Flickering Fury Guide

Honed Focus and Stage Buff

The buff for Honed Focus in Stage 3 is the same as all the other stages. Plow through horde after horde of enemies once your Honed Will gauge is full, as your active character will deal True DMG to each and every opponent they touch,

This time around, characters who thrive on Elemental Mastery will take center stage. Check you characters' builds, make adjustments if necessary, prepare accordingly, and maximize all your Elemental Reactions!

Flickering Fury Best Characters

Best Team

Flickering Fury Best Team
Yelan	Raiden	Nahida	Baizhu

In this Hyperbloom Team, all eyes will be on Nahida, being one of the best Dendro units in the game who also flourishes magnificently through Elemental Mastery.

Baizhu is also a game changer in this party, providing three things: shields, potent healing, and Elemental Resonance for even more Elemental Mastery! Should the need arise, the Raiden Shogun will be able to keep Elemental Bursts up.

Alternative Team

Flickering Fury Alternative Team
Alhaitham	Xingqiu	Shinobu	Baizhu

An excellent alternative to the first Hyperbloom Team, Alhaitham provides a more intimate approach to eliminating waves of enemies with melee Dendro strikes.

With the Elemental Resonance provided by Baizhu and the stage buff paired together, Alhaitham will be able to deal devastating DMG to any and all opponents in the way!

All-Archon Team

Flickering Fury All-Archon Team
Raiden	Venti	Nahida	Zhongli

All the Archons united will also be able to give an excellent performance in this stage, with two characters working very nicely with Elemental Mastery.

Considering that there are both Hydro and Electro Slimes, Venti's Elemental Burst will easily be able to exploit their elements and keep large crowds in one place. Afterwards, Nahida can help in picking off enemies all at once with her Elemental Skill.

F2P Team

Flickering Fury F2P Team
Kaveh	Collei	Xingqiu	Barbara

Another character that thrives on Elemental Mastery is Kaveh, who specializes in plain Bloom reactions. His AoE capabilities is also an ideal way of keeping large crowds in check, and will deal excellent DMG with the stage's buff.
