Best Mechanici for Stage 5

Icon Mechanicus and Effect
Genshin - Veneficus Mechanicus:Furious DischargeFurious Discharge Used to DMG many enemies at once. Knocks enemies back when paired with a Pyro Tower.
Genshin - Veneficus Mechanicus:InfernoInferno Does massive DMG, especially with upgrades. You'll want to remove the Pyro Towers in the final rounds though.

Best Wondrous Sticks for Stage 5

Type Wondrous Stick Effect
Genshin - Fortune SticksFortune
Genshin - Theater Mechanicus - PyroInferno Upgrades

Genshin - Theater Mechanicus - ElectroFurious Discharge Upgrades

Genshin - Theater Mechanicus - ElectroFurious Discharge: Heavenly Tumult

Get the expensive Electro Upgrades!

We recommend balanced upgrades between Pyro and Electro in the first two waves. For waves three onward, you'll want to upgrade mostly Electro towers. Get the expensive ones, because those will defeat the Ruin Hunters and Ruin Graders easily!

Best Characters for Stage 5

List of Recommended Characters
Wanderer Wanderer Lynette Lynette Heizou Heizou Traveler (Anemo) Traveler (Anemo)
Jean Jean Venti Venti Sucrose Sucrose Xiao Xiao
Sayu Sayu Faruzan Faruzan Kazuha Kazuha Yanfei Yanfei
Lyney Lyney Thoma Thoma Hu Tao Hu Tao Amber Amber
Diluc Diluc Klee Klee Bennett Bennett Xiangling Xiangling
Dehya Dehya Xinyan Xinyan Yoimiya Yoimiya

Why should I use these characters?

You won't need to use characters with the setup above, but having back up Anemo characters for crowd control will help! Pyro characters are also good for triggering Overload when you remove all Pyro Towers in the final rounds.

Tips and Tricks for Stage 5

Video Walkthrough for Stage 5

Here's a video walkthrough of Game8 Japan's run with 0 escapes, and only 12 Mechanici.

Place Mechanici by the Terminus

Like with other two-portal stages, you should place Mechanici where the enemies meet. This means you'll have stronger defenses in one area!
