How to Beat Blazing Thunder

Counter Whopperflowers

Genshin - Counter Whopperflowers
The Elite Enemies or the Powerful Opponents during this challenge are Whopperflowers. Whopperflowers have an attack where they will charge up and then unleash powerful homing shots at your characters. It's best to counter that with Electro before they even have the chance to charge up!

Use Anemo to Spread Reactions

Genshin - Use Anemo to Spread Reactions
Use Kazuha, Venti, or Sucrose to spread the Electro-related reactions and to pull the enemies into a single area! This would make it easier to trigger the needed element and to beat all enemies in one go.
