Where to find the Three Polychrome Stars: Sidorenko, Nomonkov, and Vasily
- Location: Huitztli Hill
Head to the northwestern part of the Pyro region. The Three Fatui are located near the teleportation point at the top of Huitztli Hill. The easiest way to get there is with the help of the Geo Saurian's abilities – you can pick him up at the foot of the hill.
Turn west from the teleportation point – behind a small thicket near the edge of the map there will be Three Polychrome Stars.
Recommended Commands
Since this local legend consists of three opponents at once, it is most convenient to use the main damage dealers who deal area damage. Control heroes such as Kazuha and Sukharoz, who are able to pull enemies to one point, will also be useful. If you do not take anemo characters into your squad, make sure that your team has characters who can remove Fatui shields: Hydro or Cryo characters are suitable for the Pyro skirmisher, Pyro and Electro for the opponent's Cryo, and Cryo characters for the Fatui fighter's Electro.
It is also worth considering that the Three Polychrome Stars are able to take out even those characters with a large supply of health in two hits. It is best to take characters with increased maneuverability into battle, as well as shielders and healers to increase the survivability of the squad.

How to defeat the Three Polychrome Stars
Different battle tactics will result in achievements of different levels:
- 5 Primogems are awarded for the first elimination of the Three Polychrome Stars;
- 10 Primogems are awarded if you first defeat Pyro Skirmisher Vasily, and then the rest of the Fatui;
- 20 Primogems are awarded if you defeat the Three Polychrome Stars within 10 seconds of eliminating the first Fatui Skirmisher.
Accordingly, the combat tactics for achieving each level will be different:
- To achieve the first level, it is enough to simply defeat the local legend at a comfortable pace and sequence, relying on shielders and healers;
- To achieve the second level, it is recommended to take the Pyro skirmisher aside and concentrate on him, and also take the Hydro applicator into the squad to remove his shield;
- To reach the third level, deal damage evenly to all three polychrome stars. It is most effective to use the main damage dealer, who deals damage over an area.
Regardless of the chosen tactics, there are general tips for fighting the Three Polychrome Stars. Before the fight, you can use potions to increase elemental damage, as well as food that increases attack power, shield strength, and outgoing healing:
Keep all three Fatui Skirmishers in your sights to avoid a sudden powerful strike. If this is not possible, focus on the combat lines of enemies; for convenience, you can turn off the music in the settings.
It is best to lure Electro and Cryo Skirmishers to the Pyro Skirmisher, as the latter is mostly in one place, while the other Fatui often move around the field.
Anemo characters can help quickly remove shields using Inflation. To remove the Cryo shield, you need to lure the Cryo and Electro skirmishers with active shields to one point, and then perform Inflation on both of them. If you use Anemo heroes to pull, activate their pulling skills only after the Three Polychrome Stars' shields are destroyed – otherwise, the Fatui will not be attracted.
Keep in mind that Electro and Cryo Skirmishers leave behind a wind field after death, dealing massive damage for several seconds. The field's lifetime is enough to disable two game characters, so it's best to run away immediately after killing the said opponents.
If the fight is too tough, you can join players with lower world levels: the health of opponents and the damage they cause will decrease, and achievements will still be protected. And finally, keep in mind that the Three Polychrome Stars are restored along with the server reset, that is, the next real day.
