Vibro-Crystal Applications is a recurring event inGenshin Impactthat encourages trying out various characters and teams against infinite waves of enemies. Whether you’re attempting a platinum high score or just a gold medal to get all event rewards, here are some suggestions to help you out.
Each stage has its own trial characters and suggested teams. Note that you don’t need to follow the suggested team archetypes in order to achieve a high score. If you have a powerful, well-invested team already, then it’s probably good enough to get at least a gold medal, even if you don’t make good use of the Ley Line Disorders.
Vibro-Crystal medal thresholds
Scoring works by adding together the points you earn in both halves of each stage. The total points you have at the end of the stage determines which medal you get.
Platinum:10,000Gold:4,000Silver:1,500Bronze:500
To earn all event rewards, youonly need to achieve a gold medal, which unlocks at a score of 4,000 points. There are no in-game rewards for platinum, just bragging rights.
You can set your difficulty at the bottom of the stage selection screen. Higher difficulties will award more points, but enemies will be harder to defeat.
Stage 1: Gaseous Flow Detection
Trial characters:Wanderer, Xiao, Heizou, Faruzan
Ley Line Disorder:After triggering Swirl, increase your entire team’s Anemo attack CRIT Rate by 20% for 6s.
This stage is tailored for Anemo characters with CRIT builds. This usually meansWandererorXiaoas your hypercarry. If you haveVentiorHeizouwith CRIT stats, they make for good teammates too. Either way, ensure to bringFaruzan, since she will buff your Anemo DPS significantly.
As for Resonance buffs, I tend to steer away from the Elemental Mastery buff, since it doesn’t directly benefit my hypercarry.
Stage 2: Fertile Growth Activation Research
Trial characters:Cyno, Nahida, Xingqiu, Yaoyao
Ley Line Disorder:After triggering Quicken, Spread, or Aggravate, regenerate 4 Energy.
Bring a Spread or Aggravate team to take advantage of buffs. I actually recommend staying away from Nahida, since she needs to re-apply her mark on enemies every time a new wave spawns in. Otherwise,Alhaitham, Tighnari, Dendro Traveler, Baizhu, Fischl, Yae Miko,andBeidouare all good options.
Stage 3: Effect of Ecological Fluctuations
Trial characters:Neuvillette, Wriothesley, Lynette, Charlotte
Ley Line Disorder:When a character’s HP changes, their CRIT DMG increases by 40% for 6s.
Neuvilletteis a great character for the first half, and he’s among the trial characters! If you haveFurina, she can enable any team on the half that doesn’t have Neuvillette.WriothesleyandLyneyare also able to take advantage of the Ley Line Disorder.
Stage 4: Probability of Wound Healing
Trial characters:Furina, Baizhu, Barbara, Sayu
Ley Line Disorder:When a character receives healing, their CRIT Rate increases by 20% for 6s.
This condition is fairly easy to activate, as long as you have ahealeron your team. Note that the first half has Pyro slimes, so try to avoid a Pyro DPS in your first team. Invest into the CRIT DMG Resonance buff to complement the CRIT Rate from the Ley Line Disorder.
Stage 5: Enhancing the Photothermal Effect
Trial characters:Arlecchino, Lyney, Chevreuse, Thoma
Ley Line Disorder:Trigger a Pyro reaction to decrease all opponents’ elemental RES by 30% for 6s.
As long as you have a Pyro character on your team, you should be able to trigger the Ley Line Disorder with no issue. You should invest into the CRIT DMG Resonance buff as much as you may.
Stage 6: Resonance Vibration Attribution
Trial characters:Navia, Itto, Noelle, Gorou
Ley Line Disorder:Trigger Crystallize to decrease all opponents’ elemental RES by 30% for 6s.
Any Geo character will allow you to trigger Crystallize as long as you have Pyro, Hydro, Electro, or Cryo as well.Navia,Itto, andNoellemake for great Geo DPS characters. If you choose Itto or Noelle, ensure you pair them withGorou.Grab the CRIT DMG Resonance buff and avoid the Physical DMG shockwaves.
