Jami, the Amurta researcher who earlier developed the marvelous Fayz Potion, has once again encountered trouble. As such, he has adopted more efficient enhancement measures and is waiting for the right person to help verify his work...

Gameplay Overview

Event Gameplay Duration:
➥ 2024/03/22 10:00:00 – 2024/04/03 03:59:59

Eligibility:
➥ Adventure Rank 20 or above
➥ Complete Archon Quest Prologue: Act III “Song of the Dragon and Freedom"

Event Overview:
➥ You can challenge the first 2 stages starting from the first day of this event. There are a total of 8 stages and a new stage will be unlocked each day.
➥ During the event, after entering the Fayz Discursive Facility and starting the challenge, if you stop moving or using skills, you will automatically enter the Time Dilation state. At this time, you can rotate the camera freely and take pictures of your character. After conducting any movement or trying to use a Skill, you will cause time to flow normally again.
➥ During the challenge, Fayz Force will accumulate over time. You can also obtain it by defeating opponents. Once Fayz Force reaches a certain level, after you use certain skills, you can take advantage of the Critical Moment to enter a Time Dilation state in which Supersense Particles will appear on the field. Adjust your camera angle such that your character blocks the Particles from view to collect them and use your Supersense Skill, and also obtain a random Fayz Furtherance.

Gameplay Tutorial

After entering the Fayz Discursive Facility and starting the challenge, if you cease movement or stop using skills, you will automatically enter the Time Dilation state. After conducting any movement or trying to use a skill, time will flow normally again.

During combat, you will accumulate Fayz Force over time. You will also obtain it from defeating opponents. Once Fayz Force hits a certain value and you have stopped all actions after unleashing certain skills, Supersence Particles will appear on the field.

Adjust your camera angle such that your character blocks the Particles from view to collect them and consume Fayz Force to use your Supersense Skill, and also obtain a random Fayz Furtherance. The maximum amount of Fayz Force that can be accumulated is sufficient to use the Supersense Skill 3 times. If you do not use a Supersense Skill for 50s, the DMG you deal will decrease precipitously.

Focus Foes will appear at intervals during the challenge. Focus Foes will become normal opponents after some time, but defeating Foces Foes will grant more Fayz Force.

Menacing Projectiles and Energizing Projectiles will appear at intervals during the challenge. You will take DMG if hit by Menacing Projectiles, while Energizing Projectiles will grant you Fayz Force and increase your Verification Score.

TLDR Tutorial

1) Defeat enemies to get Fayz Force (It's the golden bottle icon on the left). Once you get at least 1 Fayz Force, use Elemental Skill/Burst (methods differ on different stages, READ them before you start) and stop moving to enter Time Dilation mode.

2) Inside the Time Dilation mode, you will see Supersense Particles. Move your Kamera so the particles will be inside the frame shot (can be seen by the frame glowing yellow). These Supersense Particles will let you use Supersense Skill.
Important: If you didn't move for a time, you will also enter Time Dilation mode, but that will NOT create any Supersense Particles.

3) Use your Supersense Skill whenever you want, but make sure to use it every >50 seconds or your damage will be reduced a lot. Each stage will provide a different method to trigger Particles Supersense Skill, so spend a few seconds reading them first.

The last floor is here with lots of bosses as opponents! There are a lot of bosses in 4.5 Abyss and some mobs for you to face. Continue reading this guide for the full analysis of Floor 12 in the Spiral Abyss.

Blessing of the Abyssal Moon

Reminder: Blessing of the Abyssal Moon will change every refresh cycle and may not be updated here. But the enemies list and strategy will remain the same.

When characters create Geo Constructs, a shockwave is unleashed at the character's location, dealing True DMG to nearby opponents. Such a shockwave can only be unleashed once every 6s.

Team Recommendations

Ley Line Disorder:
For this floor only, the Let Line flow will be normal.

General Tips:
If the floor is too hard for you, don’t forget that changing teams is an option. Although you need to start from Chamber 1, at least you don’t have to worry about stars for the Chamber you already completed.

• In the First Half, there are quite a lot of mobs here with the exception of chamber 3. So both AoE and single-target DPS are good here. But, I recommend bringing a single-target DPS with an Anemo CC. In terms of elements, most elements are good except:
  • Cryo because Coppelia in the 3rd chamber has high Cryo RES.
  • Physical because the Black Serpent Knight in the 2nd chamber has high Physical RES.
• Aside from the mentioned elements above, try not to bring a shielder but a healer instead. This is because the Black Serpent enemies in the 2nd chamber can get a buff if they attack shielded characters. Yes, those buffs are at the cost of reducing their health, but it's not worth fighting their buff states. For example:
  • Crystallize Team: Navia + Chiori/Albedo + Bennett + Xiangling
  • Hypercarry Team: Neuvillette + Furina + Jean/Baizhu + Kazuha
  • Hyperbloom Team: Neuvillette + Nahida + Yae Miko + Baizhu
  • Freeze Team: Neuvillette + Furina + Kazuha + Charlotte
  • National Team: Tartaglia/Raiden + Bennett + Xiangling + Kazuha

• In the Second Half, all of your enemies are a single boss on each floor so I highly recommend using a single-target DPS. Some of the not recommended elements are:
  • Dendro is not recommended here because Jadeplume boss in chamber 1 has high resistance to it.
  • Physical because the PMA in chamber 2 has high resistance to Physical damage.
  • Freeze reaction because all bosses can't be frozen.
• Now that we'd gotten over the not-recommended elements, time for the recommended one. It's Geo. The only reason is because I think that's the best one to bring when facing the Local Legend Meka in the last chamber Since it has a Geo shield, you can use Geo attacks to destroy that. Of course, it's not only Geo, other Blunt attacks can also be used like claymore attacks, and plunging attacks (except bow and catalyst). If you bring a claymore character to the party, all elements except Dendro and Physical are good for this half. For example:
  • Aggravate Team: Tighnari + Yae Miko + Nahida + Zhongli
  • Crystallize Team: Navia + Chiori/Albedo + Bennett + Xiangling
  • Hypercarry Team: Wanderer/Xiao + Faruzan + Bennett + Zhongli
  • Hyperbloom Team: Alhaitham + Xingqiu + Kuki Shinobu + Nahida
  • Hypercarry Team: Itto + Chiori + Gorou + Zhongli

Floor 12 Chamber 1

First Half

1st Wave: Pyro Abyss Mage & 2 Large Overgrown Breacher Primus
2nd Wave: Veteran Frost Operative & Wind Operative

Smoldering Flames Aura: Deals continuous Pyro DMG to the active character while the debuff is active.

• In the first wave, all enemies spawn in the front area. Between all the enemies, the priority would be:
  • Destroying the Pyro shield that the Mage has first.
  • Then, whenever the Dendro Primus enter a stressed state, they will gain a Dendro shield and fire waves of Lushmissiles at the player, each missile dealing quite a huge Dendro DMG. When they have this shield, it's highly recommended to remove that shield ASAP so your characters won't die (unless they have a Zhongli-level shield).
  • The best way to remove that shield is: (1) A single Arkhe attack, (2) using Electro attacks, (3) using Hydro attacks, or (4) using Pyro attacks.
• These Primus have high Dendro RES so beware of that when you bring Dendro DPS here. Now after all enemies don't have any shield or some sort, focus on defeating all of them at the same time.

• In the second wave, the Operatives spawn at the front area. Go to the Wind Operative on your left rather than the Frost one. This is because the Frost Operative often uses Blinkchase skill (not an official name) that will let her thrust forward in your direction. This way, you can gather both of them at the same spot. Wind Operative also has a teleport skill but she doesn't use it much often. It's all up to RNG, I suppose.

