another alhaitham fearless clear | Stygian Onslaught Season 9 (v6.6) | Genshin Impact

[no commentary, gameplay only] (fearless difficulty) this was part 2, i initially did 2 hours of failed runs the other day, then came back with this session, and then figured it out kinda. total time was just under 2 and a half hours this time around, not too bad, but i still feel like i dont really understand the wolf or watcher bosses. wont be uploading the previous failed attempts, cause the file is like 70gigs and would take the whole day to upload :) for the wolf boss (glacial wolf), i could only really get the mavuika melt team to clear, and as mentioned above, i kinda dont really understand the mechanic fully. i get that i need to swirl pyro or electro, but even after playing, i still dont fully know which im supposed to swirl, the main body or the soul version, and by extension, i dont know which part needs to be hit with pyro or electro, it felt kinda random. either way, kazuha is useless vs this form of it, when during other content, kazuha would work well, idk whats different in this stygian version, but kazuha didnt work the way i thought, it's like he doesnt actually swirl anything. mizuki works really well though, but then shes kinda dead weight after, so sucrose ends up being the best case, unless you have varka's full team (i guess), which i dont. otherwise, mavuika melt does enough damage to comfortably clear, as long as you apply pyro properly and then consistently swirl it to break the spirit form. for the tulpa, i got a few teams to work, it's definitely the easier boss of the 3, as long as you have some cryo, since it instantly breaks the mini spawns. mavuika melt, skirk mono cryo, and alhaitham hyperbloom all work well. diona looks kind of out of place, but shes good since her ult increases EM by 200, so alhaitham benefits a lot with final damage, and her cryo hits can destroy the spawns, although it's hard for her skill to actually target them, i end up having to do a charged shot. this boss isnt really hard though, so this one is pretty much a free pass. i will say though, i had like 3 alhaitham team clears for this luna patch cycle ( 2 in a row!!!) which is pretty cool. and finally the watcher guy (overbearing contempt), another part where i honeslty dont really understand either. i get that he records an element he gets hit by continuously and that he then summons the totems for them, but what i dont understand is why sometimes i can break them easily and sometimes they are ultra tanky (outside of if both totems are the same element, in which case, they get tankier). i ended up clearing with zibai in this video, but i used a different version in the first session with layla instead and i could never break the cryo totem, so i was confused why i could break it so easily when i swapped in escof (since i swapped that freeze team for tulpa, she was free now). i tried so many teams and i could never consistently break the totems, sometimes they were easy and sometimes they were unbreakable cause they had so much hp, and i was making sure it was 2 different elements every time. clorinde overload didnt work, mavuika melt didnt work, then i added a hydro, but furina and xingqiu still wouldnt break the pyro totem, but then i added yelan in and it worked for some reason, idk, it feels completely random. i also tried alhaitham hyperbloom, but it was the same thing, where sometimes i could easily break, but sometimes it just wouldnt work, and then when i got to the second totem form, i would do like 1/4 of the damage. i dont know what the intended team for this even is, but this boss is super annoying, it doesnt make sense to me. timeline: 0:00 intro and team building 1:54 hydro tulpa CLEAR 5:40 overbearing watcher FAILS 14:12 i got tired of the watcher so i swapped bosses 16:22 glacial wolf CLEAR 20:38 overbearing watch CLEAR WOOHOO 22:58 claiming reward and outro
