Floor 12 Chamber Information

Chamber 1 First Half

Group A: Keep 2 on field Group B: 1+1+1+1
Eremite Desert Clearwater x4	Eremite Sunfrost x2	Eremite Daythunder x2
Eremite Floral Ring-Dancer x2	Eremite Stone Enchanter x2

Eremite Team Encounter Guide

Enemy Spawn Mechanics:

• Continuously spawns 3 enemies until reserves deplete
• Fixed composition per wave: 2 Melee Aggressors (4-piece Desert Clearwater + 2-piece Sunfrost + 2-piece Daythunder) and 1 Summoner (2-piece Floral Ring-Dancer + 2-piece Stone Enchanter)

Combat Analysis:

• ⚠️ Difficulty: Low overall, but chain-CC disruptions can be frustrating
• ⚔️ Enemy Traits: Highly aggressive behavior, Extreme interruption resistance, Summoner spawns additional units

Optimal Strategy:

• Positioning: Enemies cluster in the central zone → Do not roam!
• Tactic: Maintain central positioning to efficiently eliminate waves as they spawn

Chamber 1 Second Half

Wave 1	Wave 2
Fluid Avatar of Lava x1	Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King x1

Wave 1: Fluid Avatar of Lava

Core Mechanics: Permanently self-applies Pyro aura. High 120% Pyro RES (avoid Pyro DPS).

Critical Threat: Subterranean Dive

• During dive: Becomes immune to targeting (most skills miss)
• Visual cue: Leaves molten pool at dive location
• Counterplay: Pause skill casting until resurface animation completes

Strategic Recommendations:

1. Elemental Avoidance: Use Cryo/Hydro/Electro teams (no Pyro characters)
2. Positional Awareness: Attack immediately after resurfacing from molten pools

Wave 2: Gluttonous Yumkasaur Mountain King (5210k HP, 70% Dendro RES).

• Starts the fight by immediately performing three consecutive spews. Getting hit by all three can instantly down characters; dodge these attacks.
• Throughout the battle, timely apply Pyro to the Blazing Husks on the ground using Pyro DMG to detonate them. This causes explosions that deal significant additional DMG to the Sovereign.

Chamber 2 First Half

Wave 1: Keep 3 on field
Ruin Cruiser x4	Ruin Scout x3	Ruin Destroyer x2
Wave 2
Ruin Drake - Earthguard x3

Wave 1: Spawns 9 Ruin Scouts total (Max 3 active simultaneously)

Note: Frequent repositioning abilities

Wave 2: 3 Ruin Drakes: Earthguard

Key Mechanics:

• All enemies spawn at central arena point
• Minimal difficulty - functions as gear/level check. Virtually any team composition works - no detailed tactics required

Chamber 2 Second Half

Wave 1	Wave 2
Burning-Aflame Wayob Manifestation x1	Jadeplume Terrorshroom x1

Wave 1: Burning-Aflame Wayob Manifestation
It will unleash a trial domain that drains our energy. From the start until the trial activates, you generally only have time to use 2 character Bursts. Charge energy fully in Chamber 1 and activate Bursts immediately at the start. Breaking its 1.51M HP white shield within 13 seconds refunds energy. It absorbs energy—use quick fingers if you can! If not, use skill-spamming characters or characters like Skirk and Marvuika who don't require energy.

Wave 2: Jadeplume Terrorshroom (Dendro)
Fight normally. It has 2.7M HP.

Chamber 3 First Half

Wave 1

The Last Survivor of Tenochtzitoc x1

Special Mechanics:

• Will summon 3 hats, hide in one of them and quickly switch their positions. If the hat he is hiding in takes Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged DMG, will pause switching.

• The hat's has 40% HP. Its all RES greatly increases except Hydro and Electro, and takes 300% increased Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged DMG.

• Defeat the hat he is hiding in to weaken him (all RES massively decreases). Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged DMG is significantly more efficient.

• Upon being weakened, will lose HP. The more Hydro, Electro, Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged DMG the hat took, the mre HP he loses.

Combat Strategy:
This is a purely mechanically-focused enemy with relatively low HP. Average builds can clear it, but Hydro-Electro reactions (Electro-Charged) are essential to break its mechanics by attacking the "hat-like body" weak point. The main challenge is that many players struggle to identify the true body. This can significantly prolong the clear time.

Solution: Look for the part with a "ghostly face" on top of the hat—that’s the true body. Once found, attack it with Hydro-Electro reactions to deplete its stagger gauge, causing the enemy to paralyze and collapse.

Chamber 3 Second Half

Wave 1

Secret Source Automaton: Configuration Device x1

Special Mechanics:

• In normal state, all RES is increased to 60%, which is 20% higher than Consecrated Beasts.

• Will perform Ult after 40s. Using Nightsoul will make Ult come earlier. Ult creates Solid Phlogiston pillars.

• Climb and attack the 2 cores on the pillars to interrupt the Ult, causing it to lose 15% HP, and greatly reduce all RES.

Combat Strategy: This enemy primarily relies on Nata characters to drain its Night Soul gauge (the circular gauge beneath its name). Once fully charged, the enemy reduces its resistance and swiftly enters "Twin Pillars" mode.

Mechanic Break: Climb either pillar and hit the mechanism on top with any attack to disable the enemy, causing it to stunned and incapacitated.

Climb-Capable Characters:
Characters with vertical mobility work, including: Xianyun, Kazuha, Xilonen, Mavuika, Keqing, Oloron

Floor 12 Recommended Teams

Best Team Comps

First Half

Environmental Buff: "Characters' Electro-Charged and Lunar-Charged DMG increased by 75%."

Since Electro-Charged damage itself is low, Ineffa is the primary beneficiary.
For Chamber 3 (First Half), Electro-Charged teams are strongly recommended to break enemy mechanics.

Team Setup:

• For Electro DPS teams: Add Xingqiu or Yelan
• For Hydro DPS teams: Add Ineffa or Kuki Shinobu

This effortlessly meets first-half requirements.

First Half
Sample Teams
Neuvillette	Furina	Xilonen	Citlali
Neuvillette	Furina	Ineffa	Kaedehara Kazuha
Ayato	Furina	Kuki Shinobu	Xilonen
Ineffa	Yelan	Xilonen	Xingqiu
Ineffa	Xilonen	Furina	Fischl
Varesa	Yelan	Xingqiu	Chevreuse
Raiden Shogun	Kaedehara Kazuha	Xilonen	Yelan

Second Half

Environmental Buff: "Characters' Nightsoul-aligned DMG dealt to opponents increased by 75%."

This strongly benefits Natlan characters, especially DPS types: Varesa, Mavuika, Oloron, Chasca, Mualani, Kinich.

Elemental Considerations (Chambers 1–3):

• ❌ Avoid Pyro/Dendro Main DPS for Chambers 1–2 (enemies have high Pyro/Dendro RES).
• ⭕ Other elements are flexible.

Chamber 3 Climbing Mechanics:
If your Main DPS lacks vertical mobility (e.g., jumping, flight, teleportation), include these supports:

Mobility Type	Characters
Elevation	Oloron, Xilonen, Ifa,, Kazuha, Xianyun (flat-ground ascent)
Pillar Climbing	Xianyun, Kachina, Mavuika (scales Solid Phlogiston Pillars)
Construct Creation	Zhongli, Geo Traveler, Albedo (summon climbable objects)

This effortlessly meets first-half requirements.

Sample Teams
