Brute force has always been a viable option to defeat most Honkai Star Rail boss enemies. It might also work for Aventurine, but you might want to secure a proper victory against this boss. This calls for a dedicated setup.

Since the Aventurine boss in Star Rail is weak against Physical, Ice, and Lightning elements, the following teams should work best against him:

• Acheron+ Pela+ Silver Wolf+ Fu Xuan
• Jing Yuan+ Ruan Mei+ Sparkle+ Fu Xuan
• Jingliu+ Bronya+ Ruan Mei+ Fu Xuan

The Acheron team in particular is objectively a lot stronger against Aventurine, as her multi-hit Ultimate serves as the perfect nuke for defeating the bosses. Additionally, Fu Xuan is the perfect sustainer for the specified setups, as she can protect her allies from a lot of the burst damage unleashed by this new contender.

Most Penacony characters in Honkai Star Rail possess a unique set of abilities, and so does Aventurine. The boss form further enhances his combat prowess, which is quite difficult to deal with.

Here are some strategies that will help you beat the Aventurine boss:

• The battle against Ten Stonehearts: Aventurine of Stratagems features two phases, in which he has access to a few basic movesets that deal with AoE Imaginary DMG. So, you don’t have to worry about your characters getting insta-killed as long as they have sufficient defensive attributes.
• His gambling mode is the most challenging to deal with. Hence, the key here is to end the battle as swiftly as possible with the nuking abilities of DPS units specified under the Teams section.
• Save up your character's energy for the big counterplay whenever necessary.

How to win gamble against Aventurine boss

In the first phase, the Aventurine boss challenges one of your characters in a gambling mode consisting of two dice. His ability grows further in the second phase, where he summons four dice while challenging your entire team.

In the gambling mode, Aventurine’s number appears on the right, leaving the left panel for your team. With that information in mind, watch out for the following outcomes:

• Number higher than Aventurine: You win the gamble to obtain the Ultimate and DMG boosts.
• Equal number: This signifies a draw where either side gains nothing at all.
• Number less than Aventurine: He wins the gamble and deals massive damage to the losing character.

This attack can be extremely lethal, but with a proper game plan, you should be able to avoid getting hit altogether.

• You can hit all the dice with an AoE attack. This will yield higher numbers.
• For single-target characters, save up their Ultimates to pair them with other attacks to improve the gambling odds.
