Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl Requirements in Genshin Impact

To dive into this engaging event, ensure you meet these prerequisites:

• Achieve at least Adventure Rank 20.

How To Play Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact

The event's core concept is delightfully simple yet engaging: you'll control an Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles within a Teapot at Mt. Aocang, facing off against various overworld enemies. This event taps into Genshin Impact's lore where beetle battling is a popular children's pastime.

The controls are straightforward: Forward, Back, and Jump. Mastery of timing and stamina management is crucial, as your Onikabuto's movements and special attacks like the Piercing Strike consume stamina.

Here's a breakdown of the opponents in each stage and strategies to triumph over them:

• "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": This Hilichurl is easy to defeat by repeatedly hitting its head. Be vigilant for the ground markings indicating its attack zone and dodge accordingly.
• "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": Face a Hilichurl Berserker, notable for its Pyro Slime. Target its head for quick victories, and exploit the Pyro Slime as a weak point, particularly when it's about to be thrown.
• "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": Battle a Pyro Abyss Mage, a tougher adversary with fireballs and vertical flame pillars. Interrupt its chant to knock it down and then pummel it.
• "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who's Actually Freezing Cold": Tackle a Cryo Abyss Mage using the same strategy as with the Pyro variant.
• "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": Confront a Stonehide Lawachurl. Swiftly dodge its attacks, keep hitting it, and when a Geo Slime appears, use a Piercing Strike for maximum impact.
