LI SUSHANG TRAINING

Jade Knight Training Interface
Combat Training
Combat Talents

Active Skill
Use Training Diary to upgrade the skill level related to combat, bringing you active dodge ability, more active skill times and higher active skill damage.

Combat Courses
There are 3 types of stages: Combat Courses, Challenge Courses for elite monsters, and Final Test for boss battles. Most of the monsters in the stage are QUA-types, you can use the stage effect to break the shield faster. It is notable that the "Fire Blast" that is automatically released every 10 seconds in the stage can break their quantum shield, so it is necessary to timing the release rhythm of active skills.
In the Challenge Course, additional restrictions and difficulties are added. It is recommended to bring QUA-type characters in the team to help break the shield. The buff provided in "Susannah's Talents" can reduce the difficulty of clearing the level. You can first play the normal level to get experience to upgrade skills and then return to the challenge course.

Final Test
Kyabetsuちゃん Tips: Only when the stage timer in the upper-right corner is less than 50 seconds can you get 1500 points.
Trial Susannah: Dracula T Dira MB + Twirling Glaze
Trial Griseo: Sage's Mentor Set + Elysian Astra
Trial Herrscher of Sentience: Detective of the Fog Set + Keys of Oblivion

Gameplay Process:
- At the start, Shikiちゃん ran towards the edge of the map. After Li Sushang appeared, used the Active Skill in advance, and then use Shikiちゃん Evasion to pull Li Sushang to the edge of the map and was hit by the fire ring.
- After using Active Skill, you can fight by the way while waiting for the cooldown and use it again to finish first stage. The flying swords that emerge during the transition can be quickly dealt with in the form of chain blades of Shikiちゃん.
- After dealing with the chain blade, immediately switch to combat stance of VQ-HoS-Griseo standard rotation, keep using the Active Skill and be watchful of Ultimate Evasion Indicator above health bar to be used to keep Li Sushang paralyzed.
Technique Training
The technique course in Li Sushang Training is to avoid flying swords, and the gameplay is similar to the traditional barrage game. There are five different flying sword attack forms in the training room.

Captain can also use Training Diary to increase Susannah health and movement speed in the training room and reduce the dodge cooldown.
Technique Talents
Ordinary Blue Flying Sword - Locate the current position of the character and launch it, without changing the trajectory, easy to avoid.

Pink Tracking Flying Sword - Based on the blue Flying Sword, it will move with the character after launching, and disappear automatically after a period of time, and needs to keep moving to avoid.

Blue Intensive Flying Sword - Locate the current position of the character, and launch multiple flying swords in a cross shape, need to move out of the range to avoid.

Blue Giant Sword - Launch a blue giant sword with a fixed trajectory, which will not locate the character's position, but the damage and judgment range are very large, which will limit the character's position.

Blue Giant Sword Slash - A blue giant sword with a fixed trajectory will not locate the position of the character. Unlike the blue giant sword, there will be a red indicator on the ground before it smashes down and a reminder of the distance to smash down. You will still take damage if you touch it for a period of time after the smash.

Due to the variety of flying swords that need to be avoided, there are no safe spots. However, it is also very easy to clear the level. You only need to circle the field. If you encounter a situation where you cannot avoid it and you must be injured, you can choose to be attacked by a small flying sword with lower damage to avoid higher damage.

DURANDAL TRAINING

Bright Knight: Excelsis Training Interface
Combat Training
Combat Talents

Combat Active Skill
Use Training Diary to upgrade the skill level related to combat, increase the damage of the Active Skill and obtain additional vulnerability effects, greatly increasing the speed of customs clearance.

Combat Course
The stage effect is the high damage of a delayed explosion. Using the Weapon Active (up to three times) before using the Active Skill can increase the damage of Abyss Flower explosion. In the challenge course, additional restrictions and difficulties were added to the stage. Since the enemy can only be killed with the bleeding status, it is recommended to bring Susannah or Griseo in the team, which can easily apply the bleeding status.

