Skills Overview

Minuet
Sharon strums the strings; deals 350% damage to all targets, then increases all allies' Turn Meter by 20% and inflicts a 2-turn [SPD+].

How to counter?

Dispels and Buff Steal both work, but SPD Down and Hard CCs also do the job just fine.

Prelude
Sharon gathers the power of petals; and deals 500% damage to all targets with a 75% chance to set the main target's Turn Meter back by 40% and immediately resolve all their [DoT].

How to counter?

Chiaki the Echo or a Taunter to deal with the Turn Meter effect, and Immunity/Purify to limit the amount of DoTs on your team.

Symphony
Every 1 time(s) enemies take tally damage from [DoT], increases the effect of [DoT] dealt by all allies by 5%. When Sharon deals damage, additionally inflicts 1 stack(s) of [DoT] for 2 turn(s). Sharon gains Immunity to [DoT] effect.

How to counter?

First of all, do not bring the DoT team here - it won’t work as this immunity to DoT cannot be dispelled;
Immunity is king here, otherwise you need a lot of Cleanse effects which is very impractical.

Aria
When Sharon deals damage, has a 30% chance to inflict 1 stack(s) of 2-turn [DoT]. When Concerto Bud evolves into Concerto Flower, the successful inflicting chance increases to 40%; when Concerto Flower evolves into Concerto Flower Sprite, inflicted stacks change to 2 stack(s).

How to counter?

The add-ons progressively evolve throughout the fight to become more dangerous, focus on high Single Target damage to quickly end Sharon’s antics.

Team Composition Tips

Sharon’s whole gimmick is about abusing the DoT effects against you - perhaps as a form of revenge for all the other Shell Bosses who fell victim to your own DoT spamming. In essence, the fight is either very easy or very demanding, depending on the units at your disposal:

Healer/Support - Frequently applying Immunity removes almost all danger from the Boss:

Lingluo happens to be a free SSR with insane HoT and Immunity - the only reason for not playing her is if you’re using more offensive strategies;
Sania and
Freya remain competent at cleansing the DoTs.

DPS - Another Hollow Boss, another easy target for
Lian or
Khloros
Buffer/Debuffer -
Dinah excels in this fight, as each of her skills has a big impact on Sharon;

Special mention to
Chiaki [The Echo]
Beyontin and
Helkid who all provide some very strong utility.

Tank - A Tank isn’t necessary here, however as a Reason Unit
Rin once again performs well here. Although, if you can already deal with the DoTs easily, there is no need for tanking in this fight.
