Hyakkunin Ikki is another domain-type event, where you can fight enemies and attain the highest score for greater rewards. The goal is for you to kill as many sets of enemies as possible, cycling through as many teams and characters within teams as possible to help increase your "Fervor" level.
For end-game players, this is a great avenue for you to test out your damage, especially with the various buffs given. However, Lower-AR players and beginners do not need to fret as there will be several trial characters given for each domain. These are fully built characters that can help carry you through the event. Do note that if you already have the character, you will be using your own build for them.
The trial characters include: Xiao, Ningguang, Yanfei, Tartaglia, Ganyu, Fischl
Rules
You will need to set up 6 teams (each team is comprised of 2 people) to bring into each domain. You will be able to swap from one team to another, but do take note of the sequence of the teams as you can only swap to the team listed directly after your current team. When choosing your teams, you should try to select Garyuu Arts that complement their playstyle and damage. You can read more about that in the next segment. Additionally, you will be able to select your multiplier which determines the difficulty of the challenge. I personally went with x4 multiplier and all my own characters, you can see the set-up that I went for above.
Garyuu Arts
Here are the list of Garyuu Arts available for selection, including character recommendations for each selection. I will try to include more F2P friendly characters as much as possible!
- Accidental Intent: +50% attack speed, increased resistance to interruption, heals 10% HP from normal attacks that can be triggered once every five seconds.
- Good for pairs without a healer and main DPS characters with low DEF/HP.
