How to Defeat Liam

Keep a Shield up!

Liam, the Fading Rainbow, specializes on throwing elemental potions that apply certain elements and deal considerable damage to your characters. Having a shielder unit in your team can greatly make this fight manageable.

Wait for Openings

This Local Legend can easily deliver over-aggressive attacks or passive strategies with front loaded and ranged AoE damage capabilities. Be sure to play offensively only after his attack strings come to a stop.

Use the Terrain!

The area where Liam is can be tricky to manuever around, but it does not mean it cannot be used as part of your strategy.

Use the uneven edges and available higher ground to give yourself some distance from his AoE attacks. He can also drown if pushed to the nearby river.

Recommended Team Against Liam

Mono Geo Team

Main DPS	Support	Support	Support
Itto	Zhongli	Albedo	Gorou

One of the best ways to beat Liam is to bring a Mono - Geo team. Itto can deal immense amount of damage while being protected by Zhongli so that Liam's attacks can't interupt Itto's combos.

Albedo is also great addition to bring to further enhance Itto's damage, and offering further utility when Itto's Elemental Burst is on cooldown.

Ganyu Morgana Freeze Team

Main DPS	Support	Support	Support
Ganyu	Mona	Venti	Diona

The classic Morgana Freeze team could work against Liam, as both Mona and Ganyu can taunt to keep the aggression off from the player. Liam can also be Frozen for a period of time, allowing for more aggressive techniques.

Liam Respawn Time

Respawns at Server Reset

Just like most overworld enemies, you will have to wait until the next day for the Liam to respawn. After defeating the enemy, you can fight it again after the next server reset.
