HSR Try Not to Laugh Challenge Event Guide
| Stage 1 | Archer, Tribbie, Sparkle, Huohuo | Consume as much SP as possible. |
| Stage 2 | Qingque, Sparkle, Tribbie, Gallagher | Make Qingque obtain her Hidden Hand state as much as possible. Use basic Attacks to generate SP for her. |
| Stage 3 | Qingque, Aventurine, Tingyun, RMC | Make Aventurine use his Ultimate as much as possible. Use Tingyun’s Ultimate on Aventurine, and also action forward him when you can with RMC. |
| Stage 4 | Feixiao, Hunt March 7th, Robin, Aventurine | Have Feixiao attack as much as possible. This shouldn’t be an issue, as long as you use Hunt March 7th’s Skill on Feixiao. |
| Stage 5 | Feixiao, Cerydra, Sparkle, Dan Heng Permansor Terrae | Again, make Fexiao attack as much as possible. But this time, use Cerydra’s peerage to make Feixiao’s Skill hit multiple times. Also, Dan Heng Permansor Terrae’s Skill works great on Feixiao for this stage. |
| Stage 6 | Sampo, Cerydra, Sparkle, Huohuo | Here, you will have to use Sampo’s Ultimate as much as possible. Use Sampo’s Skill as much as possible to quickly generate Energy for his Ultimate. |
| Stage 7 | Feixiao, Cerydra, Sparkle, Aventurine | The final stage lets you choose any previous team. But the best one is the Feixiao team, where you can keep spamming Feixiao’s attacks to easily clear the stage. |
