Team Recommendations

Healer in slot 3, then DPS in the other slots.
- Quick ultimate users are recommended for slots 1/2, and strong basic attackers should go in slots 4/5.
Elemental damage is disabled here so bring what you like.

Stage Tips

On turn 2: Guarding with slots 1/2/4/5 will grant slot 3 a shield, and slot 3 will be able to block more damage. You need to guard everyone to avoid the following attack.
End of turn 2: Slot 3 will be hit with a strong attack.
On turn 5: Ultimates from slots 1 and 2 will make the enemy take 75% more ultimate damage for 2 turns, so use your ultimates for these two slots on this turn first, then your other ultimates.
- The enemy will take no damage from basic attacks this turn or the next. You must use the ultimates above to do damage with ultimates.
End of turn 7: A strong ultimate will be used on slot 3.
On turn 9: Basic attacks from slots 4 and 5 will make the enemy take 75% more basic attack damage for 2 turns, so use them on this turn from these slots first, then the other basic attacks.
- The enemy will take no damage from ultimates this turn or the next. You must use the basic attacks above to do damage with basic attacks.

Stage Tips

Phase one of this fight is just guarding for the most part, but here's a detailed list. Just guard/heal until he hits 66% HP.
On turn 1, 2, and 3: Guard at least slots 1/2/4/5. The enemy cannot be damaged.
On turn 4: Guard 1/2/4/5 again. This time you will get a shield, make the enemy take more damage, and counter the enemy with slots 1/2/4/5.
- If you have a DPS in slot 3 you can use it AFTER the other four have guarded.
End of turn 4: Slots 1/2/4/5 will be hit hard, but if you guarded they should counterattack the enemy.
On turn 5 and 6: Guard 1/2/4/5 again.
On turn 7: Guard 1/2/4/5 again for the shield/damage/counter.
- If you have a DPS in slot 3 you can use it AFTER the other four have guarded.

By now you should have hit 66% HP. If you didn't, then just keep guarding until you reach this phase. You can now damage the enemy, so you no longer have to guard, and his HP lock is removed.
He will use a strong ultimate the turn after.
The following turn, he will target a specific slot. This unit will not be able to heal, and it will have a forced taunt.
- That slot will be hit with the same ultimate as above on the following turn, so guard if you cannot handle it.
- This behavior will loop until he dies.

Enemies

Team Recommendations

Healer and at least 4 units that can damage the enemy.
- Have at least 1 quick ultimate user, or at least rotate your ultimates to be able to remove Dante's taunt when needed.
If the enemy healing is a problem for you, you can use units with recovery down like SR Kuya to help.

Stage Tips

Garu and Dante will counter-attack any attacks on them. Dante will also heal the party if you attack him.
- Kill Garu first, then Dante to make things easier on yourself. You do not have to kill them at the same time.

End of turn 4: Garu and Dante will use skills to strengthen their counter-attacks (and Dante's healing ability).
On turn 5: If you can't handle the counter-attacks, just guard this turn.
On turn 6: hit Dante with an ultimate to remove his taunt, then attack Garu with a basic attack three times.
- Three basic attacks are needed because he has a 300% damage debuff, and each hit takes off 150% (and you need to do damage to stop his assault with the third).
