Stage 4

Complete Stage 4 of Theater Mechanicus in genshin impact with no more than 20 escaped monsters. Features recommended characters, mechanici, 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.

Strategy:

Wave 1: The enemies will come from both of the purple portals and they’ll meet in the middle in front of your portal, this is the chokepoint for this map. Start by placing two Electro Mechanicis on the middle panels, in front of the blue portal, then place two Pyro Mechanicis on the panels either side of the Electros. Attack the enemies, preferably with a Claymore or an Anemo character to slow them down and keep them at bay whilst your Mechanici put in the work. The Hilichurl Berserkers like to sprint through and should be the priority for this wave.

Wave 2: Now that you have the chokepoint setup, you can start by placing Mechanici nearer to the enemies portals. Start by placing one Hydro and one Cryo Mechanic together on the panels nearest to your portal but on the right lane, then, head over to the left lane and replicate the same positions but place a Pyro and an Electro Mechanici. This time the Samachurls will be the priority as they like to sprint through.

Wave 3: On this wave, do the same as the last wave but switch the lanes. So, put a Cryo and Hydro Mechanici in front of the Electro and Pyro Mechanici on the left lane and then place an Electro and Pyro Mechanici in front of the Cryo and Hydro on the right lane to complete the setup for this wave. Again, make sure to slow down the Samachurl and shoot the Mitachurls in the head with an Archer to make them flinch.
