We hope that the guide helped you to the stages of the Chronicle of Changing Stratagems event in Genshin Impact. If you encountered any difficulties while closing the levels, please share them in comments. You can find out about other events in event schedule.
In the last test, Skufie suddenly started playing in the second one, where there is melt. Much better than Rosaria or the third pyro. I suspect that she will have time to appear in many places outside of her native Friz-Furin packs.
I'll say right away that I don't have Varessa, to avoid further arguments, but!) God, what kind of wildness is this in the comments?) Where does so much hatred for pixels come from in people? If you don't like the character, just skip the content with him, and don't whine, I swear, you're behaving like little children.
I also want to say that the event is the easiest, you just need to turn on your brain sometimes and be able to read)) easy spins to everyone ))))
I ask myself the same question. They hate some characters so much, as if they had done something wrong to them in real life. And they behave as if "their opinion>others' opinion". They will probably never understand the fact that the game is made for different audiences, and each player has their own preferences. But if you suddenly like a character that these people think should be removed, then you are generally bad, and on par with a bad guy with a mustache.
I will never cease to be amazed by the community of this gacha. Everything new is bad, but Mondstat is the peak of game design.
I kiss your thoughts
Moreover, there are no arguments as to why the game has gone downhill since Liyue. Only some subjective whining. People don't like the new regions because there is gameplay diversity, lots of riddles and other things, they enjoy running around and looting flowers and sugars and chests hidden behind stones.
Since it's the easiest, then share the secret of how to get to platinum with trial Varesa and Kinich. So far I've only seen one option - whale Harlequin in the second half of the trials. I don't have Harlequin.
In the third trial, the trial , and I managed to easily get platinum. I conclude: because the trial stats are ridiculous, and also 80 lvl. increases mobs resistance, and as a DD, even with excellent s, it is difficult to get more than 8000 points, but Escoffier only increases damage and sits in the pocket, and normally assembled DDs easily get 8000 in one half.
I have one person with a kit among my friends, he got platinum on this particular trial - 57680. Well, there's Nevi, Sitlali, Furina, Ayaka - all c6 and even with P5 signals. Escoffier is true c0 - but also not a trial one, but his own. This is about how easy it is to complete the event if you have everything pumped up.
Even though I was unbanned, I decided to create a challenge for myself again and ed the first round without cheats for platinum 16400 and the second round 17000 (I chose the maximum difficulty, the packs were like this:
First round, first half Vares c0 with Kazik p5 (stats are very fat), Furina c1 with Trumpet p5, Iansan c0 (eh) with Dialogue p5 and Heron with craft from Fontaine p5
First round, second half Vares c0 with Kazik p5, Chevreuse c6 with Deathmatch p1, Mavuika c0 with Bone p1, Chip c6 with Besstrunny p5
Second round, first half trial Kinich, trial neural network, pyro gg c6 with The Black Sword p1, Bennett c6, second half trial Kinich, Toma c6 with Black brush p5, Mavuika c0 with Bone p1, Furina c1 with pipe p5
A couple of tips: don't chase stats, but reactions - it's better to try to collect the best packs for the proposed heroes, also ideally don't take a trial, although in my case I managed to get platinum on the trial Naruto, but it took 6 attempts, and also try to gain as much energy as possible on the characters, because they all start exactly with zero (mhm)
Of course, it's worth paying attention to "unbanned". But how did you get through it? Could you describe it step by step. How did you get through it? Okay. The first dungeon. There, the Cow is more of a stopper. And in the second dungeon in the first part. Stoppers are already needed. And 3 out of 3. True, there is a fat mob after it. And good luck taking it down.
Step by step, rotation every second?
With the cow, I started with saps, 1 half dispersed everyone's ults with Eshki (Heron-Fura-Iansan-Cow), the 2nd half chevrez - a trick - Mavuika-Cow, ulted in the same order (but ulted with the Heron before the cow, so that there would be some benefit from the planzhukhs)
Second part, 1 half - Bennett, Neurka, Pyro gg, Kinich, second half Fura, Mavuika, Toma, Kinich, Ult in the same order (Bennett always first, so there are snapshots)
I haven't completed the third part yet, I'll add to it later
Well, I emphasize that, like all those YouTubers with their “only fours in the abyss,” I didn’t get through it on the first try, or even the second, but literally *swear word*, because, like the event with the card, it required pumped-up Natlanians
Actually, for part 3:
1 half trial ladle, Furina c1, Charlotte c3 and Nevi c1
2nd half trial ladle, Ye Lan c1, Rosaria c6 and trial Ayaka
I got 16400, and the first half pulled in more than half of the amount, but in the second, this misunderstanding from Hoyo was picking at the enemies for quite a long time, so thanks to my fat Nevi and no less fat Furina, who helped with overstats
I handed over the E's and Ults in the same order that I put the characters
The first trial "Heavenly Thunder" is ed calmly and with my favorite, albeit trial, Varesa. I simply set up a squad as in one of the images on this page. This is quite enough to get the Primogems. They do not give a card or any other worthwhile reward, so you can save your nerves.
