To clear Deep Algorithm KC-04 using the alternate Team 1 setup in Resonance Solstice, build your deck so that it contains more Red cards than Blue cards. This card ratio activates the Defensive Stance on Ancestor's Retribution, granting your squad the damage mitigation required to survive the encounter's high burst damage phases on auto-battle.
Ancestor's Retribution Stance Requirements
The survival of this alternate team relies entirely on keeping Ancestor's Retribution in its Defensive Stance. The stance condition is determined by the balance between Red and Blue cards across your active team setup.
| Stance Type | Card Requirement | Function |
|---|---|---|
| Defensive Stance | More Red cards than Blue cards | Mitigates incoming burst damage to sustain the team |
| Offensive Stance | More Blue cards than Red cards | Boosts offensive skill damage at the expense of survivability |
If your team's card generation or skill deck tips toward Blue cards, Ancestor's Retribution switches out of Defensive Stance. In Deep Algorithm KC-04, losing this stance removes your damage reduction, leading to rapid squad wipes during elite enemy waves.
Alternate Team 1 Roster Composition
To keep Red cards in the majority while maintaining necessary combat roles, structure Team 1 around the following functional requirements:
- Frontline Tank: Choose a durable unit capable of absorbing single-target burst, holding boss attention, and generating personal barriers.
- Primary Red Damage Dealer: Bring an offensive carry whose kit relies primarily on Red combat cards. This character provides the bulk of your damage output while maintaining the Defensive Stance requirement.
- Support and Healer: Use a healer or cleanser to restore hit points and remove harmful status effects. Ensure this unit's skill set does not flood the deck with excess Blue utility cards.
- Secondary Utility or Buffer: Fill the final slot with an enabler that provides crowd control, attack enhancements, or card-draw speed without shifting the card balance away from Red.
Auto-Battle Priority and Execution
To automate KC-04 cleanly, adjust your auto-battle script to prevent the AI from disrupting your card pool:
- Prioritize Frontline Survival: Assign barrier skills and high-impact defensive counters to the highest execution priority so the AI casts them as soon as they enter the hand.
- Favor Red Skill Spending: Set primary Red offensive skills above low-impact Blue utility cards in the auto-cast queue. This prevents low-value Blue skills from idling in the hand and altering your stance balance.
- Check Ratios Before Launching: Open the team deployment menu prior to entering the stage. Count the Red and Blue cards across your four selected units to confirm Red cards hold a clear majority.
- Match Position Slots: If importing community auto-configuration codes, place your leader and supporting characters into the exact team slots specified by the code to preserve proper targeting and skill order.

This saved me time in the early game.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Good guide for Resonance Solstice players. The strategy part was useful.
