Trick Shots, Tricky Lights Stage 1 “A Stormy Encounter on a Stormier Night” walkthrough

Welcome to the first stage of "Trick Shots, Tricky Lights" with the theme "A Stormy Encounter on a Stormier Night." Let's delve into the Special Lighting effects for this mini-event:

• For 12s after using, unleash a Hydro shockwave centred around your active character every 4s. Opponents hit will be dealt Hydro DMG.
• All Cyro DMG dealt by party members will be increased by 60%.

Given these effects, the battlefield dynamics distinctly favour any variation of the Freeze Team. Success hinges on maintaining a consistent application of both Hydro and Cryo elements to capitalize on the Freeze effect.

We recommend that you deploy the trail characters Ayaka and Barbara if you don’t already own a powerful Cry DPS and/or consistent Hydro applicator.
