The recent Inazuma launch introduced two juicy new artifact sets that haveGenshin Impactplayer’s Resin in a chokehold:Shimenawa’s ReminiscenceandEmblem of Severed Fate. These performance-enhancing items can make or break some of the best characters inGenshin Impact, including new faces such as the Pyro bow-wielder Yoimiya and classic Spiral Abyss essentials like Xingqiu and Mona. Both powerful sets are potential rewards for defeating Inazuma’s most-frequented Abyssal domain: Momiji-Dyed Court.

Momiji-Dyed Court can be challenging, especially for those of a lower Adventure Rank. Electro bosses were once few and far between, but the violent landscape of the Raiden Shogun’s wilderness has welcomedseveral violet-faced atrocitiesinto the fold. Bookmark the following guide for a breakdown of best team compositions and how to maximize their potential in Momiji-Dyed Court.

Ordinarily, Melt or Reverse-Melt cannot be triggered on Electro Slimes: Xiangling and Chongyun are the exceptions. If Xiangling has Pyronado active inChongyun’s SkillAoE, her speedy polearm jabs are just fast enough for that very brief moment in which the Pyro or Cryo application remains.

Keep this in mind when subbing that duo throughout the different levels, asElectro Slimesare present in all of them.Sucroseis there for crowd control and herElemental Masterybuff. Viridescent Venerer on Sucrose causes resistance shred, though it may be difficult to Swirl the desired element with the abundance of Electro in this domain. Replace Chongyun and Diona withFischlandXinyanfor anOverloadalternative.

No Anemo character? No problem.Crowd controlis essential in Autumn Hunt I, with a total of 13 enemies eager to cause interruption. Newer players embarking on this early dive into Artifact farming might not have Sucrose, Venti, or Kazuha, but Geo Traveler and Noelle are trustworthy alternatives.

Geo Traveler has their own form of crowd control with their mountainous Burst – concentrating the Hilichurls inside this rocky sculpture over aFlame Boonpanel will allow you to hit a substantial group withXingqiu’s Skill, then pick them offwith instantVaporizereactionsviaYoimiya’s (or Yanfei’s) SkillandXingqiu’s Burst.

Noelle’s shield will protect fragile fighters fromprojectilesand her Burst has a wide arc capable of decimating opponents blocked in from Geo Traveler’s Burst. Allow Archaic Petra Geo Traveler toCrystallizea Pyro-infected enemy and pick up the shard before activating Yoimiya’s Skill or Yanfei’s Burst for an extra Elemental DMG bonus.

Enemies:

Party Buffs:ATK + 25% (Pyro Resonance), 0.04% Elemental DMG Bonus x Elemental Mastery (Kazuha), ATK increase (Bennet’s Burst), ATK + 20% for 12s (4 PC Noblesse Oblige), Enemy Elemental RES – 40% for 10s (Viridescent Venerer)

Potential Buffs:Enemy Pyro RES – 15% for 6s (Xiangling C1), 15% Pyro DMG Bonus (Xiangling C6), Elemental Mastery + 200 (Kazuha C2)

Overloadis simple with this arrangement of foes: Xiangling’s Pyronado and Gouba are easily swirled by Kauzha or Sucrose with immediate reaction results.Surround Yanfei with Xiangling’s flamesand Bennet’s Burst after gathering enemies with an Anemo rep, activate her Burst on aFlame Boonand quickly delete any survivors.

Superconduct Team

Party Buffs:Enemy Phys RES – 40% for 12s (Superconduct), Affected by Electro for 40% less time (Cryo Resonance), CRIT Rate vs Cryo-affected enemies + 15% (Cryo Resonance), Enemy Phys RES decreased (Eula), Enemy Cryo RES decreased (Eula), ATK + 20% for 12s (4 PC Noblesse Oblige)

Despite the recommended elements of Pyro and Cryo in Momiji-Dyed Court, Melt reactions are difficult to set up with so much electricity flying around.Superconductis the ideal reactionfor physical carry Eula. Kaeya’sGlacial Waltzis an excellent Superconduct prompter thatsnapshotson the Frost Boon panels, and Beidou’s shield boasts250% Electro DMG absorption.

Beidou’s main role in this team is to shield from slimes and apply Electro to the remaining Hilichurl/Mitachurl opponents. Mona may assist with Electro-charged infusions, holding Noblesse Oblige for the party, and helping Eula freeze the Mitachurl before she shatters it. The slimes won’t freeze, soC4 Xinyanor Bennet are great alternatives provided they don’t overwrite Superconduct with Overload. IfRosaria is C6, replace Kaeya to take advantage of her Phys RES shred.

Party Buffs:2x DMG (Melt), 1.5x DMG (Reverse-Melt), ATK + 25% (Pyro Resonance), Enemy Phys RES – 40% for 12s (Superconduct), Affected by Electro for 40% less time (Cryo Resonance), CRIT Rate vs Cryo-affected enemies + 15% (Cryo Resonance), ATK + 20% for 12s (4 PC Noblesse Oblige), CRIT Rate Buff (Rosaria’s Talent), ATK Buff (Bennet’s Burst), Physical DMG + 15% (Xinyan’s Skill/Talent)

Potential Buffs:Enemy Phys RES - 15% for 12s (Xinyan C4), Enemy Phys RES - 20% for 10s (Rosaria C6)

This hybrid team softens the severity of Electro DMG while increasing the party’sCRIT Rate and ATK. ConcentratedCryo and Pyro applicationwill quickly break the Electro Abyss Mage’s shield, with the AoE Bursts incinerating the surrounding slimes.

