TIPS for completing mission
1. Shroud are your friends
Deceptisol ( auto ambush ), Aegisol ( auto offense buff ), and Fortisol ( auto defense buff ). Though you will get a bunch of them during the storyline mission, there are very scarce and expensive. Tried to use it on the harder missions ( for 5 star rating ).
2. Always Try to Ambush
some enemies are slow to react, you can always ambush them with using any shroud items.
3. Always Save
The best thing to get a 5 star rating is always to save before fighting the monsters. Some of the Cie’th marker is close but 80% are very far apart which makes repeating a hassle.
4. For post game leveling up
try to complete mission 54 as fast as you can because the reward is a 2xCP accessories ( Growth Egg ). This will speed up your character development tremendously
5. Gold Watch ( mission 64 )
this accessories can help give you additional time to achieve 5 star rating. However, it’s not critical because you can do it without using it at all.
