combat training

Also, the player is waiting for 8 combat training in the specified zones. On the territory of the enemy camps there are baits that can freeze the player (accelerate the filling of the severe frost scale) or warm (clear the scale).

There are three gears next to the lure. They are activated by strikes charged with scarlet quartz, which can be found nearby, or obtained by killing monsters.

When three mechanisms are activated, the bait becomes thermal, granting characters the following buffs:

• the active hero at the bait restores energy at certain intervals;
• under the influence of scarlet quartz, a shock wave of Pyro damage is launched at the attacked enemies.

Rewards are issued after defeating all enemy waves in the able zone. Among them will again be Snowmobile Sealsand other valuable items.

Walkthrough Special Training: Dragonspine in Genshin Impact

Below are recommendations for ing individual tests with routes and information about opponents.

Speed ​​training

Below are detailed maps of each route.

Rapid descent

Be careful! There will be a fork just before the finish line. You must select the rings on the left to collect the maximum number of points.

Up and down

The route begins at the only statue of the Archon on Dragonspine. Jump off in a northerly direction and fly down, collecting emblems.

Then move down the path, after taking the jump boost to overcome three walls of ice blocks.

After them, jump onto the remains of the ruins to pick up the emblem on the left side of the path and go down for a power-up that allows you to break ice pillars.

Move down the path, collecting power-ups, and destroy the glowing pillars to get emblems from them.

At the end of this section of the path after the checkpoint, go right. Grab the jump boost, get over the fence, and get the emblems on the buildings in the Hilichurl camp.

On the other side of the camp across the lake, move across the ice, dodging the mud balls that explode and block your view if touched.

Behind the lake, fly along the wind rings to the finish line. It is enough to jump on a glider into the middle of the ring so as not to miss any of the emblems.

Icebreaker promotion

In fact, this test is not much different from the previous ones. Of particular interest are ice ledges (spikes), sticking out of the mountain, on which you need to jump up. It is extremely easy to stumble and lose the jump buff in the time it takes for the hero to climb back to the ledge. Also during the flight will appear swirl balls (greenish with an Anemo icon on the side), which, when colliding with a character start pulling him in into a small whirlpool, preventing you from flying further for ~5 seconds.

snow sprint

Pathfinder Training

Further, all points for the start of tests and the location of ice blocks are placed. It is enough to have a character in the Pyro squad to quickly melt them all. Parts of a snowman randomly fall out of the blocks (not from each). In fact, you don't even have to fight the enemies you meet, quickly destroying objects.

First test

Second test

Third test

Fourth test

Fifth trial

For a few blocks you need to go down into the cave, and then climb around the mountain back to the teleport.

Sixth test

Seventh trial

Eighth test

combat training

The following is information about monsters and recommendations for choosing heroes for the squad, as well as maps with the position of heating devices and scarlet quartz. Don't forget that Scarlet Quartz can be used to increase attack damage against particularly formidable enemies, and characters' energy will regenerate faster near the Heat Lure.

First test

Necessary defeat 18 monsters for the allotted time. Almost all enemies are enchanted for Cryo damage: Hilichurls-Arrows, Cryo Slimes, Cryo Shamachurls. In addition to a rapidly filling frost gauge, they can attack the character with elemental hits. Recommended use Electro and Pyro characters, as well as to refuse Hydro, which can expose teammates to freezing attacks.

Second test

Compared to the first test, the number of Cryo Shamachurls will decrease, but the Cryo mages of the Abyss will appear. The rest of the opponents do not change, as well as our recommendations for choosing heroes in the squad. Preference should be given to Electro and Pyro characters.

Third test

The main opponents are Kryo arrows of hilichurls and shamachurls. Monsters of this element effectively freeze wet targets. Otherwise, they are not a problem, especially if Pyro and Electro characters are used against them. In general, nothing has changed regarding past tests.

Fourth test

The most difficult opponents are a large cryo slime and an ice shell lavachurl. They have shields that need to be shot down. For this, again, Crio and Pyro characters are ideal. It is also worth considering that one thermal device is covered by the Anemo barrier. Use a strike charged with scarlet quartz near the barrier. It doesn't have to be inside.

Fifth trial

A fairly simple stage - 9 easy cryo opponents (slimes or hilichurls), as well as a large lavachurl with an ice shell. Pyro and Electro characters quickly deal with the task at hand. Crimson Quartz shockwaves amplify the effectiveness of these heroes.

Sixth test

By analogy with the previous stage - 12 small opponents and 2 mitachurls with cryo shields, which can be quickly knocked down by attacks charged with scarlet quartz.

Seventh trial

Several cryo slimes and two mitachurls with ice shields. Pyro and Electro heroes with AoE damage are best played against them. At the same time, you need to constantly pick up scarlet quartz in order to quickly knock down shields.

Eighth test

The main enemy is a lavachurl with a hoarfrost shell. A dozen cryo slimes help him. In fact, you can destroy these opponents in the same way as in previous days. Pyro and Electro characters. It is also very important to pick up scarlet quartz to knock down shields and deal high damage to enemies.

Reward

For completing special training, the player will receive:

• source stones;
• Snowmobile seals;
• snowman parts;
• Moru;
• magical enhancement ore.

At the first stage, the number of awards depends on the points scored, and in the rest, the very fact of ing is important. Moreover, pathfinder training and combat training cannot be started without going through speed training, which opens on the same day.

Snowmobile seals are exchanged in the event shop for weapon upgrade materials, hero experience and magical enhancement ore, as well as for exaltation material Cinnabar spindle - Alkagest.
