• Get 20 adventure rank or higher.

Thorns and Crowns Event Guide

During the event, you will have to go through stages consisting of two rounds - "Trial of Thorns" and "Ode to Crowns". In the first round, you are given a specific goal that must be completed. The more successful the result, the more buffs are given to the second round.

In Ode to Crowns, endless waves of enemies appear. Use the power-ups you got in the previous round and defeat as many enemies as possible to get more points. To get all the rewards in each stage, you need to get 12 points.

Occasionally, an incarnation of Wyob will appear in the arena and activate "Arena: Moment of Trial". The effect absorbs all the energy of the characters, increasing their damage. For example, destroy Wyob's shield to return the energy and prevent the incarnation from creating a solid barrier.

The Test of the Stone, the Song of the Fireflies

Set the score multiplier to Hard or Fearless to get the highest possible score.

To get all the rewards, you must first collect all the buffs in the first round, and then complete the second round with at least 12 points.

• To do this, add to 1 squad Zhongli. Kachina can be replaced with a combination of Pyro + Electro characters, which will create an Overload reaction, which additionally removes a shield bar. You don't have to worry about game synergy, since the fight itself will take place in the second round.
• For Team 2, make up any squad with a Dendro core in the center (mastery of the elements. You can also take it simply from Burning, since there are Hydro slimes among the enemies.

Trial of thorns

Actively use E and Navia's normal attacks. If Zhongli is present, make sure that his pillar, which "sucks" Geo shields from the enemy, is near them. Don't forget about Overload to quickly remove shields. Try to group enemies so that the blows hit several at once.

Ode to Crowns

Attack the enemies that gradually appear on the field:

• During the Dendro of the Molds, you can deal the main damage as a sub-DD, if they are not Dendro elements, since these enemies have high resistance to their element.
• The most difficult enemies are Ruin Guardians. You can save buffs from s during the fight with other, more "thin" enemies in order to give the best damage against mini-bosses and defeat them faster.

The Test of Flowers, the Song of the Chilling Wind

It is recommended to complete the test on Hard/Fearless difficulty, as more difficult opponents give more points. To get all the rewards, you need to collect 12.

In the second stage, the first squad must be assembled to receive all the boosts, and in the second stage, strong heroes must be placed who can implement them:

• It is recommended to take characters in 1 team that can consistently cause reactions Vegetation or Bloom. For this, you will need Hydro and Dendro heroes to get buds, as well as Electro or Pyro character to explode them. Use trial Yao Yao to make the objective easier to complete. If the unit has a stable elemental status, you can stop at one reaction, otherwise you will have to call both.
• In the 2nd team you need to put any Hydro (Jean), which will help to pump up energy and lower the defense of opponents.

Trial of thorns

Try to keep an eye on the constant presence of elemental status on enemies so that reactions occur. To do this, it is not necessary to kill opponents, it is enough to constantly attack them with skills. Pay attention to the buds and explode them before they are destroyed on their own. The most convenient moment to perform reactions is the appearance of Hydro slimes and mimics.

Ode to Crowns

To the test, you need to destroy as many enemies as possible. Try to attack all enemies at once to evenly remove their HP. Also, do not forget to use the Dispersion reaction before the main damager's rotation to significantly reduce the enemy attack. Since the buffs last only 8 seconds, it is recommended to use them at the beginning of a more difficult fight and not waste time, for example, on slimes, which are easily killed without them.

The Trial of Wyob, Song of Lightfall

As in the previous levels, it is recommended to set the difficulty to higher to get more points.

To the test, it is recommended to adhere to the following points:

• The first team should destroy the shield of the incarnation of Viob caves and rocks as quickly as possible. Since the enemy has increased resistance to Geo, it is not recommended to take heroes of this element into the squad. Use the trial Dehyey, and also take other characters to the team to cause reactions. It is preferable to choose those characters that do not rely on the ult, since Wyob drains energy. Heroes with two-handed swords and the Overload reaction to destroy the Geo Shield are also suitable.
• In the second team, on the contrary, it is necessary to choose heroes that deal a lot of damage with an explosion of elements in order to realize all the buffs. Among such heroes, we can highlight Yae Miko and others.

Trial of thorns

Use powerful attacks to quickly destroy Wyoob's barriers and gain buffs. If you fail to remove the barrier before the Arena ends, the incarnation will replace it with a Geo Shield. Also, to avoid waiting for a new barrier to appear, you can destroy Wyoob while the creature is without a shield and immediately take on the next one that appears after it. When using a trial Kinich, it is recommended to use elemental skills, as they quickly break through shields.

Ode to Crowns

The second trial will require you to defeat as many enemies as possible using elemental burst damage buffs. Note that if you have received the second buff, you should use your primary damage dealer's ultimate last to give it the most critical chance. Also, try to save your Sacred Beast buffs during the fight, as they are the most difficult enemies.

The test of thunder, the song of rapid progress

Set the difficulty to high to make the fourth trial easier. It is more about the agility of the characters than their strength.

Some recommendations for ing this stage:

• In Trial of Thorns, try to pay attention to the increased mobility of the character, since at the level it is more important not to deal damage, but to move quickly. For this, you can take such characters asSayu.
• For the second team in Odu Koron, Pyro or Geo damage dealers or similar sub-DDs are suitable, who will be able to use the buff on crit. chance and crit. damage and damage increase. Among them, you can consider Ningguang and others.

Trial of thorns

To the first stage, you need to defeat as many enemies as possible using thunder loops. Thunder loops are an Electro circle that appears around the active character during the battle. Use any hero skill that helps him move faster. Move from one group of enemies to another to destroy opponents.

Ode to Crowns

In Ode of Crowns, there are enemies on the battlefield marked with a yellow mark under their feet. Try to focus all damage on this enemy to cause a shockwave and increase the damage of all characters. When ing, it is highly recommended not to get distracted by unmarked enemies, since the squad will lose the 120% damage increase after calling the wave.

The test of broken fragments, the song of melting

Before starting the stage, set the difficulty to Fearless or Hard to make it easier to get 12500 points. In this challenge, you will need to pick up allies' elements to quickly break through enemy shields.

Key points to consider when selecting squads:

• In the first round, you need to destroy the enemy's elemental shields. Since the shields of the Void mages have different elements that react with each other, the best characters to are the heroes of the Anemo element. Put trialists in the team Heizo. You can take any available Anemo characters for the remaining two slots.
• The second team should play through Steam or Melt reactions to fully utilize the buffs gained from Trial of Thorns. You can choose any Pyro (Laila etc).

Trial of thorns

To the test, you need to destroy as many shields of the Abyss mages as possible. To do this, try to activate the abilities of the Anemo characters more often, which are able to absorb and inflate the elements. Since the mages appear in groups of several and have different elements, their shields will be destroyed by themselves thanks to the Anemo element.

Ode to Crowns

In the second stage, the most difficult enemies are the Rift Protogens and the Outcast Hilichurls. Try to summon Steam or Melt with the characters' skills. This will not only increase their damage, but also cause a whirlwind that will pull enemies to one point and help deal damage to all enemies at once.
