Event Prerequisites:

To participate, you'll need:

  • Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
  • Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue. While not mandatory, completing Xianyun's Story Quest "Grus Serena Chapter" adds context and introduces Shuyu.

Gameplay Mechanics:

The event pits your Onikabuto beetle against various enemies within a Teapot simulation on Mt. Aocang. Controls are simple: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Utilize Piercing Strikes (by holding the attack button) for powerful attacks.

Enemy Strategies:

Here's a breakdown of each stage's opponent and effective tactics:

  1. "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A basic Hilichurl; consistently target its head, dodging its predictable attacks.
  2. "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Focus on its head and the Pyro Slime, particularly when it's preparing to throw it.
  3. "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": A Pyro Abyss Mage. Interrupt its spellcasting, then attack.
  4. "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who’s Actually Freezing Cold": A Cryo Abyss Mage. Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
  5. "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": A Stonehide Lawachurl. Attack rapidly, avoiding its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.
