Hawad can be found in the Caravan Ribat of Sumeru in Genshin Impact. He is one of the few NPC Adventure Challenges in the area, similar to Atiyah's challenge in the Genshin Impact TCG. If players fail to beat Hawad's cards after he performs five attacks, the merchant will emerge as the winner.
This limitation poses a challenge as all of Hawad's cards are equipped with some form of shield. The Pyro Abyss Mage's shield can withstand 2 hits, while the Shroom's shield requires either Electro or Pyro to remove it. Thankfully, the game provides an ideal setup to defeat Hawad in the Genshin Impact TCG Adventure Challenge. Here's how you can do it.
How To Beat Hawad In Genshin Impact TCG
To easily defeat Hawad in Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG, players should focus on countering his Intent. The most effective strategy for this NPC Adventure Challenge involves utilizing the Swirling Abyss Mage's Pyro ability to eliminate the Shroom's Aerial Superiority, followed by employing Elemental Reactions to swiftly defeat them. To accomplish this, players can consider utilizing the following team composition: Jean, Shenhe, and Chongyun.
Round 1 actions
Swirl Abyss Mage’s Pyro with Jean’s Elemental Skill.
Activate Shenhe’s Ice Quill; her Cryo hit will also remove the Abyss Mage’s Pyro shield.
End the round with Chongyun as the active character.
Round 2 actions
Slay Pyro Abyss Mage with Chongyun’s Elemental Skill.
Deal a perfect 6 DMG to the Winged Cryoshroom with another one of Chongyun’s Elemental Skill.
Complete the game in the next round.
Hawad Adventure Challenge introduces the Ley Line Monolith known as "Withering Corrosion." This monolith begins with a total of 5 Candle of Life points. Whenever Hawad's card initiates an attack, one Candle of Life point is subtracted. Once all the points have been exhausted, Hawad emerges victorious.
This practically means players only have around three rounds to win the battle against Hawad in the Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG NPC Adventure Challenge.

Jean plays a crucial role in this strategy against Hawad. Not only does she utilize Swirl Pyro to affect the Shrooms, but she also forcefully switches the opponent to the Cryoshroom. This causes the Fungi to move before the Abyss Mage, enabling a second Elemental reaction against the Pyro Abyss Mage. As a result, the shield will be removed, and the monster will become stunned and unable to attack. This tactic effectively saves one Candle of Life stack in the first round.
Players should consider bringing notable cards to this fight.
