Stage 3

Complete Stage 3 of Theater of Mechanicus in genshin impact with no more than 20 escaped monsters. Includes recommended characters, mechanics, and mystic arts.

Objective: No more than 20 escaped monsters.

Introduction: This stage is a little tougher because in the later waves, the enemies will start coming from three portals in two different directions. By bolstering up in front of your portal (Blue) first, makes it easier to hit them where both lanes converge, creating a chokepoint.

Walkthrough:

Wave 1

The enemies will come from the purple portal in the middle for this wave so start by placing an Electro Mechanici on the left panel, in front of the blue portal, place a Pyro Mechanici on the panel to the right of it and place a Recovery Mechanici in the middle of both of them so you can gather more Veneficus Sigils if the enemies are defeated inside of it. The Samachurl will sprint towards your portal, keep attacking it with a party member to slow it down.

Wave 2

The enemies will come from the purple portal in the middle and the right for this wave. Now that you have the chokepoint setup, you can start building outwards from it, in this wave start by placing two Pyro Mechanici in the two panels in front of the Recovery Mechanici and two Electro in the panels in front of them, if you don’t have the Veneficus Sigils to purchase them, add them mid wave. The Shieldwall enemies should be attacked by a Claymore user to help break their shields and be wary of the Samachurls as they like to sprint through, attack them to slow them down. Later on try adding a Recovery Mechanici between them.

Wave 3

On this wave, the enemies pour in from all three portals but they all end up at the same place, your chokepoint, again you’ll place another two Pyro Mechanici on the panels to the left of your portal with two more Electro Mechanici to the left of them. Once again the Shieldwall enemies should be attacked by a Claymore user to help break their shields and be wary of the Samachurls as they like to sprint through, attack them to slow them down.