OverloadandSuperconductapply to the slimes, whileReverse-MeltandMeltare available once the Lawachurl’s and Abyss Mage’s shields are down. C4 Xinyan could be elevated to Sub DPS with 4 PC Retracing Bolide alongside DPS Phys Kaeya, Eula, or C6 Rosaria.

Party Buffs:2x DMG (Melt), 1.5x DMG (Reverse-Melt), ATK + 25% (Pyro Resonance), ATK Buff (Bennet’s Burst), ATK + 20% for 12s (4 PC Noblesse Oblige), CRIT Rate + 12% for 8s (Hu Tao’s Talent), Normal ATK Speed + 8% (Chongyun’s Skill/Talent), Cryo RES – 10% for 8s (Chongyun’s Skill/Talent), Enemy Elemental RES – 20% (Zhongli’s Skill), Enemy Physical RES – 20% (Zhongli’s Skill), ATK + 20% & Shield + 30% for 3s (Tenacity of the Milileth)

Hu Tao and Chongyun createMelt/Reverse-Meltreactions withBlood BlossomsandChongyun’s Skill, occupying Hu Tao’s downtime. Draw the enemies to aFlame Booncorner and activate Zhongli’sJade Shieldinside Chongyun’s Skill field to start Tenacity of the Milileth; switch to Xiangling’s Skill/Burst, and finally, let Hu Tao apply Cryo with her Normal attacks untilshe can re-infuse with Pyro. Zhongli’s trusty shield will protect Hu Tao without weakening herlow HP bonuses, while simultaneously damaging theresistanceof nearby foes.

Buffs:2x DMG (Melt), 1.5x DMG (Reverse-Melt), ATK + 25% (Pyro Resonance), Elemental Burst increases party ATK by 20% for 12s (Noblesse Oblige), Elemental RES – 40% for 10s (Viridescent Venerer), ATK bonus (Bennet’s Burst), 0.04% Elemental DMG Bonus x EM for 8s (Kazuha)

Potential Buffs:Party Elemental Mastery + 200 (Kazuha C2), 15% Pyro DMG Bonus (Bennet C6), increased ATK buff (Bennet C5)

This Pyro-Cryo-Anemo-Pyro combination is a classic team most players already have built in some form or another. With only four enemies,melee characterswith complementary elements like Diluc and Kaeya synergize perfectly.

ActivateBennet’s Burstbetween both Flame and Frost Boon panels (if possible), thenKaeya’s Burst(on the Frost Boon portion) tosnapshotthe 60% Cryo DMG, Bennet’s ATK buff, and Noblesse Oblige 20% ATK increase simultaneously. Switch toDilucand move to the Bennet-enhancedFlame Boonpanel, eliminating the slimes.

Move on to the Lawachurl until the Abyss Mage blinks closer, then quickly weaken its shield with Diluc’s Skill, Kaeya’s Skill, then Diluc’s Burst. UseKazuhato absorb the residual Pyro, and his Skill should break the remaining Lawachurl and Abyss Mage shields. TriggerKaeya’s Burstagain and apply Cryo, thenKazuha’s Burstfor enhanced Swirl damage and decreased Cryo resistance. If in range,moveDiluconto a Flame Boonpanel to clean up.

Reverse-Melt

Party Buffs:2x DMG (Melt), 1.5x DMG (Reverse-Melt), Shield strength + 15%, Shielded character DMG + 15% (Geo Resonance), Elemental Burst increases party ATK by 20% for 12s (Noblesse Oblige), 35% Elemental DMG Bonus for 10s (4 PC Archaic Petra), Elemental Mastery + 125 for 10s (Albedo), 20% Cryo DMG Bonus in AoE (Ganyu), Enemy Elemental RES – 20% (Zhongli’s Skill), Enemy Physical RES - 20% (Zhongli’s Skill), ATK + 20% & Shield + 30% for 3s (Tenacity of the Milileth)

Potential Buffs:Cryo RES – 15% (Ganyu C1), Pyro RES – 15% for 6s (Xiangling C1), 15% Pyro DMG Bonus (Xiangling C6), Crystallize-shielded characters + 17% DMG (Albedo C6)

Ganyucan easily destroy this domain with a shield for her glass canon design:Geo Resonancewill give her own damage a boost while strengthening Zhongli’sJade Shield. With Zhongli: coax the Lawachurl into aFrost Booncorner and the slimes will follow. Activate Zhongli’s skill to procTenacity of the Milileth, then paralyze everyone with hisBurst.

DispatchGouba, then useAlbedo’s BursttoBoost EM, withGanyu’s Burstimmediately following. ActivatePyronadoon a Flame Boon, then switch to aFrost Boonfor Ganyu’s charged attacks. Once the shields are destroyed, Albedo has an opportunity toCrystallizePyro or Cryo for theArchaic Petra4 PC bonus with Pyronado or Celestial Shower on the field – though the battle is so short sans armor, players may prefer to keep a Sub-DPS build on Albedo and forgo attempting to Crystallize anything outside of Electro.

Honorable Mentions:

Eula with Tenacity Fischl is a unique combo in which Oz occupies the field to proc Tenacity’s 4 PC Bonus during the first wave, and procs while maintaining Superconduct on the second (once Electro Abyss Mage shield & Lawachurl armor are down).

Freeze Team

This Freeze team is most effective in Co-op, where the abundance of on-field Cryo characters can rapidly wipe out the slimes and shields before permanently freezing the Lawachurl and Abyss Mage. Otherwise, it’s a viable albeit slower option for single-player, especially witha main DPS equipped with Blizzard Strayer.
