For all the difficulties in Stygian Onslaught, it's best to take advantage of the Battlefield boss mechanic when going against them.

In Battlefield 1, you can bring a Melt or a Hyperbloom party, although note that you will want at least one Cryo unit to one-shot the mini-tulpas and prevent the Hydro Tulpa from regenerating HP.
When attempting Co-Op in the higher difficulties such as Menacing and Fearless, it's better to bring your strongest, non-Hydro DPS and a shielder for the team, along with the Cryo unit for the mini-tulpa.

For Battlefield 2, both solo and Co-Op have Burning reactions as the best choice to provide the highest Pyro application currently possible and stun the Lava Dragon Statue consistently. Overloaded is also a good strategy against this boss.

In Battlefield 3, consistent Cryo applications are required to force the Automaton boss to lower all of its RES defenses. Having at least one Hydro applicator and creating a Freeze team is the best strategy against this boss.

4-Player Co-Op Highly Recommended
The Menacing and Fearless Difficulties have a shorter time limit with stronger boss enemies, so it's highly recommended to challenge them in Co-Op if you wish to conquer these difficulties!

Complete 3 Time-Limited Battles
During the challenge, you must go to three separate Battlefields and fight time-limited battles. When all opponents in the three battlefields have been defeated, the challenge is considered complete for this difficulty level.
The higher the Difficulty, the stronger the enemies become. Each Difficulty also has mechanics that will make the battle more difficult for players.
Select From Six Difficulties

| 1 - Normal | Unlocked from the start Rewards from Solo/Co-Op Random Match Co-Op Available |
| 2 - Advancing | Unlocked from the start Rewards from Solo/Co-Op Random Match Co-Op Available |

Stygian Onslaught has up to 6 Difficulty Levels available. However, Difficulty Level 4 and above requires completing the challenge on the Difficulty Level below it.
You can still complete Fearless difficulty in Co-Op mode, but you cannot collect rewards for it.
Dire Difficulty Level 6 Rewards Only in Single Player
Dire Difficulty Level 6 also requires players to complete Difficulty Level 5 in Single Player Mode. Similarly, the rewards for Difficulty 6 can only be claimed by doing it in Single Player.
Challenge in Co-Op
If you are having a hard time completing the challenge alone, you can also invite teammates and clear the stages in Co-Op to acquire most of the rewards together!
Note that you cannot collect rewards for clearing Level 5 and Level 6 Difficulty in Co-Op.
Give Buffs to Characters as Exalted Ones
When characters are used by other players to clear Dire Difficulty Level 6, they become Exalted Ones. In Difficulty Level 5 and below, Exalted Ones gain Eminent Boon and receives additional buffs when added to the party.
Exalted Ones Refresh Every Day
There can be a total of 16 Exalted Ones at any point in the challenge. Exalted ones are revealed two hours after the Stygian Onslaught event starts, and will refresh every day at 04:00 AM (Server Time) for the duration of the event.
Choose Artifact Rewards
Players can choose the Artifact Sets they wish to receive as a reward for completing the Stygian Onslaught challenges through the Reward Settings!
Obtain Artifact Rewards During Disturbance Outbreak
For the first 10 days of the event, Travelers can obtain extra artifact rewards by using any kind of Resin after clearing any stage at Difficulty Level 3 or higher.
This is known as the Disturbance Outbreak state and will always refresh whenever Stygian Onslaught resets.

Comment
What is the point of limiting time for "Disturbance Outbreak State". Just give already a place where players can farm in one place. Like everything in Genshin - a solid concept, yet somewhat flawed in many aspects to the point that it stops feeling good anymore.
