Boss Mechanics

Iniquitous Baptist (Stage 1): 12,437,830 HP (Lv105), 13,614,572 HP (Lv110). Elemental Rings require reactions to interrupt attacks. Elemental Wards paralyze boss 18s when broken. Deepdark Shield at 45% HP—destroying removes 20% HP and reduces all RES by 60%. Anglers reduce shield integrity 25% each.

Battle-Hardened Iktomisaurus (Stage 2): 9,232,639 HP (Lv105), 17,195,518 HP (Lv110). Three shield layers (4.5% HP each). Cryo Wards trigger 12s knockdown when broken. 600% Electro-Charged damage amplification. Three torches respond to Charged Attacks for Pyro damage.

Experimental Field Generator (Stage 3): 8,552,749 HP (Lv105), 14,042,886 HP (Lv110). Requires three Pneuma attacks to disable Ousia core. Plunging Attacks reduce shockwave damage. 64U Pyro horns need Hydro application.

Investment Standards

Low-investment = 4-star characters C0-C2, craftable/4-star weapons R1-5, targeted artifact farming. Character level 80/90, talents 6/8/8, artifacts +16 to +20 with correct main stats, weapons 80/90. Approximately 3-4 weeks resin per team.

Team #1: National (Xiangling/Xingqiu/Bennett/Sucrose)

Build Requirements

Xiangling: 4pc Emblem, ATK%/Pyro/Crit, 180% ER, 50/100 Crit. The Catch R5 > Dragon's Bane R5 > Favonius Lance R3+.

Bennett: 4pc Noblesse, HP%/HP%/Healing, 200% ER. Any ER sword.

Xingqiu: 4pc Emblem, ATK%/Hydro/Crit, 200% ER (180% with Sac Sword R3+), 60/120 Crit. Sacrificial Sword R3+ > Favonius Sword R5.

Sucrose: 4pc VV, EM/EM/EM, ignore substats. Sacrificial Fragments R3+ > Thrilling Tales R5.

Rotation

1. Bennett Burst
2. Sucrose Skill → Burst (Swirl Pyro for VV)
3. Xingqiu Burst → Skill
4. Xiangling Burst → Skill (snapshot Bennett buff)
5. Bennett Skill (funnel to Xiangling)
6. Sucrose Normal Attacks (drive Rain Swords, 15s)
7. Repeat

Critical: Xiangling casts Burst in Bennett circle. Sucrose Swirls Pyro before Xingqiu applies Hydro.

Performance

Stage 1: Rapid Ward destruction via Vaporize. 45-60s clear (Diff VI). Stage 2: Hydro-Pyro triggers Electro-Charged with boss's Electro aura. 50-70s. Stage 3: Bennett sustains, Xiangling handles Pyro horns. 55-75s.

Team #2: Taser (Sucrose/Fischl/Beidou/Xingqiu)

Build Requirements

Sucrose: Same as National.

Fischl: 4pc Thundering Fury or 2pc TF+2pc ATK%, ATK%/Electro/Crit, 120-140% ER. Stringless R5 > Favonius Warbow R3+.

Beidou: 4pc Emblem, ATK%/Electro/Crit, 160% ER. Serpent Spine R1 > Sacrificial Greatsword R3+ > Prototype Archaic R5.

Xingqiu: Same as National.

Rotation

1. Fischl Skill (deploy Oz)
2. Beidou Burst
3. Xingqiu Burst → Skill
4. Sucrose Skill (Swirl Electro for VV)
5. Sucrose Normal Attacks (12-15s)
6. Fischl Burst (reposition Oz)
7. Repeat

Beidou Burst requires active Normal Attacks for chain lightning. Funnel Fischl particles to Beidou by swapping after Oz deployment.

EM vs ER Priority

• Sucrose: 600-800 EM, 120-140% ER
• Beidou: 160% ER threshold before Crit/ATK
• Fischl: 120-140% ER, then ATK/Crit
• Xingqiu: 200% ER minimum

Performance

Excels Stage 2 due to 600% Electro-Charged amplification. 8-12 reactions per rotation at 4,500-6,000 damage each = 27,000-36,000 per reaction amplified. Single rotation breaks 1-2 shield layers.

Team #3: Hyperbloom (Dendro Traveler/Xingqiu/Kuki/Fischl)

Build Requirements

Dendro Traveler: 4pc Deepwood, ER/Dendro/Crit or ER/ER/ER, 180% ER. Favonius Sword > Sapwood Blade.

Xingqiu: Same as previous teams.

Kuki Shinobu: 4pc Flower of Paradise Lost, EM/EM/EM, 800+ EM, 180% ER. Iron Sting (craftable).

Fischl: 4pc Thundering Fury, ATK%/Electro/Crit, 120-140% ER.

