Entry Requirements for Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl

Gameplay Mechanics: Beetle Battles in Genshin Impact

The event pits your Onikabuto beetle against various enemies in a simulated battle within your Serenitea Pot at Mt. Aocang. Controls are simple: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Stronger attacks, like Piercing Strike (hold attack button), require more stamina.

Encountering the Foes: Strategies for Each Stage

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

1. "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A basic Hilichurl; focus attacks on its head, dodging ground markings indicating attacks.
2. "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Target its head and the Pyro Slime, especially when it's preparing to throw it.
3. "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": A Pyro Abyss Mage. Interrupt its fire spell casting, then attack repeatedly. Dodge its fireballs and flame pillars.
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 swiftly, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; utilize Piercing Strike for maximum damage.

Difficulty and Gameplay Tips

Select "Focused Fight" (two-star difficulty) for optimal Primogem rewards (30 and 20 Primogems per stage). "Utmost Might" (three-star difficulty), unlocked after completing Focused Fight, offers Mora and Enhancement Ores but no Primogems. Utilize Piercing Strikes strategically. Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy behavior information. Co-op mode is available; select "Match" to team up.

Rewards and Event Duration

Complete the event on Utmost Might difficulty to earn a total of 420 Primogems. Other rewards include Hero's Wit, Sanctifying Unction, Mora, and Mystic Enhancement Ore.
