Genshin Impact - Battle-Hardened Tent Tortoise Enemy Guide

Battle-Hardened Tent Tortoise is the turtle boss in Stygian Onslaught in Genshin Impact 5.8. See how to beat the Battle-Hardened Tent Tortoise and the best teams to use against it here in this guide!

Best Teams for Battle-Hardened Tent Tortoise

Perma-Freeze Team Comp

Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS Support
Genshin - Skirk Skirk Genshin - Furina Furina Genshin - Shenhe Shenhe Genshin - Escoffier Escoffier
Genshin - Wriothesley Wriothesley Genshin - Yelan Yelan Genshin - Shenhe Shenhe Genshin - Escoffier Escoffier

A perma-freeze team comp is the best team to use against the Battle-Hardened Tent Tortoise with Skirk and Escoffier as the Main DPS and Support in the team, as they can apply consistent Cryo DMG.

Then, pair them up with a great Hydro applicator of Furina or Yelan to apply the Frozen reaction permanently to prevent the turtle boss from activating its Electro shield.

Low-Frequency Team Comp

Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS Support
Genshin - Mualani Mualani Genshin - Mavuika Mavuika Genshin - Candace Candace Genshin - Xilonen Xilonen
Genshin - Navia Navia Genshin - Mavuika Mavuika Genshin - Xilonen Xilonen Genshin - Bennett Bennett

The intended team for the Battle-Hardened Tent Tortoise is a low-frequency team, like Mualani and Navia. The goal is to apply buffs and initial elements, then let your Main DPS nuke the turtle boss with their attacks.

This is also to prevent it from spawning its Electro shield caused by getting hit with high-frequency attacks.

Very High-Frequency Team Comp

Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS Support
Genshin - Alhaitham Alhaitham Genshin - Furina Furina Genshin - Shinobu Shinobu Genshin - Nahida Nahida
Genshin - Arlecchino Arlecchino Genshin - Rosaria Rosaria Genshin - Citlali Citlali Genshin - Bennett Bennett

You could opt to choose a very high frequency team against the Battle-Hardened Tent Tortoise. The goal of this team comp is to consistently apply elemental reactions to the turtle boss so much that its Electro shield does not matter.

However, these team comps need a lot of investment in their builds, such as signature weapons and high-tier artifacts.

Alternatives with 4-Star Characters

Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS Support
Genshin - Skirk Skirk Genshin - Escoffier Escoffier Genshin - Xingqiu Xingqiu Genshin - Dahlia Dahlia
Genshin - Mualani Mualani Genshin - Traveler (Pyro) Traveler (Pyro) Genshin - Candace Candace Genshin - Lan Yan Lan Yan
Genshin - Gaming Gaming Genshin - Sucrose Sucrose Genshin - Bennett Bennett Genshin - Rosaria Rosaria

Here's the alternatives to the 4-stars you can use if you don't have the premium team. Note that Escoffier is non-negotiable for Freeze teams, as she is the only one who can consistently apply Cryo element.

How to Defeat Battle-Hardened Tent Tortoise

Immobilize It Permanently

Applying Frozen Reaction Immobilizes It

Applying frozen reaction can permanently immobilize the Battle-Hardened Tent Tortoise, which is the most effective way to defeat it. This can make it stay in its place and prevent it from doing absolutely anything.

The turtle boss can also be immobilized by using Zhongli's Elemental Burst.

Frozen Reaction Guide

Utilize Low-Frequency But High Damage Attacks

Low-Frequency But High Damage Attacks

Low-frequency attacks are slow usage rate attacks, such as Normal Attack, Charged Attack, Elemental Skill, or Burst, used by characters like Mualani or Navia. This type of attack is the most favored strategy to use for this battle.

The strategy of low-frequency attacks is to immediately burst the turtle boss with one or two attacks and prevent it from triggering its Electro shield, caused by high-frequency attacks.

Use Cryo, Pyro, or Dendro for Electro Shield

Use Cryo, Pyro, or Dendro for Electro Shield

Once it activates its Electro shield, you can use either Cryo, Pyro, or Dendro attacks to break it. After its shield breaks, it will be stunned for a certain amount of time.

Applying Any Attack Triggers its Electro Shield

The Battle-Hardened Tent Tortoise's Electro shield can be triggered after getting hit by a certain number of attacks. This can be monitored by looking at the circle below its HP.
