How to play Akitsu Yuugei in the Akitsu Kimodameshi event – Genshin Impact
Akitsu Yuugei is a brick-breaking ball game. Your active character controls a bar that acts as a wall that an Elemental ball can bounce against. Switching Elements can help trigger Elemental Reactions, making it easier to break the bricks on the opposite end of the field.
Party setup
The image on the left showcases what the bricks will look like, giving you an idea of what Elemental Reactions you can create to break them. For Playful Leisure, some Elements will be banned, so the character pool you can pick from is limited. There are no limits for Unending Refinement and Shatterdark.
You can only deploy characters you own, but you don’t have to think about skills, as no combat isinvolved. We recommend bringingone character of each allowed Element, except for Anemo or Geo, as they’re not applicable in this mini-game.
Modifiers
Next, you can pick a series of Modifiers, which are buffs that will help you in the mini-game. Again, there are limits to which you can pick in Playful Leisure, but all are available in Unending Refinement and Shatterdark.
We highly recommend deploying theRelative ExpansionModifier when possible, as it will extend the length of the bar whenever you switch characters, making it a little easier to not lose balls.
Gameplay
The gameplay mechanics are fairly simple. At the start of the game, you can release a ball by clicking on theattack button. There can beup to three ballssimultaneously, two of which will appear based on your Modifiers and combos.
Your character will control a bar, whichchanges Elements depending on your active character. For example, switching to an Electro character will make the bar Electro, switching to a Hydro character will make the bar Hydro, and so on.
Your goal is tokeep rebounding the ballby rushing toward its trajectory. If you fail to serve the ball, it will disappear. When the ball touches your Elemental bar, it willtake on the same Element. And when an Elemental ball is served toward Elemental bricks, Reactions can occur, making it easier to break them.
Additionally, Reactions can also occurbetween the bar and ball. For example, if a Hydro ball comes in contact with a Cryo bar (or vice versa), the ball will freeze, allowing you to serve the ball from any position you want manually.
Once you’ve run out of balls, you’re able to use the attack button to serve another. This is called aReserve Ball. You can only use 10 in the Unending Refinement and Shatterdark game modes.

You need tocomplete the Men-Mayhem stageunder Leisurely Pastime to unlock a quest calledDreamlike. It will introduce you to an event Domain close to the Leisurely Pastime signboard, where you can play Shatterdark. Enter the Domain, then interact with the signboard inside to begin.
Shatterbreak is slightly different as your goal is to defeat a Boss Brick, which will consistently attempt to hide behind bricks. The bricks will keep on replenishing until the Boss is defeated, so try to target it with your serves.
