#1. Cryo Team

Aeonblight Drake can float over your character. Therefore, you should recruit a bow wielder as the main DPS. Besides, this archer needs a robust shield to stay alive and safe when taking over the battlefield. Therefore, Ganyu's Cryo team is the best option for this challenge.

Learn the best characters and how to defeat Aeonblight Drake.

Here are all characters you can use for this team.
  • Ganyu is the main DPS;
  • Kazuha is the sub-DPS and Swirl supporter;
  • Bennett can heal the team and trigger the Melt reaction;
  • Zhongli is the shielder.

When the Aeonblight Drake switches to the hovering status, Ganyu must shoot it down. Kazuha and Bennett will maximize the DMG of Ganyu by triggering Swirl and Melt reactions. Zhongli's shield will protect Ganyu and other active characters from deadly attacks from the opponent.

Aim to shoot Aeonblight Drake.

#2. Mono Geo Team

The Mono Geo team will help you take advantage of the Difficulty Settings. Here are the most recommended characters for this team.
  • Itto is the Burst DPS;
  • Albedo is the sub-DPS;
  • Gorou is the supporter who stops Aeonblight Drake's hovering status;
  • Zhongli is the shielder and sub-DPS.
The Mono Geo team is reliable to counter this strong boss.

Gorou is a bow wielder, so he can bring the boss down to the ground when it's floating in mid-air. Then, other Geo characters in the team can use melee attacks to deal DMG to the boss. Activate the elemental burst of Itto, then hit the boss with his elemental skill.

#3. Guide & Tips To Counter Aeonblight Drake

You should use at least one bow wielder in your team to bring Aeonblight Drake to the ground. Besides, you adopt the following tips and strategies to win this combat.

  • Dodge the boss's attack during its Aerial State. Then, aim to shoot and make it land on the ground.
  • Aim at the glowing Aeonblight cores on its shoulders and chest 4 times to break its shield and reduce its HP. After breaking its shield, you quickly release the most powerful skills and elemental bursts to hit the boss while it's immobilized.
Dodge the AoE attack of the boss.
  • Maintain a safe distance to avoid AoE attacks of the Aeonblight Drake. That's why long-range DPS, including bow and catalyst wielders, are the best characters in this domain.
  • Stop it from charging its attacks by hitting it with elemental attacks. Attack or aim the boss when its cores glow up.
Defeat Aeonblight Drake within the chosen time limit to claim rewards.

Remember that Aeonblight Drake is a strong boss. You should heal your characters and try to survive by avoiding the boss's attacks and consuming food in time.
