Stage 5

Complete Stage 5 of Theater Mechanicus in genshin impact with no more than 25 escaped monsters. Learn recommended characters, mechanics, and strategy.

Objective: No more than 25 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:

You start this wave off with the enemies coming from the top portal, moving straight down the middle until they split off to both your portals. By placing two Electro and two Pyro Mechanici nearest to the portal they come from, you can defeat them before they split. Having a Recovery Mechanici in the middle of them yields you more Veneficus Sigils. Attack the Samachurls to slow them down as they like to sprint through.

Wave 2:

On this wave, the enemies will just come from the bottom portal and then split in the middle and then head to both of your portals. Place two Electro and two Pyro Mechanici on the panels nearest to the portal that the enemies will come from with the Electro being the ones in front and the Pyro behind them. Place another Recovery Mechanici in the middle for more Veneficus Sigils. Attack the enemies with your party members to slow them down, use Claymore attacks for the shield enemies and elemental attacks preferably Cryo on the other groups.

Wave 3:

On this wave, the enemies come from both portals and split in the middle and head to both of your portals. Replace both of the Recovery Mechanici for the Mysticus Mechanici: Fulfilment, this will buff the damage of your other Mechanici by 75%. Add four Physical Attack Mechanici and place them in pairs in front of each of your portals, aiming towards the middle of the arena. Shieldwall enemies should be attacked by a Claymore user to help break their shields, and be wary of the Samach.
