Arena Location

Head to the Warrior's Spirit Swordfighting Arena through the event Waypoint in Ritou, and enter the room to Prepare for Duel. There are six challenges that unlock throughout the event period, and they must be completed in order.

Strategy

Under the opponent's name, click View Rules to get an overview of their combat style and your Honed Technique. The Honed Technique replaces your Elemental Burst and can help make the duel a lot easier. Both of these change in every duel, so make sure to double-check the Rules before starting.

Difficulty

Each battle is divided into three difficulties: Normal, Hard, Pro. You can only unlock Pro after completing Hard mode. Completing a higher difficulty will unlock all rewards from lower difficulty levels as well. Don't be afraid of the Pro mode, as it can sometimes feel easier than Hard due to the faster-paced nature of the duel.

How to Parry

During the duel, you can only use the Traveler, whose Elemental Skill and Burst will be replaced with event-specific techniques.

  • Elemental Skill: Parry
  • Elemental Burst: Honed Technique

Using Normal Attacks will barely do any damage, so you must parry all the opponent's strikes to make an impactful hit. Parry works similarly to Beidou's Elemental Skill, which requires impeccable timing to execute.

First, you must learn each opponent's moves, which are usually limited to a few attack patterns. Once you understand how they move, wait for the opponent to enter their battle stance. As soon as they strike (usually marked by a blue glow), immediately hold the Elemental Skill button to block, then release to counterattack, completing a parry.
