Best Concoctions: Part 1

Resilience Concoctions

Part 1 Resilience Concoctions
Stern Hostility	Linchpin opponents' HP will be increased by 150%.
Sustained Aggression	Linchpin opponents' HP will regenerate by 15% for each Normal opponent on the field every 10s.
Rolling Reinforcements	Opposing reinforcements have been deployed. Hilichurl Berserker, Hilichurl Shooter, Pyro Hilichurl Shooter, Cryo Hilichurl Shooter, Dendro Samachurl, and Blazing Axe Mitachurl (Normal opponents) will take the field.
Terrain Constraints	Linchpin opponents can unleash Geo waves that deal DMG to characters hit.

Resilience Concoctions will help you resist negative effects that favor your opponents. At maximum, you can only select two.

The goal of this challenge is to defeat only a certain number of enemies in a short period of time. Therefore, making sure that the opponents don't have much HP to work with will turn the tides dramatically.

We recommend selecting Stern Hostility and Sustained Aggression to negate its effects.

Enhancing Concoctions

Part 2 Enhancing Concoctions
Pressurizing Vortex	When an active character's attack hits an opponent, a Cyclone will be generated at the position hit that will pull nearby opponents in. This effect can be triggered once every 10s.
Lone Warrior	When there are less than 2 opponents near the character, the character's ATK will be increased by 75%.
Major Strike	When a character's attack hits a Linchpin opponent, an extra True DMG instance will be dealt. This effect can be triggered once every 6s.
Inexorable Barrage	When a Normal opponent is defeated, a showckwave will be unleashed at their position and deal DMG to opponents nearby.

Enhancing Concoctions provide buffs to your party to make combat easier. At most, you can only select two.

This challenge's pool of enemies is a mix between crowds of small units and large heavy-hitting units like Ruin Drakes and Graders. Hence, compensating for both should be the priority.

We recommend Pressurizing Vortex for crowd control situations, and Lone Warrior to even out the odds against Linchpin opponents once the crowds have been dealt with.

Concocted Reaction: Part 1 Best Characters

Best Team

Concocted Reaction Part 1 Best Team
Nahida	Raiden	Xingqiu	Zhongli

As far as Elemental Reactions go, Hyperbloom is one of the most effective when it comes to overpowering both large crowds of enemies and large units alike.

Nahida will be your best option for Dendro setup. Her Elemental Skill is also ideal for taking out multiple enemies simultaneously.

For active elemental DMG, Raiden Shogun will be your best bet. With expensive Elemental Bursts like Xingqiu's to build up her Chakra Desiderata quickly, she'll be able to do maximum damage, especially to Linchpin opponents.

Alternative Team

Concocted Reaction Part 1 Alternative Team
Alhaitham	Yelan	Shinobu	Zhongli

Following the pattern, this is the best alternative party composition for setting up Hyperbloom.

Alhaitham boasts huge Dendro DMG with Shinobu and Yelan as the Hyperbloom enablers. Shinobu works wonders as an Electro support, but mostly synergizes with melee units, unlike Raiden Shogun who can synergize with even ranged units.

Additionally, Yelan will be able to bring down the Ruin Grader: Skywatch for easy elimination.

F2P Team

Concocted Reaction Part 1 Best F2P Team
Fischl	Collei	Xingqiu	Traveler (Dendro)

This is the best F2P team in terms of setting up Hyperbloom. A party filled with off-field Elemental DMG dealers will ensure constant triggering of Hyperbloom, with the either Fischl or Dendro Traveler taking the lead as your DPS.

Additionally, Dendro Resonance gives off an additional 80 Elemental Mastery, which will further boost your Hyperbloom DMG.

Concocted Reaction: Part 1 Strategy

Part 1 Enemies

Linchpin Opponents	Ruin Drake - Earthguard Ruin Drake - Skywatch Ruin Grader Ruin Guard
Normal Opponents	Blazing Axe Mitachurl Cryo Hilichurl Shooter Dendro Samachurl Electro Hilichurl Grenadier Electro Hilichurl Shooter Electro Samachurl Hilichurl Hilichurl Berserker Hilichurl Shooter Pyro Hilichurl Shooter

There will be a total of 28 enemies to defeat in 5 minutes. They will spawn by a total of 4 waves, each one with a Linchpin opponent at their center. On that note, it is recommended to take out the Linchpins first before anything else.

The Ruin Guard will be the first Linchpin opponent to spawn, followed by the Ruin Grader, Ruin Drake: Earthguard, and finally the Ruin Drake: Skywatch. After you take them out, pick off the Normal opponents and you should clear the challenge no problem!
