How to Beat Utmost Deception Domain

Select One, then the Party Rests

After completing one round in the Utmost Deception Domain, you can choose one character to continue fighting through the challenges, while the rest would rest for two rounds. For the party order above, Xiangling is the one who will continue, and she is paired with characters she can aid!

Repeat Party Members

Once those two rounds end, the characters you first used can be added to the party once more for the rounds! You can mix these characters with other characters you own or use the same party again.

Shield Against Heavy Enemies

You will encounter bosses in the Boss Emplacement challenges and those will range from the Maguu Kenki, Primo Geovishap, Perpetual Mechanical Array and perhaps even more! You will also encounter Geovishap enemies there. Bring Shield Characters with you like Diona, Beidou, and Zhongli to avoid getting too much damage from those enemies.

Keep a Full Energy

If you see a heavy-hitting enemy or a hard enemy to deal with in your list of enemies among the three challenges in one round, keep your energy high or even full for that one round. So, you can dish out damage with continuous Elemental Bursts for that one challenge!

Keep in Mind How to Defeat Bosses

Since there will be bosses during the challenges, it's best to keep in mind how to beat all of them to finish the round fast! See a list of bosses and how to beat them here:
