- Best Team: Florence (Fire, DPS), Zero (Support), Ninsar (Shield/DPS).

Aten
- Core Mechanics: Huge laser attack, ring-based AoE fields.
- Best Team: Shamash (DPS), Ereshan (DPS), Hephae (Assist).
- Tactics:

- Burst damage while boss is recharging laser.
- Bring healers for the continuous area pressure.
Pi and Wushi (Joint Boss Battle, Late Game)
- Start fighting: Pi first; focus fire until half HP to shift phases. Wushi is harder to hit if targeted first.
- Weaknesses: Pi, Dodge stuns and heavy claws; Wushi, avoid Bright Blades on the field.
- Best Team Includes: Asti (Heal), Hephae (Resist/Shield), Zero (Assist), DPS like Florence, Li Chi, or Qing.
- Tactics:
- When Pi’s head glows red or it stands upright, dodge immediately to avoid stuns and ground slams.
- In phase 2, Wushi uses more Bright Blades, stay mobile and use ranged skills when the field is obscured by cerulean mist.
- Attack Pi until defeated before focusing Wushi for a safer win.
Bifang
- Weaknesses: Dark & Thunder.
- Tactics: Stack DPS with these elements for burst damage; healers help mitigate Bifang’s area pressure.
Tower of Babel Mode (Boss Rush)
- Unlock: Complete Main Story Chapter 3-18.
- General Tips:
- Level & Power: Always bring characters well above the stage power requirement.
- Resource Management: Rotate supports to keep DPS healthy, healers and shielders (Asti, Ninsar, Zero) are critical between boss waves.
- Elemental Advantage: Scout boss info before entry; tailor teams to exploit stated weaknesses.
- Positioning: Attack bosses from behind and bait out heavy attacks before committing ultimates.
