Best Genshin Impact characters for Theater Mechanicus event (Stage 1-10)

The Theater Mechanicus rerun event in Genshin Impact is ending in less than a week on August 26. Therefore, players only have six days to complete the challenge and obtain the event-exclusive namecard "Celebration: Wondrous Calculation."

The Theater Mechanicus event requires players to strategize efficiently on a map and place the Mechanici in the best position. Then, with the addition of bonuses from Wondrous Sticks, the Mechanici will attack incoming enemies and defend the exit point.

Genshin Impact characters cannot damage enemies, gain Elemental Energy, or use their Elemental Burst during the challenge. However, their Elemental Skills can still be used to infuse elements into opponents.
