Possible Team Comps

Regarding Team Comps

Generally speaking, the natural progression of your teams has to start with Pyro core teams and into Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged core teams.

The most likely strategy is to save most of your Hydro and Electro units for later stages. Assess your lineup to determine which Hydro and Electro unit is best to save.

If playing in Lunar Mode, It's best to save at least two Pyro Unit for the Arcana Boss.

Act 1 - 3

Pyro-core Teams
Pyro Image Pyro Any Any Any
Close Ranged DPS (Boss)
Melee DPS Shield Unit Any Any

During the early stages of the Performance, you would want to use your Pyro characters for this in order to deal with Eroding Avater of Lava and Fluid Avatar of Lava if you encounter them. Even then, most of the enemies you'll encounter here don't have specific weaknesses to any elements.

Against the boss Perpetual Mechanical Array, its best to use a single-target Main DPS in order to quickly deal with the enhanced Ruin Sentinel during its Absolute Defense state, in which the Mechanical Array will enter once its HP reaches 25%.

Act 4 - 6

Electro-Core Teams
Electro Image Electro Any Any Any
Hydro-Core Teams (Boss)
Hydro Image Hydro Electro Image Electro Any Any

Act 6's Emperor of Fire and Iron requires you to bring at least one Hydro in order to deal with its Molten Horn state. Electro-Charged teams are incredibly good here, but not necessarily a sole requirement; Bloom teams are almost as effective.
As long as you have access to a unit that can consistently apply Hydro, the emperor can be dealt with effectively.

Act 4's Monolith Defense specifically benefits from units that have taunt or AoE capabilities. AoE teams like Electro-Charged are particularly amazing in this Act, but choose wisely if you can afford to use such units so early.
Ororon and Lyney's taunt capabilities are appreciated here.

Act 7 - 8

Hydro-Core
Hydro Image Hydro Any Any Any
Electro Charged (Boss)
Electro Image Electro Hydro Image Hydro Any Any

The Act 8's Knuckle Duckle boss fight requires Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged against the Stamping Devices to deplete the boss' shields.

Flins and Ineffa are particularly amazing against this boss, but any teams that can trigger Electro-Charged and provide enough damage would suffice.

For Act 7, there's not much a specific team comp that you can bring here but bring a Hydro-core team in case you encounter the Radiant Bladehorm, which requires a healer to deal with.

Act 9 - 10

Hydro-Core teams
Hydro Image Hydro Any Any Any
Shielder Teams (Boss)

Act 9 features the bounty targets, and Act 10 has the Maguu Kenki, which doesn't have a particular element that its weak to but its best approach the boss with teams that specializes in close combat with shields.

Bring a team that has shielders in it and utilize reactions like Vaporize to expedite the process of defeating it.

Lunar Mode: Arcana Challenges

Electro-Charged
Electro Image Electro Hydro Image Hydro Any Any
Single-target DPS Teams (Boss)

The Arcana Challenges for this season features Shadowy Husk waves and Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress

In this stage, its advisable to utilize Hydro teams to quickly deal with the constant waves of Shadowy Husks, but particularly against the Shadowy Husk: Standard Bearer as it can provide shields to its allies.

Do note for this stage: You need to defeat 17 Shadowy Husks within 5 minutes. Bring a Healer as the stage continuously drain your characters HP.

Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress is the boss for Arcana Challenges. Consistent Pyro DMG is the trick to defeat

All characters, including the opening characters and guest stars, will still be selected at random.

However, here is a list of example team comps for characters to use for each Act's boss fight.

Season 19 Act 1 - 3 Guide

Pre-Boss Priorities (Act 1 - 2)

Checkmark Pick an early main reaction (preferably anything Pyro related) and select Companion events to broaden your lineup.
Checkmark Invest some of your points on Blessings to enhance Pyro-core teams, particularly Vaporize. This is to prepare for Act 6's Boss and also aid you in Act 10.
After Act 3, start Investing on Hydro-related Blessing like Electro-Charge..
Checkmark Save a good Melee DPS with at least 1 Vigor for Act 3.

With the Opening Characters, your priority is to check and see which of these units you plan to bring into the later levels, and consume the energy of the ones more suited for fodder opponents.

With the rest of your currency, you can opt to purchase blessings to enhance your damage right off the bat or later on, as these boons can drastically improve clear times with proper usage.

General Strategy (Act 1 - 2)

Save Some of Your Pyro Units

With this season being based more on Pyro teams, you will want to save someone like Arlecchino or Mavuika when its necessary. However, don't feel bad to use them early if you have to and you can afford it.

Act 3 Climactic Showdown

Genshin - Perpetual Mechanical Array ImagePerpetual Mechanical Array

In Act 3's boss fight, you will face the Perpetual Mechanical Array. It doesn't have particular weakness but generally, single-target DPS shines against the Mechanical Array in order to isolate the enhanced Ruin Machine and leave it vulnerable to attacks.

Defeat the Opponent Within 70s

In order to defeat the Perpetual Mechanical Array in a short time, the boss doesn't have a particular elemental reaction it is weak against but if you can afford it, utilize strong reactions like Vaporize or even Electro-Charged to defeat it within 70s.

Quickly find the enhanced Ruin Machine to leave it vulnerable to attacks,

Season 19 Act 4 - 6 Guide

Pre-Boss Priorities (Act 4 - 5)

Checkmark Spend points on Companion events, inviting most of your Characters (especially Hydro for Act 6).
Checkmark Spend the remainder of your points to get any chosen Blessings. The Hydro/Electro Blessings are amazing for Act 6.
Checkmark Save a Hydro unit with at least 1 Vigor for Act 6.

