How to Upgrade Mechanicus

Use Wondrous Sticks

The only way to upgrade your Mechanicus is by drawing Wondrous Sticks. Your Mechanici are always at level 1 when you begin the stage, but will level up depending on the Wondrous Sticks you draw.

Previous Method of Upgrading

Inazuma's method of upgrading Mechanici is different from the event's run in Liyue, where you could manually choose and upgrade Mechanicus outside of a stage.

List of the Best Mechanici

Recommended Mechanici

The Mechanici not mentioned here are also useful, but you can achieve the elemental effects with characters instead of towers.

Since you cannot directly damage opponents with your characters, you will need damage-dealing mechanici to defeat all the opponents!

Hydro and Cryo Combo

Genshin - Mechanicus - Frozen

Hydro and Cryo Mechanici go hand in hand together as they can help you Freeze enemies in place before they can reach the end. This allows ranged Mechanici to attack them without missing their shots.

Hydro and Electro Combo

Genshin - Mechanicus - Electro-charged

Hydro and Electro Mechanici help in dealing Electro-Charged to enemies, which make doing AoE damage to a group of enemies a lot easier to do. They can also stop some enemies in their tracks when they manage to get a hit.

Pyro Mechanicus

Genshin - Mechanicus - Pyro Mechanicus

The Pyro Mechanicus can deal a lot of DMG to enemies when it manages to hit. The drawback is that they have a hard time hitting faster enemies, so Freeze or Electro-charge your enemies to keep them in place for the Pyro Mechanicus to attack them.