• You need to keep watch of their attack and make sure you avoid their Hunt Down skill because it will attach a Bond of Life to the characters they hit.
  • When using the skill, the Operative will sacrifice 5% of her Max HP (or 25% of current HP if HP percentage is under 20%) to initiate Hunt Down: Locks onto the player (can be seen by the red arrow on top of you).
  • If the player is hit by this attack, they will receive a Life Bond equal to 16% of the Operative's ATK. As long as this Life Bond is active, they will also be affected by a Corrosion status which drains 0.4% Max HP + 72 every second.
  • If the Hunt Down attack hits a character affected by this Life Bond, it will deal 250% of its original DMG.
  • This Life Bond is stackable.
  • This Life Bond lasts for 10 minutes if not cleared.

• Bond of Life will absorb the healing effects that a character receives. This will prevent them from recovering HP. After this character is healed for an amount equal to the Bond of Life, the Bond can then be cleared. When a character is granted another Bond of Life, the healing required to clear the Bond of Life will also stack. It's best if you have a cleanser like Jean or Bennett to remove those debuffs immediately and heal your characters.
• The problem is not only your characters will have a hard time healing, but the second time the same character gets hit with another Hunt Down skill, it will deal more DMG to said character. Since there are 2 Operatives here, it's important to watch both of them so they can't stack the Bond of Life.

Second Half

1st Wave: Jadeplume Terrorshroom

• The first and only wave is with Jadeplume Terrorshroom. First of all, when the challenge starts, make sure you are in range within Jadeplume's attack range (if you bring melee DPS). This is because most of their attacks are short range and you can dodge to avoid taking any damage. Of course, if you bring a shielder/healer, you can end the fight faster by brute force attacking Jadeplume.
• There are 3 states of Jadeplume: Normal, Activated, and Scorched:
  • The Normal state is the one you're dealing with in its default form.
  • The Activated state is when the Fury bar under its HP is filled by Electro attacks from your character. When Jadeplume is in Activated form, it has different attack modes but will eventually be paralyzed from exhaustion for 15 seconds.
  • The last state is the Scorched state when Jadeplume is affected by Burning (Dendro+Pyro). It's not really a big deal except for its skill that can summon a maximum of 4 Fungi, which will make you lose precious time in the challenge.

• Both states are decent so you can choose which one you think is the best for your team. For the Activated state, make sure to precisely avoid any incoming attacks from Jadeplume because those hit like a truck. Instead, wait until it's paralyzed before you can spam your attacks.
• For the Scorched state and the Fungi spores, you can destroy the spores with Electro/Hydro/Pyro within 3 seconds before they can spawn, which will stop the Fungi from spawning. Any of the mentioned elemental AoE attacks are great here. Even Bennett's Skill will do like in the image above.

Floor 12 Chamber 2

First Half

1st Wave: 2 Dendro Specters, 2 Pyro Specters & 2 Electro Specters
2nd Wave: 3 Pyro Whopperflowers
3rd Wave: Shadowy Husk: Line Breaker, Defender, Standard Bearer & Black Serpent Knight: Rockbreaker Ax

Rumbling Stone Aura: Sends 2 rock waves that deal Geo DMG every 4s if the player touches them.
Smoldering Flames Aura: Deals continuous Pyro DMG to the active character while the debuff is active.

• In the first wave, there are 6 Specters surrounding you in the middle arena. Bringing AoE DPS can almost attack all of them at the same time. Of course, it will be great if you bring an Anemo CC to gather all of them and prevent them from teleporting or hovering away from you. Focus on the Specters at the back area, and if possible, lure the Specters at the front area towards the back to get ready for the next wave.
• Remember that Specters are immune to their own elements so make sure to bring at least one element that is different from all of them to effectively create reactions that can hurt them (Hydro).

• In the second wave, 3 Whopperflowers will pop out at the back area. Now that you're in the back area, you can immediately attack them.
• Another option you can do is to go to the front area so the whoppers will burrow underground and appear at the front area (to get ready for the next wave).

• In the third wave, the enemies spawn near each other at the front of the arena. Immediately run to the front and focus on the Line Breaker first (the blue one). This is because they have a skill that charges ahead, leading them to be far away from the group. Since all four enemies mostly group together (if not for the fact that Line Breaker keeps running away), the collateral damage should be able to chip away everyone's health there, especially the tanky Rockbreaker Ax with the highest HP.
• After you take care of the blue one, focus on the big boss Rockbreaker Ax here because (once again) it has the highest HP and will often try to protect its chicks. All these strategies is not really needed if you bring Anemo CC along since the slim ones can be gathered easily using the Anemo Vortex.

• I don't recommend bringing a shielder or Physical character because once any Shadowy Husk and Black Serpent attack your shielded characters, they will gain a buff for themselves and for nearby Husks at the cost of losing some of their health. They also have resistance against Physical attacks.
  • Line Breaker (Hydro one): Heal themselves and nearby Husks.
  • Standard Bearer (Pyro one): Generate a Pyro shield for themselves and nearby Husks.
  • Defender (Cryo one): Their bow will act as a shield that blocks attacks from the front.
  • Rockbreaker Ax: Enter a state that increases its ATK by 20% and all resistance is increased by 50%.

Second Half

1st Wave: Perpetual Mechanical Array

• There is only one wave here and it's the PMA boss. Your best bet is a single-target Elemental DPS to obliterate this one. Remember that this cube has a 70% Physical Resistance.
• Most of its attacks are really easy to dodge, so I believe you can handle it just fine. The problem is when the boss' HP reaches below 50% (around 35-40% HP), it will enter Defensive Mode and summon four Ruin Sentinels: Scout, Defender, Destroyer, and Cruiser.

• Attack only the highlighted Sentinel (even better if you can bait the highlighted Sentinel to get near the boss)! Do not attack any other because it will be a very waste of your time.
• Once you defeat the highlighted Sentinel, the big boss will be paralyzed for around ~20 seconds and all resistance will be lowered by 50%. This is the perfect time to use all your Skills and Bursts. When the boss recovers from the paralyzed state, it will become invincible for a few seconds before resetting its state and using its normal attack patterns again.

Floor 12 Chamber 3

First Half

1st Wave: Icewind Suite: Dirge of Coppelia

• There is only one wave here and it’s the boss 'Icewind Suite'. The one you will be facing is Coppelia, the female counterpart that deals mostly Cryo DMG. Coppelia is an Ousia-type and can be paralyzed by 3 Pneuma attacks like Furina, Lyney, and Neuvillette (but only during its Climax).
• All of its attacks are a combination of Anemo and Cryo DMG, and you should be able to avoid them like usual in the open world or tank them with a shield. The one you need to focus on is the Coppelia's Climax which will be triggered at the beginning of the fight.

• Coppelia and Coppelius will move to the center of the arena and initiate Climax: Create 3 Whirlwinds of Dirge that will periodically unleash blasts, dealing Anemo DMG (+Cryo DMG if it's infused with Coppelius's ice blades). Those Frosthearts can't be destroyed so ignore it and focus on the Coppelia.

• During the Climax, both of them will have 25% RES to all DMG. You can remove the climax move and paralyze the duo by hitting Coppelia when her core is exposed 3 times with Pneuma Attacks. Additionally, when hit by the Pneuma attack for the first/second time, the pulses of wind released by Coppelia will have a much smaller AoE and have their DMG reduced to 60% ATK.

Second Half

1st Wave: Veteran Arithmetic Enhancer Mek

• There is only one enemy in one wave; Veteran Arithmetic Enhancer Mek. It's the first time this veteran enemy has entered the ring. You might have fought this enemy as Local Legend in Fontaine, and their skills are the same.
• This enemy is Ousia-type. Hitting it with the Pneuma while it is not shielded will cause it to lose Arkhe and become stunned for a short period of time.

• The Meka has a Geo shield that grants it a 200% increase to all RES while active and protects it from being paralyzed caused by Pneuma attacks. The shield is weakest against Blunt Attacks (Claymore attacks, Plunging attacks, and most Geo DMG). When destroyed, the shield will be regenerated after some time.
  • This enemy will have a Gravity Reduction Field around it while Arkhe is available, which greatly boosts the jumping height of characters within.

