How To Beat Fatui Cryo Cicin Mage (Tavern Challenge)
Pick Raiden Shogun As Starting Character
You need to use Raiden Shogun's Burst as soon as possible so other characters can get 2 Energies immediately.
How To Get Raiden Shogun CardSet Up For Raiden Shogun's Burst
To get Energies required for Raiden Shogun's Burst, use her Skill once then Normal Attack once. Secure at least 4 Electro dice so you can perform the needed actions.
Switch To Abyss Lector
Once Raiden Shogun's Burst has been used, switch to Abyss Lector. When ready, use Abyss Lector's Burst for Pyro DMG & summon a unit that deals Pyro & Piercing DMG during end phase. This can synergize with Raiden Shogun's summon for triggering Overload and this reaction is advantageous for keeping Mirror Mage out of the playing field.
How To Get Abyss Lector CardSubstitute Card To Use If Abyss Lector Is Not Available
Aside from Pyro, you can also go for another element that can work well with Electro & Hydro. For instance, Cryo is great since Freeze can halt the action of the opposing character and Cryo-related reactions can deal Piercing DMG. It is recommended to use a character that produces a summon so you can still deal powerful damage during end phase.
Switch To Kamisato Ayato
When the setup is ready, you can now switch to Kamisato Ayato. The Energy cost of Ayato's Burst is 3 so use his Skill for the meantime. Meanwhile, triggering elemental reactions on Cryo Cicin Mages can decrease the duration of their summon by 1 so use this tactic to your advantage.
How To Get Kamisato Ayato CardUse Kamisato Ayato's Burst
Once ready, use Ayato's Burst for Hydro DMG & summon that synergizes with the summoned units of Raiden Shogun & Abyss Lector during the end phase. You can already win at this point.
