| What Is Stygian Onslaught?
Stygian Onslaught is a permanent, challenging combat event in Genshin Impact where players fight powerful bosses across three battlefields, requiring multiple teams for higher rewards, and it offers unique bonuses like the new Dust of Enlightenment for artifact customization, introducing a social/co-op element to endgame progression. Introduced in Version 5.7, it's located in Liyue's Sal Terrae and rewards Primogems, materials, and a special item to redistribute artifact substats.

| Genshin 6.3 Stygian Onslaught Stage 1
Lord of the Hidden Depths: Whisperer of Nightmares — Ravager's Edge
Lv.105 / 110
HP: 12437830 / 13614572
Mechanics:
- Will create a Deepdark Shield equal to 45% HP. It takes 300% of the original DMG when hit by Lunar Reaction DMG, but is immune to Physical DMG. When the Shield takes Lunar reaction DMG for the first time, generates Elemental Orbs that revives 36 energy.
- When the Shield is destroyed, loses 20% HP and becomes Weakened, all RES dropping to -60%.
- Will summon Anglers when charging Ult (each 18% HP). Every Angler defeated reduces Shield by 25%.
Quick take:
The best counter-strategy revolves around the Lunar-Reaction system, specifically Lunar Electro Charge, Lunar Bloom, and Lunar Crystallize. Without these lunar reactions, a high-damage Main DPS is mandatory.
Best Team：

- Shield increases all RES except Electro by 60%, and self-repairs very quickly. After taking Electro-Charged or Lunar-Charged DMG, self-repair almost pauses.
- Break all Shields within a certain time to weaken the Boss: All RES decreases by 50%. After recovery, Electro RES decreases by 60%.
- When each layer is broken, loses 6% HP and generates Elemenral Orbs: Regenerates 18 Electro Energy and 6 other Energy.

| FAQ About Genshin 6.0 Stygian Onslaught
Q1: Is Stygian Onslaught permanent?
A1: No, it’s a limited-time high-difficulty event refreshed every version and removed once the patch ends.
Q2: How many teams are required?
A2: Regardless of difficulty, you must prepare three separate teams for the three arenas, and characters (and gear) cannot be reused.
Q3: What rewards does it give?
A3: About 450 Primogems, plus Mora, EXP books, Dust of Enlightenment, and an exclusive weapon skin at Dire difficulty.
Q4: Can you co-op Stygian Onslaught?
A4: There are six tiers: Normal → Advancing → Hard → Menacing → Fearless → Dire. Only the first three (Normal, Advancing, Hard) support co-op; Menacing, Fearless, and Dire are strictly solo.
| Conclusion
Each of the three chambers presents unique challenges. Stage 1 restricts team compositions; legacy teams will struggle with both shield-breaking and overall DPS output. Stage 2 focuses heavily on shield-breaking pressure. Stage 3 demands both efficient shield-breaking and high burst damage within short windows. Players must manage their team allocations wisely. The overall difficulty is ranked as 1 < 3 < 2. Additionally, C6 Chasca remains a universal counter-strategy for all stages.
