Genshin Impact Theater Mechanicus: Autumnal Resplendence (Show of Force) guide — Hues of the Violet Garden Event

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 Co-op mode is no longer allowed and Mystic Arts have been replaced by Fortune Sticks, which can't be enhanced.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).

How to complete Autumn Resplendence (Show of Force)

Fortune Sticks

You can use any Fortune Stick that you like, but here are some recommended options to take advantage of Tandem Mines and Physical Damage from Crack Shots:

• Fortune Stick: Arbalest
• Fortune Stick: Bullseye
• Fortune Stick: Fusillade
• Fortune Stick: Continuous Carnage
• Fortune Stick: Faint Thunder
• Fortune Stick: Culling

Mechanici Placement

The Mechanici placement in this stage is very simple. Following the exact placements and recommended Fortune Sticks above will merit you a perfect score of 3,000.

You need to place two Tandem Mines on the outer edges of the front, left, and right sides of the map. Then, place three Crack Shots on the inner edge of the back. It's important to ignore all the positions left blank in the image above, as the enemies will destroy anything you place on them.

However, if you want to feel safer once the big Ruin Grader comes later in the wave, you can add any other towers in the blank spaces—as long as you maintain the positions of the Tandem Mines and Crack Shots as demonstrated above.
