Dive into the limited-time *Genshin Impact* Version 5.3 event: Shuyu’s Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl! This unique challenge pits you against a series of beetle battles. This guide will walk you through all five battles, ensuring a smooth victory.

Shuyu’s Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl Requirements

How to Play Shuyu’s Baffling Beetle Battle Bowl

This event is simple: you control an Onikabuto beetle in simulated battles within your Serenitea Pot at Mt. Aocang, facing off against familiar Genshin Impact foes. The controls are intuitive—Forward, Back, and Jump—but mastering timing and stamina management is key. Your beetle consumes stamina with every movement, more so when sprinting or using the powerful Piercing Strike attack.

Here's a breakdown of each battle:

• Stage 1: Staff Master Who Only Uses Basic Horizontal Sweeps: A straightforward Hilichurl. Focus on headshots, watching for ground indicators to dodge attacks.
• Stage 2: Staff Master Who Waves a Torch About Non-Stop: A Hilichurl Berserker with a Pyro Slime. Target its head and the Pyro Slime for maximum damage, especially when it prepares to throw the slime.
• Stage 3: Mumbly-Bumbly Red-Hot Mage: A Pyro Abyss Mage. Interrupt its attacks by focusing on it during its casting animation.
• Stage 4: Bouncy, Energetic Mage Who’s Actually Freezing Cold: A Cryo Abyss Mage. Use the same strategy as the Pyro Abyss Mage.
• Stage 5: Big Guy Said to be Solid as a Mini Mountain: A Stonehide Lawachurl. Attack aggressively, dodging its attacks. A Geo Slime will appear; use a Piercing Strike for significant damage.

Gameplay Tips

Choose "Focused Fight" (two-star difficulty) for optimal Primogem rewards (30-20 per stage). Unlock "Utmost Might" (three-star) after completing "Focused Fight" for Mora and Enhancement Ores. Utilize Piercing Strikes strategically for increased damage. Consult the "Dossier on Opponent" for enemy attack patterns if needed. Co-op mode is available; select "Match" to team up with other players.

Rewards

Earn up to 420 Primogems (Utmost Might difficulty), along with Hero's Wit, Sanctifying Unction, Mora, and Mystic Enhancement Ore.
