Enemy Lineup & Battle Strategies
Act 3: Maguu Kenki Three Shadows (Level 90)
The triple samurai encounter serves as an early skill check. Any well-built DPS unit can handle them easily, but positioning remains crucial to avoid their coordinated attacks. Focus on crowd control and AoE damage to dispatch them quickly.
Act 6: Tenebrous Papilla Type III (Level 92)
This Natlan boss presents unique challenges requiring specific approaches. Natlan characters dealing Nightsoul-based damage work best, though high-frequency damage dealers provide viable alternatives when Natlan characters aren’t available.
Act 8: Battle-Hardened Biting-Cold Wayob Manifestation (Level 95)
Based on Natlan’s challenging Local Legend Potapo’s Solidarity, this enemy demands careful preparation. A dedicated healer becomes essential due to persistent damage output and harsh environmental effects.
Act 10: Lava Dragon Statue (Level 100)
The season’s final boss requires strategic Pyro application. Using Pyro characters to trigger the Overburn state reduces its resistance by 60%, creating opportunities for massive damage with any element.
Combat Buffs & Brilliant Blessings
Fantastical Blessings
All opening characters enjoy substantial stat increases that extend beyond the Theater itself. These buffs work in overworld content, including Spiral Abyss and Stygian Onslaught, providing lasting value for your investment.
Elemental Reaction Buffs
Vaporize Blessings: Enhance Vaporize damage for Hydro and Pyro teams Burning Blessings: Boost Burning damage, particularly effective against the Lava Dragon Statue Bloom Blessings: Increase Bloom damage for Hydro-Dendro combinations
