I'll try anything. That's the only thing I haven't completed. There is nothing else on my list. It just stares at me, taunting. Thanks for the reply. I do have Bennet!

worked together with a friend and used food so that helped a lot. We use Zhongli but I just used that as a starter, any other area damage should work and found out Kazuha helped a lot to deal damage to all characters. Joined by Wriothesely and Bennet for constant attacks. Idk if this helps 🫣
