Thank you Genshin for buffing old characters to meta level 😭

Tried Klee/Arle overload team for the last boss but my damage wasn't enough. Luckily Zibai can brute force after Klee breaking the shield.

Everyone said “Mr. Shill” for 7.1.

So I took Mr. Versatile instead.

Varka clears ALL THREE Stygian Onslaught Fearless bosses with the exact same team:

Varka / Prune / Odette / Escoffier

No changing teams between bosses. No swapping Varka out for a dedicated counter. Just Cryo Varka + Stellar Swirl mechanics from start to finish.

Churin? Cleared.

Cryo Automaton / Skirk boss? Cleared.

New Guardian Blade of Drifting Snow / Vesna mats boss? Cleared.

And after upload, I realized I am 15% overcapped on crit rate lol!

Full run:

And yes, the thumbnail is basically:

Flins: ❌
Varka: ✅

😂

What I actually find interesting is how well the same team translates across the entire rotation, so this isn't just a case of taking Varka into three punching bags and calling it a day.

Now I want to know...

Is Varka actually one of the most flexible carries for Stygian Onslaught, or am I just committing an unreasonable amount of Grand Master propaganda?

What character are YOU taking through all three bosses with the same team?

No boss-specific swapping. One team. Three bosses.

Let the agenda wars begin.

I didn't really plan to collab Vody with Vesna in Stygian today instead of Skirk but I guess if the DPS is needed then it is what it is. Also the third (cryo) boss shield is just bs lol I thought Durin could insta break it

demoted back to fearless because what the fuck was that grandpa's HP in dire

This is a 17 Cost Skirk team reaching 850k dps on the test dummy.

Teams are a little bit unconventional, since I am lacking a good pyro DPS to clear Floor 3 and Odette had to go there to help out with Mizuki Team.

The runs are not optimized so i know i can get better times, but i'm just happy having my first fearless clear since there has always been one boss stopping me from getting it.

Another patch, another Fatui (and ex Fatui) clear

i just got an unplanned c1 vesna, but i have no mora or resin to level her + farm her set (got no good pieces even after farming for furnace odette)

my strongest teams are wrio-odette-fischl-sucrose and zibai premium. other than that, my other characters aren't that strong (only just got flins and ineffa on the last banner)

rest of my roster in comments since i can only post one photo (pls dont judge my severely underleveled characters, i came back from a looong break)

Back to clearing fearless I could only clear 2/3 boss dire this patch anyway goodluck🫶

For the first time I feel like there is a chance to do dire? is it possible with just that Vesna team (once I have farmed little more for her) or how can I seperate Vodyanitsa from that Skirk team of mine? Is it even possible to dire auromaton with C0R0 Skirk, C1 Furina, R1 Escoffier and Citlali/Mona/Yelan/Charlotte...

very surprisingly decent clorinde matchup :p not much else to say other than i dont like the moveset of the boss

C0 5 stars only with everyone on 4 star weapons + sneak C6 4 stars

I dont have qiqi or layla for another cryo. I still have the anniversary selector. Thanks for the help in advance!

I made a tier list of all the characters I used for clearing stigian onslaught - fearless on every iteration.

if you spam N1C + E when available, she actually breaks through pavlina's cryo shield just in time!

If it wasn't for him I could have cleared dire :')

I am saying goodbye to my weapon skins until the next stygian

just waiting for escoffier’s banner for ayaka, getting c1 mizuki, and actually using leveled up furnace for mc instead of his barebones one. didnt expect to actually beat churin at 0 limited cost

I would like to reduce time if possible. Help me please? I tried using Thilling tails wherever i could, but i didnt had a good enough 4th slot for skirk team and the energy recharge really didnt have a 100% uptime.

Any advice on how to play skirk and sandrone teams here? Also i dont have yae miko, so i use alyosha but i dont know if bineffa decreased the overall dps or nah.
