Be Mindful of the Coral Parts’ Weaknesses

Coral parts, while powerful, have weaknesses. Understanding their limitations is key. Using them against enemies who exploit these weaknesses might lead to disadvantage. Know your strengths and weaknesses to ensure success. For example, a rifle excels at range, while a shield is more effective up close.
