Zenith Battle Strategy: Zenith Guidebook

Hello

Hello. I am the poster.

On a personal note, I discovered some delicious Japanese sake when I went out the other day, and I’ve been drinking it as a nightcap every night lately, and I’m very happy.

I feel happy when I discover something delicious at random times like this. Is there anything you would like to know recently?

Enough chatting!
Shall we get on with it?

I would be more than happy if this article was a good way to kill time for you.

Introduction

Perhaps when you hear about zenith battles, some people think that it’s content that is done by people who are at the top of the arena, and if you don’t have the aircraft and pilots, you don’t have the materials, and it’s not something you can do.

However, in order to recommend this Zenith Match to such people, I would like to give an introductory explanation of the Zenith Match and explain how it has delicious benefits.

About the Zenith match system

rank

First of all, Zenith battles are divided into ranks from Bronze to Master to ACE, just like normal Arena, but unlike normal, each rank other than ACE is further divided into five.

	Bronze	Silver	Gold

Rank	V～I	V～I	V～I
points	0～999	1000～1999	2000～2999

	Platinum	Diamond	Master	ACE

Rank	V～I	V～I	V～I	TOP30 people
points	3000～3999	4000～4999	5000～5999	6000～

Also, unlike a normal arena, the ranking is not swapped with the winning opponent, but the arena is designed so that if you win in attack and defense, points will increase, and if you lose, points will decrease.
It may be boring to hear this, but in bronze and silver, point deductions are exempted when you lose.
Furthermore, since the last update several times, the negative points for losses have been relaxed, and the system has been changed so that up to 5 times a day, whether you win or lose, you will receive a +10 point bonus on the increased or decreased points.
As a result, Zenith battles have become more active than before, and while previously there were less than 100 people in the master level, there are now more than 400 people who have reached master level.
If you look at it just for this reason, you might say it’s easier to get into than a normal arena.

Rewards

There are two main rewards you can get from Zenith Battles: Voucher EX and “Zenith Proof”, which is the currency used to exchange items at a dedicated shop.
There are two ways to obtain “Zenith Proof”:
① Class rewards received after the Zenith battle ends
(This is the reward for the highest rank reached during the period, so it is okay even if the rank falls at the end.)
② Battle rewards based on the number of challenges
(You can receive it if you challenge a certain number of times during the period, regardless of whether you win or lose.)
We recommend the following 5 items that can be exchanged using this Zenith Proof:

	Item	Zenith Proof: Required number	Recommended degree
Surpass Cube		900	No.1
Atomic Core: 800		100	No.2
Chocolate Bonbon		200	No.3
Various parts box		1800～2400	No.4
coin: 1 million		150	No.5

Surpass Cube (Zenith Proof 900 pieces)

You can exchange special items used for the second super modification of the

aircraft, some of which are dropped on the story map or distributed at limited time events, but you will need one to modify the aircraft, so you will want to secure one.

Various parts boxes (Zenith proof 2400-1800 pieces)

Monthly badges are divided into different categories, and S-class parts can be exchanged. Although it is relatively expensive, it is difficult to target one part from the parts cube, so if there is a part you really want, you can exchange it.

Chocolate Bonbon (Zenith Proof 200 pieces)

An item that increases the pilot’s favorability rating by 15. When you want to recruit a pilot at a bar, you can do so one less time than the iron mark (favorability +10).

800 Atomic Cores (Zenith Proof 100 pieces) Among the items lined up in the

shop, it has a very high rate and is the most recommended. If you achieve Silver I after 40 battles, you will get 1100 Zenith Proofs, and if you change them all to Atomics, you will be able to get 8800 Atomics in one event.

1 million coins (Zenith proof 150 pieces)

Although the rate is a little lower than

Atomic etc., the number of 1 million coins is still attractive and it is worth exchanging it if you really don’t have enough coins.

Zenith Battle Introduction

The battle format of the Zenith match is that three formations play 4vs4 against the same opponent, and the first one to win two matches wins.It may seem like a high hurdle if you just listen to that, but unlike other arenas, in Zenith battles you can see the opponent’s defense formation, so it is possible to avoid the opponent’s first army or hit pilots or aircraft that can take advantage of the opponent’s formation.
So, first of all, let’s aim to reach Gold rank!

Gold	Zenith proof reward	Gacha ticket reward	Required points
	700～900	3 pieces	2000～2999

As I explained before, the Zenith match is designed so that at the end of the period, you will receive the reward for the highest rank you reached up to that point, and Bronze and Silver ranks are exempt from the disadvantage of losing points. So anyway, let’s try without worrying about losing until we reach the gold rank.
Then, when the Zenith match period ends and the next Zenith match starts, you will start with a 2-rank drop, so if you keep working hard until you reach gold again, it will gradually become easier to manage the materials. (not)

Organization for starting a zenith match

When making three formations, it is standard and recommended to make them as follows.
①: Composition used in the arena
②:Organization with some kind of concept in mind
③: Leftovers formation made up of remaining aircraft

Organization used in Arena

• When it comes to zenith battles, if you spread your forces too much, you will often not be able to win, so I recommend the formation that you usually use in the arena. If you don’t play arenas regularly, try setting up a team and if you can win 50-70% of the time in a regular arena, you’ll be fine, so try using that.

Organization with some kind of concept in mind

• For example, you can use pilot Judith’s passive skill assimilation holy book to unify pilots belonging to the Machine Church, or use pilot Nanase Shiozuki or Warren Soros’s passive skill resist aura to have a passive skill belief. pilots (Nagare Ryoma, Kageki, etc.) and formations that use S-class painted parts radiation coat to increase status ailment resistance to 100%. Even pilots that are somewhat lacking in strength when used alone can become extremely powerful depending on the combination, so try creating a formation with these combinations in mind.

Leftovers formation assembled from remaining aircraft

If you create two formations, the third one tends to be left over, so for the time being, try putting as much force as you can into either the 3 vanguard 3 rear 1 or 2 vanguard 2 rear 2 formations, or in the worst case scenario, use it as a formation to evade the opponent’s first army.

Parts

After assembling the aircraft and pilot, the next step is the parts, and the priority order of the important parts is as follows, considering the zenith battle. (There are various theories)
① :Armor
② :Auxiliary
③ :Core
④ :Painting
⑤ :Bullet

Armored

As of April 2022, hard shells are sweeping the environment, and you can get pieces in challenge 29 for parts that you want to equip to the aircraft you use as much as possible, so do your best to collect them.

Auxiliary

Basically, it is mainstream to use a suspension system, and you can also get pieces of this in challenge 19, so you want to collect it.
Also, the emergency separation device can’t be strongly recommended because the means to obtain it are limited to moon badges, parts boxes (auxiliary), purple parts fragment cubes, parts cubes, and the black market, but if you equip it to the rear aircraft, it will increase your survivability, so if you can get it, I recommend equipping it.

core, bullet

I won’t touch on it this time as it varies greatly depending on the aircraft.

painting

For Mamoru, there are three types: sloped armor (dropped in story 35-6), radiation coat (challenge 12), and volatile liquid metal paint (not dropped in story or challenge).For the rear guard, a disguised coat with A parts is recommended.
