Team Recommendations

F2P-Friendly Core Team

Mi Fu	Rossi	Chen Qianyu	Pogranichnik
Amaranthine Tassel (if you don't have it, BP weapon "Phantom Pain" works)	Swordmancer Flint + Eternal Xiranite 2-piece set		Frontiers Set
Grizzled Edge Set Strength > ATK > Tech Sub: will + survivability

• Rotation (Core: Stack 3 DEF shred before popping Mifu's 3-stage skill)

Rossi Combo Skill → Chen Qianyu skill to stack shred → Pogranichnik using combo skill for Vulnerability → Mi Fu Stage 1 (gather) → Stage 2 (armor break) → Stage 3 (nuke).

Boss Wave: Pop Mifu's ult for extra burst damage, then cycle back.

• Contract tags (exactly 20 points)

Must-Pick (14 pts)	Enemy DMG +80%
	Self DMG Taken +100%
	Dodge Disabled
	Time Limit Reduced
Fillers	No Healing Orbs on Waves (+3)
	Only 1 DEF Shred Stack per 5s(+3)
AVOID AT ALL COSTS
Enemy All-Resistance Up Operator Primary Stat -40% Ultimate Secondary DMG -100% (bricks Mifu's ult entirely)

 

Low-Investment Team

Snowshine

Ember

Ardelia

Wulfgard

• Strategy:

Main Snowshine to gather mobs. Ember pops ult for shield sustain. Ardelia applies Vulnerability. Wulfgard chips away with anomaly DMG.

Kite in small groups — don't let yourself get surrounded.

• Contract tags

Must-Pick	Enemy DMG +60% DMG Taken Doubled Dodge Disabled
Rest	Normal DMG +100%

 

Enemy Mechanics & Practical Tips

• Mob Waves (1–3)

Prioritize grouping with Mifu's Stage 1 gather. Fire teams can rely on burn DoT to wear down groups — never scatter the mobs.

• Boss "Tidalklast" (Wave 4)
• High Phys DEF / High RES

Phys teams → Stack shred with Rossi.

Fire teams → Burn anomaly ignores RES.

Boss enrages at low HP — pull your main back and let supports kite and chip away.

• Contract tags Reminders

If you pick "Disable Main Character Swap" — you're locked in for the whole run. Make sure your survival unit is in the team.

If you pick "No Healing Orbs" — no auto-regen. You'll need Ember/Ardelia's skills to keep everyone alive.

 

Conclusion

And that's your cheat sheet for breezing through Level 20 trim in this Contingency Contract! Mark your calendars and if you're feeling ambitious, use these teams to grab your safety net and then push all the way to Level 50!
