I Tried Genshin's "High Difficulty" Gamemode

[@Tuonto]

the point of these challenges are just mechanics understandings, the real hard part is level 90 lmao

[@mamonth6985]

If I can't complete the challenge in first try then it's a "hard challenge" for me in my book. So Hoyoverse didn't lie with including Hard in their statement.

[@Tuonto]

subjective bro, everyone got different experiences! good luck tho on it

[@wittyzitty6995]

So true, I see Envisaged Echoes available but I'm like I don't want to 90 any of these characters. I did Diluc's one and it was annoying enough (weapon choice, artifact equipping, talents, etc) that I'm like until they make more for different characters I'm good.

[@NotSiuR7]

hello tuonto can u respond pls

[@NotSiuR7]

why is Jean farting lol

[@ahsaym4161]

i don’t think people realize the point of these challenges is to test how much you understand the character and their mechanics

[@clownify2]

mm yes m1 m1 press e and q very complex to understand

[@Aequdsama]

@@clownify2 For someone like you - yes, it is very complex

[@Vetus_Horologium]

HONESTLY. Qiqi's genuinely requires you to understand HOW HER SKILL ROTATES to trigger elemental totems. These challenges arent extremely difficult, but they are exactly what they are supposed to be, something to show off your MASTERY of and DEDICATION to a character. Honestly I'd wager a guess that Jeans is the easiest to complete, but I've only done Jean and Qiqi personally.

[@PVNKSHEEP]

@@Vetus_Horologiumprobably, I’ve done Ningguang, Qiqi, Diluc and Jean but I haven’t done Kirara so idk.. diluc and qiqi were harder for a few different reasons but they definetely were do-able once you understand. Then again, Diluc and Qiqi for me weren’t that hard because I did main them for some time. I agree here that it is great practice and does somewhat challenge you, Jean is the easiest as far as I can tell (?)

[@thisusernameisamazing4184]

@@Vetus_Horologium I mean I think its cause Jean has the least mechanics out of all of those characters, like her ult heals and her e knocks back cause shes anemo, there's not really any special mechanics for her like how ningguag has her wall(doesnt help than anemo is the least fun reaction since it just swirls)

as someone who choose Kirara and Diluc, I'm glad to see I got over the "hard ones" already. But, not many people build those characters, so it might be hard, or even F2P when you don't have as many resources for artefacts and levelling.

[@Jade.051]

I think they looked at used rates and chose the ones on the lowest tier😭 I really hope they add someone I use in the next reset because I have capped keys lol

this is true, however i hope u understand most of my comments are satire. my dream of end game is something THAT IS "highly difficult" and "PERMANENT" so having hopes as a veteran players what i had, however this is just a challenge pressuring the player to focus on the mechanics of the character which is also good too

You must be new here, Jake's first language is satire and sarcasm, he knows this ain't endgame lmao

The Diluc one was really hard for me. I was always two hits too late. So my friend (Diluc main) did it for me. She made a mistake and still had 19 seconds left. I was so shooked xD Tuonto should show it with that much time left if he calls it so easy xD

[@phoenixlau]

The trick with the Jean trial is you need high ER build. So any Fav/Sac/etc. sword and ER sands and it will be a piece of cake. My normal Jean build is R5 Amenoma + low ER, which is more than enough to burst every rotation. Unfortunately, "rotation" is not a thing in the trial, so that didn't work at all.

People have to realize the average genshin player has a toddler level of understanding of the actual mechanics of the game.

[@kaylynsfy]

jake i love you please don’t say goodbye to this world

[@bubbag02]

Diluc's was arguably the most difficult because it relied the least on character-specific skill mechanics. It was more a matter of figuring out how to group enemies together and best way to take down their shields to reduce wasted time. While Diluc's skills helped a bit in that regard, they don't have nearly as big an impact as other characters.

[@Brenilla]

As a Qiqi main, it was so hard. XD the totem timing was rough but I got it after two trys, then I had to rebuild my qiqi off a phys dps build so I could defeat that ruin guard. I mean only took me like a handful of attempts but with everything definitely hard. People who say it’s too easy because game knowledge are forgetting that are knowledge is the challenge. Like the whole “correct build” thing is the point that is the challenge knowing what to do.
