How to Get 2000 Points

Use Anemo Characters for Crowd Control

Like the other Hyakunin Ikki stages, rounding up characters in one place will save you a lot of time! Venti is one of the best crowd control characters, but you can use any other Anemo character you have.
List of All Anemo Characters

Use Anemo Characters with Ganyu

Pairing Venti and Ganyu together and spamming their Elemental Bursts lets us clear 3~4 waves of enemies before their combat skills decrease. Again, any Anemo crowd-control character will do!

Switch through your teams frequently

Since your combat abilities decrease when your team stays on the field longer, you have to switch teams. We recommend cycling through your teams as fast as possible, so you can use your most powerful team the most!

Use a burst damage-dealer on the Thunderhelm Lawachurl

The crowd control technique might not be the best on the Thunderhelm Lawachurl, so we recommend using a Shield character with your best DPS, or Ganyu!