Rotation

1. Dendro Traveler Burst (deploy Lea Lotus Lamp)
2. Xingqiu Burst → Skill
3. Fischl Skill (deploy Oz)
4. Kuki Skill (trigger Hyperblooms)
5. Kuki on-field Normal Attacks (15-20s)
6. Dendro Traveler Skill (refresh aura)
7. Repeat

Dendro Cores persist 6s. Kuki's Skill applies Electro every 1.5s, detonating 4-5 Cores per duration.

Hyperbloom Damage

Level 90 base: 1,446.85 damage. With 800 EM: ~6,337 per Hyperbloom. Against Lv110 bosses (10% Dendro RES): ~5,703 damage. 3-4 Cores/second × 15s = 45-60 Hyperblooms = 256,635-342,180 reaction damage alone.

Kuki EM Breakpoints:

• 600 EM: ~5,100/Hyperbloom
• 800 EM: ~6,300/Hyperbloom (recommended)
• 1000 EM: ~7,400/Hyperbloom (ceiling)

Performance

Stage 1: Consistent damage bypasses shields. 60-80s. Stage 2: Ignores shield layers, sustained DPS. 55-75s. Stage 3: Addresses Pyro horns, unaffected by field mechanics. 65-85s.

Stage-Specific Strategies

Stage 1: Iniquitous Baptist

Deepdark Shield at 45% HP removes 20% HP when destroyed. Summon Anglers—four kills destroy shield (25% each). Break Elemental Wards for 18s paralysis = 2-3 rotation cycles.

Blessings: ATK% (15-25%), Elemental DMG (20-30%) for National/Taser. EM (80-120) or Hyperbloom DMG (25-40%) for Hyperbloom.

Stage 2: Iktomisaurus

Three shield layers (774,698 HP each at Lv110). 600% Electro-Charged amplification. Taser achieves 8-12 reactions/rotation at 27,000-36,000 damage each = 216,000-432,000 shield damage, breaking 1-2 layers.

Break Cryo Wards for 12s knockdown. Three torches respond to Charged Attacks (Sucrose/Fischl) for 8,000-12,000 Pyro damage each.

Blessings: Electro-Charged DMG (40-60%) for Taser, Vaporize (30-50%) for National, Hyperbloom (35-55%) for Dendro.

Stage 3: Field Generator

Pneuma requirement workaround: Focus damage during boss's natural 6s vulnerability phases every 45-50s. Plunging Attacks during charge-up reduce shockwave power 40-60%. 64U Pyro horns need two Xingqiu Burst cycles (~40U Hydro per cycle).

Blessings: Plunging Attack DMG (50-80%) if applicable, otherwise ATK%/Elemental DMG.

Energy Management

ER Thresholds

National:

• Xiangling: 180% (standard), 220% (solo Pyro)
• Bennett: 200% (comfortable)
• Xingqiu: 180% (Sac Sword R3+), 220% (non-Sac)
• Sucrose: 120% (Sac Fragments), 140% (non-Sac)

Taser:

• Beidou: 160% (standard), 180% (solo Electro)
• Fischl: 120-140%
• Xingqiu/Sucrose: Same as National

Hyperbloom:

• Dendro Traveler: 180% (standard), 200% (comfortable)
• Kuki: 180% (standard)
• Xingqiu/Fischl: Same as above

Funneling Techniques

Elemental particles: 3 energy (same element), 1 energy (off-element). Neutral particles: 2 energy (all).

National: Bennett Skill → swap to Xiangling (catches 2-3 particles for 6-9 energy).

Taser: Fischl Skill → swap to Beidou after 3-4 Oz attacks (9-12 energy).

Hyperbloom: Dendro Traveler Skill → catches own particles. Favonius weapons generate 3 neutral particles (6 energy to all).

Burst Timing

Xingqiu's 15s Rain Swords = rotation ceiling. Extending beyond 18s sacrifices reaction consistency.

Durations:

• Xingqiu/Beidou: 15s
• Xiangling: 14s
• Bennett: 12s (snapshot window)
• Dendro Traveler: 12s
• Kuki Skill: 12s

Cast longest Bursts first (Xingqiu, Beidou), snapshot Bursts after buffs (Xiangling after Bennett), drive 12-15s maximum.

Common Misconceptions

Premium DPS Not Required

Neuvillette simplifies encounters but isn't necessary. Damage comparison (Stage 1, 60s):

• Neuvillette C0: 450,000-600,000
• National: 400,000-550,000
• Taser: 380,000-520,000
• Hyperbloom: 350,000-480,000

10-20% differential = 5-10 additional seconds, well within 120-180s limits.

Investment Myths

Actual Diff VI thresholds:

• Levels: 80/90 (90/90 provides <3% increase)
• Talents: 6/8/8 DPS, 1/6/8 supports
• Artifacts: +16 Flower/Feather, +20 Sands/Goblet/Circlet
• Weapons: 80/90 DPS, 70/80 supports

Resin: Minimum viable build = ~2,400 resin vs recommended 4,800 resin. 50% reduction allows two teams in same timeframe.

