Frenzied Thorn

Position your allies such that 4 of them get hit, to reduce this attack's multiplier from 900% to 140%. If you have a unit that can easily tank the full damage, you can have them tank it solo.

Pressure of Love

If you have enough defensive utility to tank both S2 and C1, you don't have to position around this skill. If you can't ignore this skill, have a non DPS take this hit.

Surging Sincerity

Trigger: Any unit has the vulnerable debuff (applied by S2).

Have all your damage dealers take this hit to gain an M/ATK buff. Use defensive utility to survive this if needed.

Do keep in mind that any unit that got hit by S2 takes double damage from this skill due to vulnerability!

Heart's Compulsion

Have your dark units take this hit so they gain a Property DMG buff.

Afterwards, trigger C2 by stacking 12 chains on any tile.

Desperate Confession

Trigger: Stack at least 12 chains on any tile.

After triggering C2, nuke the fiend!

Cherry Blossom's Passion

A team wipe! Your next team then takes the stage as the Fiend loops back to S1 and refreshes its conditional skills.

Hunting the Fiend

S1 → S2 → C1 → S3 → C2 →S4

C1 → S3 → C2 lines up all the buffs granted by the Fiend so that you get a nuke turn right after C2. If you're using a set up team, you can trigger C2 at the start of team 1 (set up team) then switch to team 2 (main team) right after.

Dark DPS Review

Eclipse (8.5× AoE) — Best option for magic teams (the Fiend is magic, so Nartas isn't good here). However, she's not worth running if you don't have Bunny Eclipse.

Celia (8.5× AoE) — Celia's more of a chainer than a DPS since her highest damaging skill (Bunny) is best used before the nuke turn, but she still deals decent damage. Just be careful about triggering C2 too early.

Eleaneer (6.5/8.5× AoE with Zenith/Rigenette) — Eleaneer needs Zenith to reach all the weak points, but since the middle weak point is weighted much higher than the other tiles, using Zenith will be worth it. Ideally use Refithea here in order to give Zenith a chain buff for the nuke turn.

Rou (7.5× AoE) — Budget DPS if you have Stray Cat +5 from half anniversary.

Samay (7.5× AoE with Zenith/Rigenette) / Maria (5.5× AoE). 3/4★ budget options if you don't have anything else.
