THE Impact Genshin Lantern Rite events are in progress. On February 10, 2021, the event officially began and offered access to the Tower Defense-style Theater Mechanicus game. miHoYo shared some insights and took a look at some of the monsters players will encounter.
At the Mechanicus Theater, players will face members of the Hilichurl tribe and a selection of monsters. In Hilichurls terms, miHoYo suggested that AoE damage is an effective way to manage it. They can arrive in groups. The company also suggested attacks that could send them forward or backward. He mentioned the use of Anemo attacks for wind-based crowd control.
Then there are the furious Samachurls and Hilichurl, who are small but fast. For them, it is suggested that players use Tidal Flats, Thunderstrike Mechanici and, because of their size, Anemo Visions to blow them up. Meanwhile, the Mitachurls, a more resistant type of enemy, will require a more focused approach. They are the slowest in the Hilichurl “family”, but carry shields. Using Pyro and physical DMG to eliminate shields helps.
Players will also encounter slimes, which are immune to their own elemental DMG, Abyss Mages, which use elemental shields that are immune to their element. In each case, you need to consider the opposite elements. Diversity helps. Ruin Hunters are mechanical flying creatures that occasionally stop flying to give players the opportunity to attack. Creatures called Ruin Guards and Ruin Graders will also be present. They are slow challenges that are resistant to physical DMG.
The Lantern Rite event and the Mechanicus Theater end on February 28, 2021 and the Xiao Market closes on March 7, 2021. Impact Genshin is available for PlayStation 4, PC and Android and Apple iOS devices. A Nintendo Switch version is in development.
