Thelxie's Fantastic Adventures is one of the events added to Genshin Impact on Version 4.2. The event features the diver Freminet in his journey to create Thelxie for his client. In making Thelxie, he will require the Traveler's help with some things. One such thing is Purgation Counterstrike. If you're stuck in the event, don't worry. Here is our guide for Stage 2 of the Purgation Counterstrike event in Genshin Impact.
Purgation Counterstrike Stage 2 Guide – Poem of Thunder Intertwined
The event ends on December 11, 2023, at 3:59 AM server time. Make sure to finish the event and collect all of the rewards before the event ends.
Purgation Counterstrike Basics
Purgation Counterstrike is the combat event for the ongoing event. Players have to form a group 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 Big Baddie difficulty, which has a Score Multiplier of x4.
Each stage has a special gimmick, which is in the form of Thelxie's “Water Imp's Chanson”. The Water Imp's Chanson is a special attack that the player can use, originating from Thelxie in the middle of the stage. This changes at every stage. Additionally, to help with team creation, each stage has two pre-built Trial Characters that the player can bring along. The player cannot field two of the same character.
Now, let's dive into our guide for Stage 2 of Purgation Counterstrike
Purgation Counterstrike Stage 2 Guide
Water Imp's Chanson: Thunderous Poetry
- Prince Thelxie unleashes a Thunderous Loop, dealing Electro DMG to nearby opponents, and conferring the following buffs on all nearby characters in the party: Current Elemental Burst CD is decreased by 40%. After the Thunderous Loops has been released, for the next 12s, all characters' ATK is increased by 40% and Energy Recharge is increased by 60% for 8s after the character uses their Elemental Burst.
Stage Enemies
- Ruin Drake: Earthguard
- Ruin Grader
- Ruin Guard
- Ruin Scout
- Ruin Cruiser
- Ruin Destroyer
Available Trial Characters
- Raiden Shogun
- Al Haitham
Possible Team Composition
Based on the fact that Water Imp's Chanson deals Electro DMG, as well as the fact that Raiden Shogun and Al Haitham are the Trial Characters, it's safe to assume that the game wants the player to run Spread, Aggravate, or Hyperbloom. Here are some possible team compositions for each one:
- Aggravate/Spread
- Raiden Shogun (Trial or Own)
- Al Haitham (Trial or Own)
- Dendro Character
- Kiara, Traveler, Collei for F2P
- Nahida if the player has them
- Electro Character
- Fischl, Shinobu for F2P
- Cyno or Yae Miko if the player has them
- This team will focus on Catalyzing, then moving on to Spread and Aggravate. Always make sure to apply Dendro on the enemy to continuously apply the Catalyze debuff on enemies. Use Thunderous Poetry on cooldown, or when you're about to do a full burst combo.
- Hyperbloom
- Raiden Shogun (Trial or Own)
- Al Haitham (Trial or Own)
- Off-field Hydro Applicator
- Xingqiu, Barbara for F2P
- Furina or Yelan if the player has them
- Off-field Dendro applicator
- Kiara, Dendro Traveler for F2P
- Nahida if the player has them
- First, create Dendro Seeds using your Hydro and Dendro characters. Then, using Raiden Shogun's Skill, apply Electro on them to trigger Hyperbloom reactions. Use Thunderous Poetry on cooldown, or when you're about to do a full burst combo.