Constellation Requirements

Critical: Xingqiu C2 (extends Burst), Sucrose C1 (second Skill charge) Valuable: Xiangling C4 (Pyronado duration), Bennett C1 (ATK buff no HP restriction), Fischl C6 (coordinated attacks) Marginal: Beidou C2, Kuki C2

C0 variants clear Diff VI with 10-15% longer times.

Resource Efficiency

Artifact Priority

1. Emblem domain (Momiji-Dyed Court): Xiangling, Xingqiu, Beidou simultaneously. 2-3 weeks until 180% ER with correct main stats.
2. VV domain (Valley of Remembrance): Sucrose EM/EM/EM only. 3-5 days (360-600 resin).
3. Flower domain (Spire of Solitary Enlightenment): Kuki only. Alternatives (Gilded Dreams) comparable.

Talent Priority

Level 6→8: ~20% damage, 12 books + 450k Mora. Level 8→9: ~8% damage, 16 books + 700k Mora.

Priority:

1. Xiangling Burst (6→8 priority): 60-70% personal damage
2. Xingqiu Burst (6→8 priority): 70-80% personal damage
3. Beidou Burst (6→8 priority): 75-85% personal damage
4. Bennett Burst (6→8 sufficient): Scaling plateaus
5. Fischl Skill (6→8 valuable): Oz damage scales
6. Normal Attacks (leave 1-4): Minimal impact

Primogem Strategy

Nine characters total: Xiangling, Xingqiu, Bennett, Sucrose, Fischl, Beidou, Dendro Traveler, Kuki. Only Kuki requires targeted wishing.

Avoid: Weapon banner, DPS 5-stars until core teams complete Consider: Supportive 5-stars (Kazuha, Yelan) after Diff IV clears Prioritize: Resin refreshes during Disturbance Outbreak (first 10 days)

Advanced Tips

Roster Adjustments

No Sucrose: Anemo Traveler provides VV but lacks EM sharing. Reduces National 15-20%, Taser 20-25%. Viable Diff IV-V, struggles Diff VI.

No Fischl: Lisa provides Electro but demands on-field time. Hyperbloom substitutes Raiden (5-star).

C0 Xingqiu: 15s Burst creates tight windows. Barbara provides Hydro but sacrifices 60-70% damage.

Failed Clear Diagnostics

DPS check failure:

1. Verify ER meets thresholds—missing one Burst = 25-35% damage loss
2. Confirm artifact main stats
3. Review rotation—Xiangling snapshots Bennett, Sucrose Swirls correct element
4. Check weapon levels—Lv70 = 15-20% less damage than 80/90

Dying:

1. Healer needs +16 HP% artifacts minimum
2. Dodge telegraphed attacks
3. Destroy Wards/Rings (prevents 40-50% incoming damage)
4. Use food buffs

Energy problems:

1. Practice particle funneling (3× energy on correct character)
2. Favonius weapons need 20-30% Crit Rate
3. Extend rotations 2-3s for additional Skills
4. Use Burst immediately when available

Optimization

Animation canceling: Dash after Bursts saves 0.3-0.5s/rotation. 6-8 rotations = 2-4s saved.

Pre-casting: Begin rotations during boss invulnerability. Xiangling's Pyronado persists, dealing damage when vulnerability resumes.

Enemy grouping: Beidou chain lightning + Xiangling Pyronado hit boss + adds = 15-25% effective DPS increase.

FAQ

Minimum artifacts for Diff VI?

Correct main stats +16 to +20 matter most. ER thresholds: Xiangling 180%, Xingqiu 200%, Beidou 160%, Bennett 200%. Crit 50/100 suffices—60/120 or 70/140 provides 10-15% increase but not required.

Clear without 5-stars?

Yes. All three teams use 4-stars. Dendro Traveler free, Kuki on rate-ups. Clear times 10-20s longer than 5-star variants, within time limits.

Easiest team to build?

National. Xiangling/Xingqiu/Bennett appear frequently. The Catch free from fishing. Emblem domain serves both Xiangling and Xingqiu. Functional team within 2-3 weeks focused resin.

Constellation importance?

C0 clears with 10-15% longer times. Priority: Xingqiu C2 (+3s Burst), Sucrose C1 (second Skill), Bennett C1 (no HP restriction). Others incremental. Avoid wishing specifically for 4-star constellations—accumulate naturally 3-6 months.

Stage 2 DPS check failure?

Iktomisaurus has highest HP (17,195,518 Lv110). Break three shield layers via Electro-Charged—each removes 6% HP (1,031,731 damage). Taser excels (600% amplification). Ensure Beidou 160% ER for Burst uptime (40-50% team damage). Activate three torches with Charged Attacks for 24,000-36,000 Pyro damage.

Energy without Sacrificial weapons?

Increase ER by 20-40%. Xingqiu needs 220% without Sac Sword vs 180% with. Favonius weapons generate neutral particles for team. Extend rotations 2-3s for additional Skills. Consider ER Sands instead of ATK% Sands, accepting 12-15% damage loss for rotation consistency.
