Mulligan

The Bestest Travel Companion!

Liben

Treasure-Seeking Seelie

King's Squire

Sumeru City

For your mulligan, first look for cards that can patch up bad dice in some way, such as The Bestest Travel Companion! or Liben. This is because not being able to use your Elemental Skills significantly hinders a deck like Chicken Quicken, which relies heavily on getting Elemental Auras out early. Next, search for cards that are best when being played as early as possible such as Treasure-Seeking Seelie, King’s Squire, and Sumeru City. If you have two of such cards in the mulligan, to play them on Round 1 you should look to keep cards such as Changing Shifts or Elemental Resonance: Woven Weeds. Covenant of Rock is the featured Arcane Legend card of this deck. There are many ways in the deck to utilize it from being able to Charged Attack on Tighnari when paired with Sumeru City at 2 dice, give Liben 2 Stacks so your Round 3 will be stronger, or just to use action cards with such as Treasure-Seeking Seelie or Strategize.

Against hyper aggressive decks such as double Pyro decks, keeping one copy of 'I Haven't Lost Yet' to threaten Yae Miko's Elemental Burst might be a good idea if you expect one of your characters to possibly get sacrificed very early into the game.

Early Game:

The opener you always want to go for is Yae Miko's Elemental Skill, into Tighnari’s Elemental Skill. If you have Treasure Seeking Seelie, King’s Squire or Sumeru City, play it before any of your Elemental Skills. On the following round, you want to start off with a Tighnari Charged Attack into an Elemental Burst. If you have Sumeru City and Covenant of Rock, you will be able to play both cards to Charged Attack as Sumeru City reduces the cost of the Skill and you will be set to an even amount of dice with Covenant of Rock.

Mid/Late Game

If you are versus a deck that has survivability, look to swap back to Yae Miko to Elemental Skill, adding more usages to Sesshou Sakura after using Tighnari Element Burst before swapping to Tighnari to keep up the Summon and Quicken pressure. However, if you are versus a deck that lacks survivability and is more aggressive, use Yae Miko’s Elemental Burst with the help of I Haven’t Lost Yet! or after Normal Attacking once. It’s important to Normal Attack instead of Elemental Skilling one more time when immediately Bursting afterwards, as Sesshou Sakura will be destroyed when Yae Miko Elemental Bursts. Only look to cast Yae Miko’s Elemental Burst, Great Secret Art: Tenko Kenshin when Yae Miko’s Summon, Sesshou Sakura, is active as almost half of the Elemental Burst’s power is tied to that condition.

Jadeplume Terrorshroom is a reliable anchor for Quicken teams as Adeptus' Temptation, Catalyzing Field and Radical Vitality stacks boosted Elemental Burst: Feather Spreading is capable of dealing immense damage.

General Gameplay Tips

Elemental Resonance: Sprawling Greenery works as such: after playing the card, your next Elemental Reaction (does NOT have to be Dendro!) will deal an additional 2 damage, and any Catalyzing Field or Dendro Core stacks that you currently have +1 added to their usages. If you do not have any Catalyzing Field charges prior to using this card, but end up using the +2 damage on a Quicken reaction, you will not get 3 stacks instead of 2 stacks after the reaction! That is because you need to use it with already pre-existing stacks to take advantage of that effect. In addition, this card works with any summons you may have. Therefore, a recommended play is to use Elemental Resonance: Sprawling Greenery with 1 Catalyzing Field usage, no Elemental Aura on the opposing character, and both Tighnari and Yae Miko’s Summons up, making full use of the damage boost and the usage addition.

Only swap to Jadeplume Terrorshroom if you're sure you can either get its burst off this round or that it will not hit 3 stacks this round. Remember that Normal Attacks do not add to Jadeplume Terrorshroom's Radical Vitality stacks! In addition, summon damage can also add to Jadeplume Terrorshroom's stacks. However, due to how End Phase effects trigger, if you end your round first, your Jadeplume Terrorshroom will never get its energy reset by summons. End Phase effects trigger based on who ended their round first. As Jadeplume Terrorshroom will count its own stacks before the enemy summons hit it, you can abuse this trick to start the round with 3 stacks.

As this deck has a lot of draw, you may find yourself overdrawing when you first start out. To prevent this, constantly keep track of how much you're drawing, and make sure you always have hand space by tuning cards as necessary.