Final Test
The trial lineup cannot score 1500 points for the time being, and Bright Knight: Excelsis has high physical resistance, so it is difficult to score points with the physical lineup. Therefore, it is recommended to use the Lightning Team to play this off.

Herrscher of Thunder: Moon Dragon Set + Seven Thunders of Retribution: Narukami
Golden Diva: High Baroque Maestro Set + Echo of Paradise: Time Ruins
Herrscher of Truth: In the Name of Truth Set + Domain of Ascension: Truth Continuity

Gameplay Process:
- At the start, use HoT Weapon Active, switch to Truthnya and then use Weapon Active and tap Ult to enter Coolnya Mode. The more weapon skills are used, the more damage the level skills will cause.
- After Truthnya Ultimate Evasion, Eden enters through QTE and use Combo ATK to trigger additional dmg and activate Active Skill (the more Weapon Active are used, the more damage the Active Skill will cause), then dodge BKE shield to trigger HoT QTE. Thus ending the first phase.
- Switch back to Truthnya during the initial of second phase, enter Coolnya Mode and use Combo ATK and ULT, Eden QTE comes out and use Active Skill and ULT, and then Combo ATK to trigger HoT QTE, use standard rotation for HoT + 7Thunders. (During the period, the Active Skill will be used after cooling down)
Technique Training
In Durandal's Course, the gameplay becomes a music strike game like Muse Dash. It is necessary to follow the rhythm of the music to attack the incoming bullets from above and below. intercept.

Captain can also use Training Diary to improve the score in the training room and increase the number of mistakes you can make.
Technique Talents
The "Perfect" Score in the event has nothing to do with Susannah's actions. You need to wait for all the bullets to enter the grid before clicking the button. Since the position is too close to Susannah, there is no need to press the button in advance during the actual challenge, but let the bullet slightly cross the area and then press to achieve a perfect score.


RITA TRAINING

Argent Knight: Artemis Training Interface
Combat Training
Combat Talents

Combat Active Skill
Use Training Diary to upgrade the skill level related to combat, increase the damage of the Active Skill and obtain higher damage, and greatly increase the speed of customs clearance.

Combat Course
The stage effect is to apply high damage and bleeding effects to all enemies in the field. Since the count of Active Skill is obtained through the number of combos, it is recommended that you use high-frequency characters to speed up the release of Active Skill.
If Susannah have obtained a higher Ability Ratings in Talent, you don't have to worry about the effect of Rita's challenge course. The extra total damage and attack power bonus obtained in the Talents will make a single damage far exceeds 800. It's just that everyone can no longer use low-damage high-frequency attacks to trigger the charging of Active Skill.

Final Test
Argent Kngiht: Artemis has high resistance to ice damage and low fire damage, it is also found in the actual test that it is not affected by the accumulation of paralysis, so here we mainly recommend fire damage and physical lineups to play this level.

Herrscher of Finality: In the Name of Finality Set + Domain of Genesis
Herrscher of Truth: In the Name of Truth Set + Domain of Ascension: Truth Continuity

Chrono Navi: Idol Transformation Set + Rudder in Dream Λ-I
Herrscher of Truth: In the Name of Truth Set + Domain of Ascension: Truth Continuity
Gameplay Process: Captain can easily finish the Final Test in one standard SpA-CN-Truth Rotation, so rest easy but keep in mind that you have to keep using the Active Skill to enhance your team's dmg.
Technique Training
In Rita’s Course, the gameplay becomes a music rhythm game.

Captain can also use Training Diary to improve the score in the training room but because the difficulty of this training is not high, it is recommended to select the relevant skill level to upgrade at the end.
Captain needs to wait for the aperture to shrink to a yellow light before tapping the button, since there is no perfect setting and the yellow light emitted is too obvious, it is still very simple.
