Genshin Impact: Realm of Tempered Valor event platinum guide

Genshin Impact has a new combat event in Version 5.4♌ that challenges even the most hardened veteraไns. And this time, there’s an exclusive event namecard on the line. Here’s an overview of all stages in the Realm of Tempered Valor event so you can snag that namecard for yourself!

Realm of Tempered Valor rules explained

First, 🐓a brief overview of the event overall. There are a total of five combat stages. E🍎ach stage consists of a gauntlet of 25 floors. Starting on floor 1, your goal is to fight your way up the floors as far as you can. The higher you go, the tankier the enemies. 

There’s a 30-second time limit for each floor. Failing to clear a floor in 30 seconds ends your challenge right there. On the other hand, clearing a floor with time to spare lets you skip a few floors ahead, streamlining your progress. You’ll need to reach floor 20 to earn the platinum medal and all event rewards.

You will earn some buffs during your challenge. If someone on your friend list has cleared floor 20 of a stage, you will obtain an ATK buff. Just walk through the red orb before you start your challenge. At certain floor milestones, you will also see a green orb and a blue orb. The green and blue buffs are single-use only. The green buff restores some of your team’s HP, while the blue buff restores some Energy or Fighting S🎀pirit. Use them wisely; they’ll disappear once you pick them up.

Food buffs are also allowed. Try cooking up some Adeptus’ Temptations (+ATK/CRIT Rate), Gilded Tajine (+Max HP), and some potions. You can stack the effects of one offensive buff, one defensive buff, and one potion.

You can also cast certain character abilities before actually starting the challenge. Once you’re in the arena, set up support skills like Bennett’s buff and Xiangling’s Pyronado before you interact with the key to summon the enemies. This shaves off a precious few seconds of setup so you can start dealing damage the moment your enemies load in.

Stage 1: Nightsoul Blessing

The first stage demands on-field DPS characters from Natlan. If your character deals damage while in the Night🐼soul Blessing state, they will gain a massive DMG buff and deal a bit of additional Pyro damage. Some team suggestions include:

• Mavuika – Citlali/Kazuha – Xilonen – Bennett
• Mualani – Xilonen – Bennett – Xiangling
• Chasca – Furina – Ororon/Fischl – Bennett
• Kinich – Emilie – Bennett – Zhongli

The Mavuika team in particular is incredibly effective. The fastest clears for this stage all feature Mavuika as an on-field DPS. If you don’t have Mavuika, brin🦹g any other on-field DPS with Nightsoul mechanics. Brute-forcing this stage without using the Nightsoul buffs will be extremely difficult.

Another tip – when facing the Avatars of Lava (ball-shaped rock/lava monsters), focus on applying as much Pyro as possible. When the red circle by the๊ir health bar fills up, they will be instantly defeated. C6 Bennett is great for this since his Burst infuses melee attacks with Pyro. Kazuha is recommended, too, since his Burst can absorb Pyro for some additional application.

Stage 2: Melt, Vaporize, Frozen

The second stage encourages Melt or Vaporize teams. Melt and Vaporize reactions🎃 deal increased damage, and triggering Melt, Vaporize, or Frozen grants an ATK buff. My suggested team is:

• Arlecchino/Mavuika – Citlali – Xilonen – Bennett

This is the only team I see represented in my leaderboards. If you don’t have Citlali, try Furina instead. Otherwise, bring your most powerful Pyro DPS and hope for the best. Hydro DPS will not work, since some enemies are immune to Hydro. 

Stage 3: Swirl

The third stage encourages the use of Swirl, but it’s better to use your strongest DPS character rather than focus on Swi🍌rl damage. Consider the Swirl buffs a nice ܫbonus. Some suggested teams include:

• Mavuika – Xilonen – Bennett – Kazuha
• Neuvillette – Xilonen – Furina – Kazuha
• Arlecchino – Kazuha/Xilonen – Citlali – Bennett/Furina
• Wanderer – Faruzan – Furina – Bennett

If you don’t have either Mavuika or Neuvillette, just bring your strongest team. Non✃e of the enemies are immune to any particular element, so this stage really is just a DPS check.

Stage 4: Healing

The fourth stage grants players an ATK buff when they receive healing. This is another stage where it’s best to use your strongest team, as long as there’s a healer in there somewhere. Some teams that I’ve seen do well include:

• Mavuika – Xilonen – Citlali/Furina – Bennett/Venti
• Arlecchino – Kazuha/Xilonen – Citlali – Bennett/Furina

It’s worth noting that HP-scaling DPS units like Mualani and Neuvillette don’t benefit from this stage’s buffs. You need both healing and an ATK-scaling main DPS.

How to get the namecard in Realm of Tempered Valor

For the first time since 2022, you can earn a free event namecard through the Realm of Tempered Valor event. It’s called✅ Celebration: Scorc🌱h, and it depicts a little Tepetlisaurus punching an Abyss Mage in the face. Adorable.

To earn the Realm of Tempered Valor namecard, you need to clear a total of 100 floors across all stages of the event. This means shooting for at least 20♉ floors on each stage. If you can’t quite make it to 20 on certain stages, you can try to make it up on other stages. You might have a꧒ strong team that’s better suited for the latter stages, so don’t worry if you fall a bit short early on.
