Guide for the Second Bloom

Throughout the event, players will have to complete 5 different challenges, having collected several units for battles in special dungeons.

Every day after the start of the event, one of the stages will open.

The event menu displays the maximum number of points scored for the battle and anomalies of the arteries of the earth, facilitating the age of the stage, as well as opponents for each of the three rounds. In addition, the window can choose the difficulty of the test, which increases or decreases the level of enemies, and a multiplier for points received for the battle.

For each stage, it is proposed to collect three squads for three rounds of testing, respectively. When choosing heroes available 4 test characters, the list of which is updated every day.

When composing combat units, pay attention to a special rule: some positions in groups are "connected", that is, a certain character will be present in two packs at once.

Keep this in mind and try to put universal heroes in these places that can perform equally well in any builds. Or select the units themselves for a permanent character so that the allies in both teams suit him.

Also, for each squad, you can choose 2 skills, which strengthen the team by increasing damage or applying other useful effects.

The number of event points earned for a challenge depends on the time spent on ing it and the current score multiplier. The less time the battle took, the greater the end result will be. And the highest value of the multiplier will give more points, although it will complicate the fight due to the strengthening of opponents.

Depending on the accumulated number of points, players can receive:

• bronze medal for 2 000 glasses;
• silver medal for 4 000 glasses;
• gold medal for 8 000 points.

The emblem earned from the challenge also determines the size Rewards, issued in the event menu.

In total, 5 tests will be available for ing, opening every new day. Battles differ in special conditions in the form of an anomaly of the arteries of the earth, opponents and a set of test characters.

My name is Purple (Day 1)

The anomaly of the arteries of the earth for the first day of testing will be a mark issued to one random enemy on the battlefield and reducing its resistance to any type of damage by 30%.

After defeating a marked enemy, the active character's attacks trigger up to 4 shockwaves that deal additional damage. The mark will move to a new creature 10 seconds after the previous owner was defeated.

In the three stages of this test, you will have to fight with the following opponents:

• 1 round: arrangements;
• 2 round: elemental molds and fungi;
• 3 round: Hydro mimics and slimes, Hydro mages of the abyss.

As test characters to choose from: Yao Yao.

To successfully complete all the fights, we recommend that you make up the squads as follows:

• For the first test take Nahidu and al-Haytham for inflicting powerful damage on strong opponents in the form of elite mitachurls and ancient automatons. As a for conducting reactions, take the team Hydro character and anyone healer hero to increase survival. Place Archon and Hydro sub-dp in linked positions to use them on the second team as well.
• To the already existing Dendro and Hydro heroes who will be transferred to the second squad, pick up Pyro and/or Electro DD to carry out powerful reactions with Nahida marks. Pay special attention to AoE skills that deal area damage.
• The battle in the third stage will be the most difficult, so we strongly recommend taking healer and shield hero. As a healer and one of the main Dendro damageers, you can put Yao Yao. The spearwoman will not only keep the team's health at a consistently high level, but also inflict considerable damage on enemies with the Hydro status. The shield will reflect powerful damage inflicted by mimics, as well as save from attacks by the mages of the Abyss. When choosing DD in a team, pay attention to Electro, Crio and Pyro characters, capable of interacting with Hydro's status.

The tab "Skill Settings" There are 7 different power-ups for all teams to choose from. For the greatest benefit, we advise you to distribute them as follows:

• jagged leaves и Plexus of roots for the first squad from Dendro damage dealers;
• Lush greenery и gentle impact for the second team playing through reactions;
• Thunder awakening и sharp eye for the third pack that needs extra attack and crits.

Gathering a team on our recommendation and playing on score multiplier x2, for ing the test you can get from 9 to 11 thousand game points. This number will allow you to collect all the rewards in the event menu at once.

