Genshin - Itto Itto Genshin - Albedo Albedo Genshin - Gorou Gorou Genshin - Zhongli Zhongli

In this challenge, you must attack using Claymores to complete the objectives. Itto is the best character to use here, as he is both a strong DPS Claymore user and can destroy the stone shields faster.

Zhongli's Skill is useful in destroying the enemy's Geo Structures and stone shields. Adding Albedo and Gorou together can help buff Itto's damage!

How to Beat Puissant Calibre

Watch Out for Geo Samachurl Constructs

Genshin - Hidden Strife Day 5 - destroy samachurl towers
Defeat the Geo Samachurls before they can create their tower constructs to save a lot of time. Having a character that can knock them off of their towers or destroy them faster also works well!

Destroy the Geo Shields Quickly

Genshin - Hidden Strife Day 5 - Destroy Shields
To save time, target the Rock Shieldwall Mitachurls' shields with Geo Skills like Zhongli's or Albedo's. There will also be a Stonehide Lawachurl in Dire Straits, so having shield-destroying characters is important.

Use Buffs on Normal Attacks

Genshin - Hidden Strife Day 5 - Normal Attack Buffs
Claymore DPS characters like Diluc, Razor, and Itto have Elemental Bursts that boost their Normal Attack DMG, making them the perfect characters to use in this challenge!

Supports and Sub-DPS that can increase their Normal Attacks while weakening their opponents are great partners for these characters.
