Best Teams in Stage 1

Natlan Characters are Best to Use

Stage 1 Best Team Comps
Genshin - Mavuika Icon Mavuika Genshin - Citlali Icon Citlali Genshin - Xilonen Icon Xilonen Genshin - Bennett Icon Bennett
Genshin - Kinich Icon Kinich Genshin - Emilie Icon Emilie Genshin - Traveler (Pyro) Icon Traveler (Pyro) Genshin - Bennett Icon Bennett
Genshin - Mualani Icon Mualani Genshin - Traveler (Pyro) Icon Traveler (Pyro) Genshin - Kazuha Icon Kazuha Genshin - Xilonen Icon Xilonen
Genshin - Chasca Icon Chasca Genshin - Ororon Icon Ororon Genshin - Furina Icon Furina Genshin - Bennett Icon Bennett

For Stage 1, Natlan characters are best to use due to the stage buffs that increase their DMG when using Nightsoul-aligned attacks, especially Mavuika, Kinich, and Pyro Traveler.

Note that Mavuika and Pyro Traveler can be used as sub-DPSs in their respective team comps and Kazuha could switched with either Emilie or Nahida for more consistent off-field elemental application.

How to Beat Floor 15 to 20 in Stage 1

Use Nightsoul Attacks to Increase Your DMG

Utilize Nightsoul attacks to increase your characters' DMG and unleash a shockwave that deals AoE Pyro DMG directly to your opponents. These Nigthsoul attacks are used by Natlan characters and are very effective against the opponents in this stage.

You can also use Nightsoul or Elemental attacks against the Secret Source Automaton: Hunter-Seeker to immobilize and defeat them quickly.

Nightsoul's Blessing and Burst Guide

Prioritize Using Pyro Related Reactions and Attacks

Due to the AoE Pyro DMG, you can prioritize using Pyro-related reactions, such as Vaporize, Melt, or Burning. Using Pyro attacks are also great against the Eroding Avatar of Lava, which absorbs heat and causes them to self-destruct at the same time.

Elemental Reactions Guide and How it Works

Floor Skip Recommendations

Recommended Skips Seconds Remaining
Floor 15 → Floor 19 → Floor 20 Floor 15: +20 Seconds Remaining
Floor 19: Clear under 30
Floor 15 → Floor 17 → Floor 19 → Floor 20 Floor 15: 12~15 Seconds Remaining
Floor 17: +12 Seconds Remaining
Floor 19: Clear under 30

Especially if your DPS is a Pyro character, aim to skip to Floor 19 as there will be Eroding Avatar of Lava which basically kills itself when hit by Pyro attacks.

Avoid Floor 18 as the Iktomisaurus Warriors are either far too apart or too agile to deal with.

Save Energy for Elemental Skill and Burst

Save Energy for Elemental Skill and Burst

Since most of the opponents in this stage requires elemental reactions to quickly defeat them, you need to monitor and save your energy for your Elemental Skill and Burst.

You can also obtain a Energy Regen buff after completing Floor 15, that restores 50% of all your party members' Energy. However, this buff can only be used once.

Always Bring a Healer and Shielder

Always Bring a Healer and Shielder

The enemies' HP and Level increases every time you progress further, making them very dangerous in each floor. That is why it is highly recommended that you always bring a healer and shielder with you.

You could also get a one-time HP Recovery buff after you complete Floor 10. That said, you could also opt to substitute either your healer or shielder for another DPS or Sub-DPS to give you more offensive support to beat the timer.

I have ororon and Mave and it still can't kill 2 ruin guards faster. That stage floor feels too nerfed!

this event is seriously so annoying, the time limit doesn't even let most teams do 2 rotations, the enemies have that ridiculous 3 second spawn in which means you need to recast your ults, and the enemies can't even stay in one spot and you have to hope your opps don't jump to the other side of the arena! really bad event design...
