How to play Akitsu Yuugei in the Akitsu Kimodameshi event – ​​Genshin Impact
Akitsu Yuugei is a brick breaking ball game. Your active character controls a bar that acts like a wall that an elemental ball can bounce off of. Switching items can help trigger elemental reactions, making it easier to break bricks at the opposite end of the field.
party setup
The image on the left shows what the bricks will look like, giving you an idea of ​​the elemental reactions you can create to break them. For Playful Leisure, some items will be banned, so the pool of characters you can choose from is limited. There are no limits to Unending Refinement and Shatterdark.
You can only deploy characters you own, but you don’t have to think about skills as there are no combat involved. We recommend bringing one character from each allowed elementexcept for Anemo or Geo, since they are not applicable in this minigame.
modifiers
You can then choose a series of modifiers, which are buffs that will help you through the minigame. Again, there are limits you can choose from in Playful Leisure, but they’re all available in Unending Refinement and Shatterdark.
We strongly recommend implementing the relative expansion Modifier when possible, as it will extend the length of the bar every time you switch characters, making it a bit easier to not lose balls.
how to play
The game mechanics are quite simple. At the beginning of the game, you can drop a ball by clicking on the attack button. there may be up to three balls at the same time, two of which will spawn based on your modifiers and combos.
Your character will control a bar, which change items depending on your active character. For example, changing to an Electro character will make the bar Electro, changing to a Hydro character will make the bar Hydro, and so on.
your goal is keep bouncing the ball running towards his path. If you fail to get the ball out, it will disappear. When the ball touches your Elemental bar, assume the same element. And when an elemental ball is served towards the elemental bricks, reactions can occur, making it easier to break them.
In addition, reactions can also occur between the bar and the ball. For example, if a Hydro ball comes into contact with a Cryo rod (or vice versa), the ball will freeze, allowing you to manually remove the ball from any position you like.
Once you’ve run out of balls, you can use the attack button to draw another one. This is called a reserve ball. You can only use 10 of these in the Unending Refinement and Shatterdark game modes.
