Genshin Impact's Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl: A Guide to Victory
Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl is a limited-time event in Genshin Impact Version 5.3, challenging players to beetle battles. This guide provides a straightforward approach to conquering all five battles.
Event Participation Requirements
To join the fun, ensure you meet these prerequisites:
- 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's premise is simple: utilize an Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles within your Serenitea Pot at Mt. Aocang against various enemies. Beetle battling is a playful pastime in the Genshin Impact world, and this event lets you experience it firsthand.
Controls are intuitive – Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Powerful attacks, like Piercing Strike (hold attack button), require significantly more.
Strategies for Each Battle
Here's a breakdown of each stage's opponent and effective strategies:
- Staff Master (Basic Horizontal Sweeps): A standard Hilichurl; consistently target its head, dodging ground-marked attack zones.
- Staff Master (Torch Wielder): 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 relentlessly. Dodge its fireballs and flame pillars.
- Bouncy, Energetic Cryo Mage: A Cryo Abyss Mage. Employ the same tactic as with the Pyro Abyss Mage.
- Mini Mountain (Stonehide Lawachurl): A swift and careful approach is needed. Attack persistently; a Geo Slime will appear – utilize Piercing Strike for maximum damage.
Difficulty Selection and Co-op
Select "Focused Fight" (two-star difficulty) for optimal Primogem rewards (30-20 per stage). "Utmost Might" (three-star) unlocks after completing Focused Fight, offering Mora and Enhancement Ores but no Primogems.
Utilize Piercing Strikes strategically. The "Dossier on Opponent" provides helpful insights into enemy behaviors. A co-op mode allows teaming up with other players.
Rewards and Event Duration
Complete all stages on Utmost Might difficulty to earn 420 Primogems. Additional rewards include Hero's Wit, Sanctifying Unction, Mora, and Mystic Enhancement Ore.
The event concludes on January 13, 2025, at 03:59 server time. Don't miss out on these rewards!
