Genshin Impact Version 4.3 brings with it the titular Roses and Muskets major event. Other than a story, the event also brings with it four smaller events. One of these events is the Trick Shots, Tricky Lights combat event. If you're having a hard time with this event, especially since it's ending soon, then don't worry. Here is our guide for Stage 2 of the Trick Shots, Tricky Lights event in Genshin Impact.

Trick Shots, Tricky Lights Stage 2 Event Guide

It's important that the event will end in a few days. Players who still haven't finished the event stages will have to pick up the pace to get the rewards. Once the event ends, any rewards that were not unlocked will no longer be claimable.

For starters, let's talk about the basics of the event. As with most combat events, players must defeat as many enemies as possible before the time limit ends. There are four difficulty levels, with the more difficult ones giving the player higher score multipliers. Players only need to get at least 2,000 points to get the Primogem rewards, with 4,000 points giving the maximum amount of rewards. The levels of the enemies the player will face will depend on the player's Adventurer Level, as well as the difficulty they select.

Additionally, players have access to “Special Lighting”, which are temporary effects that power up the player. These effects charge up in between each wave, so players should make sure to take advantage of the “Special Lighting” whenever it becomes available. Each stage has a different “Special Lighting” effect, so players should build teams to take advantage of said effects. Additionally, players also have access to two Trial Characters, which they can use in their team for the event.

Stage 2 Team Composition

Based on the Special Lighting effect, as well as the trial characters, players are likely encouraged to run a team that focuses on using Normal Attacks. This opens up a lot of team compositions. However, the enemies the player will face in this stage encourage the players to run teams that can cause Elemental Reactions. A possible team composition could look like this:

  • Yoimiya (Trial) Main DPS
  • Yun Jin (Trial) Support
  • Xingqiu Sub-DPS
  • Bennett Support

This is a Free-to-Play friendly team and consists of four-star characters that the player likely already has, as well as the trial characters. The gameplay for this team involves using Xingqiu's Burst in conjunction with Yoimiya's Pyro-infused Normal Attacks to continuously cause Vaporize Reactions. During the downtime, the player should charge up the Elemental Bursts of each character, before dealing a full rotation again. Remember to use Yun Jin, Xingqiu, and Bennett's Bursts before Yoimiya's Elemental Skill.

Alternatively, some other more expensive team compositions could look like this:

  • Vaporize Team
    • Yoimiya Main DPS
    • Yelan Sub-DPS
    • Furina Support/Sub-DPS
    • Bennett Support
  • Physical DPS
    • Eula Main DPS
    • Rosaria Sub-DPS
    • Bennett Support
    • Raiden Shogun Sub-DPS
  • Perma-Freeze Team
    • Ayaka Main DPS
    • Shenhe Support
    • Yelan Sub-DPS
    • Furina Support

As you can see, there are various team compositions that the player can use in this Stage that can take advantage of the Special Lighting. Yoimiya is still a strong character for this stage, but other Normal Attack-focused characters can take her place. It will all depend on what characters the player has.

Whatever team you may use, remember to time your huge bursts of damage whenever you use your Special Lighting, as it will increase your overall damage output.