• The worst attack it has is Gravity Ripple (not its official name) where it periodically sends out a shockwave that expands outwards and can be jumped over, dealing Geo DMG on hit. This attack cannot be dodged using sprint i-frames. For this one, jumping is really recommended unless you have a sturdy shield because it can deal some big damage.
• For other attacks, I believe you can dodge it just fine. Focus on removing that Geo shield, and once it's gone, brute force it as fast as possible before it creates another shield.

The post Genshin Impact: Spiral Abyss V4.5 Floor 12 Complete Guide appeared first on DotGG.

Floor 11 is the start of a challenge in Spiral Abyss for Genshin Impact players. The difficulty spikes up a little bit from the previous floor, in addition to the ever-changing roster of enemies in each version. In version 4.5, there is no normal boss here but there are lots of mobs that come in multiple waves. Follow this guide to know more about enemies' lineup, their weaknesses, and how to complete the entire chamber on Floor 11.

Blessing of the Abyssal Moon

Reminder: Blessing of the Abyssal Moon will change every refresh cycle and may not be updated here. But the enemies list and strategy will remain the same.

When characters create Geo Constructs, a shockwave is unleashed at the character's location, dealing True DMG to nearby opponents. Such a shockwave can only be unleashed once every 6s.

Ley Line Disorder

All party members receive a 75% Geo DMG Bonus.

Team Recommendations

There are NO Leyline Monolith stages for Chamber 1, so you don't have to be wary and bring your best team after looking at the enemies' list.

• The recommended element for the First Half is every element except Hydro and Anemo (Geo is the best). The reason is obviously because there are Local Legends Phantasm in the 3rd chamber and your Hydro DPS won't do jack there + Xuanwen Beast in the 2nd chamber has high resistance against those 2 elements I mentioned.
• Another best option is to bring any claymore user because, in the 1st chamber, there would be lots of rock-shielded enemies and the best way to destroy them would be using Blunt Attacks: claymore attacks, plunging attacks (except bow and catalyst), and Geo attacks. For examples:
  • National Team: Sucrose + Xingqiu + Bennett + Xiangling
  • Hyperbloom Team: Nahida + Kuki Shinobu + Xingqiu + Flex
  • Crystallize Team: Navia + Chiori + Furina + Flex
  • Hypercarry Team: Xiao + Faruzan + Bennett + Zhongli

• For the Second Half, similar to the first half, is pretty much nice to most elements. The two elements that might have a tiny disadvantage are Pyro and Dendro because the Consecrated enemies in chamber 2 have a small resistance to their own element in their Phagocytic Form. But if you really want to bring those elements as DPS, it should be fine as long as you bring other elements to trigger reactions.
• Anemo CC isn't really needed since only the 1st chamber can take advantage of Anemo CC, but if you want to bring them, go ahead. For examples:
  • Aggravate Team: Dendro MC + Kuki Shinobu + Sayu + Fischl
  • National Team: Raiden + Yelan + Bennet + Xiangling
  • Taser Team: Neuvillette + Raiden Shogun + Kokomi/Furina + Flex
  • Freeze Team: Neuvillette + Furina + Kazuha + Charlotte

Floor 11 Chamber 1

First Half

1st Wave: 4 Rock Shield Hilichurl Guards & 1 Rock Shieldwall Mitachurl
2nd Wave: 4 Rock Shield Hilichurl Guards & 1 Rock Shieldwall Mitachurl
3rd Wave: Pyro Shooter, Cryo Shooter, Geo Samachurl 2 Rock Shieldwall Mitachurls
4th Wave: Pyro Shooter, Electro Shooter, Geo Samachurl 2 Rock Shieldwall Mitachurls

• In the first wave, all enemies spawn in the front area. Right from the start, the Mitachurl will lunge in your direction using its shield. I suggest going after the moving Mitachurl and letting the 4 Hilichurls chase after you. Lead all of them to the back area since the next wave will spawn there.
• In the second wave, it's the same roster of enemies as in the first wave but they spawn in the back area. Same as before, focus on the Mitachurl as the smaller enemies will chase after you like ducklings.

• In the third wave, there will be enemies spawned on your left and right. I suggest going to the left area and focusing on the Samachurl before it can create a Geo construct for all three enemies on the left. If the pillars are created, you can destroy them fast using Geo attacks.
• In the fourth wave, it's the same roster of enemies as in the third wave (except Cryo Shooter is changed to Electro shooter) but they spawn on the opposite side. Same as before, focus on the Samachurl as the smaller the others will chase after you.

Second Half

1st Wave: Winged Dendroshroom and Cryoshroom & Grounded Hydroshroom and Geoshroom
2nd Wave: Sternshield Crab, Cherubic Sea Hare & Bubbler Seahorse

• In the first wave, all the enemies will spawn in the front area. It's great if you have an Anemo CC since some of the Shrooms tend to lunge at you and might get ahead of your spot so you have to chase them. But it's not that big of a problem. Since they keep chasing after you, you can just focus one by one.

• In the second wave, all enemies spawned in the back area. All of them have elemental shields and the best option here would be having an Anemo CC to cancel out each other's shields. But if you don't have any Anemo, another great element here would be Geo because of the ley line disorder and also the fact that Geo can be used to deplete each elemental shield here. Then there's me who just uses the opposite of their elemental so their shield can begone.

Floor 11 Chamber 2

First Half

1st Wave: 4 Xuanwen Beasts
2nd Wave: Assault Specialist Mek & Annihilation Specialist Mek (Pneuma)

• In the first wave, you will be surrounded by Xuanwen Beasts once the challenge starts. This enemy has 50% resistance against Hydro and Anemo so beware of that. But, they are very weak against the Freeze team. Freezing a Xuanwen Beast and then using Shatter / Melt / Superconduct / Swirl / or Crystallize will remove the Frozen aura and paralyze it.
• These elite enemies move quite fast so they can catch up to you quickly, but I still recommend going to the left or right wall and cornering all of them at the same spot (they also won't be easily staggered like Vishaps).

• In the second wave, there will be an enemy on the left and right side of the arena (that's why I suggest either the left or right wall. Once they spawn, the Annihilation Meka will summon another small Meka before chasing after you, while the Assault Meka will run after you right from the start.
• Since they are Pneuma types, hitting them with Ousia attacks twice will temporarily paralyze them. If you don't bring any Ousia-character, brute force is the only way.

Second Half

1st Wave: Consecrated Fanged Beast
2nd Wave: Consecrated Red Vulture

• In the first wave, there will be one Consentrated enemy in the front area (this monster is back from 3.7, thankfully not with another beast). As its color scheme suggests, it has high Dendro RES so it's best if you don't bring a Dendro DPS (and Fire DPS for the next Consecrated enemy).

• There will be a time when it will summon a Phagocytic Energy Block. Make sure to attack this block with elemental attacks until the bar is filled so you can gain the Phagocytic energy > hit the consecrate enemy > and paralyze them. If you leave the Block alone for a period of time, the beast will reabsorb the Phagocytic Energy Block and re-enter Phagocytic Form (its more stronk form).
  • The Phagocytic Energy Block can be destroyed using a single Dendro attack or 6 non-Dendro elemental attacks.
• Other than Dendor RES, this enemy also possesses 50% Freeze Resistance at all times, decreasing the effectiveness of the Frozen Elemental Reaction.

• In the second wave, there will be another Consecrated enemy in the back area. This time, it's the Pyro one and has high Pyro RES. It's the same as the previous beast where you should take advantage of the Phagocytic Energy Block to paralyze them.

