Recommended commands for Molten Fortress

Suitable characters

Given the anomaly of the earth's arteries, we highly recommend that you take Dendro characters. Thus, you can increase the mastery of the elements of the fighters, increasing the damage from reactions. It is recommended to supplement them with Electro and Hydro heroes to create Stimulation and Budding, respectively.

We do not advise you to take too many Hydro characters, and Anemo heroes can be completely abandoned. The fact is that in the level IV dungeon you will mainly fight with outcast hilichurls, which have 50% resistance to Hydro and Anemo elements. Plus, Anemo doesn't interact with Dendro.

Naturally, you also need good supports. As a shield, you can take Tom, Zhongli, Bai Zhu or Kirara. A good healer might be Barbara, Kuki Shinobu, Sangonomiya Kokomi, Dori, or Yaoyao. The screenshot below shows the characters from which you can easily assemble a good squad for this dungeon.

Optimal Teams

The table below shows a few hero builds that you can use to complete this dungeon without any problems, provided that your characters are well pumped.

How to get through the Molten Iron Fortress

The essence of this dungeon is to destroy a certain number of enemies in a specified period of time (usually given 5 minutes). Thus, all your efforts should be focused on dealing maximum damage to the greatest number of enemies, so be sure to take your strongest Dendro or Electro damage dealers.

At the same time, it should be remembered that the damage will increase most of all for those characters whose build is based on mastery of the elements. At the first levels of the dungeon, you will have to fight with large groups of enemies, but at the last level you will have to fight with strong single enemies, so it is not at all necessary to take damage dealers with a large damage radius.

If you do not use heroes that deal mainly Hydro and Anemo damage, you can quickly deal with outcasts and mitachurls. In general, this dungeon cannot be called difficult, so you should pass it without any problems even at the last stage.
