Mecharashi Armed Conquest: Submerged Era Boss Team Strategy

To clear boss encounters in Mecharashi's Armed Conquest: Submerged Era mode, build a squad balanced between armor-shredding DPS and support utility, maintain a spread formation to avoid area-of-effect (AOE) damage, and hold your high-damage skills for boss phase transitions or shield breaks.

Squad Composition and Functional Roles

Armed Conquest boss fights penalize teams that rely solely on raw stats. You must match your team's utility and damage output to the specific boss vulnerabilities, such as armor resistance or shield mechanics.

Role	Squad Priority	Key Tactical Function
Armor Piercing / Core DPS	High	Triggers follow-up strikes and shreds boss armor to meet turn limits.
High-Mobility Striker	High	Repositions after attacking to escape boss counterattacks and AOE bursts.
Utility / Support	High	Provides movement buffs, damage reduction, and essential armor repairs.
Flex Slots (2 Units)	Situational	Swapped based on elemental vulnerabilities or map-specific range needs.

Before starting a stage, verify the boss's elemental weak points and defense mechanics. Swapping out an offensive pilot for a support unit with matching elemental buffs or passive armor-shredding skills is often required to achieve a 3-star clear.

Positioning and Map Execution

Bosses in the Submerged Era deploy frequent, wide-reaching attacks that punish bunched-up units. Execute these movement rules during combat:

Maintain a Spread Formation: Keep squad members separated so the boss's wide AOE skills hit no more than one or two mechs at a time. This reduces overall damage taken and gives repair units time to patch up targeted mechs.
Utilize Terrain and Range: Move long-range snipers and artillery onto high ground or designated cover spots to boost survival and maintain steady damage from safe distances.
Manage Proximity Buffs: Place support units close enough to transmit passive statutory buffs to your primary DPS units without clustering directly in the boss's frontline attack path.

Skill Rotations and Phase Management

Managing ability timing is crucial for clearing bosses within strict turn limits. Avoid using your strongest skills immediately at the start of battle.

Save Ultimates for Phase Transitions: Bosses trigger aggressive new phases or defensive shields at specific health thresholds. Reserve high-damage ultimate abilities to break shields immediately or disrupt charging animations.
Time Armor Shredding: Apply armor-shredding debuffs directly before your heavy damage dealers turn to maximize burst windows.
Troubleshoot Early Downed Units: If frontline mechs fail early, adjust your loadout to include defensive passive mitigation or specialized armor repair pilots rather than extra offense.