Floor 11 Chamber 3

First Half

1st Wave: Veteran Tainted Water-Splitting & Water-Spouting Phantasm

• There is only one wave here, and the 2 veteran phantasm will spawn at the front area side by side.
• Since both Phantasms on this floor are like the Local Legend you find in Fontaine, they will enter Enraged State from the start and will stay that way permanently. In this state, their attacks will be enhanced and become immune to being Frozen.
• Between the two Phantasms, the Water-Spouting one is a bit slower than the Water-Splitting one. So from the start of the challenge, go to the Water-Spouting at the right side and let the Water-Splitting chase after you. When the two are really close to each other, it's a matter of dealing damage to them and trying to avoid incoming attacks (unless you have a shield) to reduce the damage taken.
• If one of them is defeated, it won't get revived if you didn't defeat the remaining one within a limited time so don't worry about that.

Second Half

1st Wave: 2 Construction Specialist Meka & 1 Arithmetic Enhancer Mek (Ousia)

• In the first and only wave, all enemies spawn in the front area. When you start the challenge, go to the front area and stand behind the Arithmetic Meka (the middle one). This has a higher chance of making the two elite Mekas turn around and face your direction quickly instead of wandering around.
• Once you defeat the Arithmetic Meka, focus on the nearest Construction Meka (since getting them in one spot is pretty random) before going to the last one. Since these 2 are the elite types, you need to use Pneuma attacks twice to paralyze them. If you don't bring any Pneuma attacks, brute force them.

The Knights of Favonius are currently coming up with long-term plans to promote the achievements of alchemy. The person in charge, Lisa, seems to have a good idea and has invited you and Paimon to assist her.

Gameplay Overview

Event Gameplay Duration:
➥ 2024/03/14 10:00 - 2024/04/01 03:59 (Server Time)

Eligibility:
➥ Adventure Rank 20 or above
➥ Complete Archon Quest Prologue: Act III "Song of the Dragon and Freedom"

Event Overview:
➥ During the event, you must cultivate ingredients, concoct potions, and sell potions to gain revenue from your business to fund the gradual expansion of your operations and complete various event objectives.

Gameplay Tutorial

There are 4 operations you need to do for the whole event: (1) Concoction, (2) Cultivate, (3) Sell, (4) Supplies. We'll go through all of them one by one and I'll try to make it as simple as possible.

1) Concoction

I'm sure you have already completed Lisa's tutorial in the event quest so I'm sure you had some gist on what the event is all about. It's all about creating potions and selling them. Click the Conventional Concoction (under the purple tent), you will create potions:

• Select the ingredients and place them inside the cauldron (the boxes) until you reach at least Tuning Rate 100%.
• You can rotate, extract, and move them to cover as much area as possible.
• The higher your Alchemy Level, the bigger your cauldron will be = you can add more ingredients.
• You can only concoct 1 potion per cycle!

Each ingredient has a different efficacy and special characteristics so take your time when choosing the right ingredient to create your potion.

2) Cultivate

Now that you know how to make potions, it's time to know how to create ingredients for those potions. At first, you will only have 1 cultivation area. But you can gradually increase it to 9 areas by buying the lots from Freda (our supply friend).

• Plant any ingredient that you have (recommended to farm those ingredients that are <10 to make sure you always have stock of them).
• Some ingredients require 1 operation cycle to mature, while some of them need 2 cycles. Pay attention to those cycles.

3) Sell

After you create those potions, it's time to sell them! But if you want to get lots of income (stonks!), you need to pay attention to Market News. This news will tell you what is the best potion to sell in certain cycles. I will be covering each cycle below.

4) Supplies

After you get the Funds from selling your potion, it's time to upgrade your whole operations by buying items from Freda.

Alchemical Ascension (Phase 1)

Cycle 1

This is where your tutorial with Lisa starts. Just follow the instructions and create a potion > sell it. But try to fill all the boxes and reach the highest Tuning Rate.

Cycles 2-4

For cycles 2 until 4, the potions with the characteristics in the image above will have the highest sales ($). I made a bit of a mistake since I also started the event with little knowledge, but remember to create a potion with the following efficacies:

• Good Hunter is coming up with new dishes for adventurers who love battling: Constitution + Strength + Dexterity
• The owner of a Mondstadt flower shop is looking to have their fresh flowers grow more lushly and extend the time they are in bloom: Constitution + Steadying + Endurance

Everyone should have different boxes (that one small box that you can't place your ingredient with) so you can't follow 100% of other people's ingredients. But it's not a problem so don't worry. This is my first mistake so I'm telling you, do NOT make the same potion as you did in the previous cycle (aka the Beginner Constitution Potion). If you did, you can't sell both of them since the same types aren't allowed to be stocked twice.

Besides that, after concocting a potion, enhance any of your available potions. It doesn't take that much Funds but it will help increase your potion quality.

Before each cycle ends, don't forget to buy anything you can Freda, especially Improved Alchemy Cauldron and Cultivation Area Expansion.

By the end of Cycle 4, you should have booming sales - even more than mine cause I made a mistake in Cycle 2 - you can tell by Paimon's happy face. If you also make any miss, don't worry because you can make a comeback in each cycle.

Cycles 5-7

For cycles 5 until 7, the potions with the characteristics in the image above will have the highest sales ($). Try to make the following potions:

• Draff of Springvale is recruiting hunters to hunt an exceedingly speedy Boar King: Strength + Endurance + Dexterity
• A scholar from Mondstadt has unearthed an ancient stone tablet and is currently trying to decipher the information on it: Wisdom

For the potion in Cycle 5, make the Wisdom potion for the scholar in Mondstadt. I use lots of Qingxin for it to be Wisdom and fill the rest with Mushroom since it doesn't have any efficacy. But you can add any ingredients with Dexterity or Strength efficacy.

After we're done with the Wisdom, make a potion for Draff. He wants to be super fast so I insert lots of Dexterity ingredients. You can also include Strength and combine both efficacies.

For the 7th cycle, you can just create any potion that you did not create before. I just randomly add Wisdom and Charisma which work out well cause the next cycle wants a Charisma-related potion.

As usual, now that we're at the end of the cycles, look at each potion that you sell. If it got a thumbs up, it means your potions match the Market News and your sales should get higher! I bet your profits are much higher than mine.

Cycles 8-10

Cycles 8 to 10 are the last cycles for Phase 1 in Alchemical Ascension. Aside from the 2 Market News above (performances and clear out), there are another 2. You will get 2 out of the 4 Market News randomly. Follow the instructions below for the right potions with the highest sales:

• Bard in Mondstadt for their performances: Charisma + Relaxing + Wisdom
• Cavalry Captain: Strength + Perception + Endurance + Dexterity
• Makeup and dress up: Charisma + Fragrant + Technique
• Good health: Constitution + Warm + Endurance

In Cycle 8, Beidou is here with her custom order. I didn't make one for her so she left and came back later at Cycle 10. But make sure you complete her order before Cycle 10 (because I don't know if you will miss her completely if you don't make her potion before Cycle 10 ends).

For the potion in cycle 8, I put lots of Charisma for our dear bard (hope it's for Venti). You can add other efficacy if you want, but I just add lots of Mushrooms and Berries. Remember that you might get a different Market News than me so read yours first!

Our 9th potion, I made one for the Cavalry Captain which is full of Dexterity. Making it full with Strength should also work. Even better if you combine both efficacies.

Now for the last cycle in Phase 10, I create a potion for Beidou. She wants a potion with Constitution efficacy and Relaxing characteristics. So I combined the Constitution ingredient with the Dexterity ingredient which has a Relaxing effect.

Done! We have completed the first 10 Cycles in the Alchemical Ascension event. Now, we need to wait for the second phase to be unlocked.

