Most of the fights contain a large number of mobs that are susceptible to teams that contain AoE-capable units, have multiple elements present in the team, and have healing.

Being able to bring crowd control to the table, whether it be via grouping up enemies or freezing them in place can also contribute greatly to the many combat scenarios in this quest.

Reinforce the Hotspot

The main objective for most of the quest is to reinforce the hotspots present around the map, either by eliminating all enemies, clearing out an area, or breaking Abyssal Pylons.

As the other objectives can be completed in any order with the exception of the last 4, the likely sub-objectives will be listed here instead.

Defeat All Opponents

Genshin - Defeat All Opponents

Most of the objectives will be similar to this one, where the player must go around the different battlefields and defeat all opponents present in the area.

Talk to the Courier(s) at the Stadium

Talking to this courier after one of the combat scenarios allows you to gather more intel that unlocks more points of interest for the Traveler to teleport to.

Defeat the Monsters and Destroy the Abyssal Pylon

This is similar to Defeating All Opponents but with the addition of an Abyssal Pylon that needs to be destroyed in order to end the fight.

This objective is reserved specifically for combat scenarios where the Traveler is defending an area, a point of interest, or injured people.
