A light flooded the people's vision as they set their gazes upon the maelstrom of despair and rage. Their cries mixed with the deafening thunder as the holder of the beacon waited upon the broken lands.

Ritual Vortex Stage 3 Mechanics

Normal At regular intervals, the Bonekrusher Pyromancer summons his doubles and channels his ultimate skill for a certain duration. The ultimate deals massive DMG to all operators once channeling is complete. Defeat all the doubles to interrupt the Pyromancer's ultimate. Enemies take additional damage from Finishers; enemy Staggered duration is also greatly shortened. Enemies have the same resistance against every element.
Agony At regular intervals, the Bonekrusher Pyromancer summons his doubles and channels his ultimate skill for a certain duration. The ultimate deals massive DMG to all operators once channeling is complete. Defeat all the doubles to interrupt the Pyromancer's ultimate. Enemies take additional damage from Finishers; enemy Staggered duration is also greatly shortened. Tacticals and consumables cannot be used. Enemies have the same resistance against every element.

Agony Mode adds an effect on top of the Normal Mode mechanics.

Ritual Vortex Stage 3 Best Teams and Characters

Mono Physical Team

Main DPS SP Gen. Support Sustain
Endfield Mi Fu Mi Fu Endfield Pogranichnik Pogranichnik Endfield Chen Qianyu Chen Qianyu Endfield Ember Ember

The Mono Physical team's high Stagger can expedite access to Finishers needed to defeat the clones quickly and disable the Pyromancer's ultimate. In addition to the natural high stagger caused by constantly applying Physical Statuses, their natural synergy with the Swordmancer Set helps in filling the Stagger gauges quickly as well.

Additionally, Ember's healing and shielding from her Combo Skill and Ultimate can help mitigate the Pyromancer's Combustion damage if the clones were not defeated in time.

Best Team Comps

Zhuang Fangyi Electric Flex Team

Support Main DPS SP Gen. Support
Endfield Perlica Perlica Endfield Zhuang Fangyi Zhuang Fangyi Endfield Arclight Arclight Endfield Gilberta Gilberta

Zhuang Fangyi's Electric Flex team boasts high damage and sufficient stagger required for the clones. The constant Final Strikes required by the team and the multiple Combo Skill triggers can fill the clone's Stagger gauges quickly for a Finisher, and Zhuang Fangyi's damage during her Ultimate can end the fight quickly after the Pyromancer's first Ultimate is cancelled.

Gilberta will be used as the flex slot in this team for her Combo Skill, as it can apply the Lift status for additional Stagger that is easily triggered by Perlica's or Zhuang Fangyi's Combo Skills, or Arclight's Ultimate.

Rossi Hybrid Team

Main DPS Sub-DPS Support Support
Endfield Mi Fu Mi Fu Endfield Rossi Rossi Endfield Perlica Perlica Endfield Gilberta Gilberta

A hybrid team with Rossi, Mi Fu, Perlica, and Gilberta generates both Stagger and damage needed for both the Pyromancer and their clones. Rossi's multiple Vulnerables sufficiently add to the stagger gauge, further aided by Gilberta's Combo Skill. Perlica's and Mi Fu's Ultimates can be an additional source of Stagger as well.

After the Ultimate is cancelled, Rossi and Mi Fu can easily nuke down the boss with their Ultimate and Crush proc, ending the fight with ease.

Laevatain Heat Team

Main DPS SP Gen. Support Support
Endfield Laevatain Laevatain Endfield Camille Camille Endfield Wulfgard Wulfgard Endfield Ardelia Ardelia

Laevatain's Heat team with Camille can clear the stage easily as well due to the frequent use of their Combo Skills and reliance on Final Strikes, similar to Zhuang Fangyi's team.

How to Beat Ritual Vortex Stage 3

  1. Save SP After the First Stagger
  2. Use Finishers On the Clones

Save SP and Combo Skills After the Staggering the Pyromancer

Save SP After Staggering the Pyromancer

Once the fight starts, the Pyromancer will start attacking the party before summoning his clones. Use your skills to deal damage to him at the start, but save your SP and Combo Skills after they are first staggered, as you'll need them for the clones he'll summon shortly after he recovers.

Use Finishers On the Clones

Once the clones appear, fill their stagger gauge quickly with Final Strikes, Battle Skills, Combo Skills, and Ultimates to enable Finishers. One Finisher can deplete their HP quickly due to the stage's mechanics, and it is the intended way to eliminate them quickly to disable the Pyromancer's Ultimate.

Ideally, avoid using the controlled operator's Battle Skill and have them focus on performing Final Strikes instead, unless dodge cancel is possible, such as with Zhuang Fangyi.

Switch Out of Laevatain and Zhuang Fangyi During Their Ultimates

Note that during their Ultimates, Laevatain and Zhuang Fangyi cannot perform Finishers. When a clone is staggered, switch to another operator instead to perform a Finisher. Doing so will not end their ultimate state.
