Guide for the Crossfire Vortex event in Genshin Impact: how to get through

Enter the dungeon and get ready for battle. During the age, slimes will periodically appear on the battlefield. Use the turret to destroy them with special projectiles. Final points are awarded for the number of monsters defeated. Larger slimes give more points. To make the turret easier to use, it has a sight line. Move your character to change its direction.

Click on the button to use a charged shot. Turret projectiles have one random effect - Electro, Hydro or Pyro. To understand what element a projectile is, pay attention to its color and aiming line.

Reinforcements

Since both slimes and projectiles have elemental effects, they are able to react with each other and cause reactions. Each of them activates random boosts.

Overload: Causes an area explosion and knocks up enemies.
Freeze: Attacks Cryo and Physical. damage in the area, and also reduces opponents' resistance to all elements.
Dissolve: enhances the next attack, increases its area and additionally attacks physical. damage.

Slimes are immune to whatever element they themselves possess.

As the battle progresses, the device gradually accumulates energy, which can be spent on performing an enhanced knockdown shot. In total there is only enough energy for two such projectiles.

Types of tests

There are three types of tests in total - standard, stress tests and extreme. In the standard test, the slimes stand still, and the "Unlimited Firepower" device is also present. Hit the device with a projectile to switch the turret to continuous physical firing mode. shells for 6 sec.

From time to time you can also find the “Crushing Blow” device, which has an Electro, Pyro or Cryo type. Hit it with any projectile to instantly destroy all slimes of that element. Another device encountered in battle is the “Simulated Obstacle”. Hit it with a piercing shot to destroy it.

During stress tests, slimes begin to constantly move towards the retreat line, which is located in front of the turret. Slimes that leave the battlefield will not be counted towards points. Defeat as many enemies as possible before they cross the line. The stress tests also feature a Load Field device. Hit it to create a field that pulls enemies towards you and deals physical damage. damage.

Progress bar

In extreme tests, at the top of the screen you can see a progress bar that is constantly decreasing. Kill slimes with turret shots to receive challenge rewards that will increase their progress. The difficulty of extreme tests increases over time - not only does the rate at which progress decreases, but also the score multiplier for defeating enemies.

Standard test

These types of tests cover stages 1 and 3 of the event.

First Round

To the test, you must defeat as many slimes as possible within the allotted time. Monsters can be not only of different elements, but also of sizes - small and large. To destroy a large slime, you need to hit it several times or throw it out of the field, but it gives a higher score.

A device appears on the battlefield periodically "Unlimited Firepower". Hit it with a shot and the turret will begin firing projectiles that deal physical damage for a short time. Such projectiles do not cause reactions, but deal more damage to slimes.

Second round

During the test, the slimes remain in one place, and special mechanisms appear that perform crushing blows of a certain element.

The element of impact depends on the color of the device. Shoot it to destroy all the slimes of that element in one go.

A simulated obstacle will also periodically appear, blocking the ability to hit the slimes. To destroy it, you need to shoot it with a piercing projectile. Such a projectile can be obtained after the turret has accumulated energy. To shoot, get close to her.

stress test

These types of tests cover stages 2 and 4 of the event.

First Round

In this round, the slimes do not stand still, but continuously move towards the edge of the field, which is located in front of the turret. Try to destroy the monsters before they disappear, otherwise points will not be counted for them.

As in the previous challenge, "Unlimited Firepower" will periodically appear on the battlefield. Shoot the device to activate the physical. projectiles that cause increased damage.

In addition, there is a new mechanism in battle, "Load field". Wait for the slimes to get closer to him and shoot him. The device will create an area that pulls enemies towards it and inflicts physical damage on them. damage.

Second round

As in the first round of the stress test, the slimes constantly move towards a line located near the turret and disappear as soon as they reach it. Try to hold them back with a tie from the “Load Field”.

Use "Unlimited Firepower" to quickly clear a crowd of slimes by shooting physical projectiles at them.

Don't forget to pay attention to the elements of Crushing Blow. Try to shoot them to use when there are a lot of slimes of the desired element on the field in order to destroy them all in an instant.

Extreme test

In the extreme test there is no specific time that you need to spend on ing. Instead, there is a special timer at the top of the screen, which is also the progress of the test. Defeat slimes to fill the timer and extend the time to complete the stage. Be careful, as the difficulty of the challenge increases over time and the progress on the timer decreases faster.

Also in this test all the mechanisms from previous rounds are present. Use Crushing Strike to quickly clear out slimes of one element, and Load Field to position the coupler at one point and deal constant physical damage to the slimes.

Experiment for the future

Once you complete all stages of the turret test, return to the gendarmes and talk to them. Frejus and Chenet will thank you for your help, and will also say that they now want to start a new invention that will help in everyday life.
