BOSS ROUTE

Preserve the required counter before each Climactic Showdown.

ACT 6Cryo Element

Save a stable Hydro–Cryo core and enough sustain for its ranged pressure.

RECOMMENDED: FREEZE
ACT 8Anemo Element

Bring consistent ranged damage and preserve a premium Anemo unit for the Winged Lion.

RECOMMENDED: RANGED DPS
ACT 10Hydro Element

Reserve your most complete team for the Overseer Device. Reliable healing is safer than a fragile speed-clear setup.

REQUIRED: COMPLETE TEAM

VIGOR PLAN

1

Spend weaker units early

Each character has two Vigor. Use less important damage dealers and awkward combinations during the opening acts.

2

Build the reaction cards

Prioritize Freeze, Electro-Charged and Superconduct blessings after securing enough characters to avoid a dead roster.

3

Lock the counters

Keep Flins and Aino for Knuckle Duckle, a Freeze core for Act 6, ranged Cryo for the Stellar encounter and one complete team for the finale.

ROSTER PRIORITIES

Premium core pool

Flins IconSkirk IconSandrone IconIneffa IconFurina IconYelan Icon

Flins and Skirk cover the early featured checks. Sandrone is the strongest answer to the late Stellar encounter, while Furina and Yelan enable flexible Freeze or Electro-Charged teams.

Accessible core pool

Aino IconOroron IconXingqiu IconFischl IconDiona IconCharlotte Icon

Xingqiu is especially valuable beside trial Skirk, while Aino and Ororon support the trial Flins route. Diona and Charlotte cover the shield, healing and ranged Cryo checks.

LUNAR ARCANA CHALLENGES

Hydro Element

Arcana I

Reserve a reliable team-wide healer. The extra damage gained from a fragile fourth damage dealer is rarely worth losing the run to the continuous pressure.

REQUIRED: HEALER
Cryo Element

Arcana II

Keep one shield use available for the second optional challenge. Layla or Diona fits the season and preserves your premium damage cores.

REQUIRED: SHIELD
