How To Beat Mirror Maiden (Tavern Challenge)
Avoid Switching When Affected By Debuff
When your active character is affected by Mirror Maiden's Skill, Refraction, switching to another character costs 2 dice instead of 1. In this case, it is recommended to use a Normal Attacker.
Normal Attacker Does Not Switch A Lot
Once you have prepared the setup for a normal attacker, you can go all out for 1 round. You can likely defeat a single character of the opponent.
Recommended Character Cards
| Normal Attack Characters | |
|---|---|
| Yoimiya | Ayaka |
| Ganyu | Fatui Pyro Agent |
Yoimiya's Improved Normal Attacks
When you used Yoimiya's talent card, you can deal +1 DMG that is also converted to Pyro.
Fatui Pyro Agent Is Great
Pyro Agent initially has a shield and can be tanky. While affected by Stealth, you can deal +1 additional DMG when taking offensive action. Also, the Burst cost is only 3 Pyro dice & 2 energies which is advantageous.
Buff & Heal Is Great
You can avoid getting defeated if you can utilize a healer in your deck. It is better to use a healer that can also be a buffer. The right timing and accurate calculation are crucial for its effectiveness.
