BOSS ROUTE

Preserve the required counter before each Climactic Showdown. Hover or hold an icon to display its name.

ACT 3Dendro Element

Use frequent Electro application to accelerate the boss into its exhausted state, then spend the trial Cyno core's full burst window.

RECOMMENDED: ELECTRO
ACT 6Hydro Element

Preserve fast Hydro application to remove the Pyro shield. Xingqiu is a reliable trial option and leaves premium carries for later Acts.

RECOMMENDED: HYDRO
ACT 8Electro Element

Save a developed Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged core and avoid consuming all strong Hydro units during the middle acts.

RECOMMENDED: CHARGED CORE
ACT 10Dendro Element

Bring a complete team with dependable healing. Clear the critical debuff by restoring affected characters to full HP.

REQUIRED: TEAM HEALER

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
