Mecharashi: Nova Trial 02 Extreme Assist Pilot Guide

To clear Nova Trial 02 ("Guided by Starlight") on Extreme difficulty using assist pilots in Mecharashi, keep your team tightly clustered during the first two turns to mitigate heavy enemy damage, execute a mid-battle teleport setup by Turn 3 to reposition utility units, and save high-cooldown skills for the final boss phase.

Turn-by-Turn Battle Plan

Because enemy damage scales heavily on Extreme difficulty, survival relies on controlled movement and skill preservation rather than rushing forward.

1. Turn 1 (Defensive Formation): Move your primary units into a compact cluster. This formation prevents enemies from securing flanking bonuses and keeps your support units close enough to apply immediate buffs and debuffs.
2. Turn 2 (Target Priority): Transition to controlled strikes. Focus on eliminating immediate chokepoint threats that block your path or restrict movement. Conserve high-cooldown skills and assist abilities for later turns.
3. Turn 3 (Teleport Deployment): Activate the stage's teleport mechanic. Relocate key utility pilots or healers to high ground or past chokepoints where they can support the entire map. Do not spend teleports on minor positional adjustments.
4. Turn 4 (Formation Break): Target enemy commanders and high-mobility targets that threaten your backline. If your units have taken severe damage, break line-of-sight using terrain features instead of relying purely on shields or armor.
5. Turn 5 (Wave Preparation): Re-sync your assist pilot rotation and clear remaining high-threat targets. Stabilize your team's health and defensive buffs before triggering the final enemy wave.
6. Turn 6 and Beyond (Cleanup Phase): Maintain your tight formation and eliminate stragglers systematically. Unload all remaining assist pilot charges and major skill cooldowns on the enemy boss to complete the trial.
