Challenge Rules: Enemies' HP will recover if not attacked for 5s. Successful Dodges or casting Resonance Liberation extends the challenge time. Casting Intro Skill extends the challenge time and deals AoE Aero DMG, while taking damage reduces the challenge time.

The buff for the Animus challenges revolve around Intro Skills, as well as getting more time for Dodging and using Resonance Liberations. To maximize the buff, use a team that has quick rotations for as much Intro Skill usage to deal Aero DMG to enemies.

Finale Location

Challenge I
Challenge II
Challenge III
Challenge Rules: Attacking the enemy while it's Immobilized deals additional Electro DMG. Successful Dodges, Counterattacks, Intro Skill, and Resonance Liberation extend the challenge time, while taking damage reduces the challenge time.

For the final Cindertide challenges, the strategy shifts to focusing on Immobilizing the enemies. They have increased resistances when they are not Immobilized, but take extra Electro DMG if you hit them when they are.

Focus on using Counters to quickly deplete Vibration Strength, then unleash your attacks when the targets are Immobilized for maximum damage. Also remember to Perfect Dodge, and cast both your Intro Skills and Resonance Liberations for more challenge time.

Timed Combat Challenges

Dreams of Cindertide Tooltip

The Dreams of Cindertide stages are timed combat challenges in the Sanguis Plateaus which present players with 3 sets of enemies, accompanied by rules that modify how much time remains in the challenge.

Players need to defeat all enemies within the time limit to obtain rewards. Getting hit will reduce the time limit, so avoid damage and follow the rules to manage your challenge time.
