This is our guide for Stygian Onslaught in version Luna 3 / 6.2 of Genshin Impact. Read on to learn about the best teams available for the current cycle of Stygian Onslaught.
Stygian Onslaught Luna 3 Best Characters and Boss Advice
Stygian Onslaught is the hardest endgame content available in Genshin Impact facing against 3 different bosses with harder mechanics. Stygian Onslaught proves to be a challenge for all types of players. Here you can see an overview of the boss mechanics, some general combat advice as well as our recommended team compositions to clear Stygian Onslaught in version Luna 3.
But first, some general gameplay advice.
Co-Op Is Your Friend!
Stygian Onslaught can be cleared in Co-Op to an extent with some limitations. Difficulty 1/2/3 support matchmaking-based Co-Op allowing you to farm artifacts easily at Hard III difficulty while still being able to build up Dire Prestige.
Difficulties above that however require you to Co-Op with people inside your world. Furthermore, Fearless V and Dire VI's rewards are solo only. But you can therefore still gain the Dust of Enlightenment from Menacing IV.
Make Sure to Use Exalted Ones
2 Hours after each phases reset, Exalted Ones become available. These are the 16 characters based on the entire server's completion of Dire VI and grants a buff to your characters too. Providing increases to ATK, DEF and HP if you own that character. Exalted Ones do not give you access to that character!
Exalted ones can change daily too so if a character you own is not currently listed, they may change tomorrow.

Iniquitous Baptist 6.2 Stygian
Enemy Details
Elemental Ring: Polymorph
During battle, the foe will generate Electro, Pyro, and Hydro Rings on the field and start chanting as it prepares to unleash a devastating attack, causing all Elemental Rings to explode after a period of time. Destroy all the Elemental Rings with Elemental Reactions to interrupt the chant and temporarily paralyze the foe.
Elemental Ward: Polymorph
During battle, the foe will sequentially deploy Electro, Pyro, and Hydro Wards to protect itself, while adjusting its attacks to match the corresponding element. Breaking a Ward using Elemental Reactions will force the foe to shift to another elemental form and deploy the corresponding Ward. Breaking all three Wards will cause the foe to be temporarily paralyzed.
Elemental Ward: Frenzied Chaos
Affected by the Ley Line disturbance, after the battle begins, the foe will sequentially deploy Electro, Pyro, and Hydro Wards to protect itself, while adjusting its attacks to match the corresponding element. Breaking a Ward using Elemental Reactions will deal immense DMG to the foe, based on the amount of DMG the Ward absorbed, forcing it to shift to another elemental form and deploy the corresponding Ward. Breaking all three Wards will cause the foe to be temporarily paralyzed.
Combat Advice
- Due to shields being Pyro, Electro and Hydro. Cryo, Dendro and Hydro-based teams are the way to go. Breaking the shields fast is incredibly important.
- When each shield is destroyed, the enemy will lose HP and is then weakened after all 3 shields are destroyed.
Recommended Team Compositions
This is not a comprehensive list of teams. The inclusion or exclusion of any specific team that matches the advantageous elements does not necessarily reflect their strength in the meta.

