Blade Shadows

Enemy List
Trial Characters	Neuvillette	Furina
Challenge Details
- When a character hits or defeats enemies with Normal Attacks or Charged Attacks, more Charm Coins will drop. - Character's Normal Attack and Charged Attack DMG is increased by 60%.

The Neuvillette and Furina duo is strong enough for this challenge, but you can also add a VV support and an Electro Sub-DPS to trigger reactions. This will activate Neuvillette's buffs and deal additional elemental reaction damage. Adding a healer also works well to maximize Furina's DMG buff.

Radiant Bloom

Enemy List
Trial Characters	Lauma	Nefer
Challenge Details
- When a character deals Lunar-Bloom DMG to the enemy or depletes the enemy's HP bars through Lunar-Bloom reactions, more Charm Coins will drop. - When a character converts Stoneborne Seeds, a small number of Charm Coins will drop. When a character knocks the Battle-Scarred Rock Crab out of the air, a large number of Charm Coins will drop. - When a character triggers a Lunar-Bloom reaction, the Elemental Mastery of all party members is increased by 30 for 5s, stacking up to 3 times. When the party has 3 stacks, all party members' Dendro DMG, Hydro DMG, and Lunar-Bloom DMG are additionally increased by 40%.

Lauma and Nefer are a synergistic and strong Lunar-Bloom team core, with both benefitting from each other's abilities. Holding Lauma's Elemental Skill when the Rock Crab flies upward is extremely effective at dealing with the smaller crabs that it summons, Including Columbina and a sustain option of your choice should be able to get you easy and stable clears.

Raging Flame

Enemy List
Trial Characters	Durin	Venti
Challenge Details
- When a character triggers a Pyro-related reaction against enemies, more Charm Coins will drop. - When a character triggers Overloaded, Pyro Swirl, Pyro Crystallize, or Burning, party members of an Elemental Type involved in the elemental reaction gain a 50% Elemental DMG Bonus for their element for 5s. The DMG Bonus of the same element does not stack for this bonus.

Venti and Durin both compliment the other's Hexerei abilities, and this pairing does well into multiple light-weight enemies that can be affected by Venti's Elemental Burst. Use Venti as the On-Field DPS, and then pair him and Durin with a buffer or sustain like Bennett. The fourth slot is ideally Faruzan, but Fischl is a decent alternative as well.

Blazing Bolt

Enemy List
Trial Characters	Flins	Ineffa
Challenge Details
- When a character deals Lunar-Charged DMG to the enemy or depletes the enemy's HP bars through Lunar-Charged reactions, more Charm Coins will drop. - When a character deals Lunar-Charged DMG to the hat hiding the true body of the Battle-Hardened Pipilpan Idol, a small number of Charm Coins will drop. When the hat is destroyed and its true form is revealed, a large number of Charm Coins will drop. - When a character triggers the Lunar-Charged reaction in the enemy, the enemy's Electro RES and Hydro RES is reduced by 40% for 5s.

Ineffa and Flins are another synergistic pair who were designed to be perform well together, with both contributing to an equal but significant amount of personal damage to the total DPS. Ineffa's Shield and Energy particle generation helps to make Flins' field time very comfortable, though you do need to ensure there's a sustainable amount of Hydro application in the team by using Aino or Columbina. Sucrose buffs both Ineffa and Flins so its recommended to include her in the party as well.

Stone Rinse

Enemy List
Trial Characters	Zibai	Columbina
Challenge Details
- When a character deals Lunar-Crystallize DMG to enemies or defeats enemies through Lunar-Crystallize reactions, more Charm Coins will drop. - The active character's DEF is increased by 40%, and their ATK is increased by 30%. When a character triggers a Lunar-Crystallize reaction, it summons rainfall at the enemy's position, dealing AoE Hydro DMG for 5s. This effect can be triggered once every 5s.

Zibai and Columbina are a strong Lunar-Crystallize core, but will become even more potent with the addition of Illuga and Zhongli, since having a shield in this stage will help in preventing Zibai from getting staggered.

Cloud-Gorging Chapter

The Cloud-Gorging Zhanzhu boss appears at the left side of the screen. Once enraged, it will go towards the right and send cloud attacks. Use the gap between the clouds to get close to the boss and deal damage to it.

Wave-Swallowing Chapter

The Wave-Swallowing Zhanzhu boss spawns in the center. It spits out several lines of fireballs in its normal state. It's enraged state causes it to move back and forth along the edges of the arena, releasing a torrent of attacks around itself. Position yourself carefully in order to avoid getting hit. Skillfully make use of the Incarnation transformation's damage and immunity.

Moon-Burning Chapter

This boss starts at the bottom of the arena, then quickly snaps to a random direction where it'll start charging up a strong attack. This attack has a range indicated by a wide red area, so you need to place yourself far from the red area while also keeping close to the Moon-Burning Zhanzhu so you can continue to damage it.

Chapter of Truth

This stage lets you contest all 3 Zhanzhus, while also resetting any Skills you have upgraded prior to zero. You will spend a good amount of time before each boss saving up enough Wishes to upgrade your Skills enough for you to comfortably clear the Zhanzhu. Dodging and Vigor or Vitality-related Skills become even more important since you will start with lower vitality.
