How to Beat Swordsmanship, Simple and Solid

Best Team for Stage 1

Vaporize Team
Neuvillette	Xiangling	Xilonen	Kazuha
Tartaglia	Xiangling	Bennett	Kazuha
Mualani	Xiangling	Xilonen	Sucrose

The preferred team comp for Stage 1 centers around using the Vaporize Elemental Reaction.

On that note, the stage leans slightly more towards using a Pyro Enabler with a Hydro DPS.

Obtain a High Score of 5000

In order to claim all the rewards, players must reach 5000 points in Swordsmanship, Simple and Solid.

This particular level makes use of the Vaporize Reaction, and encourages players to play around this mechanic, especially with the included trial characters being synergistic to Vaporize.

Bring an Anemo Grouper

All of the opponents in Stage 1 come in groups of three with one medium to large opponents and two small fodder enemies, making swirl a great choice here when it comes to triggering Elemental Reactions and for grouping them up.

Consider bringing an Anemo grouper like Sucrose, Kazuha, or Venti in order to keep enemies locked down in one place, making them easier to kill.

Vaporize with Hydro

Due to the Theme Info being built around Vaporizing your opponents, take advantage of this by Vaporizing Pyro-afflicted units using your Hydro DPS.

While it is possible to do it the other way around and is not a required objective, the Performance Assistance bonuses cater more towards using a Hydro HP-scaling DPS, and benefits them greatly overall and as the Vaporize trigger.

Raise Performance Level

Stage 1's Performance Level effect increases Elemental Mastery, HP, and allows players to toggle an AoE blast called Knightwave on their location when they trigger Vaporize.

When used on Hydro DPS units like Neuvillette and Mualani, these buffs become incredibly helpful in maximizing their damage output, so raise your Performance Level as much as you can.
