Best Nikkes
Mirror Container is a more complex boss when it comes to team building, requiring a Charge unit and a high one-shot damage to break its Glass Slippers.
Against Mirror Container, Electric Nikkes will have their damage boosted a lot if they have Elemental Damage bonuses (from OL & other sources).
Mirror Container is a very beginner-unfriendly boss fight. Should you need Gloves but don't have any of the teams below, just run 1 Electric unit with your main team.
Cinderella: The best Electric Code DPS against bosses.
Maiden: Ice Rose: An off-burst unit who buffs ATK & Elemental DMG of Electric Nikkes.
Anis: Sparkling Summer: One of the best Electric buffers. Her personal damage is great against Water enemies.
Ein: Electric DPS with lots of Charge Damage and ATK buffs. She has the easiest time dealing with Glass Slippers on lower Synchro levels.
Ada Wong: Mainly buffs the ATK and True DMG of B3 Nikkes using Burst, along with good personal damage.
Rouge: Best B1 buffer for Cinderella and Maiden: Ice Rose and provides CDR too.
Best Teams
Here are some example teams you can try:
Classic MC killer
Mode: Anomaly - Mirror Container || Element: Electric
Characters
About the team
The classic electric team, buffs Cinderella a lot while Anis:Sparkling Summer and Maiden:Ice Rose have good damage output. Will need to manually use Rouge for burst regen (quick-shooting after 8 full charges for her CDR) and for breaking Glass Slippers. Maiden:Ice Rose should burst at 12th and 14th burst instead of Anis:Sparkling Summer.

Cindy Hypercarry
Mode: Anomaly - Mirror Container || Element: Electric
Characters
About the team
Every Nikke here buffs the strongest Electric DPS Cinderella. Manually full charging Helm Treasure allows for the most burst regen, and she will be the one to take down Glass Slippers. Mast:Romantic Maid should burst with Cinderella if possible.

MC Cindyless
Mode: Anomaly - Mirror Container || Element: Electric
Characters
About the team
Not having Cinderella is rough, this team is about as good as you can get without her. Ein will take care of the Glass Slippers and deal solid damage while the team supports her and does damage too.

Real True Damage
Mode: Anomaly - Mirror Container || Element: Electric
Characters
About the team
A team that can actually do well completely ignoring the main boss gimmick (Glass Slippers). Everything is concentrated into buffing Ein while Rapi:Red hood benefits from Ada S1 buff too. Mast:Romantic Maid should burst with Ein.

Boss Fight Breakdown
Mirror Container is one of the more complex bosses. In short:
- The parts in Phases 1 and 2 are called Glass Slippers and only take damage from the first attack that hits them.
- Bring an Electric Nikke for QTE (red circles).
- In Phase 2, when Glass Slippers are alive, Mirror Container gets a massive DEF boost for each non-destroyed slipper.
Mirror Container deals increased damage to Fire Nikkes:
- 300% at Stages 1~3
- 400% at Stages 4~6
- 500% at Stages 7~9
Phase I
Mirror Container maintains a permanently exposed core.
At the start, Mirror Container fires missiles at random. These can be i-framed or destroyed.
After they land, a Glass Slipper spawns and shoots a laser at the highest attack Nikke.
Next, Mirror Container shoots guns targeting the highest final ATK Nikke twice.
For the rest of Phase 1, attacks repeat in the following order: Slipper → 2x Guns → Missiles
Then, it puts up the first QTE (red circles). Only Electric Nikkes can destroy them.
Interim
After the QTE, Mirror Container vanishes and starts the 2nd QTE (red and grey circles). Avoid using weapons with AoE or spread.
Phase 2
Mirror Container puts on 4 Shields, each increasing its DEF. Destroy all 4 Glass Slippers to remove them.
The following sequence is repeated 4 times:
- Fires lasers at the highest final ATK Nikke.
- Fires a missile that can be destroyed or taunted but can't be i-framed.
- Then prepares a Glass Slipper to attack. When charged, the Glass Slipper will be exposed to attacks. It will only take damage from the first attack that hits it.
- Destroying the Slipper dispels 1 shield.
Tip
For a demonstration on how to break Slippers efficiently without sacrificing damage, watch one of the demo videos at the bottom.
After repeating 4 times, Mirror Container fires lasers, then shoots a missile before putting the 3rd QTE (red circles). Failing results in a team wipe.
After the QTE, if all Shields were dispelled, Mirror Container will alternate between lasers and missiles for the rest of the fight.
Tips
- There is absolutely no need to destroy Phase 1 Glass Slippers other than to time Bursts.
- Stalling the first QTE is worth it if it allows you to get another Burst off.
- Destroying all 4 Glass Slippers in Phase 2 is a top priority when possible.
- For maximum damage, make sure all buffs are up during Full Burst, and make sure the entire team is covered as you charge a powerful shot to destroy the Slipper.
- There is a method to destroy Glass Slippers without covering the team by pausing:
- Turn off the "Sync Cursor to Crosshair" setting.
- Burst and Full Charge with a Sniper Nikke (hold the mouse on PC).
- Pause the game without firing the charged shot.
- Without unpausing, move the crosshair to the location of the Slipper.
- Fire the shot while the game is paused (release the mouse on PC).
- Unpause.
- Reducing the game's FPS to 30 slows down the boss, which might help you get an extra Burst off.
