Run Geo Units to Break and Create Shields

Geo units who primarily focus on Elemental Skills, and can create Crystallize easily even off-field, are best for this stage, namely Navia, Chiori, Albedo, and Kachina. There will also be Geo-shielded enemies, which can be dealt with by Geo or Claymore characters.

The Banishin Aura buff is strong enough that the DMG from it bypasses the shields the Praetorian Golem gets, so abuse it as much as you can!

Pyro units that can spam Charged Attacks and apply Pyro are the best bet for this challenge, as they can quickly activate the Banishing Aura. These are namely Arlecchino, Hu Tao, Klee, and Yanfei.

Yanfei is highly recommended here as she meets both requirements and is an accessible option to activate the Banishing Aura, which can result in you getting higher points.
