Best Teams In Slowing Defense

Freeze Teams
Neuvillette	Furina	Citlali	Xilonen
Ayaka	Kokomi	Mona	Kazuha

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 Recommended Stratagems

Defeat Frozen Enemies With HP-Fluctuating Characters

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.

Trigger Gnawing Frost 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.
