Build around the Geo Resonance

When using Itto as the Main DPS, it is highly recommended to have multiple Geo characters to activate the Geo Resonance buff. This will increase shield strength as well as overall damage dealt when shielded.

Use a character that can Recharge the energy for the team

Arataki Itto's overall damage increases with the use of his Elemental Burst. We recommend increasing Energy Recharge so that Itto can always use his Elemental Burst when not on cooldown. The Raiden Shogun and the Electro Traveler are the best characters for achieving that!

Best Team for Kokomi

Since Kokomi will be used as a Main DPS, it is highly recommended pairing her with a Cryo character to trigger the Freezing Elemental Reaction. Kokomi's Hydro attacks will make it easier to freeze enemies and subsequently easier to defeat.

No need for Healer in Support position

A healer is not necessary for the Support position as Kokomi can provide healing herself. Instead of a healer, consider putting a support that can provide buffs or shields instead.

Every time an enemy gets hit by Aloy's Elemental Skill she gain a Coil Stack which increases her damage. Reaching 4 Coil stacks clears it and increases her damage even further while also infusing it with Cryo.

With the help of Anemo skills and bursts, Aloy's Elemental Skill will be easier to land and hit more enemies, filling her Coil Stack faster.

Activate Cryo Resonance Bonus

Adding another Cryo character to the team will activate the Cryo Resonance bonus, which will increase Crit Rate on enemies that are frozen or affected by Cryo.

Best Team for Yoimiya

Bring Buffs and Shields

Since Sayu has a self-healing skill, it's better to bring a Support that will grant buffs or shields instead.

Hu Tao's attacks get infused with Pyro when she uses her Elemental Skill. By adding a Cryo or Hydro Sub-DPS character, Hu Tao can trigger Melt and Vaporize reactions to increase her overall damage.

Get Shields Instead of Healer

Since Hu Tao's damage increases depending on how low her HP is, it's better to focus on providing shields instead of heals so that she can take more hits while also keeping her damage output high.

Keep Opponents Frozen

Ganyu is a heavy hitter, but as a Bow user, she would need the right environment to be able to continuously land hits to the most number of opponents. Use Hydro characters to be able to Freeze opponents when paired with Ganyu's Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst.

Make it Easier to Hit Enemies

In addition to triggering the Freeze Reaction, characters who can provide crowd control for smaller enemies and a shield for Ganyu can make it easier to focus on dealing as much damage as possible while avoiding taking any hits.

Use a Pyro Support for Elemental Resonance

Another way to increase Xinyan's damage is to have a second Pyro character in the party to provide Elemental Resonance and increase her ATK by 25%.

・Anemo Resonance and Kaeya's passive decreases Stamina Consumption and increases Movement Speed. ・Klee's passive can mark Mondstadt local specialties on the minimap. ・Venti's Skill and Burst make it easier to reach high places.

With Kaeya's Passive Talent and Anemo Resonance active, movement is increased thanks to the decreased stamina consumption and increased movement speed.

Since there are also a lot of Pyro torch puzzles around Mondstadt, Klee can be used to solve it while also marking out Mondstadt local specialties on the mini-map.

Liyue Exploration Party
Zhongli	Qiqi	Amber	Traveler (Geo)
Strengths
・Zhongli and the Traveler (Geo) can create Geo Constructs to solve the puzzles around Liyue and also use it to reach higher places. ・Similar to Klee, Qiqi's Passive Talent marks out Liyue local specialties on the mini-map. ・Party setup has good HP management with Qiqi as a healer and Zhongli providing shields. ・Amber can decrease gliding stamina consumption as well as solve any Pyro puzzles. ・Zhongli's Elemental Skill can be used to quickly mine ores.

Zhongli makes exploration around Liyue easier as he can defeat the enemies that use Geo shields and solve the Geo puzzle found all over the region. Since the Liyue region also has a lot of high mountains, Amber and her Passive Talent will come in handy when you're gliding from different points of the map.

Party Building Tips & Tricks

Start by Choosing the Main DPS

Role	・Main source of damage for the team.
Features	・Damage is mostly from Normal or Charged attacks.

When building a team, it is best to always start with the Main DPS and build around them. As the Main DPS they will be dealing the most damage and be out on the field for longer.

The Main DPS should specialize in combat, preferably one that can deal high amounts of damage with even just their Normal or Charged attacks.

Pick Sub-DPS with Elemental Reaction

Role	・Secondary source of damage. ・Sets up Elemental Reactions for the Main DPS.
Features	・Reliant on Skills or Bursts for damage. ・Effects of Skills or Bursts stay on the field even after switching.

Once the Main DPS has been selected, it's time to choose one or two Sub-DPS for your team. The role of the Sub-DPS is to set up Elemental Reactions for the Main DPS, they are also the secondary source of damage while the Main DPS is inactive.

It is recommended that Sub-DPS Elemental Skills and Bursts stay on the field even after getting switched out, so that the Main DPS can keep setting up Elemental Reactions.

Choose a Character that can cause an Elemental Reaction with Main DPS

Best way to choose a Sub-DPS is by checking what reactions you can get with the element of the Main DPS.

List of Elemental Reactions

Choose Your Support Character

Role	・Increases survivability of the team with heals and shields. ・Increases overall damage by providing buffs and debuffs.
Features	・Can provide shields and healing with Skills or Bursts. ・Can boost damage of Main DPS. ・Can lower enemies defense or resistance.

Complete your team by filling in the empty slots with a Support character. They will be in charge of keeping your team alive and providing additional buffs or debuffs to make the job of the Main DPS easier.

Activate Elemental Resonance

Elemental Resonance grants additional buffs based on the number of party members of a particular element.

These buffs can help push a party's damage and synergy potentials to even greater heights and should also be considered when selecting the last characters for a party.
