There is also the option to use a Burgeon, Bloom, or Hyperbloom team in this stage. Avoid Hydro DPS characters as you will be going up against Water Phantasms, which are immune to Hydro attacks.

Trigger Lunar-Bloom with Nefer and Aino

Genshin - Lunar-Bloom for Trial of Valor Stage 2
Nefer and Aino being Trial Characters mean you can readily trigger Lunar-Bloom in this stage, and pairs well with the Radiant Bloom and Full Bloom buffs.

Nefer Rotation

Standard Rotation
Elemental Skill→ 3x Hold Charged Attack → Elemental Skill → 3x Hold Charged Attack → Swap

While her mechanics seem complicated, all you have to know is that there has to be Hydro and Dendro characters creating the Lunar-Bloom reactions in the field, and Nefer uses those cores by holding her Charged Attacks after using her Elemental Skill.

The bulk of her damage is from this Verdant Dew-powered Charged Attack, so make sure the reactions are properly setup first before switching to her!

Use Your Best Hyperbloom or Burgeon Team

Genshin - Bloom or Hyperbloom or Burgeon in Stage 2
If Lunar-Bloom is not to your tastes, you can also choose the Bountiful Harvest buff instead and opt for a Burgeon, Bloom, or Hyperbloom team.

The enemy waves consist of two at a time, so quickswap teams that allow you to consistently apply all needed elements are recommended.
