For this dungeon we finally get Shio, the second best character in the game in my opinion. Shio is naturally min-maxed to focus on power attacks, so buffing up his power attack even more cases him to deal a tooooooon of damage quickly. Keeping his defense up helps him tank hits between the attacks as well, which you need on this difficulty so you have to find a balance between increasing his power attack damage and giving him some survivability.

Shio is amazing for quickly killing enemies that could otherwise prove to be a real hassle, doubly so if he has an elemental advantage. The only down side is that he can be tricky to land hits against a mobile enemy. He works very well when using a X-Drive with Asuka as the support, because she'll freeze the enemy and leave them wide open for punishment. It's a great combo and is why you should bring Shio and Asuka with you for as many dungeons as you can.

This dungeon is a bit longer than normal. They also gave it a unique boss that we never fight as a palette swap anywhere else, which is why I'm a bit unused to fighting it. The boss is a giant plant enemy that has extremely long sweeps with its tentacles or it can outright smash its head into the ground to create a shockwave. 

It's head is it's weak point and if damaged enough it'll fall to the ground and be wide open for punishment from Shio. It's also weak to Fire, which is Shio's main element so even more reason to use him for this fight. It can hit pretty hard and is fairly aggressive as well, so keep your guard up and time your specials well to avoid some attacks. Asuka can fire straight at the boss's head even if it's not stunned, so she can damage it more than usual which is nice.
