I finally got to try this event and it’s definitely ridiculous (as event) if you don’t have at least 3 teams with all different characters build. My 3 teams are Childe National, Alhaitham Hyperbloom and Nilou bloom (Nahida is overlapping between Alhaitham and Nilou, so I used a lvl 60 Collei with random Deepwood for Alhaitham’s team instead).

I was struggling the most with the first challenge. Nilou was the only thing I tried who was able to absolutely shred the first round - all other teams I tried made it half through at best. And I knew I needed my Childe team for round 2 or 3. Turns out my Hu Tao came in to save the day by barely being able to clear round 2. I really should try to work on improving that poor girl’s artifacts, she’s sitting on 50% crit rate and can’t seem to get more. =/

The others challenges were comparatively a lot easier than the first one and I was able to just cycle through my 3 teams mentioned above.

I can’t see how newer players would be able to enjoy this however, even if they somehow manage to at least get the primos. The lack of trial characters, who help in at least comfortably getting the first 2 tiers of rewards, makes it worse than it has to be.

Overall I’d really appreciate something like this event but without rewards (!) tied to it and with customizable waves (!) either as permanent domain or for the teapot. This is generally super fun for trying different teams. It’s bad as event though because not being able to get some rewards feels shit, so it’s always going to be too hard or too easy overall. And getting all of the rewards this time is hard, especially considering that you’re never guaranteed good artifacts.
