Enemies from the Dungeon Meshi Collab also exist on this map, although no food buff items are available here.

Stage Strategies

Raidian starter squad by Danger Asian ▼

For NM it is fine to bring Raidian S2. Do not reveal the Patrolling Foliage until you have enough block to handle the three Cabbage Seedlings that spawn afterwards.

Send Windscoot and your medic to handle ‘End Point’.

Trigger the Berry Slugs preemptively so they do not stun your main blocker below the blue box.

For EM, it is recommended to bring S1 Raidian if you do not have any other recruited units.

It is possible to run S2 Raidian on EM as well. The opener involves activating the statuegeist and placing Raidian + 1 summon in the bottommost row facing left so that the left Patrolling Foilage does not get revealed. The rest is kind of yolo.

The upside of running S2 in this case is to catch any bonus enemies that may spawn. Example video link:
