Through sheer determination, I was able to clear Fearless, but at what cost? My sanity...
Somehow after several and I mean **SEVERAL** tries I finally found the best team compositions for each fight and managed to beat Fearless. I actually really enjoy Stygian, but this one was really bad when not having Neuvillette and other Nod Krai characters, like look at those battle times, yikes.

I used my one and only C6 to clear the stupid dog too, which freed up the Bineffa lunar wheelchair for my C1R1 Navia + Chirori combo to do the shock trooper.
If Xilonen wasen't on the crab team, I couldn't have cleared the crab, I tried many different combinations before finding this one that worked. If I could, I would have gone the BiS team Navia Xilonen Furina Bina on the dog boss, but then I wouldn't be able to clear the crab, that is just how it is.
Navia did like 35% dmg share, Raiden literally did less dmg than yelan.
The shilling is absolutely insane.
Damage done to small crabs gets transfered to the big one, but only at 10% efficiency for any element not named Hydro.
Hydro also conveniently does vapes on their shields.
its a sad state of things
I mean, Ik C6 raiden isn't that strong, idk how good C6 navia is. But I feel like this should've been somewhat easier for you...
I've seen someone do the crab with furina-less C0 neuvilette, xingqiu, C0 xilonen, and sucrose. That's like, what? A 60k dps team? Maybe 70? Feels like the hydro app matters more than the actual team dps on that boss.
Like, I can't really judge either way. I had fitting teams for each boss. Lunar charged for doggo, varesa for fatui, nauvilette for crab. But that's just what I've watched people do.
Your teams kinda just don't match the content. I assume you had to kill small doggos instead of lunar damaging the big one? Massive pain with navia since her AoE is bad and you've got no grouping.
Fatui soldier shield takes increased electro damage and electro charged reactions take away bigger chunks. Raiden would've been strong here.
Crab would've benefitted from xingqiu instead of yelan. He kills the small crabs in like 1.5 normal attacks while burst is active. Way faster than C1 yelan.
If I had Escoffier things would have been different as well for either the second boss or the crab, since I have Skirk. I am grabbing her if she is featured next patch, hopefully!
I had to run Columbina/Flins on first and Aino/Ineffa on second, the Ineffa team was easy, but my god did I have to retry on the Flins team, improve the rotation, give them better weapons, delay certain attacks... at the end the last change that made me finally clear with 5 seconds to spare was to stop using Sucrose's burst
I can't imagine doing dog without Flins/Nefer/Zibai/Mavuika/Skirk, the few people I saw do Arlecchino did it with like R1 and 0 seconds left too...
ngl there is no excude to not beat him if you have any nodders beside bina
if you only have bina you wont ever do it but the moment you got 2 it should be kinda free
2. I did beat him, that's not my issue, the issue is that pretty much all of my Nod Krai characters go into one team (Flins), I didn't get Nefer and obviously don't have Zibai so I had to use Flins on first boss but I also needed Ineffa for the second because my overload teams aren't good enough to brute force it, and Flins with no cons, no signature and no Ineffa is a pain in the ass even with Columbina
If you picked the lunar-bloom route for Nod Krai and got Nefer-Lauma then whatever, you use them on the dog for a free win and then focus on how to beat Fatui since none of the important characters you use for that team are wanted to beat the Fatui, but if you went with the lunar-charged route and got Flins-Ineffa then you have 2 bosses that want the same team or teammates
My point is that the boss selection is ass, Fatui and Dog shouldn't be on the same rotation, especially when the third boss wants hydro too
Congrats though! Even with cons it was one I struggled with.
It should be easier to do a bina/lauma clear than a mav brute force unless you have cons on mav.
Night sky bina, 2pc2pc em lauma, nahida deepwood, sucrose serenade.
We're just trying to maximize the dmg that bina does. And these 2 characters can buff em which is very useful.
An alternative is to slot in kuki for some hyperbloom dmg, but the goal is to minimize the amount of hyperblooms (they steal pale hymn stales from bina). Do not use double hydro.
Something like lauma, bina, kuki, sucrose.
Bina night sky, lauma sms, kuki instructors, sucrose deepwood could work.
More than half her dmg comes from lauma, and the only stat that affects it is crit. Hp is nice for base dmg increase, but that also doesn't affect pale hymn. We get em from external sources.
Lauma is em = er>crit. You need to burst every rotation, get enough to do so. Aim for 200+. Then maximize your em for pale hymn. This is over half of the team's dps. Crit is nice for the hold e, its non insignificant dmg, but is not needed to clear.
Her er needs are lower in this team since you're on fielding her, so you can look for more offensive weapons. You still want enough er to burst every rotation though.
That said, there isn't much, so protoamber is still viable. 5* crit stat sticks like neuv or mualani weapons are good. Dawning frost is also good.
Just use protoamber in your case then.
The boss has 12mil+ hp, and navia only did 4.6m.
Ineffa and bina did alot of heavy lifting, and the 2 of them combined probably out dmged a c6 navia.
Due to the nature of wheelchair comps, the c6 navia is probably equivalent to like getting r1 on both Bina and neffa. (Exaggeration but not far off).
Should note that the boss takes ~5M damage in recoil as part of it's mechanics and damage against its shield is not tracked (despite showing numbers; I know because my Lauma's ~900k hE crit against the shield doesn't show up as the highest single hit, but rather her ~300k hE crit against the unshielded body), so the portion of its HP that damage is actually tracked against is ~7.5M HP. So Navia did ~60% of the team's damage.
Additionally, OPs team is just not good for supporting a C6 Navia. It would be ok at C0, since it's basically an off-field Lunar-Charge wheelchair, but at C6 it's wasting a lot of potential to not be supercharging Navia's personal damage with the likes of C2 Xilonen (if you want to go for off-field damage, you would need to do high-investment off-field damage to make sense).
That said, C6 Navia in proper teams vs proper enemies is still a ways behind more recent C6 characters. She's still absolutely [enough to clear Dire with](https://imgur.com/a/5R24fkg) (I always bring her, even when there are better teams, out of principle), but her whole schtick (massive frontloaded damage) falls off when the enemies have as much HP as they do in SO. You can pump out a ton of damage at the start of combat, but after that you run out of juice and her long-term DPS is just "really good" (depends wildly on your support investments, but I'd probably put the floor with low-investment well-suited mixed 4\* and 5\* supports against a neutral enemy at like 160k DPS).
The Lunar-Charge wheelchair contributes the same absolute team DPS regardless of Navia's cons, but supports like Bennett (ATK) or Furina (DMG) increase Navia's absolute personal DPS by substantially more because of how they multiply with the stats provided by her cons.
If you dont want to watch the video, here is a brief summary:
Only thing I did was change Hu Tao to Arlecchino. But basically, you want Xingqiu burst ready by the time his shield is up, then when first shield is down, you switch to Fischl and use her burst to keep applying electro again, then the second shield falls as well, you get another Xingqiu burst, and use Fischl elemental skill, and the shield should be gone. You need to have enough ER for this though, my Xingqiu had around 200%, and Fischl had a ER weapon.
Geee no wonder I've been suffering so much.
The doing damage to the boss himself with Navia was totally fine. My only guess is that C2R1 Bina and C1R1 Ineffa is just that much stronger in breaking that shield fast since it just means more lunar damage for you.
Let me ask you, how fast were you able to break its shield? I will say again, for me, I broke it at the last second before it would have absorbed the small dogs.
So shoutout to that persons video! Also yes, Arlecchino is using R1 Staff of Homa, but that does not matter for the shield breaking part.
