5 Strategies for The Lost Valley:

•Elemental Skill Focus: Characters with low cooldown on Elemental Skills like Fischl or Xingqiu are ideal.
•Burst Management: Time your Elemental Bursts for when Ruin enemies are vulnerable or grouped.
•Crowd Control: Use Anemo to group or stagger Ruin enemies, making them easier targets for your team.

5 Tips for The Lost Valley:

•Artifact Set Utilization: Even if not farming for specific characters, understand how each set benefits different playstyles.
•Save for Level IV: If possible, go straight to Level IV for better artifact drops but be prepared for a challenge.
•Healing: Keep a healer or use healing food; Ruin enemies can deal significant damage over time.
