Team compositions for Stygian Onslaught in Genshin Impact 5.7

Battlefield 1: Hydro Tulpa

The Hydro Tulpa boss is weak to Pyro, and is immune to Hydro DMG. Keeping this in mind, you can use the following teams to challenge and defeat it in Stygian Onslaught:

1) Mavuika, Xilonen, Citlali, Bennett

Mavuika's premium team is the top choice for this boss. Not only does Mavuika dish out incredible amounts of frontloaded damage, she can also quickly destroy the half-Tulpas spawned by the Hydro Tulpa at intervals during the challenge. Citlali can also be used to Freeze the half-Tulpas efficiently.

2) Arlecchino, Fischl, Chevreuse, Xiangling

Arlecchino is a Pyro DPS unit with high attack speed, making a team built around her a good choice for fighting the Hydro Tulpa. Fischl's presence in this team ensures that Overloaded reactions are triggered, while Xiangling is a great sub-DPS unit who can boost the team's overall DMG. It is recommended to use Chevreuse in this team composition, but she can also be replaced by Bennett, in case you don't have her.

3) Mavuika, Citlali, Iansan, Bennett

This is another Mavuika team that you can use in this battlefield. This team is especially viable for higher difficulty levels, such as Fearless and Dire. Both Iansan and Bennett can buff Mavuika, and help her deal enough damage to defeat the Hydro Tulpa in under two minutes.

Battlefield 2: Lava Dragon Statue

For this boss, you will need a team that features Pyro units. Refrain from using Cryo and Hydro characters for the Lava Dragon Statue, as Cryo and Hydro attacks increase the boss' All RES.

You can use the following teams to defeat the Lava Dragon Statue boss in Stygian Onslaught:

1) Kinich, Emilie, Xiangling, Bennett

A Burning team with Kinich as the main DPS will help you quickly defeat the Lava Dragon Statue. Since this boss requires constant Pyro application in its first two phases, Xiangling and Bennett can provide off-field Pyro application (alongside Emilie providing off-field Dendro application), while Kinich stays on field and whittles down the enemy's HP swiftly.

---

2) Varesa, Iansan, Xiangling, Chevreuse

Even though Dendro is one of the recommended elements for this challenge, you can use a Varesa DPS team without any Dendro units. Varesa is a very strong damage dealer by herself, and she can easily defeat the Lava Dragon Statue boss, provided the support characters are well-built.

---

3) Arlecchino, Emilie, Nahida, Bennett

Another Burning team that you can use to clear this challenge is one with Arlecchino, Emilie, Nahida, and Bennett. While this boss does have increased Pyro RES in its second phase, the overall damage Arlecchino deals easily beats out the tiny window of disadvantage she has during the boss' second phase. Emilie's presence in this team is crucial, as she acts as an off-field sub-DPS unit, constantly triggering Burning reactions.

Battlefield 3: Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device

This boss is not only weak to Cryo, but it also specifically needs Cryo Elemental attacks in order to take damage. You can use these teams to fight the Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device in Stygian Onslaught:

1) Skirk, Escoffier, Furina, Shenhe

The recently released 5-star Cryo unit Skirk is one of the best characters to fight this boss with. Not only are her attacks very strong, they are also incredibly fast, which means that the Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device will not have much of a window to keep gaining Flow Momentum. Escoffier is Skirk's best support, and Furina and Shenhe can also significantly buff Skirk's overall damage.

---

2) Ayaka, Escoffier, Furina, Shenhe

In case you don't have Skirk, you can clear this challenge with Ayaka as the main DPS as well. Since Escoffier shreds up to 55% enemy Cryo RES, she can help Ayaka deal more damage to the boss. Shenhe is one of the best supports for Ayaka, and cannot be replaced in this team.

---

3) Wriothesley, Escoffier, Furina, Dahlia

A team with Wriothesley as the hypercarry can also work while fighting the Secret Source Automaton: Overseer Device. Furina and Dahlia can buff Wriothesley's DMG and ATK SPD, respectively. However, note that this team might not be as effective in the higher difficulty levels such as Fearless and Dire.
