Thanks to the stage's Concerto Energy buffs you can easily trigger Camellya's Ephemeral making her team the best one to use for this stage!
For the free-to-play option, we are going to use a mix of Trial Characters and F2P characters here. The Havoc Rover is the best one to use and is supported by Roccia and Shorekeeper, both trial characters.

In this stage, it's important to use a team that utilizes coordinated attacks. Zhezhi, Yinlin, and Mortefi are Resonators you should use in your team as they consistently use coordinated attacks! Verina is also an accesible healer that uses coordinated attacks during her Liberation!
For the trial characters, we opted to use a full team that would go all out with coordinated attacks. Note that Resonators won't be downed in this event, so you can just skip out healers if you don't have the listed premium teams!
| Buff Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Default | All team members' ATK is increased by 50% while in mid-air and they cannot be downed during the challenge. |
| Primary | Performing Mid-air Attack summons a Meteorite, dealing Fusion DMG equal to 300% of the Resonator's ATK. This effect can be triggered once every 3s. |
| Enhanced | All team members' Crit DMG is increased by 10% every second while in mid-air, stacking up to 10 times. |
| Ultimate | The Meteorite explodes on hit, dealing and creating a flaming zone that deals Fusion DMG equal to 380% of the Resonator's ATK. |

For the third stage of the event, a full Jinhsi team with Zhezhi and Shorekeeper is the best one to use! Jinhsi's full combo is 90% in mid-air, so you will trigger the stage effects more consistently!
If you are completely free to play, a trial team is provided for the stage with Carlotta, Zhehzi, and Changli being the best options. All three have mid-air attacks which can trigger the Meteorite. Note that you do not need a healer in this event because Resonators won't be downed as a stage effect.
| Buff Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Default | All team members' Heavy Attack DMG is increased by 50% and they cannot be downed during the challenge. Hitting a target with Heavy Attack recovers 10 Concerto Energy. |
| Primary | Dealing Heavy Attack DMG 2 times increses the Resonator's Crit DMG by 5% (triggered once every 0.1s), stacking up to 20 times. |
| Enhanced | Dealing Heavy Attack DMG 5 times generates an Iceblast (triggered once every 0.1s), dealing Glacio DMG equal to 400% of the Resonator's ATK. |
| Ultimate | The Crit Rate of Heavy Attack is increased by 50%. |

For the fourth stage of the event, a full Jiyan team with Mortefi and Shorekeeper is the best one to use! Jiyan's Resonance Liberation hits all count as Heavy Attack DMG, so you will trigger the stage effects more consistently!
If you just want to trigger the stage effects, you can even go with Roccia and Jiyan since they both deal Heavy Attack DMG consistently. Do note that they don't synergize well and are just paired because of the stage effects.
If you are completely free to play, a trial team is provided for the stage with Jiyan, Calcharo, and Changli being the best options. All have Heavy Attacks weaves in to their combos, so you are sure to trigger Iceblast even if not as consistently as the Premium team.
| Buff Type | Description |

For the fifth stage of the event, any team would work as the stage buffs are all related to Dodge Counters. Just make sure to dodge properly and attack enemies afterwards to maximize the buffs in this stage!
If you are completely free to play, a trial team is provided for the stage with Camellya and Danjin being the core of the characters. You may choose between Xiangli Yao and Carlotta, but we prefer Xiangli Yao because of his capability to hit multiple enemies at once.

For the final stage of the John Wicktorio event, any team would work as the stage buffs requires Resonators to not get hit. Just make sure to dodge properly to maximize the buffs in this stage!
If you are completely free to play, a trial team is provided for the stage with Jiyan, Roccia, and Shorekeeper as the best choices. You may also choose Carlotta as the DPS, but we prefer Jiyan because of his grouping capabilities together with Roccia!
To start the event, you must head to Elga Town and talk to John Wicktorio. Simply teleport to the near Resonance Beacon and talk to the old man with glasses.
You must collect a minimum of 8,000 coins per stage stage to claim the Stage rewards! You can collect coins by defeating waves of enemies in the event. However, you lose coins whenever you get damaged so get ready to dodge!
In this event, you gain more coins the harder the difficulty is! Thanks to this you have the option to change the difficulty of the stages however, remember that you need to defeat the enemies within a time limit so make sure the difficulty matches the level of your team!
The stage buffs will be activated as soon as you defeat the first four waves of the stage! You must do this as soon as possible as they will massively help you kill enemies faster, which in turn would give you a huge amount of coins!