|---|---|---|---|
| Nefer | Lauma | Aino | Kuki Shinobu |
| Skirk | Escoffier | Furina | Yelan |
| Nefer | Lauma | Yelan | Sangonomiya Kokomi |
| Chasca | Furina | Bennett | Citlali |
Battle-Hardened Iktomisaurus 6.2 Stygian
- Has Advantage: Pyro | Ranged | Crowd-control Characters
- Has a Disadvantage: Melee Characters
Enemy Details
Sonic Shockwave
During battle, the foe periodically leaps up into the air, temporarily hovering in place and continuously unleashing powerful sonic shockwaves.
Frosthail Execution
During battle, the foe will deploy a Cryo Ward to shield itself and leap into the air, dealing continuous damage over a wide area. After a period of time, it will unleash Frosthail Execution, dealing massive AoE damage to all nearby characters. Break the Ward with Elemental Reactions to knock the foe to the ground, dealing a single instance of massive DMG, as well as interrupting its attack preparation.
Torch of Awakening
Three special torches will appear at the edge of the battlefield. While near a torch, hitting opponents with Charged Attacks or Aimed Shots will trigger an additional instance of Pyro DMG.
Sonic Shockwave: Sonorous Sequence
Affected by the Ley Line disturbance, the foe gains increased All RES. During battle, it leaps into the air more frequently, temporarily hovering in place and continuously unleashing powerful sonic shockwaves while airborne.
Frosthail Execution: Sweeping Strike
During battle, the foe will deploy a Cryo Ward for protection and leap into the air to charge up Frosthail Execution. After a period of time, it will unleash Frosthail Execution and instantly defeat your active character. Break the Ward with Elemental Reactions to knock the foe to the ground, interrupt its attack preparation, and deal a single instance of massive DMG based on the amount of DMG the Ward absorbed. While the foe is preparing its attack, all characters in your party will regain Elemental Energy, Fighting Spirit, or Serpent's Subtlety. If, after a period of time, the Ward has not been broken, Frosthail Zones will appear on the ground: Triggering Elemental Reactions to destroy each Frosthail Zone can also weaken and eventually break the Cryo Ward.
Disruption Vortex
Affected by the Ley Line disturbance, when the foe begins charging up Frosthail Execution, a Disruption Vortex will appear on the field, dealing AoE Cryo DMG to both allies and enemies. If the vortex hits the foe, the foe's Anemo RES will be reduced and its Ward will be depleted. Additionally, the Disruption Vortex can also be affected by pull effects, which may alter its movement path.
Combat Advice
- 70% All-Type RES but 110% Cryo Res. So do not use Cryo characters. So RES Shred is needed on your team.
- When the boss levitates and creates their shield, you gain full energy back on all characters.
- If you do not break the Cryo shield fast enough, your on-field character will simply be 1-shot. Breaking the shield however, deals massive damage.
Recommended Team Compositions

|---|---|---|---|
| Durin | Mavuika | Chevreuse | Fischl |
| Durin | Venti | Bennett | Fischl |
| Clorinde | Mavuika | Chevreuse | Iansan |
Special Note: As of the time of writing, you can use a funny Jean fall damage team again. Break the shield quickly while Zhongli's Pillar is out and as the boss is falling, grab them with Jean's Elemental Skill and drag the Iktomisaurus up and down against Zhongli's Pillar which deals significant fall damage each time. Geo Traveler also works.

| Jean | Zhongli | Bennett | Amber |
Experimental Field Generator 6.2 Stygian
- Has Advantage: Plunging-Attack Characters
- Has a Disadvantage: None
Enemy Details
Gravitational Core
During combat, it will channel Ousia energy to unleash a Gravity Reduction Field, while gravitational shockwaves that cannot be dodged continuously erupt on the ground. Characters within this field can jump significantly higher. When active, the Gravity Reduction Field can be shut down by hitting the exposed Ousia core with 3 Pneuma attacks.
Gravitational Core: Critical Depth
Affected by the Ley Lines disturbance, the foe generates a Gravity Reduction Field during combat, greatly increasing characters' jump height. Each time a character reaches a certain height, their ATK is significantly increased for 1.5s. When the field is active, gravitational shockwaves that cannot be dodged periodically erupt on the ground. The strength and frequency of these shockwaves will gain 1 stack of enhancement every 5s. Each Plunging Attack received will remove 1 stack of enhancement.
Resilient Core
Affected by the Ley Line disturbance, the Ousia core grows more robust, and the Gravity Reduction Field will remain active even after receiving 3 Pneuma attacks.
Combat Advice
- Plunging attacks are required to remove stacks of Enhancement that otherwise increase shockwave damage that will take you out.
- +600% ATK buff when you do a large enough Plunging Attack/Jump.
- Some characters cannot trigger this buff. Namely Mavuika's Burst and Flins low-energy Burst.
- Non-plunge characters can still get the +600% ATK buff, they just need to jump between attacks.
