Tips
  • The Pulsework Champion can block frequently and hits quite hard, so keep a close eye on your party's health bars.

  • Focus on surviving and building your stagger gauge. Once it's staggered, go all out to finish it quickly.
  • Initial Reward: Perfect Conductor x3, 2,860 CP
  • Repeat Reward: Piezoelectric Element x4
