Make sure you have a Geo elemental character or a Claymore weapon before you start. You can always use the Geo attuned Traveler or Noelle without needing to depend on the rarer characters. You will need them to destroy the Geo Crystals that periodically spawn during the battle, which can only be cleared effectively by using Geo attacks or Claymore attacks.
Attack Strategy
You will need to destroy the Geo Crystals that are generated by the Ruin Serpent by using Geo characters, and create Lumen energy which powers your Lumenstone Adjuvant.
Use Geo attacks to deal damage to the Serpent, but the main objective is to stay alive and keep attacking when you have the opportunity to do so. Thus, it will be a long fight. The best F2P character to use to deal damage is unquestionably Noelle. You can also have Kaeya and the Geo attuned Traveler to deal sub damage, and Barbara to heal your party.
Defense Strategy
When the Ruin Serpent burrows into the ground, it will create fields of Dark Mud and Oozing Concretions around the arena. You will need to clear out the Oozing Concretions by using your Lumenstone Adjuvant. This will dispel the Dark Mud around it, allowing you to have more space on the battlefield. The Serpent will also spin around and absorb your energy which you can stop by using your Lumenstone Adjuvant.
Use your shield characters when the Serpent performs a sweeping attack by preparing to smash itself into the ground and swiping both sides. It’s quite difficult to dodge, so a shield is your best bet.
