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.

Mavuika Rating and Best Builds

Xilonen and Bennett for Mavuika

As you are not able to put the same characters on both halves, if you have Xilonen and Bennett, you may opt to separate them for either halves as they are Mavuika, Navia, and Citlali's best partners for either team archetypes.

If you wish to run them both in the same team, bring them on the Second Half with Citlali as the three of them are considered Mavuika's overall best team comp for this event.

Bring Double-Pyro and Geo Teams For First Half

As there will be many shielded Cryo and Geo enemies, we recommend running double-Pyro and Geo teams for Mavuika and Navia.

For the first half, bring another Pyro Sub-DPS or support character like Bennett or Pyro Traveler to satisfy the full conditions of the Stage Buffs, which gives CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. The last member alongside Navia can be either a Geo support like Xilonen or another off-field DPS like Chiori or Albedo.

Bring Melt Teams for Second Half

The best melt teams are already covered with Mavuika and Citlali being the featured trial characters, so depending on your other available characters, you are free to cover the final two slots with other Cryo, Pyro, or GEo supports who provide more off-field application like Rosaria, Diona, or even Dehya and Kachina.

If Bennett and Xilonen are still available for this half, we recommend running them here.

Snowrending Sun Stage 6 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

The 4,000 points can be obtained in Stage 6 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, while the 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.

This challenge is usually for players who want to test or flex their damage against the games' toughest opponents.

Snowrending Sun First Half Strategy

Break the Cryo Lawachurl's Shield with Pyro and Blunt Attacks

The Cryo Lawachurl is tanky and dangerous with its Cryo shield. We recommend breaking the shield with multiple off-field abilities from Mavuika and Navia's Elemental Burst, and other off-field abilties from characters like Chiori and Pyro Traveler to be able to defeat it with ease.

As Pyro, Geo, and Claymore attacks are best for such shields, do your best rotating each of their abilities as fast as possible.

Hydro Phantasms Give Ammo to Navia and Consistent Vaporize with Mavuika

For the next wave, the Hydro Phantasms give a reliable source of ammo for Navia's bullets due to them being permanently affected by Hydro. In addition, quickswapping to Mavuika would also trigger big Vaporize damage as well, so take advantage of this to get more points!

If you're not too keen on getting more than 4000 points, you may focus on reaching this point instead of dealing with the succeeding Wayobs.

Snowrending Sun Second Half Strategy

Cryo Wayob Manifestation as your First Enemy

As this half may be the toughest due to the stage starting with zero energy with the Cryo Wayob Manifestation right off the bat, we recommend lowering your difficulty or aiming 4000 on the first half if you're having an issue defeating it due to the bad starting conditions.

If you haven't reached 4000, make sure to cycle consistent off-field application from Citlali and your supports first, then Melt with Mavuika. You can also wait your abilities until the Wayob creates their white shield, then apply as much Elemental Application as possible as destroying it (before it turns to Cryo shield) will refund all your team's energy!