First part: Varesa (trial), Ororon, Furina, Xian Yun (trial).
Second part: Varesa (trial), Xian Ling, Chevreuse, Bennett.
I ed without any stress, considering Ororon is level 40 with zero artifacts and Furina, whose artifacts are, God willing, level 10.
Correction: Chevreuse is also a trial, and not from my .
I also played on Fearless difficulty, which has a 20x multiplier.
ed - in the sense of platinum?
I wrote that this and subsequent squads according to this scheme are quite enough to get primogems. These are the first three awards; Bronze, Silver, Gold 1. I don't see the point in wasting my nerves to specifically take all the awards from the event. I took the primogems and that's it. There was some card, skin or weapon, then yes, you could sweat. But trying to squeeze all 101% out of your for 40k mora and a couple of crystals with books is a lost cause.
Without platinum, this is information at the level of “mom, I pooped”, sorry.
This was information for those who, like me, are not going to waste their last nerve cells on pixels. Quickly run for the sake of primogems and forget.
If my comment didn't satisfy you, you could have just scrolled further. I know myself that there are stubborn people here who are tearing their hair out for an extra 40k mora. No negativity.
Why platinum? To show off to classmates? The rewards are total garbage, even the buttons are lazy to press for one and a half elixir and a couple thousand mora.
But why write "ed" on the forum if you can "" by simply taking 3 characters from your teams to the Abyss and stupidly playing 3x rotation without using the trial? You can even spit on the recommended elements and lose 50% of the points but still get the gems.
Well, the event is actually needed for looting gems, the rest is for amateurs. I don't understand the complaints, rl.
Because you (I hope) don't run to the forum to brag about how you killed another world or weekly boss? Why? It's the same here - the difficulty before platinum is too easy to even mention.
No lol, I generally think that bragging about your success in a gacha game is cringe. But bragging about platinum, when every second person posts screenshots of how they valiantly ed another challenge with a raid and a furina, is also cringe.
Apparently, things are so bad that it is no longer enough to simply offer a character as a free alternative, now you have to forcefully shove him into the squad. Nice try, I it, but alas, this did not stop me from taking all the rewards without using the fat at all.
Why such hatred towards the character? Are you jealous that she doesn't get fat when she eats as much as you?
I agree. I myself puked from femboy Furina and E-skufie, tried to minimize Fontaine's feces in my pack.
Having your own Varesa certainly makes the difference. I believe it will be the same in the following stages. The key point here is killing the hamster, it gives 3000+ points. The second stage is closed simply by the timer. In total, I managed to close it for 19900 points
What a f***ing event. Do they seriously think that if they make a test Mercedes useless, everyone will be like "Wow, I want to knock it off!"? Brilliant f***ing, just the marketing of the century. Maybe the character himself is okay, but this kind of "PR" is a slap in the face. Why couldn't they have released a character with a signature and normal art so that he could be tested properly, and not with this disgrace? Did they want to promote their Varesa and other Natlan? Dhave achieved exactly the opposite effect. I will not twist your cow on principle. Congratulations to the developers - the bottom level has been broken, forward to the abyss f***!
Genshinyata as usual. Hey, Natlan is almost over, there's no point in promoting it anymore, it's just a stopgap event lol
What advertising? The Natlan region is over, the next reruns will be in a year, God willing, ahead of us awaits the allowed "Snezhnaya" and the dream of incels - Skirk.
What advertising? Maybe Escufier, which ended, femboy-Furina and Ye Lan are also advertising? Or the newest character Nahida? What's wrong with the logic of Genshinyat?
Don't spin the cow, for you they farted out Fontaine's diarrhea in the face of a hydrant, the dreams of 40-year-old women, and a theater-going femboy.
Everything is "simple" - collect your best packs and go through using only 3 heroes. Yes, it is not simple. But the trial Vares is just some kind of misunderstanding. Here the trial Heron will be needed - against the Natlan hamster - there you need an attack in the fall or three pokes from him and he will hatch back.
ed on 16+ Varesa was just a stopper.
No more of your own well-fed Varesa - no platinum in sight. Well, ok...
Brilliant decision to loop the character.
And they started with Varesa. I have nothing against her as a character, but I have absolutely no desire to play her, and I don’t know what buttons to press there, because even with all the simplicity of the rotation - E>normal attack>attack while falling>repeat>ult>repeat from the beginning - there is just so little damage that I just can’t do it. Even under Xian Yun with Furina and Ororon.
And this f***ing hamster is immortal. And they tied him only to certain elements. Each time these "tests" only get worse.
I'll have to play with this stupid cow again :(((
Well, it was added for your self-insert, so to speak.
