JWA Campaign Course 4: Damage Reduction, Armor, Armor Piercing, Vulnerability

Four chapters on taking less damage and getting past it: distracting attacks, armor, armor-piercing attacks and vulnerability. Course 4 has 24 missions across 4 chapters against enemies at level 4–11, with teams of 1 to 3. Clearing it pays 7,800 Game Coins and 10,500 DNA.

How to beat Course 4

Against armored enemies, use attacks that pierce armor; against creatures that cut your damage, hit them with vulnerability first so each strike lands harder. When a chapter asks you to use damage reduction, open with it before the enemy's big hit.

The game's hint: Using damage reducing creatures higher than Level 2 will help you complete this Mission!

My approach notes are advice from the enemy teams and the game's hints, not a guaranteed win.
