HoYoverse has released a new event called Feast of the Departed Warriors in Genshin Impact, where travelers have to fight different overworld bosses. Day one challenge of the event features the Thunder Manifestation. Players can increase the difficulty level of the battle by providing several buffs to the enemy and increasing the "Difficulty Multiplier" to obtain a high score and win rewards such as Primogems and Mora.

Since the enemy in the first part of the new event is the Thunder Manifestation, which is a pure Electro elemental lifeform, it is advised to bring Pyro, Dendro, and Cryo characters or long-ranged DPS units. Here are some of the best teams to clear the Day one challenge:

• Yoimiya + Zhongli + Yun Jin + Yelan/Xingqiu
• Ganyu + Zhongli/Layla + Bennett + Xiangling
• Yelan + Xingqiu + Xiangling + Bennett
• Childe + Xiangling + Kazuha + Bennett
• Wanderer + Yelan/Xingqiu + Bennett + Faruzan

An important part of this event is that travelers can select up to three Tempo buffs before entering the battle. These buffs will entirely depend on the teams picked for the challenge, so make sure to pick the right one. For example, teams like Yoimiya Vaporize, Childe International, and Wanderer Hypercarry can benefit from the buff that increases Normal Attack DMG and ATK SPD.

Luckily, travelers can also use consumable items in the event, such as food and potions, to increase the party's damage. The NRE gadget is also available, so one won't have to worry about healing and reviving a unit. Once again, the potion buffs will mostly depend on the team, but players are advised to use the items that give them an increased CRIT Rate and more ATK boost.
