How to Beat Iron Tongue Tian

Defeat Iron Tongue Tian in an Adventure Challenge

Use Elemental Reactions

You can easily deter the damage mitigation mechanic of Iron Tongue Tian's Fatui Pyro Agent and Fatui Skirmisher: Hydrogunner Legionnaire by dishing out Elemental Reactions.

Even with the starting Character Cards, Diluc, Kaeya, and Fischl, you can already make a chain of Melt, Vaporize, and Electro-charged with ease.

Take Out the Fatui Pyro Agent First

Between Iron Tongue Tian's two Character Cards, prioritize taking the Fatui Pyro Agent out first, especially if you have a relatively bad hand.

Its Stealth Master skill is a strong early-phase skill that can take down at least one of your character cards out, making it more difficult building momentum for you to set your Elemental Reactions in the latter phases of the duel.

Take Out Rhodeia First

In this Genius Invokation Duel, Rhodeia should be your top priority since Rhodeia can pretty much deal a huge number of Hydro damage thru her summons. This can also result to Vaporize or Electro-charged reactions thru Oz and Guoba, which you should avoid at all cost.

After taking Rhodeia out, you'll be left with Overload reactions, which you can play around by bringing Calx's Arts to ensure that your Energy-generation is not limited restricted.
