Triggering Frozen will yield more Aegis for you and grant you a Crit DMG buff.

Skirk and Xingqiu are trial characters for this stage. Use Xingqiu's Elemental Skill and Burst before switching to Skirk's Elemental Skill. Do not forget to also use Skirk's Elemental Burst during her Elemental Skill to absorb the rifts, enhancing your damage further.

Do note that when it comes to Skirk's team building, you must only have Hydro and Cryo characters to make use of her full potential. If possible, Furina and Escoffier are ideal for this spots. However, characters like Candace and Layla should be enough for the stage.

This stage prefers Natlan characters to go against the Mimiflora who requires Nightsoul-Aligned DMG to deal with effectively, with Chasca and Ororon being free to use. It is ideal that you one or more Pyro, Cryo, Electro, or Hydro characters that can synergize well off-field with Chasca.

Genshin - Flins ImageGenshin - Aino ImageGenshin - Fischl ImageGenshin - Jahoda Image

This stage is all about triggering Lunar-Charged only, with Wild Hunt enemies necessitating you to bring Nod-Krai characters. As Flins is a trial character, pairing him with a Lunar Hydro applicator like Aino and Columbina already makes up the team. His premium team also has Ineffa and Sucrose to buff the team up, but if you don't have his premium team, you can use Fischl and Jahoda as F2P choices.

When using the trial characters, set up Aino's Elemental Skill to Burst to apply Hydro off-field, then switch to Flins. Flins rotations is as follows:
