Conquer the Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact 5.3! This guide provides a straightforward walkthrough for this limited-time event's five beetle battles.
Entry Requirements:
- Adventure Rank 20 or higher.
- Completion of the Mondstadt Archon Quest Prologue. Completing Xianyun's Story Quest "Grus Serena Chapter" adds context, but isn't mandatory.
Gameplay Mechanics:
The event pits your Onikabuto beetle against various enemies in a simulated battle within your Serenitea Pot. Controls are simple: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Utilize Piercing Strikes (hold attack button) for enhanced damage.
Battle Strategies:
Here's a breakdown of each stage's opponent and recommended tactics:
- "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A basic Hilichurl; repeatedly target its head, dodging its attacks indicated by ground markings.
- "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Focus attacks on its head and the Pyro Slime, especially when it prepares to throw it.
- "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": A Pyro Abyss Mage. Interrupt its spellcasting, then attack repeatedly. Dodge its fireballs and flame pillars.
- "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who’s Actually Freezing Cold": A Cryo Abyss Mage. Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
- "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": A Stonehide Lawachurl. Attack swiftly, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.
Difficulty and Rewards:
Play on "Focused Fight" (two-star difficulty) for optimal Primogem rewards (30-20 per stage). "Utmost Might" (three-star) offers Mora and Enhancement Ores but no Primogems. Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy attack patterns. Co-op mode is available for teamwork.
A total of 420 Primogems are obtainable on Utmost Might difficulty. Other rewards include Hero's Wit, Sanctifying Unction, Mora, and Mystic Enhancement Ore.
