In this guide, I will share with you how to get a max score for day 4 Theater Mechanicus for the event Hues of the Violet Garden, for both Show of Force and entering the Horde difficulty mode.
Show of Force
Pick Hydro Blue and gray sticks, Cryo orange and two gray sticks, and Electro second blue and gray stick.
Before starting the wave, remove 4 prebuilt towers (2 Binding, 1 Hydro, and 1 Electro).
Replace the electro tower near the destination portal with a Hydro tower.
Place 2 Cryo towers beside the Hydro tower.
Place 2 electro and 1 Cryo tower in front of the destination portal.
Place 1 hydro and 2 cryo tower in front.
This is the overview of the tower placement.
Start the wave and AFK until the end of the challenge.
Enter the Horde
Pick all Hydro sticks, all cryo sticks, the second electro stick, and the No.4 Mystic stick.
Pick any Pyro character that can deal consistent Pyro damage (e.g. Amber, Bennett, Yanfei) to break the Cryo shield on the enemy. I will use Amber in this case as everyone should have her.
Before starting the wave, remove 3 prebuilt towers in front of us (2 Binding and 1 Hydro).
Replace the Electro tower with a Cryo tower.
Place 2 Hyrdo towers beside the Cryo tower.
Important Note
Place 3 Cryo towers at an interval of 8 seconds. This is to make sure that the ice mist from the Cryo tower will be on all the time.
Place the Hydro towers in front of the Cryo towers.
Take note of the 3 Cryo towers, one of the towers will have an ice mist at any given time. Please reset the challenge if your Cryo tower is having a period of time with no ice mist.
Start the wave and AFK until the remaining enemy counter reaches 49.
Use your pyro character to break the shield on the Cryop abyss mage. There are a total of 2 Cyro abyss mages.
Continue to AFKl until the remaining enemy counter reaches 4.
There will be a frost Lawachurl spawning from the lower platform at the right. Break its Cryo shield with Pyro attacks.
After breaking its Cryo shield, AFK until the end of the challenge.
