Purgation Counterstrike in Genshin Impact: how to complete all the trials

26 nov 2023 at 10:27

Purgation Counterstrike is one of the mini-games in the event Thelxie’s Fantastic Adventures, which unlocks on the third day of the event after completing the story quest Prince's Country.

How to Start Purgation Counterstrike

Access to the quest chain will open after completing the Prince's Country quest. The quest will begin on the third day of the event. During the quest, you will go through a similar level but with weaker enemies. You will be given Freminet (Cryo Claymore) as a trial character.

You can start each level by approaching the gate of the dungeon you entered during the specified quest. 

Purgation Counterstrike: Completing All Levels

The essence of the levels is simple: defeat as many enemies as possible within the allotted time. The maximum number of points you can score to get all rewards is 6,000. In battle, you will be assisted by the robot-penguin Thelxie, using its ability on the T key. Thelxie's ability will be different on each level.

Swirling Vortex's Paean

In the first level, you will be given two trial characters - Dendro Catalyst Nahida and Hydro Catalyst Nilou, both at level 80. The choice of characters suggests that using the Bloom reaction is the most convenient strategy on this level, and Nilou with her watermelon projectiles is excellent for this. 

You can choose the squad arbitrarily, including replacing the trial characters with your own. For example, if you have a level 90 Nahida, there's no need to use the game-provided level 80 Nahida.

Main enemies include Fatui, Treasure Hoarders, and Eremites. Try to kill enemies with the least HP first. This way, you'll accumulate points faster. In this case, it's the Treasure Hoarders.

Thelxie has the following ability: every 5 seconds, the penguin releases a vortex, dealing Hydro damage in an area, healing allies in the hit zone for 25% of max HP, and increasing elemental mastery by 300 for 15 seconds.

There are no specific character recommendations - all heroes will be good here, as there are no elemental creatures among the enemies limiting your tactics. The only recommendation is to bring a healer or shielder to avoid powerful attacks from the Fatui and Eremites. 

Poem of Thunder Interwined

Trial characters: Electro polearm user Raiden Shogun and Dendro one-handed sword user Alhaitham. On this level, Thelxie gains the following ability: deals Electro damage in an area, reduces the cooldown of the character's burst by 40%, and, after activating the character's ultimate (Q), provides attack and energy restoration buffs.

Main enemies: variations of Automatons. No special squads are needed, but thanks to Thelxie's buff, it's recommended to focus on Electro characters. 

To accumulate points faster, try to kill the Ruin Scouts - the smallest Automatons - first. 

 Walkthrough for levels III-V will be added with the release of the update.

For completing all 5 levels, you will receive the following rewards:

  • 300 Primogems;
  • 300,000 Mora;
  • 40 Mystic Enhancement Ores;
  • 40 Hero's Wits;
  • 12 Sanctifying Essences;
  • 25 Thelxie's Badges;
  • Guide to Equity/Justice, Philosophies of Order – for talent upgrades.
