Optimal Team Compositions and Strategies

The Marionettes are weak to Ice and Ether damage, lacking significant resistances. However, remember:

• Defeat both simultaneously; one will revive the other at 30% health.
• Exploit long recovery windows after attacks.
• Avoid spam-dodging.
• Monitor the camera during center-arena attacks.
• Don't lock onto a single Marionette.
