Genshin Impact 3.8 Event Guide – Spino Blaster
Spino Blaster Basics
Spino Blaster requires the player to use the Crococannon, a weapon that shoots projectiles to pop balls. Using the Crococannon, the player must then shoot specific kinds of balls to earn points. Each balloon type is worth different amounts of points. The more balls the player pops, the higher their combo becomes, and the more points they get for each balloon. The player must, however, be careful, as one of the balloon types will make the player lose points, as well as reset their combo. Here are the various balloon types:
- Ordinormie Ball (Green)
- Worth 20 points
- Tinyvantage Ball (Orange)
- Worth 50 points
- Brouhaha Ball (Purple)
- Decucts 20 points
- Ends current combo
- Dual-Charged Ball (Red)
- Upon getting destroyed, this ball will deal damage to all balls near it
- Overdrive Ball (Blue bag)
- Crococannon enters Power Overflowing Mode for a time upon getting destroyed
- Crococannon has infinite ammo
- Bullets deal AoE damage
- Brouhaha Balls do not deduct points or end combos
- Crococannon enters Power Overflowing Mode for a time upon getting destroyed
- Powderplus Ball (Blue box)
- Increases the Crococannon's ammo capacity
- Gives 20 points if ammo capacity already at max
- Nemesis Ball (Shroomboar)
- Can take four shots before getting destroyed
- Worth 200 points upon destruction
- Each shot on it gives players 20 points
Self-Destruct Protocol
In the third (Empirical Devastation) and fourth (Multi-Engagement Synthesis), the Self-Destruct Protocol is activated. Balls affected by this protocol will, as the name implies, self-destruct after a short amount of time. This will not end the player's combo, but it will also not give the player any points. Players can identify the balls that have this protocol by their red glow.
General Game Plan
The general game plan for each level is to try and shoot the Dual-Charged Balls in each level. These are usually surrounded by other balls, so it is more efficient to just try and shoot them. This will also help the player reserve ammo, as they will only need to shoot once to destroy multiple balls. If you find a group of Dual-Charged Balls, aim for those as well.
It's important to remember, however, that the player's bullets have travel time. As such, it is important to take that into consideration, especially since on most, if not all, stages, the balls will be moving around. The player might find themselves accidentally hitting a Brouhaha Ball if they are not careful. In the same way, it can pay for players to wait a little. In the later stages of the event, the player will notice moving Dual-Charged Balls. The player should wait and observe, as these balls may move to a more advantageous position, allowing the player to pop more balls than if they had shot it immediately.
