Dance of Resolute Will Stage 2 Guide – Rending a Wall of Fire and Thunder
Dance of Resolute Will Basics
This event is a mini-combat event. Players have to form two groups of up to four characters to take down the stage's enemies. The goal is to gather as many points as possible in each stage. Players receive rewards for getting 2,000, 4,000, and 6000 points. Getting 6,000 points or more will also reward the player with every lower-tier reward. As such, the goal in each stage is to get at least 6,000 points. To make it easier to get points, this guide will assume that the player will select the Outstanding difficulty, which has a Score Multiplier of x4.
The event has two main gimmicks. The first is that when making a party, players can set one character to appear in both parties. Normally, the player will need to field eight unique characters. In this event, players only need to field seven, with one of them being present in both teams. Players can put any character here and can change their order in the party.
The second gimmick is the Heightened Verve buffs. These are buffs that activate after the player meets each round's Blade Dance objectives. The Blade Dance objectives are different for each party, so players will have to build around them to activate the Heightened Verve buffs. It's also important to note that when Heightened Verve is active, different opponent types will spawn. Defeating said opponents will give the player more points.
Now, let's dive into our guide for Stage 2 of Dance of Resolute Will

Possible Team Composition
Round 1 incentivizes players to run an Overloaded comp, while the second one is more lenient and wants the player to run any comp that uses Pyro or Electro. Here are some possible team compositions for each round.
- Round 1
- Chevreuse (Trial or Own)
- Yanfei
- Fischl
- Bennett
- Chevreuse is perhaps the game's best Overloaded support, and as such would do well in this team composition. If the player has other built characters, such as Yoimiya as a replacement for Yanfei, or Yae Miko as a replacement for Fischl, then that's fine as well. If the player has their own Overloaded team composition that they are more comfortable using, then they can use those as well.
- Round 2
- Chevreuse (Trial or Own)
- Shinobu
- Sara
- Xiangling
- Round 2 is more lenient when it comes to team compositions, as it only requires a Pyro- or Electro-related reaction. Players can still opt for Overloaded since they have access to Chevreuse. However, players can instead opt to share an Electro sub-DPS between the two rounds and run an Aggravate or Hyperbloom team composition in this round. If you want to run Aggravate, then just bring in two Dendro and two Electro characters. If they want to run Hyperbloom instead, replace one of the Electro characters with a Hydro one. This will allow players to still achieve the Blade Dance Objectives, while also activating the Heightened Verve buff.
Of course, these are just the possible team compositions for each round. Should the player have better ideas that work better for them, then there's no harm in using those teams.
