2★	Clear within extended limit
1★	Just clear

Rewards

Reading the Stage

1. Check enemy weaknesses before building
2. Match team element to weakness when possible
3. Consider stage buffs for optimization

3-Star Clearing Strategies

General Tips

1. Invest in 2 Teams: Need depth, not just 1 strong team
2. Speed Tuning: Support → DPS → Sustain order
3. Target Priority: Kill dangerous enemies first
4. Save Bursts: Don't waste Ultimate on dying enemies

Cycle Management

• Track enemy action bars
• Use action advance wisely
• Break enemies to delay their turns
• Ultimate at optimal moments

When Struggling

• Lower World Level briefly (gear drops)
• Focus upgrades on 8 core characters
• Watch clear videos for rotation ideas
• Don't force it - wait for better gear

Nodes 10-12 Tips

Node 10

• Usually introductory difficulty spike
• Team building matters more than gear

Node 11

• Specific mechanics start appearing
• May need element matching

Node 12

• Hardest stage, highest rewards
• Need optimized teams + good execution
• Check enemy abilities carefully

Common Mistakes

Mistake	Solution
Same team both halves	Build 2 separate teams
Ignoring weaknesses	Check before building
Underleveled supports	Supports need investment too
Wrong speed tuning	Buffers go before DPS
Tunnel vision on DPS	Sustain prevents resets

Monthly Reset Checklist

• Check new enemy lineup
• Identify weakness types needed
• Review stage buffs
• Adjust team compositions
• Clear for Stellar Jades
• Push for higher stars if able
