Stage 4's available stratagems and the fixed Variation Stratagem focus on the Freeze reaction, specifically amplifying your characters attacks when the opponents are Frozen.
As Furina and Citlali are free, pick any Hydro or Cryo on-fielder who can trigger Frozen with these characters. You may also want to mix in a Pyro character to trigger Melt when the opponents are Frozen!
| Freeze Team Secret Stratagems |
|---|
| Stratagem of Variation: Gnawing Frost Stratagem of Engagement: Frigid Congealment Stratagem of Engagement: Fierce Combat Stratagem of Assault: Desperate Impasse OR Full Preparation Stratagem of Assault: Tenacious Fortification Stratagem of Deployment: Bold Advance |
The stratagems in this level benefit Freeze teams that have erratic HP gains and losses, Shielders, as this results in the maximum amount of point multipliers being activated.
While fighting opponents, make sure that the enemy you are about to kill is Frozen in order to trigger Gnawing Frost's bonus as much as possible.
The Gnawing Frost strategem requires you to defeat enemies when they are affected by Frozen, so try to cycle through Furina and Citlali's Elemental Skills first to apply the reaction off-field.
As Furina can be slotted in this team, you may use either of the HP fluctating stratagems depending on how strong your healer is.

If you have your own copy of these units however, feel free to use them as your own units may be better built than their trial variants!
