Stage 1 - Reached Flameless State

Base Aura	Flameless: Gain a buff when off-field characters deal Pyro DMG. When off-field characters deal Pyro DMG to enemies, the party gains 250% points for 4s.

This effect can be triggered once every 2s.

Best Battle Soul Buffs	Enduring Spirit: Tempest (Swirl Reaction)	Blazing Valor: Sharp Edge (Normal Attack)

In this AoE-favored fight, use Venti as an on-field DPS while his Elemental Burst is active. Note that his Anemo Infusion only works if there's another Hexerei character, on which you can use the off-field Pyro applicator, Durin. The mode also unlocks the Hexerei talent for both Trial Characters. If you haven't done the Hexerei quests yet, we recommend completing them if you own Venti!

The buffs for Swirl and Normal Attacks specifically favor this team comp alongside Venti's buffers, Faruzan and Bennett.

Best Battle Soul Buffs	Radiant Bloom (Lunar-Bloom Reaction)	Full Bloom (Lunar-Bloom Reaction)

Lunar-Bloom is the highly suggested reaction for this stage, with Nefer as the main DPS supported by Aino and off-field Dendro supports such as Lauma and Nahida.

Hyperbloom, Bloom, and Burgeon teams are also supported by Stage 2's Base Aura, allowing for more team comp options. Note that you will need to apply all elements consistently, and should opt for quickswap teams and off-field applicators.

Arlecchino as a Trial Character is very flexible and can fit on multiple team comps and Battle Soul buffs for Bond of Life, Normal Attacks, and all Pyro-Related Reactions especially Overloaded with Chevreuse and Durin, or Vaporize and Melt. Depending on your team comp, adjust your buffs accordingly!

Stage 4 - The Victory of the Thundercloud!

Base Aura	Raging Thunder: Gain a buff when characters trigger Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged reactions. When a character triggers Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged reactions, the party gains 250% points for 8s.

This effect can be triggered once every 3s.

Enemies
Best Battle Soul Buffs	Rapid Thunder (Lunar-Charged Reaction)	Storm Strike (Lunar-Charged Reaction)

Like the stage's name suggests, this stage is all about triggering Lunar-Charged to defeat Wild Hunt enemies with Flins as your Trial Character. If you need consistent Hydro application or you don't have enough Energy Recharge for Aino, you can use other alternatives like Furina or Yelan.

While you can also use the regular Electro-Charged reaction, the Wild Hunt enemies are weaker when hit by Lunar Reactions, and Lunar-Charged Battle Soul buffs offers more points.

You must choose the appropriate character who can activate these buffs. Usually, they give that specific Trial Character for you!

There are also different Battle Souls that you can choose from that give additional points when you meet their conditions! It entirely depends on the team you're building, but make sure it synergizes well with the Base Aura conditions!
