Lightning Round Recommended Characters

Use Electro Characters

Using Electro attacks will charge the Thunder Dwelling up faster! Bring a good passive Electro damage-dealer, like Fischl, to charge the Thunder Dwelling up while in battle.

Use Shield Characters

You're going to take some hits if you stand around the Thunder Dwelling while charging it, so we recommend bringing a good shield character!

Use Anemo Characters

A lot of the challenges will have multiple enemies that can be grouped together, and you'll also want them near the Thunder Dwelling when it explodes. We recommend bringing some Anemo characters with you for crowd control!
