| Second Half (F2P Suggestions) | Pyro (Xiangling) |  Cryo (Kaeya)*** | Any | Any |
| **Noelle is particularly good as she is a Geo Claymore character (great for shields) that can also fill the healing role. ***Chongyun is great as his Claymore will also help break shields |

Ley Line Disorder
- Characters on the field will continuously accumulate Sheer Cold, and will continually lose HP after Sheer Cold reaches its limit.
- Opponents will attack the Ruin Braziers, preventing them from diminishing the effects of Sheer Cold in the area. Deactivated Ruin Braziers will restart after a while.
Simply stay near the Ruin Braiziers (totems) to reduce Sheer Cold.
