Best Teams to Use Against Stellaron Hunter: Sam

Free to Play Team

F2P Team
Serval	Qingque	Yukong	Natasha

For your DPS, bring in Serval and Qingque since Stellaron Hunter: Sam is weak to their elements. To support them, add Yukong to increase their ATK and CRIT. For the team's healer, Natasha is your best option since she can cleanse Stellaron Hunter: Sam's Burn.

Premium DoT Team

Kafka and Black Swan DPS
Kafka	Black Swan	Silver Wolf	Huohuo

Since Stellaron Hunter: Sam is weak to Lightning, Kafka is a viable main DPS against them. If you have Silver Wolf, you can add Black Swan to the team since she shines in DoT-centric teams with Kafka as the DPS

Huohuo's role is to heal her allies, cleanse Stellaron Hunter: Sam's Burn, and regenerate Energy. Huohuo will not mess up Silver Wolf's Weakness Implant since she is also a Wind character like Black Swan.

Seele DPS Team

Seele DPS
Seele	Bronya	Ruan Mei	Fu Xuan

You can run a team where Seele is your sole DPS and bring in Bronya to give Seele additional turns. This pairing allows you to quickly deplete Stellaron Hunter: Sam's Molten Energy, increasing DMG against him and recovering Skill Points.

Again, Ruan Mei can be the second support of the team due to her ability to increase everyone's Break Efficiency. Fu Xuan's role is to tank the damage from Stellaron Hunter: Sam's attacks.

Imbibitor Lunae DPS Team

Imbibitor Lunae DPS
Imbibitor Lunae	Tingyun	Yukong	Luocha

If you want to run an Imaginary team, Imbibitor Lunae is the best DPS to use due to his enhanced Basic ATKs consuming a lot of Skill Points, which will easily deplete Stellaron Hunter: Sam's Molten Energy.

Tingyun and Yukong can be added to the team to increase Imbibitor Lunae's overall DMG. Luocha's role is to passively heal everyone and dispel Stellaron Hunter: Sam's Burn.

How to Beat Stellaron Hunter: Sam

Use Skill Points During Secondary Combustion

In the Secondary Combustion state, Stellaron Hunter: Sam becomes stronger but consumes his HP with every attack. Also, Skill Points become combusted. This means that every time a character uses a Skill Point, they will receive Fire DMG.

However, consuming Skill Points also depletes Stellaron Hunter: Sam's Molten Energy. Once the boss' Molten Energy is depleted, they will take increased DMG and Skill Points will also be recovered for all allies.

Make sure to use Skill Points to attack Stellaron Hunter: Sam every turn during Secondary Combustion to deplete his Molten Energy faster and burst him down once it's out!

Bring Preservation and Abundance Characters

Stellaron Hunter: Sam can inflict Burn with his attacks and during Secondary Combustion, all healing except self-healing is reduced massively. This makes Abundance characters without any cleanse less effective and Preservation characters more valuable.

With this, consider bringing Preservation characters like Gepard or Fu Xuan that can shield or reduce damage taken. Alternatively, you can bring an Abundance character like Huohuo to cleanse Sam's Burn debuffs and heal some of the damage you take.

How to Get Achievements

Make Low HP Characters Use Skills

The first achievement called Ignite My Heart, Inflame My Flesh is easy to get. It requires you to lower a character's health below 5% by making them cast a Skill during Stellaron Hunter: Sam's Secondary Combustion state.

If your character dies after earning the achievement, you can just restart the battle to get the next one!

Use Skills Five Times During Secondary Combustion

When Stellaron Hunter: Sam enters the Secondary Combustion state, attack them five times using Skills before they cast DHGDR - Supernova Overload. You will then get the achievement called Quiet Burning.

The icon marked in the image acts as an indicator as to how many times you still need to attack Stellaron Hunter: Sam for them to exit the state.

For this achievement, we recommend using Imbibitor Lunae if you have him. This is because using Fulgurant Leap counts as consuming three Skill Points!
