Midsummer Island Adventure Explained

The event will kickstart with Klee receiving a mysterious letter from a Dodo-King who is threatening to take Dodoco away from her. You will be tasked with helping her out by sailing on a boat called Waverider and explore a secluded archipelago scattered over a remote sea area.

The event will be divided into four parts, each featuring unique gameplay. The first part will require players to sail on the Waverider and destroy enemy towers and camps. The second stage will be a race where players will do both sailing and flying. In the next stage, players will go against a brand new boss called Maguu Kenki. Finally, players will have to clear enemy camps using three kinds of Harpastum Bombs.

Much like previous events, a new event shop will also be introduced where players can use event currencies to redeem rewards. The two new currencies that can be earned from the event are Shiny Flotsam and Mini Harpastum.

Maguu Kenki Exlpained

As mentioned before, the third stage will feature an entirely new opponent. Maguu Kenki has a unique Inazuma-style aesthetic befitting the Genshin army theme. It has its own attack style and is very pesky to deal with. Whenever Maguu Kenki’s health falls below a certain threshold, it will summon phantoms and will start dealing both Anemo and Cryo damage. Additionally, if Maguu Kenki is not engaged in a close-range battle, all ranged attacks against the boss will be blocked.
