Strategy (Chapter 10)

Take out the mobs first.

When Nanba joins the fight, have him use Extreme Hot Air Prison on the mobs to clear them out quickly. This allows you to focus your attention on Ishioda afterwards.

Debuffs

Eri’s Flash Shot and Nanba’s Stinky Breath are good for lowering Ishioda’s hit rate and ability power during the fight. Use them whenever you can to outdamage him.

Dealing with Counterattacks

Ishioda will retaliate with a powerful counterattack when he is hit by any attack other than his weaknesses (hot, cold, and electricity). Have Eri keep all allies’ HP during most of the fight as much as possible.

Recommended Party (Chapter 14)

It is recommended to be at least Lv.47 before taking on Ishioda.

Strategy (Chapter 14)

Kill Mirror Face First

Mirror  Face should be your first priority when the battle starts. He is weak to bullet and knife damage, so have Han and Zhao use Phantom Drive Culmination and knife skills to take him out. Using Extreme Satellite Laser will also deal considerable damage to him.

Debuffs

After Mirror Face is defeated, focus all attacks on Ishioda. Han should use Poison Shot to apply poison, allowing you to continuously deplete Ishioda’s HP. Lower his defenses with Meromero Typhoon or Burning Turtle Crush and attack him with his weaknesses (hot, cold, and electricity, especially the Miss Kyaba class’ Sparkling Cannon.

Ishioda’s Red Aura

When Ishioda starts to radiate a red aura, attack him only with his weak points to prevent being targeted with a powerful counterattack. Otherwise, keep all attacking characters’ HP high at all times.
