Recommended Party Strategies
Fires of Purification I
For the first level, you'll face Cryo Slimes, Hydro Slimes, Hilichurls, and a Cryo Abyss Mage. Your best bet here is to bring at least two Pyro characters. Constantly switching their Elemental Skills will trigger Melt, making quick work of these enemies. Characters like Klee and Diluc are fantastic due to their wide area-of-effect attacks. Don't forget a healer like Bennett – his Fantastic Voyage not only heals but also deals Pyro damage!
Fires of Purification II
This level gets a bit tougher with Electro Slimes, Large Electro Slimes, Mutant Electro Slimes, and a Fatui Electro Cicin Mage. A good party would include two Pyro characters, one Cryo, and a Hydro healer. The Fatui Electro Cicin Mage is the real threat here; she summons Cicins and casts Thunderbolt, which can quickly overwhelm an unprepared team. Use Cryo skills to break her shield fast, then switch to your Pyro characters to finish her off with Elemental Bursts or Skills.
Fires of Purification III
Good news! You can use the same strategy as Fires of Purification I for this level, as it's all Cryo enemies. Keep those Pyro characters ready to melt them away!
Fires of Purification IV
This one's a challenge with a Hydro Abyss Mage, Hydro Samachurl, and Hydro Slimes. The Hydro Samachurl is particularly annoying because it heals allies, deals constant minor Hydro damage, and can trap you in Hydro Bubbles. Prioritize taking it down first with your strongest single-target damage dealer. Bringing at least two Cryo characters is crucial here; Cryo is strong against Hydro, can freeze them, and is the Hydro Abyss Mage's weakness, making it the quickest way to break its shield.
Fires of Purification V & VI
These higher levels will be updated once more information is available. Keep an eye out!
