How To Beat Abyss Lector (Tavern Challenge)
Freeze Is Not Effective
Abyss Lector: Fathomless Flames can only be frozen in the first phase and it is immune to Freeze when it is reborn due to its consistent Pyro self-application so using Freeze comp is not that effective.
Trigger Other Elemental Reactions
It is recommended to use a lineup that can trigger Overload & Crystallize. The reactions can forcefully switch the opposing character & produce shield points.
TCG Elemental Reactions & EffectsAutomatically Defeated When Shield Point Reaches 0
The Abyss Lector: Fathomless Flames is automatically defeated when its shield point reaches 0. While the shield point is active, refrain from using a Normal Attack unless it can deal elemental DMG that can react with Pyro.
Use Characters With Summoned Unit
During the reborn phase of Abyss Lector: Fathomless Flames, it gains 2 shield points which can only be dispelled by triggering elemental reactions regardless of the damage. Summoned units is excellent in this case since you only need to trigger an elemental reaction.
Recommended Characters With Summoned Unit
| Electro Character | ||
|---|---|---|
| Raiden Shogun | Yae Miko | Kujou Sara |
| Fischl | Electro Hypostasis | - |
| Geo Character | ||
| Zhongli | Arataki Itto | - |
Summon as many units as possible during the reborn phase of the Abyss Lector: Fathomless Flames and utilize its Pyro self-application to your advantage.

Best Decks For TCGConcede To Reroll Cards
If you do not like the 5 initial cards that you get after the initial reroll, you can concede the match and restart. You can repeat this until you get the cards of preference since the 5 initial cards, even the rerolled ones, are all random.
Elemental Tuning Can Be Used
In case you do not have useful elemental dice and you ran out of chance to reroll, you can sacrifice an action card to replace it with an elemental die that matches the active card.
