More details are starting to emerge about events in Genshin Impact 1.5. We hope you are ready to face waves of foes in the Meaty Arena of Contending Tides.

Genshin Impact Contending Tides Event

Contending Tides Event starts on April 2, 2021, at 10 am Server Time. To access this challenge while learning an array of various rewards, you need to get to Dadaupa Gorge. The event ends on April 12, 2021, at 03.45 am Server Time.

Of course, like any event in the game, you must be at a certain Adventure Rank to be able to take part, so you must be at Adventure Rank 20 or above to join the fray. If you are close to that rank and want to earn some rewards in thrilling battles, we advise you to do as many quests and bosses as possible to boost yourself as swiftly as possible.

The rewards you can get are as follows:

  • Primogems Mora Talent Level-Up Materials Character EXP Materials

Contending Tides has a multitude of difficulty levels, and every day one new challenge will unlock with three new difficulties to attempt. Players can select any of these difficulties. If you complete a higher difficulty, this will automatically clear any challenge on the lower difficulties.

There is risk/reward involved, as the higher the challenge, the more rewards you will earn! For example:

  • Normal Difficulty 60 Primogems Hard Difficulty x3 Guide to Resistance 30000 Mora Extreme Difficulty x3 Hero’s Wit 30000 Mora

This event is not so simple as killing things one after the other. Each challenge has a trio of criteria that must be completed. If you do not succeed in all three, the challenge will fail.

  • 60 Primogems

  • x3 Guide to Resistance 30000 Mora

  • x3 Hero’s Wit 30000 Mora

Moreover, each challenge will also buff/enhance certain abilities or boost certain effects. Make sure to pay close attention to these, so you know what you are up against and how to use them to your advantage.

Sadly, using the new World Level change mechanic will not alter the difficulty of these event challenges.
