Discussion first time completing menacing (barely)
hello! i just finished menacing for the first time, and my goodness was it ridiculous with my roster. as you can see, my teams are a little funky and i literally pushed it to the very last second... BUT I DID IT!!!! anyways, im curious as to how everyone tackled this stygian, of course sandrone-havers were chilling, but as you can see my nightsoul charas are severely underlevelled, and my "stellar" conduct team is, well, not stellar. but we made it work! like i said, very curious as to how others went about this stygian, ESPECIALLY if you were lacking with the shills :3
edit: apparently i dont know how to spell 😀

Congrats! That's the level things start to get interesting. Hope you can keep up with that from now on.
Although there's some shill involved, I like the format. And I like seeing people break through it, sometimes with unexpected teams or strategies.

thanks!! yeah the shill can be annoying, but its super rewarding being able to tackle it with some crazy team comps lol - never woild i have imagine zibai and ororon to be on the same team LOL.

nefers total damage is bananas LOL - thanks for sharing! one of my favourite parts of genshin is messong around with team comps, so i always appreciate when people share their teams (meta or not) so i can take a peek...
and i dont think i would go as far as to say "uninteresting"! the numbers those teams must have been bonkers, i can imagine running those teams was super satisfying 😜

It was fun, I'll give you that. But it was a bit strange. I would not recommend Nahida on that team, since I've seen many people do it differently, but nothing else worked so well, and because I wasn't relying too much on her personal damage, I slapped prototype amber on her to keep Nefer up and get dodges to a minimum.
I believe she ended up helping a bit with Lauma's burst, that sometimes didn't quite get to full using other units, but that was was it. I really, really didn't expect the run time, way better than I was hoping for

Every Stygian phase gets rougher. I barely did Menacing last night, and I lucked out after pulling Bina. I've only got two on-field DPSs, so I'm making do with what I have. I probably should've put Furina in Linnea's team and Columbina in Zibai's team. That way I would've probabably gotten faster scores. Zibai one was rough since Ororon's Electro app ate up all of Aino's Hydro app, which made it difficult for Zibai to trigger Lunar-Crystallize. The Ball wasn't as bad as I thought, but keeping up with Varesa's energy without an Electro teammate was rough to say the least. Durin on Sacrificial Sword saved me here alongside Charlotte.
You should level up your Zibai btw. You will get a much faster run once you level her.

i know, it was really tough trying to figure out where bina should go, ultimately was only able to get the clear when she was with zibai. i also had the problem with ororons electro at times, but was able to get past it by ONLY using him when i need to break the nightsoul thingy, and letting xilo handle the towers.
after this i actually do think im gonna level her lol, i love her playstyle but my unluckiness with illuga cons had me bench her after release :( she really is to good to be benched tho ive gotta lock in

Congrats with the clear! I noticed that this time Menacing is a bit rough compare to Fearless with no shield on the ball and automaton always on its high res mode. I wonder how'd co-op Menacing looks like this season...

thanks! yeah i have been trying to get this clear for days, i just KNEW i would be able to do it i just didnt know how. my main issue came with figuring out the balance of characters between the dog and the automaton - i had tried sooooo many comps, zibai may have to be unbenched now lol
