The objective for this stage is to trigger Hyperbloom or Burgeon reactions 50 times to get the maximum buffs available for the second half. As Raiden and Yaoyao are your trial characters, you will need a very strong Hydro character like Xingqiu or Yelan to create the Bloom cores on the non-Hydro immune enemies.

Hyperbloom-Burgeon teams can also technically work together, although you will need an extremely strong source of Dendro from characters like Nahida or Alhaitham to keep the reaction up. Do note that normal Hyperbloom without Burgeons are more reliable as it doesn't have the caveat of accidentally Burning the enemy.

Keep Up the Bloom Reactions on the Enemies

Make sure to make the most of the cooldowns of your off-field units especially those who apply the necessary elements to create the Bloom cores. Keep the enemies close together so that characters like Xingqiu can hit all Shrooms with Hydro, then use either Pyro or Electro attacks to trigger these cores.

On some waves, Hydro Slimes and Tainted Hydro Phantasms will spawn, who are naturally affected by Hydro. On such enemies, you'll only need to apply Dendro then an Electro or Pyro to trigger the necessary reactions.

With that, teams like Hyperbloom, Burning, and Bloom are extremely effective here due to the abundance of Dendro damage present in these teams.

Defeat as Many Opponents as Possible

In the Canticle of Crowns, you must defeat as many opponents as possible to rack up the required amount of points to completely pass the challenge, with 5,000 points needed for Gold, and 12,500 points needed for Platinum.

Use Swirl to Reduce Enemy DEF

Genshin - Trial of Blossoms, Song of the Chilling Wind Canticle of Crowns

If you've unlocked the buffs for triggering Swirl on the enemy, it will reduce their DEF by 50%, which is a massive gain for your Hydro or Cryo DPS. Along with the CRIT buffs to Hydro and Cryo, as long as you can keep up the Swirl uptime from an off-field Anemo you can defeat enemies with ease.

Focus on AoE

As enemies spawn in trios and multiple groups, especially the Hilichurl and Slime enemies, teams centered on AoE performs best to defeat these enemies as fast possible.
