Mecharashi Nova Trial Challenge 2 EXTREME Strategy

To defeat the boss in Nova Trial Challenge 2 EXTREME in Mecharashi, spread your squad across the grid to avoid area-of-effect splash damage and bring pilots equipped with Part Break abilities to destroy the boss's offensive limbs.

Squad Positioning and Pathing Control

The EXTREME boss relies on high mobility and multi-target gap-closers that quickly wipe out backline pilots.

• Spread out your formation: Keep pilots separated on the tactical grid to ensure splash damage hits only one unit per attack.
• Bait with a tank: Place a high physical defense unit within the boss's movement range to control its pathing. This locks the boss into attacking your main tank, allowing your primary damage dealers to stay stationary and spend Action Points (AP) on attacks rather than repositioning.

Shield Mechanics and Part Destruction

The boss possesses a heavy shield that negates direct damage to its core body until dismantled.

1. Focus on limbs while shielded: Rather than targeting the main body, direct your initial attacks at the boss's offensive limbs and modules.
2. Apply Part Break capabilities: Deploy pilots with explicit Part Break skills. Destroying offensive modules significantly reduces the boss's incoming damage output and creates safer turns for your support pilots to heal and buff.
3. Exploit vulnerability windows: Save high-cost burst skills for when the shield is depleted or when visual indicators mark a vulnerability state. Dumping high-cost skills into an active shield risks letting the boss recover health or gain temporary buffs.

Action Point Management and Skill Rotations

AP management is strict, and wasting energy on basic movement or un-buffed attacks can cause you to fail stage turn limits.

• Prioritize multi-action skills: Select pilot skills that offer double-tap hits, extra attacks, or movement resets to maximize damage per turn.
• Sequence debuffs before burst damage: Apply armor breaks and defense debuffs first so that follow-up attacks hit maximum damage thresholds.
• Equip AP gear on supports: Outfit support units with gear that boosts energy recovery or reduces skill costs to sustain your squad's attack rotation throughout the fight.
