Genshin Guide: Beetle Battle Tips for Victory

Conquer the Shuyu's Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact 5.3! This guide provides a straightforward approach to mastering this limited-time beetle battling event.

Event Requirements:

To participate, you'll need:

• 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 features five simulated beetle battles within the Serenitea Pot on Mt. Aocang. You control an Onikabuto beetle using simple controls: Forward, Backward, and Jump. Mastering timing and stamina management is key, as movement and attacks consume stamina. Remember to utilize Piercing Strikes (by holding the attack button) for increased damage.

Enemy Strategies:

Here's a breakdown of each battle:

1. Staff Master (Basic Hilichurl): Repeated head attacks are effective. Watch for ground markings indicating attack zones.
2. Torch-Wielding Berserker (Hilichurl Berserker): Target the head; the Pyro Slime it carries is also a weak point, particularly when preparing to throw it.
3. Pyro Abyss Mage: Interrupt its incantations, then attack. Watch out for fireballs and flame pillars.
4. Cryo Abyss Mage: Employ the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
5. Stonehide Lawachurl: A fast-paced battle. Attack aggressively, and target the Geo Slime that appears for significant damage using a Piercing Strike.

Difficulty & Rewards:

• Focused Fight (Two Stars): Recommended for optimal Primogem rewards (30-20 per stage).
• Utmost Might (Three Stars): Unlocks after completing Focused Fight, offering Mora and Enhancement Ores but no Primogems.

Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy behavior tips. A co-op mode allows teaming up with other players. Complete all challenges on Utmost Might difficulty to earn a total of 420 Primogems, along with Hero's Wit, Sanctifying Unction, Mora, and Mystic Enhancement Ore.

Don't miss out! The event concludes on January 13, 2025, at 03:59 Genshin Impact server time.
