Despair Mode and Normal Mode Best Team

Best Team for Day 3
Imbibitor Lunae	Tingyun	Hanya	Fu Xuan

Imbibitor Lunae is a great DPS character for Day 4 since he can deal both Single-Target and AoE damage. Tingyun and Hany are here to not only there to enhance Imbibitor Lunae, but to also deal with the summons that are weak to either Lightning or Physical Damage.

Fu Xuan is a great choice here as well since she can deal AoE Quantum damage, which can help both with summons weak to Quantum damage and to Yangqing.

Heavenly Blade's Afterimage Best F2P Team in Despair Mode

Despair Mode Best Free-to-Play Team for Day 3
Dr. Ratio	Asta	Yukong	Lynx

Dr. Ratio is a viable F2P unit since Yanqing is vulrenable to Imaginary damage. Asta, Yukong, and Lynx will serve as your F2P units if you don't have other 5-star or 4-star characters that can either apply Buffs or Debuffs (Silver Wolf or Pela).

Heavenly Blade's Afterimage Best F2P Team for Normal Mode

Best Free-to-Play Team for Day 3
Blade	Bronya	Asta	Lynx

Blade and Bronya are Day 3's Trial Characters.

This F2P team focuses on Blade and Bronya as the core DPS as support. Adding Asta as a secondary buffer helps a lot in this time-sensitive game mode while Lynx provides sustain and redirects aggro to Blade, which will help in enabling his Talent.

How to Beat Day 3 Despair Mode

Save Your Ultimates for Later

When Yanqing has his Sword Formation up, he will have Toughness Protection enabled. You will need to get rid of his sword summons first to deal good damage to Yanqing, so it's better to save your Ultimates for later.

Defeat Swords to Transfer its Weakness

Taking down the Flying Swords requires you to inflict Weakness Breaks on them. Upon defeating a sword, its Weakness will be transferred to another sword.

Have Supports Reduce Sword Toughness

Use your Supports to attack the Swords that they're effective against. This will give your DPS an easier time taking down the remaining summons after they defeat the sword they're strong against.

Use Your Strongest Attacks on Yanqing

Once Yanqing's Toughness Protection has been removed, you can go all out on Yanqing with your strongest attacks. Inflict a Weakness Break on him quickly to prevent more summons and delay his turn!
