Miasma is a unique Ether-derived substance found in the Lemnian Hollow. Typically occurring as a liquid, it's highly active and corrupts the mind, causing madness and blurring the line between illusion and reality. Those who step into the Miasma become corrupted into Ethereals.

Special Gameplay

All info is taken from the official HoYoLAB post Ridu Renovation Talk Vol. 4: Investigation Zone Gameplay Guide

Miasmic Field and Miasma Shield

Some enemies draw energy from Miasma to activate a special Miasmic Field while gaining a Miasma Shield. Within these special field, Proxies can use Perception Techniques to break down the Miasma coagulum and weaken the enemy's "Miasma Shield."
When certain bosses activate the Miasmic Field and gain a Miasmic Shield, they cannot be Stunned. During this time, Agent attacks can reduce the Miasmic Shield, and using certain Skills will increase [sic] the shield more effectively. When the Miasmic Shield is broken, enemies will take Purify DMG, Agents restore Energy or Adrenaline, and the surrounding Miasmic Field is cleared.

Miasma Tumors

During exploration, Miasma Tumors may be blocking the way. Use Perception Techniques to break all nearby connected Miasma Cores to clear them.

Miasma Contamination

Some Exploration Areas contain special Miasma enviroments. Engaging in combat or staying in these areas for an extended period will cause the team to continuously accumulate Miasma Contamination. When the Miasma Contamination value reaches its limit, all Agents will receive DMG based on a percentage of their current HP. Proxies can reduce Miasma Contamination buildup by either leaving the area or getting closer to the Miasma Purifier, and get close to a Fissure Beacon to instantly restore the whole squad's HP.
Some enemies' attacks carry the Miasma Corruption attribute. When these attacks hit an Agent, the squad will accumulate Miasma Contamination. Some enemies' skills can generate a special Miasma Pool, which adds additional effects on cerain enemy skills.
