Shuyu’s Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl Requirements in Genshin Impact

To participate in this engaging event, you must meet the following criteria:

• Achieve at least Adventure Rank 20.

• While not mandatory, completing Xianyun’s Story Quest "Grus Serena Chapter" will provide deeper context into the event's storyline, as Shuyu, a character featured in the event, appears in this quest.

How To Play Shuyu’s Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl in Genshin Impact

The event's premise is simple yet fun: you control an Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles within a Teapot at Mt. Aocang, facing off against various overworld enemies. This activity reflects the in-game lore where beetle battling is a popular pastime among children.

The controls are straightforward, featuring Forward, Back, and Jump commands. Mastering these is essential, but timing and stamina management are key. Your Onikabuto consumes stamina with every move, and holding a direction or executing a Piercing Strike will deplete it even faster.

Here's a breakdown of the opponents you'll face across the five stages and strategies to defeat them:

• "Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps": A Hilichurl that you can defeat by repeatedly hitting its head. Be mindful of the ground markings indicating its attack zone and dodge accordingly.
• "Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop": A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Aim for its head and the Pyro Slime, especially when it's about to throw it, for an easy victory.
• "Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage": A Pyro Abyss Mage that throws fireballs and launches flame pillars. Interrupt its chant to knock it down, then strike repeatedly.
• "Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who’s Actually Freezing Cold": A Cryo Abyss Mage. Use the same strategy as with the Pyro Abyss Mage to defeat it.
• "Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain": A Stonehide Lawachurl. Be agile, watch for its attacks, and hit it consistently. When a Geo Slime appears, use a Piercing Strike for maximum damage.

Opt for the Focused Fight difficulty (two stars) to maximize your rewards, including an additional 30 and 20 Primogems per stage. After clearing Focused Fight, you can unlock Utmost Might (three stars), which offers Mora and Enhancement Ores instead of Primogems. Remember to use Piercing Strikes strategically to overcome tougher stages.

Each enemy has unique behaviors, so if you're unsure how to tackle them, consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for tips. Additionally, the event features a co-op mode; simply select "Match" before starting a stage to team up with other players.