Alchemical Ascension (Phase 2)

All Market News in Phase 2

Starting in Phase 2, all the Market News you get will be randomized! So it will be even harder to follow a guide to a T. You can see the following list for the Market News in phase 2:

1. Rare, swift-swimming fish have been spotted in Mondstadt's waters! Enthusiasts are eager to have at them: Endurance + Perception + Dexterity
2. An exhilarating Pankration Tournament is underway in the Fortress of Meropide, and it is said there's someone(s) looking to buy a way to boost their physical capabilities no matter the price: Constitution + Dexterity + Strength
3. The Millelith are currently clearing out monsters in order to protect miners. They want to remain calm as they do so and end the battle quickly: Strength + Dexterity + Steadying
4. The captain of a Liyue ship wants to improve the constitution of new sailors and ameliorate the effect of seasickness: Endurance + Constitution + Healing
5. Akademiya students are busy composing final theses and are under significant stress. Some are currently seeking a means to calm their spirits and let them focus on research: Steadying
6. Yae Publishing House is holding a light novel contest, and authors are searching for inspiration: Wisdom + Perception + Focus
7. There have been frequent disturbances in the desert lately, and the Guardian of Aaru Village is leading the other guards in the defense against monster attacks: Strength + Wisdom + Endurance
8. Recently, the number of people injured by monster attacks is on the rise, and Deaconess Barbara is looking to replenish the medicine stocks of the Church of Favonius: Constitution + Steadying + Healing
9. The Director of the Yun-Han Opera Troupe is preparing to purchase a batch of makeup products for their performances: Charisma + Fragrant
10. Some of the Qingce Village elders are in poor health, and they hope to find a way to extend their lifespans: Constitution + Strengthening + Endurance

Cycles 11-13

In the second phase, there will be new improvements from Freda where you can improve operating efficiency. It's recommended to unlock the Sales Efficacy first before Alchemical Efficiency > Cultivation Efficiency.
Specifically, in this cycle, unlock at least the Sizeable Shop Shelf (and upgrade it once). I can only unlock and upgrade it once cause lack of funds. If you have more, unlock the Steadily Increasing Sales too.

In addition to that, you can also find decorations for your potion bottles. It doesn't really help with anything so leave this for last and buy other useful things like the remaining Alchemy Cauldron first.

Depending on your Market News, make a potion with a specific efficacy. For example, I make a potion focused on Strength. You should be able to sell 4/5 Potions since you had already unlock the Sales Efficacy from Freda.

In the 12th cycle, Sucrose will come to test your skill. For this one, everyone has the same exam requirements. Before starting, read the primary objective and make sure you have the ingredients that matches the efficacy that she wanted. You only need to complete the Primary Objective to complete the exam, the Secondary Objectives are for extra funds.

• (Main objective) Potion of Intermediate or higher grade whose efficacies include Constitution.
• Potion grade reaches Intermediate and potion level reaches +5.
• Potion displayed at least 1 characteristic.
• Use no more than 3 types of ingredients.

After you're done with the exam, you can continue with concocting potions for the 12th and 13th cycles. This time, make a potion with the combination of both main efficacies in your Market News. Example: I did one for Strength + Dexterity.

Cycles 14 -16

Once again, your Market News will be randomized. Look at the list of Market News I gave above (just below the Alchemical Ascension phase 2 header) to see the efficacies for your Market News.

In Cycle 14, Diona will come and ask for a Wisdom potion with Steadying characteristics. You can postpone and she will come again in the later cycle but I recommend to just do it now so you won't miss it accidentally. I make a Wisdom potion correctly, but accidentally remove some ingredients and the Steadying characteristic is gone. But Diona still accepts it so all is good.

For the 15th cycle, start making the potion for your Market News. By now, I already unlocked all Sizable Shop Shelf so I can sell 6 potions at once.

In Cycle 16, Sucrose will come once again for another exam. Similar to before, everyone will get the same requirements.

• (Main objective) Potion with Strength and Dexterity with Intermediate grade or higher.
• Potion grade reaches Intermediate and potion level reaches +8.
• Potion displays at least 2 characteristics.
• No more than 10 ingredients used.

After the exam is completed, make your potion for the 16th cycle. By this point, I had unlocked everything in Sales Efficacy so I got +1 Market News. This way, more of your potions will match the market news and you can get more Funds.

Cycles 17-19

Check back at Freda and use all your Funds to unlock and upgrade everything in Alchemical Efficiency. If you have more funds, unlock some options in the Cultivation Efficiency.

As usual, make a potion based on your Market News. If conveniently, you already got most of the right potions, try combining more potions with 2 efficacies that matches your Market News.

In Cycle 18, Diluc will arrive with a custom order. Once again, I recommend you completing the order in this cycle and don't let this man escapes. He wants a potion with Constitution and Wisdom efficacy + Focus and Relaxing characteristics. Sounds hard, but you can filter all the ingredients to make it easier for you to choose.
Another important information: This phase only allows you to play until Cycle 20, so if you missed him now, I don't know when he will come gain. Possibly after phase 3 is unlocked.

In Cycle 19, I unlocked and upgraded everything in the Operation Bonuses with more funds to spare. If you have spare funds, buy the decoration for your bottles since it's really plain. Nothing major happens in this cycle so make potion at ease.

Cycles 20-22

In phase 2, you can only play until cycle 20. But you can continue it later after phase 3 is unlocked. For your Market News, since there are only 10 of them in this phase, you will get a repeated Market News (one that you already got before).

If you have a new Market News, follow the recipe and make a potion that matches the efficacy. Since I got the Opera one, Charisma all the way with a pinch of Constitution to match the second Market News.

Alchemical Ascension (Phase 3)

All Market News in Phase 3

Now in the third phase, everything will become extremely repetitive so I will mention all the tips you can do while you can figure out what potions to concoct by yourself (I believe you can do it). Before that, let's see what's the Market News available in the third phase. Once again, the Market News you will get is randomized:

1. Fontainian divers are salvaging a batch of cultural relics. They wish to move swiftly underwater so that their work can proceed more efficiently: Dexterity + Perception + Endurance
2. An Inazuman Doushin is pursuing a swift and unpredictable ronin: Strength + Dexterity + Perception
3. Liyue's Ministry of Civil Affairs has been terribly busy of late. A clerk wants to focus harder and clear work more quickly: Wisdom + Relaxing + Focus
4. The Fontaine Apparel Association is preparing for a fashion show, and many models are hoping to make their mark and leave a deep impression: Charisma + Fragrant + Technique
5. Fontaine's Maison Gardiennage is conducting tactical training, and the Gardes are hoping to improve their performance in the simulated pursuit: Strength + Dexterity + Technique
6. Some prisoners in the Fortress of Meropide are looking to earn Credit Coupons quickly. They want to be able to process widgets more efficiently by having more strength: Strength + Dexterity + Technique
7. Some Grand Narukami Shrine shrine maidens are feeling unwell due to the winds at night being too cold: Constitution + Warm + Strengthening
8. A certain Fontainian celebrity is currently getting ready to host a social ball, and all the invited ladies and gentlemen are preparing themselves: Charisma + Technique + Relaxing
9. Fontainian reporters need to spend lots of time investigating stories, and they hope to find a way to quickly replenish their stamina while on break: Constitution + Strengthening + Endurance
10. The number of foreign visitors to Sumeru has been increasing recently, and with it, cases of individuals not being acclimatized to local conditions and food, so Bimarstan is buying a batch of medicine to relieve physical discomfort: Constitution + Strengthening + Healing

Buy everything from Freda

Freda has bought new supplies and it is a Sales Expansion Contract and some Shop Decorations. Ignore the Decorations for now and buy the Sales Expansion Contract immediately. You can buy the decorations if you have leftover Funds (you don't have any use for the Funds later so might as well buy everything).

Traveling Merchants unlocked

You will unlock Atefeh, the traveling merchant by default. This is similar to selling potions on your stall; give her 3 potions according to her intuitions (e.g: potions with Wisdom efficacy), choose the correct Distribution Strategy, and you're good to go. The only correct strategy here can be seen below, and make sure to choose the same strategy below in each cycle:

1. Akademiya Certification
2. Celebrity Endorsement

The Sales Expansion Contract will unlock Deyou, another traveling merchant. He works the same way as Atefehl; give him the potions and choose the right strategy. Now that you have both of them, your sales gonna goes boom. The only correct strategy here can be seen below, and make sure to choose the same strategy below in each cycle:

1. Free Sample Delivery
2. Hundred-Fold Guarantee

Concoct any potions you want

Starting in phase 3 (specifically from Cycle 25), you can make unlimited potions. Yes, you can concoct as many potions as you want in one cycle as long as you have the ingredients. This is why I mentioned that it will become really repetitive so I won't include any potions that I make. You can refer to the News Market above on what efficacies and characteristics the potions need.