Museum of Innocence (Day 2)

During the battles of the second day of testing, every 9 seconds, phenomena of the arteries of the earth will randomly appear on the battlefield. At this stage, these appear to be areas of decline that deal physical damage to all enemies, located inside the circle, and reduce their defense by 60% for 10 seconds.

In each of the three stages, the Travelers will have to fight several groups of enemies:

• 1 round: elemental Molds and Moroviki;
• 2 round: Hounds and Break Puppies;
• 3 round: elemental ghosts.

The following will be available for selection as test heroes: Yanfei.

In order to guarantee ing the test for 8 points or more, we recommend that you adhere to the following rules when assembling units:

• Get Venti to the first linked position, since his ultimate ability is extremely useful for all three stages. Next, assemble the first team for a comfortable game from any elemental reaction. However, we recommend that you opt for any convenient Hydro-applicator, for example, a test one. Kokomi, unless otherwise available. Place the priestess in the second linked position to provide two units at once with a base for reactions. Give the rest of the seats to anyone elemental DD. The battle strategy in this case will be as follows: at the beginning of the battle, Venti releases the ultimate ability to gather opponents into a heap, Kokomi puts E-shka under a whirlwind, imposing on all caught enemies permanent hydro status, and the already mentioned DDs carry out various reactions.
• Having in the second detachment Venti and Kokomi repeat the action with a choice of any strong elemental damage. To fight rather powerful enemies in the form of the Wolves of the Rupture, you will definitely need skills aimed at damage in an area. It is the Hydro healer that will save the team from receiving considerable damage from the Bleeding debuff, while the rest of the characters will be able to carry out attacks without fear.
• The third team led by Venti, in the absence of other related positions, is collected in any convenient format. For example, you can make a squad for the game from the reaction Par. Take Dion to protect the squad and add any Hydro sub-dd. Good for last place Pyro damage, which deals damage while active.

For additional command , select skills as follows:

• seething flame, if the team has Pyro DD, or light branch for extra damage and sharp eye to reinforce the first squad.
• The scent of the winds и Sweet fragrance for powerful of Venti and selected main damage dealers of the second team.
• frosty night poem if Dione or another Cryo character was taken into the pack, and pricks of the wind or light branch to increase Venti's damage or strengthen the squad as a whole, respectively.

During the battle, pay attention to the anomalies of the arteries of the earth already mentioned above. From time to time on the battlefield will appear round labels, inside which enemies take additional damage. Try to keep the enemies in this area and also calculate the direction of Venti's ult for maximum benefit.

Leave the remaining positions good sub-DD, for example, test Ye Lan or Raiden. We recommend taking both girls and placing them in related positions. Pay attention to the interaction of the elements of the team to ensure that additional damage is dealt through reactions.
• Ye Lan, chosen as the character in the linked position, will perform best in the squad for the second round. Her E-shka will help to quickly deal with opponents that appear on the battlefield in small groups. In a team with a girl, take heroes whose skills are also aimed at AoE damage or their control. Will play well as in the squad Fischl, test Xiangling or any Dendro character.
• Assemble the third squad taking into the characteristics of the enemies: Sucrose or Venti (if any) will also play well in a pack if they were previously selected for a tied position. Their skills of screeding opponents will come in handy at this stage. Skills Raiden will help to quickly deal with the Primordial Constructs waiting at the end of the round, so her presence in the squad is highly desirable. Assemble the remaining squad, taking into the need for the main damage dealer and his good .

Select the following as skills:

• Bundles of light branch и Acute Okoema or Sweet rest и Brilliant cheerfulness for the first or third squad, depending on the assembled team and convenience.

On the fourth day of testing, the anomalies of the arteries of the earth will change to a new type: the presence of a certain "key" enemy (he is not displayed in the game in any way) increases resistance all enemies to any damage by 50%, but at the same time increases characters attack by 20% and every 10 seconds restores 20% HP injured heroes of the squad. When the "key" creature is defeated, a shock wave will be launched, dealing damage to all enemies on the battlefield and removing all buffs from them.

