Complete Stage 2 of Theater Mechanicus in genshin impact. Learn recommended party, mechanici, and Wondrous Sticks to counter Hydro/Anemo or Hydro/Cryo bans.
Walkthrough
- 1Wave 1: Place four Electro and four Pyro Mechanici on the panels nearest to the enemy portals. Position one Electro in the middle, closest to the bottom of the stairs, then another in the middle panel directly behind it. Place two Pyro Mechanici on the panels in front of the Electro ones, on both sides. Then, place another two Pyro Mechanici behind the rear Electro Mechanici. Finally, place one Electro Mechanicus between the two Pyro Mechanici on either side. Save Veneficus Points for later waves. Enemies are Hilichurls.
- 2Wave 2: Add another two Pyro and two Electro Mechanici behind the first eight. Place one Pyro and one Electro Mechanici on the panels around the hole, and place another two on the opposite side. Save Veneficus Points. Enemies are Ice Shield Hilichurl Guards.
- 3Wave 3: Place the last two Mechanici, which are two more Pyro, at the back, behind the Electro Mechanici either side. Enemies include Rock Shield Hilichurl Guards, Rock Shieldwall Mitachurls, Geo Samachurls (Fleet-Footed Trait), Wooden Shield Hilichurl Guards, Wooden Shieldwall Mitachurls, and Dendro Samachurls (Fleet-Footed Trait). Use an Anemo character to push/pull/throw any Samachurls that get through the Mechanici. Spend all Veneficus Points on Wondrous Sticks. For Pyro Mechanici, upgrade Beacon (range), Wildfire (speed), and Embers (ATK up). If Pyro Orb, Magma, and Inflammation appear, use them. For Electro Mechanic, upgrade Blitz (range), Thunderstrike (speed), and Thunderstorm (ATK up). Bombardier and Vengeance are also top choices, with Jolt being useful. Keep upgrading Mechanici as you gain Veneficus Points.
