How To Play Shuyu’s Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact
The event's premise is simple yet fun: you control an Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles within a Teapot at Mt. Aocang against various overworld enemies. This activity reflects the in-game lore where beetle battling is a popular pastime among children.
The controls are straightforward, consisting of Forward, Back, and Jump. Mastering these is key, but timing and stamina management are crucial. Your Onikabuto consumes stamina when moving, and more when you hold a direction for a longer dash or to execute a powerful attack like the Piercing Strike.
Here's a breakdown of the opponents you'll face in each of the five stages and strategies to defeat them:
- "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A Hilichurl that you can defeat by repeatedly hitting its head. Watch for the ground markings indicating its attack zone and dodge accordingly.
- "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. It's slow and vulnerable to headshots. The Pyro Slime is a weak spot, especially when it's about to be thrown.
- "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": A Pyro Abyss Mage that's tougher due to its fireballs and vertical flame pillars. Interrupt its chant to knock it down, then attack relentlessly.
- "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who’s Actually Freezing Cold": A Cryo Abyss Mage. Use the same strategy as with the Pyro Abyss Mage to defeat it.
- "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": A Stonehide Lawachurl. Be agile and watch for its attacks. Continuously strike it until a Geo Slime appears, then use a Piercing Strike on the Slime for maximum damage.
Gameplay for Shuyu’s Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact
Opt for the Focused Fight difficulty (two stars) to maximize your rewards, including an additional 30 and 20 Primogems per stage. After clearing Focused Fight, you can unlock the Utmost Might difficulty (three stars), which offers Mora and Enhancement Ores instead of Primogems. Remember to use Piercing Strikes (by holding the attack button) strategically in certain stages.
Each enemy has unique behaviors, so if you're unsure how to tackle them, consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for tips. Additionally, the event features a co-op mode; simply select "Match" before starting a stage to team up with other players and take down enemies together.
