Genshin Impact 3.8 Event Guide – Bing-Bang Finchball
Bing-Bang Finchball Basics
During this event, the player must launch Finchballs toward the playing field. The goal is to have the Finchballs land inside one of the three colored areas inside of the playing field. Each of these colored zones gives the player a different score if a Finchball ends up inside the area. For every Finchball inside of the red zone, the player gets four points. If the Finchball lands inside the yellow zone, but outside the red zone, the player gets two points. If the player manages to get their Finchball on the blue Zone, but outside both the yellow and red zone, the player gets one point. Finchballs on the area borders are considered “inside” the area.
The player can move the Finchball they will launch left or right at the bottom of the play area. The direction where the Finchball will launch moves back and forth like a metronome, and as such the player must make sure to time their shots. Additionally, the player can also decide how hard their Finchball will shoot.
There are three types of Finchball that the player can shoot, decided ahead of time by the game:
- Silly-Billy Finchball
- Normal Finchball, no special attributes
- Sticky Finchball
- Sticks to the first Finchball it hits and carries it along
- The sticky effect ends once it stops moving
- Pretty Finchball
- Pulls nearby Finchballs closer to it like Sucrose's Skill/Burst
It's important to note that Finchballs can still move when hit, even after you have shot them. As such, extra care must be taken to make sure you don't accidentally lower your score.
