While the Featured character is locked to both stages, other characters alongside the Trial character can only be used once. This means that if you use the trial character from the first half, you won't be able to use it in the second half, and vice-versa.

Kinich Rating and Best Builds

Bring Burning Team For The First Half

Bring any two Pyro characters to create a Burning Team Comp with Kinich and Emilie for the first half, which also compliments the two trial characters as both their overall kits thrive with the burning reactions.

Preferably, you want to bring off-field Sub DPSs, like Mavuika, Xiangling, or Thoma, to pair up with Kinich as he needs to have more screen time than the rest of your team to deal damage.

List of All Pyro Characters

Bring Burgeon Team For The Second Half

For the second half, you need to bring a Hydro character or a Dendro character to form a Burgeon Team Comp with Kinich. You will also need a healer as you can also take damage from the exploding bloom cores.

Recommended characters would be Yelan, Xingqiu, or Furina to further boost your team's overall DMG. For the healer, they could be like Baizhu, Nahida, or Yaoyao.

Blazing Verdance Stage 2 Strategy

How to Obtain 4000 Points

Stage Difficulty Score Multiplier Opponent Level
Normal x1 Lv. 40
Hard x4 Lv. 70
Very Hard x10 Lv. 90
Fearless x20 Lv. 95
Dire x40 Lv. 100

Choose Hard, Very Hard, or Fearless Difficulty

4,000 points can be obtained in Stage 2 by choosing either Hard, Very Hard, or Fearless difficulty, where enemies are fairly easy to defeat.

Hard difficulty is recommended for players who don't have enough or well-built characters yet. In contrast, Very Hard and Fearless difficulty is recommended for players who have a decent amount of characters and multiple team comps.

16,000 Points is Strictly for Well Invested Teams

The 16,000 points can only be achieved in Dire difficulty with a well invested team, having multiple character constellations, signature weapons, and high tier artifacts and builds.

Blazing Verdance First Half Strategy

Break Void Ward with Nightsoul Attacks

Break Void Ward with Nightsoul Attacks

In the first half, you will encounter the Tenerous Mimiflora, which will have a Void Ward shield once it spawns. You can break it easily by using Nightsoul Attacks or a high volume of elemental attacks.

Nightsoul Attacks only come from Natlan characters and Kinich is the best option for this enemy, as he is from Natlan and the trial character for this stage.

Nightsoul's Blessing and Burst Guide

Apply Nightsoul Attacks for Secret Source Automaton

Apply Nightsoul Attacks for Secret Source Automaton

The Secret Source Automaton: Hunter-Seeker can be stunned by hitting it with Nightsoul Attacks. This is a good way to defeat it much faster, as it has a high amount of HP.

Once it absorbs enough Nightsoul Attacks, it will release a powerful attack that can be easily dodged and become immobilized for a short amount of time.

Nightsoul's Blessing and Burst Guide

Use Pyro Attacks Against Eroding Avatar of Lava

Use Pyro Attacks Against Eroding Avatar of Lava

The Eroding Avatar of Lava absorbs Pyro attacks, but they also kill themselves when they absorb too much of it. A good strategy against them is to use Pyro attacks first, then hit them with Dendro to apply a Burning reaction.

This will cause an immense amount of damage to them as they are burning from the Pyro attacks and the Burning reaction at the same time.

Eroding Avatar of Lava Enemy Guide

Blazing Verdance Second Half Strategy

Defeat Wayob's Shield with Nightsoul Attacks

Defeat Wayob

Enemies in the second half are easier to defeat than in the first half, except for the Wayob. It can summon a shield that can be broken easily by Nightsoul Attacks or Elemental Attacks.

However, once it has a shield, it will absorb all of your Elemental Energy. Breaking its shield will get you all of your Elemental Energy back. But if you fail to do so, it will turn it into an Elemental Shield.
