Recommended commands for Thunder City

It is worth noting that the enemies in the dungeon are not characterized by increased complexity or problematic rotation of attacks. When entering the dungeon you are recommended take Geo elements characters, which goes well with the anomaly, but almost any pumped-up heroes can cope without it.

Suitable heroes

In Thunder City, you will encounter elemental creatures that are completely immune to their elements. Therefore, the best choice would be Anemo, Geo or Dendro dd + heroes with predominantly physical damage. Some enemies in the dungeon also have a special durability bar, which can be removed by supports with fire attacks.

Unit examples

In order to defeat all the mobs in the dungeon without any problems, we advise you to consider the following combinations of heroes in your squad:

Keep in mind that the main criterion for success will be the high level of the members of your squad (if there are no heroes convenient for you on the list, this does not mean that they are not suitable for the Achievement: Challenger). Characters can be combined with each other, and preference is best given to those who deal area damage and hit a group of enemies (supports with a screed are also suitable here). Units of the fire element will serve you well, helping to reduce the stability of foreign enemies.

How to pass "City of Thunderstorms"

To complete the dungeon you are given 5 minutes, and the battle consists of two stages: in the first, most of the enemies are slimes, and in the second, foreign mobs appear.

Try not to forget about crowd control and dungeon buff (this is if you took Geo and Anemo heroes into your squad). As mentioned above, the enemies in Thunder City aren't difficult, especially if your squad doesn't rely entirely on elemental damage. Do not form monopacks with Pyro, Cryo or Electro characters, and then the passage will not cause any special problems. Watch out for the slimes that start performing a fall attack - there are several of them in the level and if each one starts knocking the heroes down, it can be disorienting.
