Mecharashi Submerged Era EXTREME Guide: Tactics & Part Breaks

To clear the Armed Conquest: Submerged Era EXTREME stage in Mecharashi, focus your entire team's fire on breaking the boss's primary weapon parts first while positioning high-mobility units on elevated terrain to gain accuracy and damage bonuses.

Recommended Team Roles

Surviving the high stat thresholds of EXTREME difficulty requires a balanced squad structure focused on single-target damage, utility, and mobility:

• Single-Target Damage Dealers: Bring pilots with high damage-per-action capability to break targeted mech components quickly.
• Support Units: Deploy pilots capable of applying offensive buffs to allies or defensive debuffs to the boss to ensure your team hits mandatory damage checks.
• High-Mobility Pilots: Include mobile mechs to secure early map positions, flank stationary targets, and bait strong boss attacks away from vulnerable allies.

Tactical Positioning and Terrain Elevation

Map elevation heavily dictates combat efficiency in the Submerged Era encounter. Early in the turn sequence, move your primary damage dealers onto high-ground tiles. Taking elevation increases your attack accuracy and damage output while reducing the effectiveness of enemy counter-attacks.

Before ending any turn, check the boss's primary attack ranges:

1. Keep frail damage dealers outside the boss's main strike zone unless defensive shields or damage-reduction buffs are active.
2. Use high-mobility pilots to bait dangerous boss abilities toward tankier or shielded units positioned away from your main squad.

Part-Break Execution Sequence

The boss relies on reinforced weapon systems that dictate its offensive threat. Concentrating damage on specific components is far more effective than spreading damage across its entire health pool.

• Target Weapons First: Focus attacks on the boss's primary weapon parts to permanently lower its damage output.
• Focus Fire Single Components: Have all squad members attack the same part until it breaks. Breaking a part temporarily stuns the boss or delays its attack frequency, creating a safe recovery window.
• Track the Break Meter: Monitor the boss's break status and hold your highest-damage cooldowns until the part breaks or the boss becomes staggered.

Cooldown Management and Stat Optimization

Because high-difficulty encounters restrict long-term survival, managing skill usage and gear stats is critical to meeting damage checks:

• Align Skill Cycles: Hold powerful single-target skills for turns when your support pilots apply active damage buffs or defense debuffs. Firing burst attacks without support multipliers often leads to missed part-break thresholds.
• Manage Energy Reserves: Use basic attacks during early turns to build energy so your squad has maximum resources available during critical break windows.
• Optimize Existing Gear: If you fail to break parts in a single turn cycle, upgrade your current weapon types and adjust accessory stat distributions before altering your pilot lineup. Improving stat efficiency on a familiar squad is more reliable than swapping in under-leveled units.