Enhance every potion you have

Since you don't have any use of the funds, you can use them to enhance your potions instead. This way, your already completed potions can jump grade easily (e.g: from Intermediate > Advance > Expert).

Max out every ingredient

I'm sure you notice how much ingredients you have by now because all of them only need 1 cycle to be harvested. With so many of them, check the ones that have not reached the maximum level yet and max them out (can be combined with both the same ingredient and others). When the ingredient level has reached maximum, a second type of ingredient placement (the Tetris box ingredient) will be unlocked.

Alchemy Advanced Exam (Cycle 22)

In Cycle 22, Sucrose will come with another exam. As per usual, here's what she wants for the potion. You can just filter all the efficacy and characteristic that are needed:

• (Main) Concoct a potion of Advanced or higher grade whose efficacies include Wisdom
• Potion grade reaches Advanced and potion level reaches +8
• Potion displays the Fragrant characteristic
• Use at least 5 different types of ingredients

Custom Potion (Cycle 24)

In Cycle 23, Gorou and Kirara will come for another custom potion. He wants a potion with Strength efficacy or that displays Endurance characteristics. Fortunately, I already have a potion with both tags and can just give it to him. Pretty sure you will have one too by this point, but if you don't, you can just make one. Remember the infinite potion you can make (as long as you have the ingredients!

Alchemy Expert Exam (Cycle 26)

This will be the last exam to test your skills:

• (Main) Concoct a potion of Expert grade whose efficacies include Charisma
• Potion grade reaches Expert and potion level reaches +8
• Potion displays the Perception and Steadying characteristics
• Tuning Rate reaches 280%

Dori is a support character who uses her Electro Vision to both heal teammates and help restore Energy.

C5: Value for Mora
Increases the Level of Spirit-Warding Lamp: Troubleshooter Cannon by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

Yun Jin is a support character who can increase Normal Attack DMG by all nearby party members. She can charge her power to increase the damage of her Elemental Skill.
After unleashing her Elemental Burst, she can also increase the Normal Attack DMG dealt by all nearby party members based on her DEF.

This guide is based on the Community Character Builds by the Genshin Helper Team.

Talent Priorities

Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill > Normal Attack

Yun Jin is a Support character for Normal Attack-focused characters who can deal off-field damage via her Elemental Burst. Yun Jin's Elemental Burst grants nearby party members 30 stacks of additional flat damage bonus on Normal Attacks which scales with Yun Jin's current DEF. This means that external DEF buffs like Gorou's Elemental Skill and/or Burst don't provide much to Yun Jin since it only buff active characters and not off-field ones.

C1: Thespian Gallop

1. Favonius Lance (4✩)*
2. Engulfing Lightning (5✩)
3. "The Catch" (4✩)
   ~= Prototype Starglitter (4✩)
   ~= Kitain Cross Spear (4✩)*

1) Favonius Lance (ATK: 565 • Energy Recharge: 30.6%)

CRIT Hits have a 60/70/80/90/100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12/10.5/9/7.5/6s.
Note: With this weapon, try to aim for some Crit Rate stats to trigger the weapon passive reliably.

2) Engulfing Lightning (ATK: 608 • Energy Recharge: 55.1%)

ATK increased by 28/35/42/49/56% of Energy Recharge over the base 100%. You can gain a maximum bonus of 80/90/100/110/120% ATK. Gain 30/35/40/45/50% Energy Recharge for 12s after using an Elemental Burst.

3) "The Catch" (ATK: 510 • Energy Recharge: 45.9)

Note: Although the EM main stat isn't useful for Yun Jin, the passive decreases her Energy Recharge requirements by a lot, especially at higher refinements. It can reduce her ER% reqs depending on refinement. Note that she must cast Elemental Burst first before Skill, as the passive drains 3 energy initially when Skill is cast. This weapon can be left at level 1 while still getting full effect from the passive.

Gorou is a Support character that can give increasing buffs to your party members from his Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst based on the number of Geo characters in your team (capped at 3). Casting his Elemental Skill sets up a banner that gives flat DEF (1 Geo), Interruption Resistance (2 Geo) and Geo DMG% Bonus (3 Geo) for your active character standing inside the banner radius.

Casting his Elemental Burst creates a field following the active character which deals periodic damage and offers the same bonuses given by the Skill, destroying any placed banners in the process, it also pulls in nearby Elemental Shards created by Crystallize reactions. Due to his kit focusing on buffing DEF and Geo DMG, he's a specialized support geared towards Geo DPS that scales with DEF, such as Noelle or Itto. He can see niche use at [C6] with other Geo characters as well.

[C2] extends the duration of Gorou's Elemental Burst from 9 seconds to 12 seconds if you can obtain the required Crystallize shields. This allows his teammates to gain the 3 Geo 15% Geo DMG% bonus for a longer duration, so it's preferable to use Burst as your last ability before swapping into your DPS.

Constellations

Best Constellations: C1, C2 & C6

C1: Rushing Hound: Swift as the Wind
When characters (other than Gorou) within the AoE of Gorou's General's War Banner or General's Glory deal Geo DMG to opponents, the CD of Gorou's Inuzaka All-Round Defense is decreased by 2s. This effect can occur once every 10s.

C2: Sitting Hound: Steady as a Clock
While General's Glory is in effect, its duration is extended by 1s when a nearby active character obtains an Elemental Shard from a Crystallize reaction. This effect can occur once every 0.1s. Max extension is 3s.

C3: Mauling Hound: Fierce as Fire
Increases the Level of Inuzaka All-Round Defense by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C4: Lapping Hound: Warm as Water
When General's Glory is in the "Impregnable" or "Crunch" states, it will also heal active characters within its AoE by 50% of Gorou's own DEF every 1.5s.

C5: Striking Hound: Thunderous Force
Increases the Level of Juuga: Forward Unto Victory by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C6: Valiant Hound: Mountainous Fealty
For 12s after using Inuzaka All-Round Defense or Juuga: Forward Unto Victory, increases the CRIT DMG of all nearby party members' Geo DMG based on the buff level of the skill's field at the time of use:
"Standing Firm": +10%
"Impregnable": +20%
"Crunch": +40%
This effect cannot stack and will take reference from the last instance of the effect that is triggered.

Recommended Weapons

1. Favonius Warbow (4✩)
2. Sacrificial Bow (4✩)
3. Elegy for the End (5✩)*

1) Favonius Warbow (ATK: 454 • Energy Recharge: 61.3%)

CRIT Hits have a 60/70/80/90/100% chance to generate a small amount of Elemental Particles, which will regenerate 6 Energy for the character. Can only occur once every 12/10.5/9/7.5/6s.

2) Sacrificial Bow (ATK: 565 • Energy Recharge: 30.6)

After damaging an opponent with an Elemental Skill, the skill has a 40/50/60/70/80% chance to end its own CD. Can only occur once every 30/26/22/19/16s.

3) Elegy for the End (ATK: 608 • Energy Recharge: 55.1)

A part of the "Millennial Movement" that wanders amidst the winds. Increases Elemental Mastery by 60/75/90/105/120. When the Elemental Skills or Elemental Bursts of the character wielding this weapon hit opponents, that character gains a Sigil of Remembrance. This effect can be triggered once every 0.2s and can be triggered even if said character is not on the field. When you possess 4 Sigils of Remembrance, all of them will be consumed and all nearby party members will obtain the "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" effect for 12s. "Millennial Movement: Farewell Song" increases Elemental Mastery by 100/125/150/175/200 and increases ATK by 20/25/30/35/40%. Once this effect is triggered, you will not gain Sigils of Remembrance for 20s. Of the many effects of the "Millennial Movement," buffs of the same type will not stack.
Note: Elegy offers a helpful ER substat alongside an EM and ATK% buff for your teammates. While not directly useful in teams centered around Noelle or Itto, this could possibly be a good choice for future Geo DPS characters, or in a team which utilizes Geo Resonance.

