Genshin Impact has a brand new event in the form of Springtime Charms. This event adds a bunch of new content in the Liyue River area. One of these includes a new mode that you can participate in called Drills by Lamplight Event.
This event can be a bit confusing and difficult, especially if you are trying to get all the rewards. Not to worry, we have you covered. In this guide, we’ll show you everything you need to know about this event. Without further delay, let’s dive in!
Drills By Lamplight Event
The Drills By Lamplight event is a combat sub-event that consists of different levels where you fight against waves of enemies. You get rewards based on the number of points you score. But there is a lot that goes into scoring points.
So, we’ll be going over everything which includes, how to play, how it works and the recommended strategy.
How To Start
To start the Drills By Lamplight event, start by selecting the icon for it in the Lamplit Entertainment menu. Doing so will give you the marker for an NPC called Minglan.
You will be able to find this NPC near the Northern fast travel waypoint in Liyue. Talk to Minglan and tell him that you’d like to give the drills a try in the dialogue options. Doing so will begin the sub-event.
How It Works
Drills By Lamplight is a combat mode where you fight waves of enemies within a limited time. Your goal is to score as many points as possible within this time. There are two stages so far in Drills By Lamplight, with there being three tiers of rewards in each stage.
To increase your points scored, you can select Secret Stratagems. Each of these gems triggers a combat effect that you can use to get buffs or increase your points. As you progress through the stages, you’ll unlock more Secret Stratagems.
There are four types of Secret Stratagems that you can select:
- Stratagems of Engagement
- Permanently increase the number of points scores in a single challenge when enemies are defeated
- Stratagems of Assault
- Permanently increase the additional multiplier when party members score points in a single challenge
- Stratagems of Variation
- When triggered, the points scored by your party will be multiplier for a limited time
- Triggering them again when active will refresh their duration
- Stratagems of Deployment
- Provide the party with various buffs.
After a wave of enemies is defeated, the basic score from defeating them and all the different multipliers will multiply one another to give the final score. When the drill ends, you will gain the current wave’s final score.
Once you’ve selected the Stratagems, you will be asked to choose your party members. You can go with whatever characters you want and start the challenge.
As part of the challenge, you will fight waves of enemies while the challenge lasts.
Recommended Strategy
To get the most points possible, you’ll want to use the Stratagems effects as much as possible so that you can trigger the multiplier. Since a lot of these effects are based on Elemental skills, we recommend choosing elemental characters.
Natlan characters can work really well here if there’s one you like playing with – although not strictly necessary.
During the fight, try to proc the Stratagems as soon as possible against enemies so that you can reap the maximum number of points. Be sure to also use the additional Secret Stratagems you unlock as some of these might suit your play style!
That’s everything you need to know for the Drills by Lamplight Event in Genshin Impact. Hopefully, you’ll be able to complete all tiers of rewards in the stages. Just keep at it and do not give up – so you can get all the rewards which include Primogems!
For the event, there are also Fortune Coins you can for further rewards in the Lamplit Entertainment menu. If you’re struggling to get them all, our all fortune coin locations guide can help you out!
