Best Mechanici to Use

Icon Mechanicus and Effect
Genshin - Veneficus Mechanicus: Furious DischargeFurious Discharge Doesn't miss when dealing AoE DMG. Can stop fast enemies when paired with a Pyro Tower.
Genshin - Veneficus Mechanicus:Rippling ReflectionsRippling Reflections Good for freezing enemies with a Cryo Tower. Also does decent DMG, but you'll want to replace this by the end.
Genshin - Veneficus Mechanicus:Glacial BloomGlacial Bloom Does Cryo DMG, and is great for slowing down enemies. Very useful for extra DMG from reactions.
Genshin - Veneficus Mechanicus:InfernoInferno Does massive DMG, especially with upgrades. You'll need this to defeat the Lawachurls.

Best Wondrous Sticks to Use

Type Wondrous Stick Effect
Genshin - Fortune SticksFortune
Genshin - Theater Mechanicus - Electro Furious Discharge Upgrades

Genshin - Theater Mechanicus - CryoGlacial Bloom Slow Feature

Genshin - Theater Mechanicus - PyroInferno Upgrades

Genshin - Theater Mechanicus - FortuneMelt Upgrades

Buy Electro and Pyro Upgrades that cost 1,500 Veneficus Sigils

We recommend saving up and buying the more expensive upgrades to make sure you get 0 escapes in this stage! We also highly recommend getting the Cryo Tower upgrade that slows enemies down.

Take note of the Elements of your Enemies

There are Wondrous Sticks that increase your Mechanici's damage against specific elements, such as the Pyro Tower upgrade that increases damage against Geo. Keep the elements you're going to counter in mind while buying Wondrous Sticks!

Best Characters to Use

List of Recommended Characters
Traveler (Anemo) ImageTraveler (Anemo) Jean ImageJean Klee ImageKlee
Sucrose ImageSucrose Yanfei ImageYanfei Kazuha ImageKazuha

Why should I use these characters?

Use pyro characters to help destroy wooden and cryo shields, and if a speedy enemy slips past your defenses, knock them right back into your Mechanici's range!