Recommended Artifacts

1. The Exile (4)*
2. Noblesse Oblige (4)*
3. Emblem of Severed Fate (2) +20% ER set (2)

1) The Exile

2-Piece Bonus: Energy Recharge +20%
4-Piece Bonus: Using an Elemental Burst regenerates 2 Energy for all party members (excluding the wearer) every 2s for 6s. This effect cannot stack.
Note: Casting Elemental Burst regenerates a total of 6 Energy for each of your party members. This set reduces your Energy Requirements by a bit for all of your party members, which can be quite beneficial. Do note that this is a 4-star set so you're potentially missing out on 5-star stat scaling, which is a 34% difference in main stat value and 25% difference in individual sub stat value.

2) Noblesse Oblige

2-Piece Bonus: Elemental Burst DMG +20%
4-Piece Bonus: Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members' ATK by 20% for 12s. This effect cannot stack.
Note: The effectiveness of this set increases if you've already met the ER requirement for Gorou. At that point, you'd no longer need to run the recommended ER% sets, which means you can opt for this instead.

3) Emblem of Severed Fate (2) +20% ER set (2)

*DEF% main stats and sub stats (and potentially a Healing Bonus main stat on Circlet) can be considered at [C4] due to being able to heal the active character based on his DEF during Burst. This is useful if you plan to use him as a solo healer.
*Crit Rate circlet and substats can be considered when Gorou is using Favonius Warbow to trigger the passive comfortably.
*ER% sub stats can usually be more important than getting the right main stat, as Gorou's damage contribution to a team is negligible while being able to get Energy for his Burst is a lot more important.

Team Compositions

Mono-Geo Team

Chiori: Off-field DPS
Arataki Itto / Noelle / Ningguang: Main DPS

Arataki Itto is a Geo damage dealer who deals damage mainly using his Charged Attacks.

His Normal Attacks and Elemental Skill grant him stacks of Superlative Superstrength. He can use this effect to unleash consecutive Arataki Kesagiri slashes, continuously dealing a high amount of DMG against his enemy. In his Elemental Burst state, he will able to increase his damage output.

This guide is based on the Community Character Builds by the Genshin Helper Team.

Skills Overview

Normal Attack: Fight Club Legend

Normal Attack
Performs up to 4 consecutive strikes.
When the 2nd and 4th strikes hit opponents, Itto will gain 1 and 2 stacks of Superlative Superstrength, respectively.
Max 5 stacks. Triggering this effect will refresh the current duration of any existing stacks.

Additionally, Itto's Normal Attack combo does not immediately reset after sprinting or using his Elemental Skill, "Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst!"

Charged Attack
When holding to perform a Charged Attack, Itto unleashes a series of Arataki Kesagiri slashes without consuming Stamina. Instead, each Arataki Kesagiri slash consumes 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength. When the final stack is consumed, Itto delivers a powerful final slash.

If no stacks of Superlative Superstrength are available, Itto will perform a single Saichimonji Slash.

Plunging Attack
Plunges from mid-air to strike the ground, damaging opponents along the path and dealing AoE DMG upon impact.

Superlative Superstrength, Max Stacks

Elemental Skill: Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst!

Hurls Ushi, the young akaushi bull and auxiliary member of the Arataki Gang, dealing Geo DMG to opponents on hit.
When Ushi hits opponents, Arataki Itto gains 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength.

Ushi will remain on the field and provide support in the following ways:

• Taunts surrounding opponents and draws their attacks.
• Inherits HP based on a percentage of Arataki Itto's Max HP.
• When Ushi takes DMG, Arataki Itto gains 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength. Only 1 stack can be gained in this way every 2s.
  Ushi will flee when its HP reaches 0 or its duration ends. It will grant Arataki Itto 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength when it leaves.

Hold
Adjust throwing angle.

Ushi is considered a Geo construct. Arataki Itto can only deploy 1 Ushi on the field at any one time.

Elemental Burst: Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil!

Time to show 'em the might of the Arataki Gang! For a time, Itto lets out his inner Raging Oni King, wielding his Oni King's Kanabou in battle.
This state has the following special properties:

• Converts Itto's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks to Geo DMG. This cannot be overridden.
• Increases Itto's Normal Attack SPD. Also increases his ATK based on his DEF.
• On hit, the 1st and 3rd strikes of his attack combo will each grant Arataki Itto 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength.
• Decreases Itto's Elemental and Physical RES by 20%.

The Raging Oni King state will be cleared when Itto leaves the field.

Ascension 1: Arataki Ichiban

When Arataki Itto uses consecutive Arataki Kesagiri, he obtains the following effects:
Each slash increases the ATK SPD of the next slash by 10%. Max ATK SPD increase is 30%.
Increases his resistance to interruption.
These effects will be cleared once he stops performing consecutive slashes.

Ascension 4: Bloodline of the Crimson Oni

Arataki Kesagiri DMG is increased by 35% of Arataki Itto's DEF.

Passive Talent: Woodchuck Chucked

When a party member uses attacks to obtain wood from a tree, they have a 25% chance to get an additional log of wood.

Talent Priorities

Normal Attack > Elemental Burst > Elemental Skill

Arataki Itto is a Geo DPS Character who takes advantage of his Elemental Burst's ATK boost and Geo infusion to deal significant damage during its uptime. His combos involve stacking and unleashing his Charged Attacks, named Arataki Kesagiri.

Arataki Kesagiri consumes no stamina and can be cast continuously as long as he has Superlative Superstrength stacks. Superlative Superstrength is capped at 5 stacks at any given time, and Itto gets those stacks when his 2nd and 4th Normal Attack string hits an enemy.

Activating his Elemental Burst allows his 1st and 3rd Normal Attack to also generate stacks. Itto's Elemental Skill deals damage to enemies on cast and summons a taunt, Ushi, which is considered a Geo Construct. This initial cast damage grants Itto 1 Superlative Superstrength stack, and upon Ushi leaving the field, Itto is granted another stack. When Ushi takes damage, Itto gains a stack (capped at 1 stack per 2 seconds). Itto's Elemental Burst converts his Normal and Charged Attacks into Geo DMG, increases Itto's Normal Attack Speed and converts a portion of Itto's current DEF to ATK.

Constellations

Best Constellations: C1, C2, C5 & C6

C1: Stay a While and Listen Up
After using Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil!, Arataki Itto gains 2 stacks of Superlative Superstrength. After 1s, Itto will gain 1 stack of Superlative Superstrength every 0.5s for 1.5s.

C2: Gather 'Round, It's a Brawl!
After using Royal Descent: Behold, Itto the Evil!, each party member whose Element is Geo will decrease that skill's CD by 1.5s and restore 6 Energy to Arataki Itto.
CD can be decreased by up to 4.5s in this manner. Max 18 Energy can be restored in this manner.

C3: Horns Lowered, Coming Through
Increases the Level of Masatsu Zetsugi: Akaushi Burst! by 3.
Maximum upgrade level is 15.

C4: Jailhouse Bread and Butter

Recommended Weapons

1. Redhorn Stonethresher (5✩)
2. Serpent Spine (4✩)*
3. Skyward Pride (5✩)*
4. Whiteblind (4✩)*

1) Redhorn Stonethresher (ATK: 542 • Crit DMG: 88.2%)

DEF is increased by 28/35/42/49/56%. Normal and Charged Attack DMG is increased by 40/50/60/70/80% of DEF.

2) Serpent Spine (ATK: 510 • Crit Rate: 27.6)

Every 4s a character is on the field, they will deal 6/7/8/9/10% more DMG and take 3/2.7/2.4/2.1/1.8% more DMG. This effect has a maximum of 5 stacks and will not be reset if the character leaves the field, but will be reduced by 1 stack when the character takes DMG.
Note: When using Husk of Opulent Dreams, Serpent Spine stacks are prioritized over Husk of Opulent Dreams stacks due to their conflicting nature in gaining stacks (Off-field and on-field).

