How to Beat Arch-Tempered Sword

Bring Characters that Can Group Enemies

Genshin - Bring Characters that Can Group Enemies
Use Anemo Characters like Sucrose or Kazuha to gather enemies that will spawn all over the arena in groups. This will divide your focus in two so, gather them in a single area! You can also use character like Yelan or Zhongli to deal AoE DMG on them.

Use Opposing Elements on the Lawachurl

Genshin - Use Opposing Elements on the Lawachurl
In Dire Straits, your main priority would be to defeat the minor enemies as fast as possible to focus on Elite Enemies, like the Thunderhelm Lawachurl. To defeat the Lawachurl fast, use opposing Elements to its Electro Shield like Pyro and Cryo!

Avoid Getting Affected by Overloaded Reactions

Genshin - Avoid Getting Affected by Overloaded Reactions
You will be up against Electro and Pyro enemies, if the elements mix, you'll get blasted via an Overloaded reaction. Bring a shield character or a character that can increase your resistance to interruption to avoid getting interrupted as you dish damage!
