The best team for Day 2 consists of the Trial Characters available for the stage. Jingliu and Blade will be your DPS characters while Bronya and Luocha provide support through DMG buffs and healing.

Use Bronya's Skill only on Jingliu since Blade can unleash his follow-up attacks by taking DMG from enemies and Jingliu's Enhanced Skill.

Best Support Functions for Day 2

Support Function Buff Effect
Honkai Star Rail - Tides of War - Desperate Counter Desperate Counter Grit Phase 2 (Option)
Restores a minor amount of HP after losing HP and all allies' SPD increases.
Honkai Star Rail - Tides of War - Struggle Booster Struggle Booster Grit Phase 3 (Option)
Increases the DMG dealt by Basic ATKs and Skills.

We recommend using the Desperate Counter and Struggle Booster Support functions to increase your party's SPD and increase Jingliu and Blade's Enhanced Basic ATK and Skill DMG.

How to Beat Perilous Threshold

Focus Your Attacks on the Bosses

Star Rail - Tides of War Stage 2 - Focus on Bosses

All attacks should mainly be directed to the bosses. Normal enemies on the field can easily be taken out via AoE DMG.

Reach Argenti During the Third Cycle

Star Rail - Tides of War Stage 2 - Argenti Boss Fight

Based on our test runs, you should be fighting Argenti during the 3rd cycle to perfect Day 2. If you fail to beat Argenti, just try again.

Use Jingliu's Ultimate During Enhanced State

Star Rail - Tides of War Stage 2 - Jingliu Enhanced State

Only unleash Jingliu's Ultimate when she has her Enhanced State activated to increase her Syzygy stacks and use more Enhanced Skills.

Consume HP to Reach Grit Phase 4

Star Rail - Tides of War Stage 2 - Consume HP to collect Grit Value

Use Jingliu and Blade's Skills and Enhanced ATKs to consume the party's HP and quickly build up Grit Value. HP consumption will easily open up Grit Phase 4.

Collect Bellow Stacks in Grit Phase 4

Star Rail - Tides of War Stage 2 - Get Bellow Stacks through Healing and HP consumption

During Grit Phase 4, accumulate Bellow stacks by consuming your own HP through attacks or having a party member provide healing. This will allow you to deal considerable amount of DMG as long as Grit Phase 4 is activated.
