Genshin Impact’s Hues of the Violet Garden event opens Inazuma to the rest of Teyvat with the Magnificent Irodori Festival. It runs from April 7, 2022, to April 25, 2022, and is open to all players Adventure Rank 30 and above who have completed the Ritou Escape Plan segment of the Archon Quest: Chapter II: Act I - The Immovable God and the Eternal Euthymia.

If you have not completed the Inazuma character Story Quests, you must access the event from the Quick Start button on the bottom left of the event menu.

How to Unlock Theater Mechanicus

The Theater Mechanicus mini-game can be unlocked by completing the Event Quest What the Blue Flowers Left Behind. This directly follows The Strange Tale of Suikou’s Tipsy Tincture.

Unlike the previous iterations of Theater Mechanicus, the mechanics for this round are a little different. Co-op mode is no longer allowed, and Mystic Arts have been replaced by Fortune Sticks, which can’t be enhanced. Each stage boasts an easy mode (Show of Force) and a hard mode (Enter the Horde).

Fortune Sticks

You can use any Fortune Stick that you like, but here are some recommended options to take advantage of Electro-Charged Damage:

  • Fortune Stick: Honed FlowFortune Stick: Silver LiningFortune Stick: VengeanceFortune Stick: JoltFortune Stick: Stoic ThunderMystic Stick: Lightning Speed

Mechanici Placement

Reference the image above for the placements of the Mechanici in this stage. After setting all of the Mechanici, you’ll still have enough points for a few more before starting the wave, so feel free to add towers that you like.

However, you can get a perfect score of 3,000 by following the exact placements above—note the recommended Fortune Sticks. You don’t need to add more Mechanici or manually apply Elements for Reactions after the wave starts—just sit back and relax until the stage ends!