On each of the rounds of the fourth stage, the player will have to fight with a large number of different opponents:

• 1 round: large elemental mages of the abyss;
• 2 round: Fatui;
• 3 round: Moroviki, the mages of the Abyss and Pyro agents of Fatui.

There are four test characters to choose from: Faruzan.

In order to score enough points to get all the rewards of the fourth day, here is a universal strategy for assembling squads and auxiliary skills, following which you can earn at least 8 points guaranteed:

• Actively use the proposed test characters. Assemble units so that each of them contains 2 Anemo characters for resonance and increased elemental damage. Faruzan, Kazuha и Xiao perfectly complement each other, so in packs any pair of these heroes will show themselves in the best way.
• When drawing up first detachment pay attention to the location of related items. The first place can be given to an existing DD, third - sub-DD, whose element will interact with the damageer, and fill in the remaining cells Faruzan и Kazuhoi to provide additional damage and the Dispel reaction.
• In second pack for Faruzanlocated on the second linked position, select DD in the form Xiao. These two heroes already provide a lot of damage against opponents, but for even more numbers, pick up characters whose skills can work. "from the pocket". For example, Fischl and similar ones.
• Last Squad will already be half assembled due to the related positions on which they are located Xiao и Kazuha. We recommend giving the remaining places, for example, to the test layle and anyone hydro character to carry out the Freeze reaction, which allows you to permanently deprive opponents of movement.

To get the most out of your squads, we suggest choosing the following skills for teams:

• pricks of the wind to enhance Kazuha's attacks and light branch to increase the overall attack level of the first group.
• The song of swirling clouds to enhance Xiao's ult and tie enemies through the emerging whirlwinds if there is no Kazuha in the second team, as well as sharp eye to increase critical damage.
• Blades in the wind, for the third burst damage buff after casting the Dispel reaction, and Sweet fragrance, which amplifies the damage from ultimate abilities.

Having assembled units according to the options we proposed and playing on multiplier x2 or x4 can be guaranteed 8 event points or more, which allows you to collect all three rewards and get a gold medal for completing the fourth day of testing.

Spirit of the streets (Day 5)

Day XNUMX artery anomaly unites all enemies on the battlefield into The coalitioncausing one time true damage to all beings after being hit by any attack or skill on a member of the Coalition. The effect arises once every 2 seconds.

• 3 round: elite Anemo, Dendro, Hydro and Cryo Hermits, elite Fatui.

The test characters of the fifth stage were Candace.

In order to ensure that you complete the challenge with a high score, here are our recommendations for gathering squads for each round:

• As heroes, select Bennett и Candace from a row of test cases and give them two connected places in first detachment. The main DD in the group will be Ayato. Bennett will ensure the carrying out of elemental reactions "out of pocket", and Candace will strengthen the normal attacks of the Hydro damageer under the influence of the E-shki. Give the remaining space to an existing strong or comfortable sub-DD.
• The second team will already be half assembled due to Bennett and Candace on the last two slots. Put in first place Eimiyu as DD, her attacks will strengthen Candace, Bennett will serve for Pyro resonance. In the last free cell, we recommend placing any available scutellum, because for Eimiya under the influence of E-shki, it is extremely important not to be interrupted by dodges or taking damage and to fully realize all powerful Pyro attacks.
• A bunch of Eimiya and a shield will fill the third team by half, while the remaining two places can be filled with existing elemental heroes or suitable sub-DD for additional reactions.

To strengthen the selected heroes, we recommend distributing skills in the following way:

• cloud haze to strengthen Ayato in the first group and gentle impact to conduct stronger reactions if the team was assembled with an emphasis on them.
• thorns и Hesitation Peak to increase the speed and attack power of Eimiya in the second group.
• seething flame и sharp eye to increase the Pyro damage from Eimiya's attacks and increase the critical damage of all of the third team.
