Round 1: Martialism: Firmness - This school provides bonus Physical damage to enemies who are Weakness Broken. This is the only Martialism available on Day 1.

Round 2: Blackhole Throw - Regenerate 100% Energy on Weakness Break. Perfect for Argenti who can dish out massive AoE (Area of Effect) damage with his Ultimate.

Round 3: Road Roller Throw - Increases Weakness Break efficiency by 150% for Physical Damage. This further amplifies the effectiveness of Blackhole Throw, allowing Argenti to spam his Ultimate more often.

Make sure to try and pull off as much Weakness Break as possible using Argenti or your main Physical damage dealer. This way, it will almost always guarantee a 100% Ultimate ability uptime.

Best teams

For Day 1 of the Boulder Town Martial Exhibition, since the School focuses on Physical Damage, you can maximize this buff by using Physical type characters. Luckily, Argenti and Luka are the featured trial characters in this challenge.

Make sure to bring characters who can support your damage dealers like Tingyun, Bronya, or healers like Lynx and Natasaha.

Round 3: Rear Naked Choke - Regenerates 100% of Max Energy to an ally who attacks a Frozen Enemy. This allows your characters to cast their Ultimate ability immediately after attacking Frozen targets.

Best teams

For Day 2 of the Boulder Town Martial Exhibition, players will need to have Ice Element characters with them. Jingliu and Pela are the featured trial characters in this stage.

Pair the two characters with preservation characters like Fu Xuan, Trailblazer Fire, or Gepard. You can also have other supports like Bronya, Tingyun, Natasha, or Lynx if you have them.

Best teams

For Day 3 of the Boulder Town Martial Exhibition, Fire element characters are needed to maximize the buffs in the Martial and its School. Guinaifen and Asta are provided as trial characters if you lack the necessary units.

Make sure you execute as many Fire attacks to enemies to reset the uptime of Spinning Black Fist.

Day 4 - Boulder Town Martial Exhibition: Form of Flow

Best School and Martialism

Round 1: Martialism: Flow - When enemies recieve DoT (Damage Over Time) debuffs, they also receive three stacks of Continuous Hook that additionall inflicts Wind Damage at the start of each turn.

Round 2: Jumping Side Kick - Generate 4 Energy to the ally with the highest Energy requirement that is not yet at Max Energy. This triggers the same number of times as the Continuous Hook Kick stacks the defeated enemy had. Perfect for Kafka and Sampo as they both can deliver a ton of DoT effects.

Round 3: Hook Kick - When enemies appear, immediately apply 5 stacks of Continuous Hook Kick on them. This allows you to gain more Energy after killing an enemy.

If you think you can take down a Trotter with DoT before it escapes, you can consider choosing the Front Kick school. Otherwise, Hook Kick is the safest choice.

Best teams

Characters that can apply DoT effects are crucial in Day 4 of the Boulder Town Martial Exhibition. If you lack characters, Kafka and Sampo are available as trial characters.

You can improve their damage by using Tingyu, Pela, or Yukong as supports. Consider having one tank or healer in the party as the last round will feature two bosses with high HP.

Day 5 - Boulder Town Martial Exhibition: Form of Gust

Best School and Martialism

Round 1: Martialism: Gust - When attacking enemies, immediately trigger the Entanglement effect that was applied to them to deal 300% DMG.

Round 2: Blood Racing - Casting skill on an enemy also applies 4 stacks of Entanglement on them up to a maximum of 10 stacks.

If your unit is focused on casting Ultimate abilities, you can go for Dripping Mucus which adds 6 Entanglement stacks per Ultimate attacks on enemies.

Round 3: Yellow Gall Waves - Casting Ultimate abilities on enemies that are Weakness Broken will delay their action by 100%. This can be applied easily by reserving your Ultimate abilities when the enemy is already Weakness Broken compared to Black Gale Waves where you need to break the Enemy Weakness to activate the action delay.

Best teams

Quantum characters are the recommended units to pick on Day 5 of the Boulder Town Martial Exhibition. Seele and Silverwolf are provided as trial characters.

Use Silverwolf to apply Quantum weakness on enemies and also reduce their defense. Make sure to focus on taking down one unit instead of spreading your attacks on multiple targets.

Make sure you have enough SP (Skill Points) to use for Seele. Silverwolf does not need to use a skill if the enemy already has Quantum weakness.

Round 2: Permit Not Hatred Tarnish Thy Will - When enemies are inflicted with Imprisonment, the Ultimate DMG multiple increases by 200%. This can stack up to 6 times.

If you have Welt who can Imprison enemies using his Ultimate ability, this can be viable. Otherwise, you can pick Let Not Sorrow Dull Thy Blade to increase the Weakness Break Damage.

Round 3: Expose Not Anger in Action - When characters use Imaginary-type Ultimate abilities on enemies, they apply Imaginary-type Weakness Break and regenerate 30% of Max Energy.

Best teams

The Day 6 of the Boulder Town Martial Exhibition has Dang Heng: Imbibitor Lunae as a trial character. This should make it very easy as he is currently the strongest unit in the game. Welt can also delay an enemy's actions, allowing to you save up more SP for Immibitor Lunae's burst skill.

Bring other charcaters that don't require too much SP to be effective like Tingyun, Lynx, or Fu Xuan.

Round 3: Duo Palm Plummet Strike - After allies use a Lightning-type Ultimate abilities, the attack count of the Thunderous Slaps by 2.

Best teams

Day 7 of the Boulder Town Martial Exhibition players will have to bring at least one Thunder-type damage dealer. Jing Yuan and Arlan are the featured characters in this stage.

Players can bring both characters but Jing Yuan alone is enough if you have support characters like Tingyun and Bronya, as well as durable tanks like Fu Xuan, Gepard, or Trailblazer (Main Character) Fire. If you don't have a durable tank, you can always bring a healer with you.

If you chose the Front Palm school on the second round, make sure Jing Yuan is the character that breaks every Toughness Bar to allow him to cast his Ultimate ability multiple times and push forward his Lightning Lord passive.
