Environmental Analysis

When selecting Luminous Blessings, prioritize Melt reactions initially, followed by Freeze > Vaporize > Melt based on boss vulnerability phases. This strategy accounts for:

• Cryo DPS requirements in Acts 6 & 10 to counter bosses' high Cryo RES
• Elemental shield breaks in Act 3 (Pyro) and Act 8 (Hydro)

Skirk, Shenhe (C6), Kamisato Ayaka (High Constellation), Wriothesley (High Constellation)

Boss Strategy And Combat Guide

Act 3

Icewind Suite: Nemesis of Coppelius (70% Cryo/Anemo RES) 

• 🛡️ Shield Mechanic: Deploys Ice Shield when flinging Coppelia outward, Avoid wasting burst skills during this phase and prepare fire damage to break the shield in advance. The interval between two shield activations is about 16 seconds, which is enough time to break the shield and deal a burst of damage.

※ Pro Strategy: Use trial Xiangling for shield breaking + any DPS. Capitalize on boss' early-stage vulnerability!

Act 6

Solitary Suanni (70% Hydro/Anemo RES)

• 🌀 Combat Alert: Erratic movements may cause missed attacks. Engage during landing phases!
• ⚠️ Critical Mechanic: When prompted "Freeze the enemy, then Shatter to stun：
  • BOSS gains +200% All Elemental RES
  • Self-applies Hydro aura 
• 🧊 Counterplay:
  1. Apply Cryo → Triggers Freeze ❄️
  2. Trigger Melt/Shatter → Stuns boss + dispels RES buff

※ Pro Tactic: Trial Wriothesley (Trial) solves this effortlessly:

Act 8

Goldflame Qucusaur Tyrant（70% Pyro RES）

• Phase 1 - Aerial Assault: Flies in golden flame form. After second attack, launches 2 Pyro Plumes at your position. Shatter plumes via Elemental Reactions to force low-altitude hovering. Grounded state enables Pyro Shield break → cancels enraged form.

※ Pro Tactic:
Trial Tartaglia (Trial) excels here:

  Bonus: Xingqiu/Yelan can accelerate shield destruction!
