How to Unlock

Unlock this game mode by obtaining the Launch Tube from Keqing through The Blazing Stars Ring In Fortune Event Quest. This quest is automatically accessible to all players who have completed the prerequisites.

How to Play

Place the Launch Tube in the open world through the Gadget section of the Inventory. Interact with it and select Smelt Firework to begin the creation process. Doing a Single Smelt will prompt the smelting gauge the move. Your goal is to hit the orange section for a perfect score.

Smelting Techniques can be configured through the button on the right side of the screen. These will help you control how much the gauge fills each time you do a Single Smelt.

Click on the other icons on the smelting wheel to change parameters. You don’t need to smelt all Parameters, but doing so will greatly increase your score.

You need to smelt fireworks twice before they can be placed in the Launch Tube. The first is through the first icon on the top of the smelting screen, which is the initial firework creation. The second is through the second icon on top of the smelting screen, which will allow you to modify cosmetic parameters, such as color.

Once that’s done, click the Complete Smelting button and interact with the Launch Tube once again to configure the fireworks show and launch. Meanwhile, smelting rewards can be obtained through the event menu. You need 2,100 points per firework type to get all the event currencies from this game mode.
