In addition to this content we receive the usual four events during 4.6. Here’s everything we know about every limited-time event in Genshin Impact 4.6:
Iridescent Arataki Rockin’ For Life Tour De Force of Awesomeness
My keyboard may not like the name of the new Itto events, but fans of rhythm minigames will be happy to know that Itto will return with a new music festival held in Inazuma, bringing with him Dvorak from Lantern Rite from 2023. Let’s just hope Hu Tao stays in Liyue this time so that she spares us another blow.
Itto’s Rockin’ For Life event has three stages. In the first we play the usual rhythm game to recreate the songs from the game, in the second we have to locate the materials to beautify the concert hall, and in the last we have to find fans to invite and participate in a mini-game to restore missing notes from their songs.
In addition to the usual Primogems and higher level material rewards, we get a free Gorou character for having met enough challenges, as well as the Night Wind Horna new instrument.
Windtrace: researchers and strategy
Windtrace: Seekers and Strategy is the latest iteration of Genshin’s long-running hide-and-seek event. Sorry, solo players, you’ll have to endure another exclusive multiplayer event if you want these Primogems.
If you’re not familiar with Windtrace, it’s essentially a game of hide and seek with two teams: the Rebels and the Hunters. The rebels turn into objects in an attempt to hide from a Hunter, who can use his own abilities to determine where people are hiding. However, some changes have been made to Windtrace.
This time, when the rebels are first captured, they are sent to the surveillance zone, from which they can exit by waiting for a while, or a teammate can try to free them early. However, if you are sent to this surveillance zone twice, you will be permanently captured and can only observe the game.
Another new addition in signaling devices that rebels must repair in order to transform into objects and hide. You can do this solo or repair with a teammate. If four devices are repaired, the Rebels automatically win the match.
Search for Specially Shaped Saurians
In Specially Shaped Saurian Search, a leader who recently returned from Natlan needs your help to find and capture a number of enemies. Although it looks like a collection task, it is actually a combat event in which you must modify your “Strategy” upgrades to defeat various enemies.
Vibro-crystal applications
Vibro-Crystal Applications is a returning battle event set in The Chasm. This time, researchers from Fontaine have arrived at the Chasm and want to test the harmonic resonance between the crystals. Well, they want you to test them.
For this battle event you have two teams, with the option to select trial characters, and for each team you need to connect two different types of crystals to get battle buffs. One type defines the trigger conditions and the other defines the effect once the trigger condition is met.
I hope you have fun with version 4.6!
