How to Beat Horns Blaring, Drums Rolling

Surge Mode

Unleash Your Elemental Bursts!

As suggested by this stage's Blade Mirage, Elemental Bursts will be taking the floor. Using characters that excel in the usage of Elemental Bursts will benefit greatly from these buffs!

Steadfast Mode

Use Anemo for Grouping and Swirling

During Steadfast Mode, some of your enemies might start spreading themselves out in the battlefield, which will take up a significant amount of time trying to get to them if they get too far.

Using Anemo to both group enemies into a single spot for easy eradication and to Swirl elements around will be your best bet in completing the challenge in time.

Best Teams for Horns Blaring, Drums Rolling

Hyperbloom Teams

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Raiden	Yelan	Nahida	Baizhu
Alhaitham	Xingqiu	Nahida	Shinobu
Cyno	Venti	Collei	Kokomi

Hyperbloom, as per usual, is a great way to deal several bouts of great DMG to several targets. Taking the Blade Mirage into account, the characters above will benefit greatly from its buff due to their reliance on their Elemental Bursts.

Freeze Teams

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Ayaka	Shenhe	Kazuha	Kokomi
Ganyu	Rosaria	Venti	Kokomi
Ayaka	Xingqiu	Venti	Diona

Freezing opponents in their tracks is another great way of minimizing threats while dealing signifcant DMG to opponents. However, you might want to spread elements around by initiating Swirl to keep it going.

Ayaka and Ganyu's Bursts are exceptional, with high DMG output and good range. Pairing them up with Hydro units that also target enemies in a radius will synergize well with them. Venti and Kazuha will be able to keep the elements scattered about.

National Teams

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Chongyun	Xiangling	Xingqiu	Bennett
Raiden	Xiangling	Xingqiu	Bennett

A classic team for any situation, the National team with minor tweaks can demolish any wave of enemies sent your way.

The Raiden Shogun can be slotted in for additional Elemental Burst support, but for the most part, a team with Bennett, Xingqiu, and Xiangling will be able to deal serious DMG to enemies in a wide radius.

Archon Rainbow Team

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Raiden	Venti	Nahida	Zhongli

Positively one of the most satisfying team compositions is an all-Archon team, with the Raiden Shogun and Venti up front center. The Shogun will be able to keep Venti's Burst up and, in turn, Venti's Burst will make exceptional crowd control!

Zhongli will be able to negate as much DMG as possible and deal sizeable DMG with his Burst in emergency situations, and Nahida will be able to help with eliminating multiple targets all at once!

Anemo Hypercarry Teams

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Xiao	Sucrose	Kazuha	Bennett
Heizou	Venti	Sucrose	Shinobu
Wanderer	Faruzan	Venti	Kokomi

If you're worried about the enemies spreading themselves out and giving you difficulty in reaching them in time, taking Anemo users with you might be in your best interest. Venti and Sucrose in particular excel in gathering enemies to a single spot.

It's also best to bring at least one character with you that uses a different element for additional DMG through Swirl.

Electro-Charged Taser Teams

Main-DPS	Sub-DPS	Sub-DPS	Support
Raiden	Yae Miko	Kazuha	Kokomi
Cyno	Yelan	Sucrose	Shinobu
Raiden	Fischl	Venti	Kokomi

Since you will be dealing with enemies in numbers, arcing Electro with Electro-charged is also a viable option in taking them out simultaneously.

To increase the DMG of this reaction, bringing in Elemental Mastery buffing characters like Sucrose and Kazuha is a good thing to keep in mind.
