Swirl Abyss Mage’s Pyro with Jean’s Elemental Skill.
Activate Shenhe’s Ice Quill; her Cryo hit will also remove the Abyss Mage’s Pyro shield.

The core character for this strategy against Hawad is Jean. Jean doesn’t only Swirl Pyro to the Shrooms, but also force-switch the opponent to the Cryoshroom, which causes the Fungi to move before the Abyss Mage. Afterward, by causing a second Elemental reaction against the Pyro Abyss Mage, the shield will be taken off and the monster will be stunned and unable to attack. This saves one Candle of Life stack on the first round.

After that, players can use many other strategies to clear out the enemies, but the Cryo strategy is the easiest to do. By using Shenhe’s Ice Quill, Chongyun can deal 4 DMG on his next three Elemental Skills, which will defeat every enemy on the field; the Abyss Mage has 4 HP, while the Shroom will lose 6 HP due to Melt reaction.
