JWA Campaign Course 5: Shields, Defense Shattering, Dodge, Precision
Defensive tricks and their answers: shields and the attacks that break them, dodge and the precise attacks that never miss. Course 5 has 26 missions across 4 chapters against enemies at level 5–12, with teams of 1 to 4. Clearing it pays 9,750 Game Coins and 11,375 DNA.
How to beat Course 5
Shield up just before the enemy's strongest attack. Break enemy shields with defense-shattering attacks instead of hitting into them, and answer dodging enemies with precise attacks, which cannot be dodged.
The game's hint: Using creatures with shielding abilites higher than level 5 will help you complete this Mission!
My approach notes are advice from the enemy teams and the game's hints, not a guaranteed win.
