How to Get 2000 Points

Trigger Swirl and Electro Elemental Reactions

In this challenge, using Swirl or Electro Elemental reactions will increase your DMG in the process. Therefore, we recommend that you have Electro and Anemo characters in your party.

Use Anemo for Crowd Control

Like the other Hyakunin Ikki challenges, it involves fighting a lot of smaller enemies. Bring Anemo characters with Crowd Control Elemental Bursts to clump them up in one place then attack.

Attack Ruin Enemy Weak Spots

The Nemeses enemies for this challenge are the Ruin Guard, Ruin Hunter, and Ruin Grader. Attack their weak spots using Bow characters' Aimed Shots to immobilize them for a short period of time.
