announcement

"Duel! The Summoner's Summit!" is an event focused on the Genius Invokations TCG, during the King of Invokations Grand Prix. In addition to the 4-part story, there are also tons of side activities to participate in, and completing enough of them can net you the event-exclusive arc, Ibis Piercer.

Initial Duel! The Summoner's Summit!

To participate in the last event, you will need to fulfill some conditions:

• Be Adventure Rank 32 or higher
• Complete a Archon Quest “Ritou Escape Plan”
• Complete a World Quest “Battlefield of Cats, Dice, and Cards”

It is also recommended that you complete these quests, but this is not mandatory, and you can use the Quick Start on the event page if you just want to get started:

• Complete Archon Quest “Akasha Pulses, the Kalpa Flame Rises”
• Complete the story mission “Astrolabos Chapter: Act I”
• Complete the story mission "Imperatix Umbrosa Chapter: Act II"

Round 1: Get started! A Suspicious Genesis

Starting the event will add the quest “Start! A Suspect Genesis" to your quest log.

Mark it as your active quest and follow the quest marker to the Monstadt bridge, where its arrival will trigger a short cutscene. Now, follow the quest marker to The Cat's Tail, where you'll find Diona and a new character, then to the fountain square, where Margaret can tell you all about the Summon King's Grand Prize. You'll also meet Charlotte, who recruits you to track down a card thief.

When the conversation ends, follow Charlotte to her destination to meet with a columnist. After a long conversation, follow the quest marker to the competition location near the Knights of Favonius barracks. Getting close enough will automatically trigger another cutscene. When you're done, talk to Charlotte nearby for one more conversation. Afterwards, follow the suspicious person with Charlotte, being careful not to get caught. As soon as he passes through the city gate, you can run to the next marker for a scene.

Defend the man from the group of treasure hoarders and follow the quest marker into town after the ensuing conversation. Once you're done, you've completed the first act of the event story, come back soon for the second act, but in the meantime you can complete the new side activities that have been unlocked!

A Walk Through Wonders

announcement

Accepting this quest will mark Onnea on your map, so talk to her at her booth to get started. This activity is all about tourism, and you will have to complete all the goals to receive your rewards. After speaking with Onnea, you'll complete the introductory quest and unlock the first of four challenges.

Scenic Tour: Dawn Winery

The first ride is located at Dawn Winery, so run or teleport to get started. Activating the challenge will spawn several Anemo Rings to run through, so fly up and follow the path. When they appear, make sure you collect all the golden orbs to activate more Anemo Rings or Wind Streams. You have 2 minutes to complete this challenge and it ends west of the Winery at the nearby lake.

Don't forget to activate the stamp to earn your rewards and come back soon for the next ride! In the meantime, you can complete the other event activities.

Zero Hour Summoning

This quest requires you to meet with Frida, who can also be found at the competition location. She is hosting a special tournament where players build a deck with 3 incomplete parts, creating special interactions or opportunities. It's worth noting that even if you don't win, you can still earn rewards just for playing, even when the challenge requires you to play on the highest difficulty setting.

cheerful torch bearer

This Monstadt duelist is the first of four and they can be challenged by speaking to Frida.

This challenge features the special rule that each character starts with 2 energy charges, and all 8 of their dice will automatically be Omni Element Dice. You are free to choose your characters, but the game recommends some that can be especially useful in this challenge.

Your opponent will be using Amber, Klee and Barbara. To earn all rewards, you need to defeat your opponent on any difficulty and play against them on “Serious Showdown” difficulty. If you beat them on the "Serious Showdown" difficulty, you'll earn all 3 tiers of rewards at once. Your next opponent will be unlocked soon, but in the meantime you can complete the other event activities.

Evermotion Mechanical Paint: Invoker

For this activity, you will need to speak with Felix Yogue at the event location in Monstadt; it will be next to two covered devices. This activity consists of finding the proper position for gears on a board, and you can try them out after talking to Felix Yogue.

Evermotion Mechanical Painting: Monstadt I

The first challenge is made up of 4 panels known as surfaces, two of which can be swapped with each other, and 4 columns of gears, in which you can place 1 of 5 gears. Your goal is to make the green gears spin by adding pieces or moving panels. While you can probably solve this by trial and error, we also have the solution, which we can share following the screenshot below.

First, you'll need to swap the first and second surfaces using the button on the right. After pressing the button, you will need to choose the second surface you want to switch with, which in this case there is only one option. Finally, the Surface I will need to be in the top right corner and the Surface II in the top left corner. Now for the gear columns select column 4 and enter Big Gear. Gear column 3 will not be used, but columns 1 and 2 need a medium gear. Once you insert the final gear, the challenge will be complete! Unlike the other activities, the second challenge is available immediately after completing the first one.

Evermotion Mechanical Painting: Monstadt II

The second challenge has fewer pieces to worry about, only 3 columns of gears instead of 4 and only 4 gears to choose from instead of 5, but the surfaces can be swapped diagonally instead of side by side. This can make it trickier to figure out where each gear must go to make the whole painting move, but once again we have the solution following the figure below.

Again, you'll need to swap the surfaces from their default position, so Surface I will be in the bottom right position and Surface II will be in the top left corner. This time, you'll use all available gear columns: columns 3 and 2 will require large gears, and column 1 will need a medium gear. Once again, fitting the final gear ends this challenge, earning all associated rewards. The third challenge for this activity is not available yet, so check back soon!

data heart

For this activity it is necessary to speak with Fein at the competition site. He will explain that his activity combines the Genius Invokation TCG data with combat. Your characters collect data as they fight and you can release it to deal AoE damage to your opponents and receive random buffs. If you have a battle-ready team, you can increase the difficulty to get a higher score multiplier.

Data Stratagem: I

This battle pits you against all types of Hilichurls and the occasional Large Hydro Slime. This round's buffs increase your party's Spread and Aggravate damage, your Attack or Critical Damage for 20 seconds. These buffs are randomly selected when you spend your dice, and using more dice of the same element increases the likelihood of receiving more buffs.

announcement

The most important advice if you are having problems is to bring multiple characters of the same element so you have more chances to get more buffs and a stronger shockwave attack, however even with a completely mismatched team we managed to score 3000 points on the easiest difficulty. Fortunately, it's not necessary to earn every Summon Coupon in the event to get the best rewards. Come back soon for the next challenge or complete the other activities if you haven't already.

Duel! O Summoner's Summit! Rewards

In addition to the four-act story, there are also tons of side activities where you can earn more summon coupons.