3) Skyward Pride (ATK: 674 • Energy Recharge: 36.8)

Increases all DMG by 8/10/12/14/16%. After using an Elemental Burst, Normal or Charged Attack, on hit, creates a vacuum blade that does 80/100/120/140/160% of ATK as DMG to opponents along its path. Lasts for 20s or 8 vacuum blades.
Note: Can be a great or bad weapon for Itto depending on your ER needs. The less Energy Recharge you need (due to particle generation from your party members or ER from subs), the less useful this weapon becomes.

4) Whiteblind (ATK: 510 • DEF: 51.7)

On hit, Normal or Charged Attacks increase ATK and DEF by 6/7.5/9/10.5/12% for 6s. Max 4 stacks. Can only occur once every 0.5s.
Note: Your rotations often start with 1 stack of this weapon, and due to Itto's Burst snapshotting DEF on cast, you're unable to take advantage of further DEF% from the stacks.

Remember that Genshin Impact is a game where you need to take account of weapons, artifacts, constellations, and team building. Each of them can affect the outcome of your team, whether it's good or not. The tier list below tries to take the optimal setup into account, but a lot of characters can work well - even those ranked lower - if you invest in them.
Disagreeing with the tier list is normal as we have our own opinions, calculations, and biases toward certain characters. But if you want to prove your point, write it in a respectful manner.

Tier List Explanation

SS-Tier: Cream of the crop. Put them in any suitable team and they could demolish the difficult content quite easily (not limited to speedrun). Each character has its own best points that can shine greatly in the end-game once invested.

S-Tier: Strong characters who excel in their specific roles. Some can also easily become core party members with the correct investment in artifacts or constellations. Can enter the SS Tier with a small nudge.

A-Tier: Requires higher investment either into getting the specific artifacts/weapons/team members to achieve performance akin to other characters in the upper tiers. If not, they may deal decent damage/support only instead of a wow-worthy number.

B-Tier: Characters that are great in their role. But, they shine the most only when they are equipped in certain team configurations, but not as well by themselves. In other words, they are dependent (a lot) on other characters in the upper tier.

C-Tier: They can do their jobs, but can easily be replaced with other characters in the upper tier because of their lack of certain skills, stats, or other attributes. In addition, they may need buffs or specific strategies to be effective in combat.

D-Tier: Have a limited role and can only shine when they are highly invested. Even so, can't compete with other characters (and often overshadowed) in the upper tier that only require small to mid-investment. Highly recommend replacing them with better characters once you have them.

SS Tier

Main DPS

Neuvillette
One of the best Hydro characters in the game. His Charged ATK (main damage output) dish out so much damage it's not even funny. A one-man army, but with the downside of easily being interrupted by enemies. Don't fret though as his C1 can remove said (major) weakness.

Alhaitham
The self-proclaimed feeble scholar hides his strong ability behind his kit. Since both his Elemental Skill and Burst scale to Elemental Mastery, his reaction damage and even normal damage are very powerful. Alhaitham can deal with both single and multi-target DMG, making him suitable for fighting mobs or bosses (Although it depends on the Chisel-Mirror Stacks).

Hu Tao
Powerful and consistent damage through Elemental Skill that buffs her Charged Attack, and high multipliers that go even higher when she has below 50% HP. Her Elemental Burst deals considerable damage (better with buffs and reactions) and heals herself, making her a safer pick for a no-healer team.
But it's challenging to use her at C0 because you need to use animation canceling to get her optimal damage number. However, this can be solved by bringing Xianyun as support or getting her C1.

Raiden Shogun
A ridiculously overpowered character even with a forgable 4-star weapon "The Catch." Elemental Skill provides free-field damage, Electro applicant, increased Burst damage, and Energy particles.
While her Elemental Burst is extremely strong with almost 100% uptime, especially when she is built fully Energy Recharge. Her most famous team would be the National Team - where all of the members (excluding her) are 4-star characters with superb supporting skills.
If you're willing to spend some $, go for her C2 as she will gain DEF ignore which is extremely powerful.

Navia
That one Geo character who is different than the others as she wants as many different elements as possible in her team (very flexible in different teams). She shines the most with Crystallize and her Elemental Skill can deal buckshot of damage from small mob to bosses.

Lyney
Unlike Navia, this magician prefers to be in a team full of only his element. But thankfully, his passive talents save his mono-Pyro team. His Charged ATK can deal high damage while also making his Grin-Malkin Hat (one summoned while doing Charge Level 2) taunt enemies. Since he is easily interrupted, taunting enemies with his Grin-Malkin Hat is really time and self-saving. Once he gets sufficient Prop Surplus stacks, his Elemental Skill deals tons of damage.
This is where you can find the problem as Charged ATK decreased his HP and he can only gain a stack when his HP is above 60%. So you're gonna need a healer (Bennett) to help Lyney get his HP back.

Sub-DPS

Nahida
True to her position as a Dendro Archon, Nahida is a diamond in every Dendro team. Similar to Raiden Shogun, if you're willing to spend $ on her, go for Nahida's C2 as it can provide massive Crit Rate and Crit DMG for the Burning, Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon team while decreasing enemies' DEF for Quicken, Aggravate and Spread team.
Her Elemental Skill has great off-field damage and can apply Dendro multiple times. The duration of Elemental Skill is extremely long, with an extremely short cooldown. Elemental Burst has a wide AoE with a low Burst cost, providing a huge Elemental Mastery bonus to characters within.

Furina
The other half of 'one of the best Hydro characters' in the game. Her Elemental Skill basically has an infinite duration as her cooldown is much shorter than her skill duration. Not only that, her (Ousia) damage is no joke as the Salon Members is akin to having 3 main DPS on the field. But the downside is their attacks are not as fast as the Hydro application of Xingqiu or Yelan, which is still acceptable.

Xingqiu
A precious 4-star character with superb off-field supporting skills. In a nutshell, his Elemental Skill deals decent damage and tons of particles, in addition to generate Rain Swords that reduce the amount of damage taken and increase the character's resistance to reduction. Minor healing from when a Rain Sword is shattered or when its duration expires. Elemental Burst is his greatest skill, dealing Hydro damage off-field and allowing active character to trigger elemental reactions.

Yelan
5-Star Xingqiu. Powerful and consistent off-field Hydro application from her fairly high-cost Elemental Burst, in addition to providing bonus damage to active character. Elemental Skill can take care of the energy gathering, especially when equipped with an ER bow, also while dealing high damage to enemies. Easy to build as most her skills are scaled off her HP.
Bonus: Her Elemental Skill is extremely useful in exploration as it does not consume stamina.

Xiangling
This small chef has an average Elemental Skill, but a devastating Elemental Burst damage that can be utilized in most elemental reaction teams. Elemental Skill summon Guoba to deal off-field Pyro damage and generate energy for her high Burst energy cost. Elemental Burst (can be snapshotted) then comes in surrounding the active character with Pyronado that deals continuous Pyro damage to enemies.
Unfortunately, she's very energy-hungry so it's best if she is paired with another Pyro character (Bennett).

Kaedehara Kazuha
Top-tier Anemo support (arguably the best) with easy access to activate the Viridescent Venerer artifact. Elemental Skill can group enemies and Elemental Burst can change type when coming in contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro which will make elemental reactions easier. Every time he triggers Swirl, all party members gain an Elemental Damage bonus.

Support

Bennett
If Kazuha is the best 5-star support, then Bennett is the best 4-star support. His Elemental Skill has a short cooldown (if you use Charge Level 1, which is the recommended level), providing lots of Particles with the help of his Energy Recharge ascension stat. Elemental Burst is the main attraction, allowing him to buff ATK and heal teammates inside the AoE while also dealing decent damage.
