The Energy Amplifier Event has launched on 24 December and involves several mechanics including a domain similar to the Legend of Vagabond Sword Event. This guide will explain the mechanics for each segment (Places of Interest, Twisted Realm Domain, Energy Amplifier) and list the specific difficulties you should tick to select to collect all the rewards.
Places of Interest
Each act has 3 places of Interest, with each place of interest having 3 different specific locations. The rewards scale as you continue to complete each location and each location is typically harder than the last. When completing these places of interest, ensure that you destroy the stone that buffs enemies. Otherwise, you will do significantly lesser damage and the enemies will deal more damage to you. In some of the locations, there could be more than one stone to destroy, so if your attacks are doing less damage and you are taking more damage from enemies, look for the last stone! The stone is easily broken with a Claymore or Geo character.
Twisted Realm Domain and Recommended Buffs
Since this event is similar to the Legend of the Vagabond Sword event, it might be easier to complete this in Co-Op mode. I completed this with 6125 in Co-Op, but the required difficulty to collect all rewards is 4000. Unlike the Legend of the Vagabond Sword event, this does not have specific characters with buffs for each domain. Defeating the enemies in each domain is rather simple, the true difficulty lies in the buffs chosen when selecting difficulty.
The buffs you select for difficulty should be based on which characters you would like to bring. When I completed this domain in Co-op, we brought Mona, Bennett, Qiqi and Raiden. I personally feel that it is easier to set a shorter time limit and increase the opponents' HP by a smaller amount, for example, 180seconds limit and +25% HP. Using shield characters does not seem to help very much in this event as the specters and Abyss Mages do loads of damage. It's better to bring a healing bot or 2 healers to prevent your other characters from dying.
Sea of Wandering Souls:
- Raiden Shogun
- Xiangling/Kazuha
- Bennett
- Xingqiu
With the short time, you should try to unleash as many Ultimates as possible. Hence, Raiden is a great DPS choice, along with a character that can consistently proc elemental damage such as Xingqiu, Xiangling, Kazuha, Sucrose. Kazuha works well to cluster enemies together and Bennett is a stellar healer that can also greatly buff your damage.
Energy Amplifier
The energy amplifier works using Fractured Fruit Cores and Splinter, where you can select only 1 Core and a few Splinters that make up the maximum Motive Force.
Since your amplifier can be arranged for both single-player and co-op mode, ensure you have set up your amplifier correctly before attempting the domain. You should pick the fractured fruits that benefit your characters elements and your playstyle. Ensure that you read each fragment carefully before placing them in the amplifier -- some of the splinters have benefits for shield strength, which would be useless if you do not have a shield character on your team. Additionally, do clarify with your co-op teammate which characters they will be bringing before selecting your co-op configuration!
