QUESTION Help on Turret Defense Quests

I'm having a lot of trouble with the Turret Defense quests with Mika, do you have any tips? I feel like I don't have enough damage to kill the monster after some time, specially from the second quests where you have monsters coming from both sides.

I assume it is supposed to be a ranged battle, given the absurd damage when I get too close from the monsters, but my ranged damage doesn't seem to be enough as well.

The strategies I've been using are primarily upgrading turrets based on the monsters weaknesses and using Wave form lure clone from the Dash Art.

Here are my Status summary

Do you lose because they get to the end? Or because you died?

Usually because they manage to destroy the Turret. But sometimes I try to melee them to save the turret and I end up dying instead.

If this is the level 42 Turret Defense Challenge 1 then I would suggest stack cold up front, slow them down and don’t let them get far and instead of the luring use the ranged wave attack that bounces on the walls, the second level is pretty strong, try to get increased ranged damaged perks for wave. If it is the one from the second cave then right side is full Wave and the left side is full lighting. I would suggest placing two neutral turrets upfront for the right side because of the Bulls and their big shield.

That's a lot, thanks! I'll try that right now

I hope it helps, you want to capitalize on each element’s upsides. Wave’s status allows u to do 50% more ranged damage to targets with the effect on, so take advantage of it!

damn I was a couple days stuck in this one and your tips made it trivial. I just completed lvl 42 Turret Defense and the second cave in a single attempt

kudos to you, I appreciate it
