Best Pals for the fight
Best Pal team to beat Zenara & Astralym (Hard Mode)
This five-Pal team is built for the fight instead of copied from a score table. Raid guides also explain which roles belong in the larger base army.

Loadout checklist
How to prepare for Zenara & Astralym (Hard Mode)
Reach the level cap
This fight is tuned as the final build check. Do not invent a type counter for an encounter row that exposes no typing.
Awaken and soul-boost the actual team
Five famous Pals with unfinished stats are not a final-boss roster.
Carry excess healing and ammunition
The late mechanics can extend the attempt; running dry turns a recoverable fight into a reset.
Arena execution
Zenara & Astralym (Hard Mode) fight strategy
Stay mobile in phase one
Keep moving through homing projectiles, lasers, and overlapping area attacks while preserving clear shooting lanes.
Break the charged weak points
When Astralym moves to the center, focus the wings and leg orbs instead of continuing body damage.
Respect immunity
Use the immune window to heal, reload, and rotate Pals. Save burst for the return to vulnerability.
Clear rewards
Zenara & Astralym (Hard Mode) rewards
- Completes the main story and ending sequence.
- Adds the boss encounter to the Paldeck and opens repeat clears; the boss remains uncatchable.
