A Job Too Big (Combat Mission)

The Piledriver Giant has no weaknesses and is resistant to physical attacks. Use your best rounds and grenades.

To obtain the rare Crystal Core drop, equip the Lucky Charm and target the small section at the front of the Giant (the Crystal Core part).

Consider activating the Mega Luck terminal on Level 8 (requires 50 hexes covered). This involves connecting 13 green L-shaped hexes and placing a green Energy Station. An Energy Station can be obtained from the guild at Ebel City or Cranktown (requires 5 hexes). Harvest green hexes from Shady Thugs on Level 7 if needed.

An efficient way to connect the Mega Luck terminal to the red hexes is to place the Energy Station on the second hex from the elevator on the safe path, just before the Waterless Bridge. Connect two green hexes to its left. Ensure the connection is made along the wider section of the level to avoid activating a second terminal.

An Energy Station on Level 8 is useful for resting and healing between battles.

Combat Strategy (Group 1): Use Hero run with the MG to the top corner and attack one Dwellest first with Toxic rounds. Fully scratching a Dwellest with Toxic rounds will cause them to lose all HP when they move. Repeat with the HG in the opposite corner. Initiate a tri-attack with the MG to eliminate the second Dwellest. Use the HG to stun the Giant with Smash grenades and break its gauges. Target the Giant's back, as it is vulnerable there. Use tri-attacks with 2 Resonance Points (RP) to heal damage. Avoid running into the Giant. A running attack can provide a bonus shot and an extra RP if the Giant is about to attack. Fully scratching and smashing body parts can make it easier to hit the exposed inner part.

Combat Strategy (Group 2/3/4): Use Hero run with the MG to the middle of the right wall and target the Dwellest. Send the HG running and jumping to the left, creating a line between the bunker and boxes for a tri-attack. Initiate a tri-attack starting with the MG. After defeating the Dwellest, employ the same strategy as in Group 1 for the Piledriver Giant.
