Tips
  • Collect three Anemo particles on the floor and use an Anemo Skill to create an updraft, enabling multiple Plunging Attacks.
  • For the Premium Team (Ganyu, Qiqi, Xiao, Zhongli), focus on charging Xiao's Burst Gauge and using his Elemental Burst for crowd control. Zhongli's shield and pillar can be used for damage negation and plunging attack opportunities. Ganyu's Elemental Skill can taunt enemies, and Qiqi provides healing.
  • For the Free to Play Team (Bennett, Chongyun, Traveler (Anemo), Noelle), start with Noelle's shield. Use Traveler (Anemo) with Anemo particles to create updrafts for Plunging Attacks. Combine Chongyun's Cryo with Bennett's Pyro for Melt reactions. Alternate Plunging Attacks with Melt combos and use Elemental Bursts off cooldown.
  • Ensure characters are at a high level (around 85) with upgraded weapons, especially for the Extreme difficulty.
  • Normal: 60 Primogems
  • Hard: 30,000 Mora, 2 Primogems
  • Extreme: 30,000 Mora, 3 Primogems
