Enemy Types and Characteristics
Basic Enemies

•Elites: Stronger versions of grunts, often with special abilities or higher stats.
Elite Enemies
•Shielded Enemies: Have shields that need to be broken before they can take direct damage. Different shields require different elemental attacks to break.
•Flying Enemies: Can be harder to hit with ground-based attacks. Characters with ranged or area-of-effect (AoE) abilities are useful.
Bosses
•Mini-Bosses: Appear in story missions or special events. They often have multiple phases and require specific strategies.
•World Bosses: Found in open-world areas, requiring coordinated attacks or specific team setups.
Elemental Weaknesses
•Fire: Weak to Ice.

Strategies for Different Enemies 
Shielded Enemies
•Ice Shields: Use Fire attacks.
•Fire Shields: Use Ice attacks.
•Quantum Shields: Use Lightning attacks.
Flying Enemies
•Characters like Himeko with her ultimate can hit flying enemies easily. Also, using characters with good range or AoE abilities like Bronya or Seele can be effective.
Elite Enemies
•Focus on breaking their shields or patterns first. Use characters that can apply crowd control or debuffs to limit their effectiveness.
Bosses
•Learn Phases: Bosses often have different phases with unique attacks. Understanding these can help in dodging or countering.
•Elemental Advantage: Always exploit their weaknesses. If a boss has a fire shield, using ice will deplete it faster.
•Team Synergy: Use characters that can heal, shield, or provide buffs. Characters like Bailu for healing or April 7th for shields can be crucial.
Notable Enemy Types
•Marquises: Often appear as elite enemies or mini-bosses. They have high defense and can counterattack if not handled carefully.
•Antimatter Legion Soldiers: Common in many areas, they can overwhelm with numbers. Focus on crowd control.
•Quantum Enemies: These enemies manipulate space and time, making them tricky. Using characters with Quantum abilities or strong physical damage can be effective.
Tips for Combat 
•Positioning: Keep your characters spread out to avoid area attacks. Use the terrain to your advantage.
•Skill Rotation: Use skills and ultimates in a way that maximizes their effectiveness, like using a shield break skill followed by a high damage ultimate.
•Debuffs: Characters like Pela can apply debuffs, making enemies easier to manage or deal with.
•Healing and Shields: Always have a healer or shield provider in your team, especially for prolonged fights or boss battles.
