Best Teams in Stage 3

Swirl Teams are Best to Use

Stage 3 Best Team Comps
Mizuki	Furina	Ororon	Mavuika
Kazuha	Furina	Xiangling	Bennett
Chasca	Furina	Ororon	Bennett
Wanderer	Yelan	Faruzan	Bennett
Xiao	Xianyun	Faruzan	Furina

For Stage 3, Swirl or Rainbow team comps are best to use. This is due to the high increase in Swirl DMG and Elemental Mastery when triggering the said reaction. Characters like Mizuki and Kazuha thrive at this stage.

You can also opt to choose different characters with different elements for your Sub-DPSs and Supports to further enhance the Swirl DMG, boost your overall DMG, and maximize the increase in Elemental Mastery.

How to Beat Floor 15 to 20 in Stage 3

Utilize Swirl Attacks in Every Floor

Given that Swirl DMG is increased by 1200% in this stage is insane, so you have to utilize Anemo characters with a high Swirl DMG and pair them with Sub-DPSs and Supports that provide great elemental application.

Swirl DMG and high Elemental Attacks work great against enemies, such as Ruin Guards, Mitachurls, and Eremites.

List of Anemo Characters

Group Enemies To Kill Them Faster

Some enemies might get pushed away when you attack them with Swirl attacks, so you can use other characters that can group or vacuum them in one place. Luckily, all of the enemies in Stage 3 can be grouped with Swirl.

Floor Skip Recommendations

Avoid Floor 19 due to the beefy Bathysmal Vishap enemies, so jumping from Floor 18 above 12 seconds remaining to skip Floor 19, to then challenge Floor 20 is recommended.

Fix Your Setups Before Starting

If you're using characters like Bennett, Furina, or Xiangling, you could use their elemental skill or burst before starting the challenge or every floor. This is to save time with their animations and you could solely focus on hitting the enemies immediately.

However, you need to know the duration and cooldown of each of their elemental skills and bursts before doing this tactic.

Target to Complete Floor 18

A good tactic for stage 3 is to complete Floor 18 with at least 12 seconds remaining respectively to make you skip to Floor 20. Floor 18 has two Eremites.

This is to avoid and skip other difficult floors to clear, such as Floor 19. Although it is not impossible to clear it, most players may find it difficult due to the high HP of the Bathysmal Vishap enemies for that floor.

The combat is a heavily time-based challenge, but do remember that you can pick up the Energy Regen and HP Recovery buffs at the middle of the event area during combat to further help you beat the timer.
