What are Stable Nodes in Shiyu Defense?

Stable Nodes are the permanently available stages in the Shiyu Defense end-game mode, which will grant you a one-time reward once completed. Each stage has 3 sets of rewards that you can gain at B, A and S-Grades respectively. By meeting each stage's Challenge Targets and finishing the stage faster than the S-Grade time-limit, you will be able to claim all the rewards.

Clearing any stage at any grade, will unlock the next one for you, so don't fret if you do not manage to get an S-Grade immediately.

In this guide we will provide detailed information on each of the 10 stages, highlighting the weaknesses of the enemies in each stage, as well as potential team recommendations that might make your life a little easier in order to claim the mode's rewards.

Stable Node Stages

There are 10 stages in the Stable Node section of the Shiyu Defense. Each stage has its own set of enemies, buffs and effects that boost your characters, as well as their own Challenge Target time-limits. For the first few stages you will only need to bring a single team of 3 Agents and 1 Bangboo, but for the later and more difficult stages you will have to field 2 teams, requiring 6 Agents and 2 Bangboos total. You cannot use the same Agent or Bangboo twice.

Stable Node Stage Information

Disclaimer: This early into the game's release cycle, you will likely only have a handful of characters leveled and equipped. While this guide will recommend different teams for different stages, you are more likely to succeed by playing your highest level characters that you have the most practice with, instead of the ones that match the stage's bonuses and vulnerabilities. Simply make sure to not field a team that the enemy units have resistances against.

Use the Stage-Slider to select the stage you would like more information on.
