Hypostatic Symphony

It’s finally here! Our beloved friends, the hypostases, have returned to grace (or slap) us once more – this time, with a new twist. Here’s our guide to get you started!

Introduction

• You’ll need adventure rank 20 to access this event. (The domain entrance will still spawn, but you will not be able to enter.)
• The domain entrance is teleportable, just like many other domain entrances.
• Not all bosses are currently available; at the time of writing, only the Violet Lightning Concerto and Storm Butterfly Intermezzo are. New events will release sequentially every day.

• Different characters will receive “boosts” (+20% DMG) for different challenges, as shown above.

Variations

• Unlike the normal hypostases, you have the option to “customize” the challenges for greater difficulty. . . but greater rewards.
  • These customizations range anywhere from increased levels (in the form of difficulty levels from easy (lv. 20) to expert (lv. 80)) to greater health pools (opponents’ HP increased by 25%, 50%, 100%.)
  • The difficulty levels grant a score multiplier to your entire score, after all the other variations have been summed.
  • You can mix and match to your pleasure, and the total score will be shown at the bottom.
  • Some modifiers grant buffs to your party (as shown by the final two options) at the cost of point deductions.

Scores and Rewards

• Each event clear, regardless of the number of points attained, will yield 60 primogems.
• For each event, you will be given a score based on your score modifiers. You will be awarded rewards based on the running total of all scores between all events.

Parting Advice

• Although soloable, this event can also be done in Co-op mode. This is highly encouraged, especially if you’re seeking to attain the maximum points. Co-oping with four players will essentially quadruple your damage output which can be extremely helpful.
• The bosses have new, unique attacks, based on the attack of the original hypostases. Mastering when these mechanics occur and how to respond to them (known as a ‘rotation’) is your key to success!
• Before initiating combat, wait for every character’s elemental burst to fully recharge. (it will always happen.)
• Entering the domain fully heals your entire team, including fallen characters. This is an excellent alternative to using the statues of the seen.
• Food and potions ARE allowed. Warriors’ Dish Specialties such as No Tomorrow, Once Upon a Time in Mondstadt, and Adeptus’ Temptation are sure to be very handy, but remember that dishes of the same types cannot be stacked (potions, also, cannot be stacked.)

Challenge I: Violet Lightning Concerto I

Variations

This encounter has the following variations, with the final two DEDUCTING POINTS (don’t forget about the difficulty multiplier:)

Mechanics

The Electro Hypostasis performs the following mechanics (if you’ve done the original electro hypostasis, some may be familiar to you:)

• Seeking Missile: The hypostasis transmutes into a floating diamond and fires three electro-infused homing missiles. Similar to the ruin guard missiles, they will chase you for awhile, and deal massive damage (upwards of 6,000.) May potentially be lethal combined with the variations.
  • Keep a sizable distance away from the hypostases and dodge when the missiles approach you.
  • Block them with geo structures. (Ningguang screens, Zhongli pillars, etc.)
  • Animation cancel by dodging into the orb (may be risky – requires practice.)
    
• Laser Beam: The hypostasis spawns six rotating beams for several rotations. Being hit will stagger and damage your character significantly; inability to recover from being staggered and multiple hits may be lethal. The hypostasis recombines at the end of the mechanic for high damage.
  • Notes: Sprint to the center of the laser beams and attack the hypostasis at the core.
  • Sprint into the beams to dodge them temporarily (standing height will cause you to be damaged, but not sprinting height.)
  • Run out of the center when the hypostasis is about to conclude its mechanic to avoid the collision damage.
    
• Drill: The hypostasis charges towards you in a straight line as a drill.
• Punch or Wall fold: The hypostasis punches you (in a curled fist) or spawns a wall which folds for significant damage.
• Triple Combo: The hypostasis performs three formation attacks in sequence – punch, scissors, hammer.
  • Dodge BEHIND the hypostasis rather than running away from it, as the scissors and hammer will continue in a straight line.
    
• Landmines: The hypostasis spawns a swarm of small electro blocks which radiate from the center. Each block deals small damage, but may be lethal combined.
  • If you have venti, his skyward sonnet (held) can negate this entire mechanic.
  • Blocking with geo structures do work, but only for a short while.
    
• Octagonal Prison: The hypostasis forms an octagonal-shaped prison and rains random laser AoEs. Each deals high damage (6000+).
  • Dash past the first pillar before it spawns completely.
  • Use venti’s sonnet or geo structures to jump out of the prison cage.
    
• DPS Check: The boss will summon multiple “split cores” similar to its original when reduced to minimal health. Destroy them all or the boss will heal itself back up.

Parting Advice

• Geo characters can be handy, but they aren’t everything as their structures can crumble.
• Try turning off the cryo resistance up variation if you’re having a hard time meeting the DPS check.
• Practice animation cancelling to dodge the seeking missiles consistently.
• Venti can negate a lot of the mechanics, so be sure to bring him if you were lucky enough to roll him.
• YOU ONLY NEED 3000 POINTS FOR THE FULL REWARDS AT THE END OF THE EVENT, so don’t be frustrated if you can’t seem to make it with all the variations.
• Healers are helpful but play aggressively, as the event is timegated.
• Save your burst if you notice the boss being reduced to low health to delete all the smaller split core prisms in one go.
