This is our guide for Stygian Onslaught in version Luna 2 / 6.1 of Genshin Impact. Read on to learn about the best teams available for the current cycle of Stygian Onslaught.
Stygian Onslaught Luna 2 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 2.
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.

Stygian Onslaught Luna 2 Bosses and Best Team Compositions
Click below to see each of the 3 available bosses in the current patch Luna 2 Stygian Onslaught phase as well as weaknesses, and the best team compositions to clear easily.
Frostnight Herra
- Has Advantage: High-frequency Elemental DMG | Multi Elemental DMG | Lunar Reaction DMG
- Has a Disadvantage: None
Enemy Details
Gloomveiled
Will enter a Gloomveiled state while in combat: All RES is greatly increased. After taking a certain number of DMG instances, it will exit the Gloomveiled state and change its Elemental Type to the element whose DMG it received the most during the time it was Gloomveiled, thereby gaining the corresponding Elemental DMG Immunity and Elemental Effects.
Purest Moonglow
Lunar Reaction DMG is more effective when breaking the Gloomveiled state. If it has taken more Lunar Reaction DMG when it exits the Gloomveiled state, its Elemental Type will change to Elementless, and it will not gain any Elemental DMG Immunity or Elemental Effects.
Combat Advice
- Will become permanently immune to the element it took the most hits from so careful rotation planning is important to ensure the right element hits the shield most.
- Takes 50 instances of damage to break out of the Gloomveiled state, however, Lunar Reaction DMG counts as multiple instances of damage.
- The boss takes on the element it becomes immune to, allowing for reactions to still take place.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| Flins | Ineffa | Yelan | Sucrose |
| Nefer | Lauma | Aino | Kuki Shinobu |
| Mavuika | Xilonen | Citlali | Bennett |
Battle-Hardened Lightkeeper
- Has Advantage: Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam
- Has a Disadvantage: None
Enemy Details
Wandering Lament
Begins the battle in the "Roaming" state. When its HP is completely depleted, it will enter the "Wild Hunt" state.
Grief-Stricken
When in the Wild Hunt state, even if its HP is reduced to zero, it will regain its HP up to its maximum after a period of time. It can only be defeated when its Max HP is reduced to zero. Drain its HP completely or use Skills enhanced by Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam to send it into a brief Grief-Stricken state. A certain ratio of the DMG dealt to it while in this state will be converted to reduce its Max HP. If you have Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam, this ratio will be increased.
Exiles Returned
When in the Wild Hunt state, Wilderness Exiles will appear periodically. If you fail to defeat all of these exiles within a certain period of time, your foe will perform a harvest, dealing massive AoE DMG and slaughtering the Wilderness Exiles, restoring its own Max HP based on the remaining Max HP of the exiles.
Exiles Surge
When in the Wild Hunt state, Wilderness Exiles will appear periodically. If you fail to defeat all of these exiles within a certain period of time, your foe will perform a harvest, dealing massive AoE DMG and slaughtering the Wilderness Exiles, restoring its own Max HP based on the remaining Max HP of the exiles. Affected by the Ley Line disturbance, the Wilderness Exiles' Max HP is increased, and the ratio at which the foe's Max HP is restored upon harvesting the exiles is higher.
Combat Advice
- This enemy has a really high Frozen RES. He can be frozen but it will wear off very quickly.
- Adds will appear, if these are not defeated the boss will heal themselves based on the remaining HP of the adds.
- Their Grief-Stricken state will depend on if the team has Ascendant Gleam which will impact the Max HP reduction.

Veteran Frost Operative

- Has a Disadvantage: None
Enemy Details
Rapid Kill
Consumes a certain percentage of HP in combat to use Hunt Down: When this hits a character, it restores a certain percentage of the foe's HP and attaches a Bond of Life to the character hit. While Bond of Life is active, the affected character will take continuous DMG. Characters with Bond of Life attached will take increased DMG from this attack.
Bloody Pursuit
Affected by the Ley Line disturbance, the foe possesses greater interruption capabilities and interruption resistance. When preparing to use Hunt Down, it will enter the Bloody Pursuit state, creating a Shield to protect itself. While the Shield is active, the foe will continuously attach Bonds of Life to all characters. After the Shield is broken, the foe will take immense DMG.
Combat Advice
- You have several seconds before their shield goes up, use that time to proc anything like a Favonius/Sacrificial weapon. Shield will regenerate after 15s when broken.
- While the shield is up, your characters will constantly have Bond of Life.
- At higher difficulties, this boss cannot be interrupted.
