You can run any team in this stage that isn't Spectro, as the Falling Star that Tears Fate Apart token provides a general buff in the gamemode. You can run Negative Status, Echo Skill, or general DPS comps, with Cartethyia, Galbrena, Phrolova, and Augusta teams performing the best.

Stage 10 Respawning Waters Chasm Guide

Stage Information

Stage 10:
Tempest
Environment Report Dealing damage or defeating enemies restores Ember.

The Burning Waves state starts when Ember is full, which lasts for 30s. DMG dealt is increased by 60% in the duration.

Gaze that Drowns in Dream Icon Gaze that Drowns in Dream

For Stage 10, we suggest maximizing The Clock of Doomed Future and the Gaze that Drowns in Dream tokens for the 1st and 2nd halves, respectively. The Clock token works significantly well with Lynae and Mornye as the core team grouped up with any DPS that isn't Havoc or Negative Status-reliant to work.

As for the second half, the Gaze that Drowns in Dream token is tailor-made for Augusta and Iuno's team, although you can use it for Electro or Aero-based compositions.

Stage 11 Respawning Waters Chasm Guide

Seabane Stage Guide

Stage Information

Stage 11:
Seabane
Environment Report Dealing damage or defeating enemies restores Ember.

The Burning Waves state starts when Ember is full, which lasts for 30s. DMG dealt is increased by 60% in the duration.

When hit by a Resonator's skill, enemies in the Mistune state take an instance of Tune Break DMG and then exit the Mistune State.

Similar to Stage 10, a general Tune Break team alongside Augusta and Iuno's Electro-Aero team will perform the best. We suggest avoiding a Glacio-based composition, if possible, as Carlotta and Zhezhi will perform badly on this stage due to the enemies' resistance to the attribute.