Upon reaching Act 4, you will have lost a portion of your opening characters and may have one or two uses left for the rest, so start unlocking your more powerful personal units, especially Electro and Hydro units for later stages

Act 4 Strategy

Choose Your Monolith Defense Wisely

Act 4 is the Monolith Defense and since you have access to Electro and Hydro units, bring one with stall potential like Ororon. AoE units like Neuvillette or Electro-Charged teams are also good choices.

Act 5 Strategy

Fodder Units Gain More Value

Act 5 can be argued as one of the last easy fights you will have on the Theater Grounds, which makes using fodder units here more effective as they can spare the energy of a more important unit.

Act 6 Climactic Showdown

Genshin - Emperor of Fire and Iron ImageEmperor of Fire and Iron

The Emperor of Fire and Iron in Act 6 requires you to bring Hydro units to shred its Pyro shield.

Defeat the Opponent Within 80s

Emperor of Fire and Iron generates a Pyro shield immediately upon entering combat. To effectively deplete this, Hydro units are highly valuable against this boss.

If available, Furina and Xingqiu are great against this boss as they consistently apply Hydro.

Season 19 Act 7 - 8 Guide

Pre-Boss Priorities (Act 7 and Act 8)

Checkmark Start unlocking your strongest Hydro characters.
Checkmark Have Electro unit/s ready for Act 8.
Checkmark Upgrade your Blessings to aid you in your reactions.

Around this time, you can start to unlock more of your Hydro units in preparation for Act 10's boss fight. Make sure you have a Electro units available for Act 8.

Act 7 Strategy

You can refresh from the number of events until you get a Combat Event that does not lend any advantages or disadvantages to an Element, allowing you to pick and choose any character so long as they can reliably damage foes.

Also, try to look out for the Mystery Caches to get some of your other units back, so you can have a wider variety of options to choose from when building a team comp.

Act 8 Climactic Showdown

Genshin - Knuckle Duckle ImageKnuckle Duckle

Act 8's Knuckle Duckle requires your team to trigger Electro-Charged against its Stamping Devices.

Defeat the Opponent Within 75s

To effectively deal with this boss, bring a good team composing of Hydro and Electro units to trigger Electro-Charged. Make sure they can deal enough damage to defeat Knuckle Duckle.

Bring units like Ineffa, Aino, and Flins as they can easily shred the stamping devices.

Lunar Mode: Arcana Challenges Guide

Arcana Challenge I

Genshin - Shadowy Husk: Line Breaker ImageShadowy Husk: Line Breaker Genshin - Shadowy Husk: Standard Bearer ImageShadowy Husk: Standard Bearer Genshin - Shadowy Husk: Defender ImageShadowy Husk: Defender

Note: If you're in Lunar Mode, you must do the Arcana Challenges before Act 10 as otherwise it will end the performance.

Arcana Challenge I Strategy

Bring Hydro and Healer Units

For this challenge, waves of Shadowy Husks will constantly spawn. These Husks have no particular elemental requirements against them. However, Shadowy Husk: Standard Bearer provides shields to its allies.

Make sure to bring Hydro units and focus on the Standard Bearer to prevent it from giving its allies Shield. Make use of Electro-Charged or Vaporize as a reaction is amazing against waves of Enemies.

However, do note that you must defeat 17 enemies within 5 minutes and the stage continuously drains your team's HP. It's imperative that you bring a Healer unit as well.

Arcana Challenge II (Boss)

Genshin - Super-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress ImageSuper-Heavy Landrover: Mechanized Fortress

Arcana Challenge II (Boss) Strategy

Bring Pyro Teams

Pyro Units are highly valuable to overheat the Mechanized Fortress, leaving it vulnerable to attacks.

Defeat the Opponent Within 70s

Focus on applying as much Pyro as possible. The Mechanized Fortress will overheat if continuously applied Pyro, and will enter a Cooling state afterwards. Both phases requires Pyro to effectively deal with the boss.

Arlecchino, Xiangling, Durin, and Mavuika are amazing for this stage as they deal tremendous DMG while consistently applying Pyro

Season 19 Act 9 - 10 Guide

Pre-Boss Priorities (Act 9 and Act 10)

Checkmark Leave your best damage dealers for Act 10 and Arcana Challenge.
Checkmark Use Single-target DPS units for Act 9.
Checkmark Spend the remainder of your points on the more beneficial Blessing upgrades or Mystery Caches buffs that increase DPS, especially Pyro-related buffs.

By this point in time, you should have enough energy to use up your last spare DPS units for Act 9's bounty units, and your main Pyro DPS for Act 10's final boss.

If you have the spare currency, you can use them on mystery caches to try and get some units back.

Act 9 Strategy

Focus Down the Bounty Units

Similar to previous seasons, Act 9 requires you to kill certain Bounty units that spawn alongside a never-ending wave of enemies until you complete the challenge.

Single-target DPS units shine here due to their ability to effectively assassinate the one enemy that needs to be taken down in a horde.

Act 10 Climactic Showdown

Genshin - Maguu Kenki ImageMaguu Kenki

The final act boss in act 10 is the Maguu Kenki. The Maguu Kenki has no particular elemental weakness. However, it's advisable to utilize strong reactions to defeat it quickly.

Defeat the Opponent Within 75s

It's highly recommended that you bring out your strongest DPS and make use of reactions like Vaporize or Electro Charged to defeat it.

Mavuika and Arlecchino are particularly great against this boss. Neuvillette can be used as well for Hydro-type teams.
