Recommended teams for July Gardens
Suitable characters
Given the enemies and anomalies in this dungeon, the best choice for you will be heroes related to the Pyro element, and you can even collect almost the entire team from fire characters, since their attacks will almost constantly create explosions that cause even more damage. Plus, you will be able to effectively remove the shields from the mages of the abyss and Fatui.
At first glance, it may seem that Cryo or Electro characters can also come in handy in some stages, but in this test they will only bring you harm, since the Superconductor and Charged reactions will constantly deal damage to your heroes. Cryo fighters can be replaced with Geo or Anemo. The former can apply shields, while the latter can pull enemies into one point or disperse the Pyro element.
The table below shows the most interesting options:
| Character | Features |
|---|---|
Hu Tao | Elemental explosion and normal strikes are capable of inflicting giant Pyro damage. Useful for hitting weak points. |
Dilyuk | Normal strikes have a large damage radius. “Ulta” deals damage to Pyro in a large area, and with the help of an elemental skill, you can quickly deal fire damage. |
Kli | Can spread fire throughout the battle area. Even her regular hits do Pyro damage. |
Bennett | Able to use an elemental explosion to increase the ATK of allies and heal them. |
Xiang Ling | Her “ult” deals Pyro damage in a huge area. Effective when fighting groups of enemies. |
Yan Fei | Even her regular hits deal Pyro damage, and her elemental skill and “ulti” have a large damage radius. |
Eimiya< /p> | Can deal significant Pyro damage with charged shots and elemental explosions. |
< /p> Toma | Able to cast a fairly strong shield on allies and inflict Pyro damage in an area. |
Xin Yan | Can protect allies with a shield and inflict Pyro status with her elemental abilities. |

How to get through the July Gardens
The essence of this dungeon is to destroy a certain number of mobs in a specified period of time (usually 6 minutes are given). Thus, all your efforts should be aimed at dealing maximum damage to the greatest number of enemies, so be sure to take your very best Pyro damage dealers.
If the timer runs out and you still haven't killed all the enemies, the challenge will fail, so you'll have to start from scratch. To speed up the killing of mobs, be sure to use the earth artery bonuses, that is, deal fire damage to Hydro, Cryo and Electro enemies to create Steam, Melt and Overload reactions.
Quite often you will have to fight large groups of small mobs , which can be pulled into one point using the Anemo abilities of Venti, Sucrose or Kazuha. Once done, hit Pyro with elemental blasts.
Note that in the first stage you will encounter Cryo Void Mage and Hydro Slimes, joint attacks which can freeze your fighters. For this reason, we advise you to deal with two water slugs as soon as possible.
