**In the outpost battle, destroy Hod's InvasionInvader Pillar twice to advance to the boss battle.

=====CC Gauge =====

* Hod and InvasionInvader pillarsPillar have a circular gauge right beside their HP bar. For convenience, we'll call it CC Gauge .

**Every time Hod/InvasionInvader Pillar are affected by a CC ability, the skill effect duration will be accumulated in the CC Gauge .

**Once Gauge is full, the damage dealt to Hod/InvasionInvader Pillar will be increased for 30s.

*In addition to increasing the damage taken, filling the CC Gauge on Hod will increase the GroggyStagger Gauge by 25% and reduce the ATG gauge, so the importance of CC is very high.

*Accumulated CC duration required to fill the gauge depends on the difficulty level. The required time in seconds in order of Normal/Hard/VeryHard/Hardcore/Extreme/Insane is 6/7/8/9/10s10/15s (or 24/28/32/36/40s40/60s total to stun boss for 20s)

=====Invasion Invader Pillar =====

*InvasionInvader PillarsPillar have a blue circular Erosion Field.<br /> After a certain amount of time, the erosion range will increase, and if the turret of friendly unit is eroded, the turret will attack the students instead.

*If therea student is a students inside the erosion field, thetheir cost recovery ofwill that student willbe decreased. <br /> In order to reducedreduce the erosion range, you need to fill up the CC gauge of the InvasionInvader Pillar.

=====Groggy Stagger Gauge=====

*The boss has a thin gauge at the bottom of its HP bar. The GroggyStagger Gauge will fill up by a quarter each time CC Gauge is completely filled. The GroggyStagger Hauge can be filled up to 4 times (each time is 25,000,000; total is 100,000,000), when all 4 times has been accumulated, the boss will be stunned for 20s. <br />GroggyStagger Gauge if filled by either destroying the summoned InvasionInvader Pillar, or by filling up Hod's CC Gauge.

*Hod will summon a pillar immediately when the boss battle phase stars (sometimes it could use a different skill, it is recommend to restart the fight when this happens), and will continue summoning new ones roughly 1 minute after previous InvasionInvader Pillar is destroyed.<br />Pillar summoning can be interrupted by completely filling GroggyStagger Gauge during the summoning animation. If you succeed in cancelling it, Hod will no longer summon InvasionInvader PillarsPillar for the remainder of battle.

|Standard high-dps penetration student with 3-cost EX skill. You can target the pillar with her EX and hit Hod simultaneously thanks to the small cone AOE. One of the best boss killerkillers in every Heavy raid.

|A Penetration student who is strong against a single enemy with 5-cost EX. Hod raid will only have pillarone andviable himselftarget soat itthe istime very(either easyHod toitself dealor withthe Invader Pillar), which makes Maki very suitable. Maki will sometimes use ither Defense-reducing Normal skill on the pillars andinstead notof Hod resulting in a massive damage loss, so it is recommend to wait for the right timing to destroy the pillars so that she can use her Normal Skill on Hod and deal tons of damage.

|★1 Penetration student whothat is strong against a single enemytargets, with 4-cost EX. Pina needneeds ★3 for her to work but if you have no one else, she is the best choice to go for.

|★1 Welfare student from the [[Happy Schale ♡ Valentine patrol]] Event. She can stun enemy with her Normal Skill, although the Normal Skill stun duration is short (1.9s/2.1s/2.3s/2.5s), her Sub Skill will let her apply stun very consistently. You do not need to use her skill, just havehaving her in the team is enough.

|5-Cost EX, summon peroroPeroro-sama with a "Taunt" effect for 3.4s/3.9s. Cost to duration ratio isntisn't very good but you can use her if you lack other CC unitunits.

|4-Cost EX, Taunt enemy in a very large range for 4.7s/5.4s/6.2s. The best unit for CC because she can easily Taunt both pillar and Hod due to her large range.

|4-Cost EX, Stunapplies Enemy1s/1.4s stun to enemies in a small cone rangewith foreach 1s/1.4sshot (Need to beneeds EX3+). The other great unit to stack CC because at EX5 youshe can stack a total of 7s by herself, but the downside is that her position can be random and she might fail to hit both pillar and Hod at the same time.

|3-Cost EX, damage is nothing crazy, but she is very good because of her EX stun for long duration, atlow acost lowEX coststun (5.6s/6.6s/7.5s).

| 4-Cost EX, high damage against Hod because of its size, Normal Skill havehas a 50% chance to stun for 3.1s. Great Sub Skill that boostboosts team ATK%Attack. A bit RNG but still very good.

|4-Cost Ex, ★1 that can stun for a short duration (2.2s/2.5s/2.9s). She is a bit better than Hare at ★3 because Sub Skill grantgrants allies better CC strengthStrength, otherwise not a good pick unless you have no one else.

|4-Cost EX, Explosive attack so you shouldn't expect any damage from her, but her EX Stun is longer than Yoshimi's at ★1 (2.7s/3.1s/3.5s).

|3-Cost EX that buffbuffs allies ATK%Attack in a circle, cheap and useful to cycle to your other unit skillskills while buffing them. Great Sub Skill unlocked at ★3 that boostboosts whole team ATK%Attack.
