Fearsome Ferocious Firepower Event - Genshin Impact - Version 5.7

The **Fearsome Ferocious Firepower** event in **Genshin Impact Version 5.7** is a limited-time target shooting mini-game set in the Fontaine region, specifically in the Beryl Region south of Elynas. It ran from **July 21, 2025, at 10:00 to July 29, 2025, at 03:59** (server time). Below is a comprehensive guide:

### **Event Overview**
- **Description**: Players control a stationary cannon to defend against waves of enemies (e.g., slimes, hilichurls, Abyss Mages, Mitachurls) in a tower-defense-style challenge. The goal is to prevent enemies from crossing the defensive line by strategically using limited ammunition types to trigger elemental reactions and maximize damage.
- **Location**: Event domain in Fontaine, Beryl Region, south of Elynas, known as the "Cannon Arena."
- **Duration**: July 21, 2025, 10:00 – July 29, 2025, 03:59.
- **Eligibility**:
- Adventure Rank 20 or above.
- Complete Archon Quest Prologue: Act III "Song of the Dragon and Freedom."
- Complete the event quest **"The Cannon Has Ears"** by talking to NPCs Chenee and Frejus at the event location to unlock the event.

### **How to Play**
- **Gameplay Mechanics**:
- Players operate a turret to fire various types of cannonballs at enemies across 12 waves per stage, with a fixed amount of ammunition.
- If enemies cross the defensive line, your **Combat Power** decreases. If Combat Power reaches zero, you lose the challenge.
- A new stage unlocks daily, with a total of five stages.
- **Ammunition Types**:
- **Solid Shot**: Standard single-target shot, ideal for isolated enemies or stragglers.
- **Grape Shot**: Hits multiple enemies in a horizontal line, effective for grouped enemies.
- **Directed Piercing Shot**: Penetrates enemies in a straight or diagonal line, useful for aligned enemies or bouncing off reflectors.
- **Explosive Shot**: Triggers AoE damage and elemental reactions like Overloaded (on Electro slimes) or Vaporize (on Hydro-affected enemies). Best for shielded enemies like Wooden Hilichurl Guards.
- **Icy Shot**: Freezes enemies (e.g., Hydro or Pyro slimes), allowing follow-up with Solid or Grape Shots to trigger Shatter or other reactions like Melt.
- **Stage-Specific Tips**:
- **Stage 2**: Use Icy Shots to Freeze Hydro slimes, then follow with Solid or Grape Shots to Shatter. Save Icy Shots for Hydro Abyss Mages and Blazing Axe Mitachurls in later waves.
- **Stage 3**: Alternate Icy and Explosive Shots to trigger Melt for high damage.
- **Stage 5**: Utilize Bounce Pads with Directed Piercing Shots to hit multiple enemies via angled shots. Use Explosive Shots for Wooden Hilichurl Guards’ shields and Icy Shots for Hydro/Pyro slimes.
- **General Strategy**:
- Study enemy formations before firing to optimize shots.
- Use elemental reactions (e.g., Overloaded, Vaporize, Freeze) to clear waves efficiently.
- Save powerful shots (Grape, Piercing) for grouped or shielded enemies.
- Aim for explosive barrels to deal AoE damage and conserve ammunition.
- Reflectors in later stages (e.g., Day 5) allow Piercing Shots to bounce and hit multiple enemies, but you can opt for direct shots to avoid wasting shells.

### **Rewards**
- Completing stages grants:
- **Primogems**
- **Mora**
- **Hero’s Wit**

### **Event Quest: The Cannon Has Ears**
- **Description**: The Gardes in Fontaine face a monster invasion in a deserted ruin complex. A "Genius Inventor" has deployed an improved cannon, and players assist NPCs Chenee and Frejus to operate it.
- **Steps**:
1. Head to the event domain in Fontaine.
2. Speak to Chenee and Frejus to complete the quest and unlock the event.
- **Dialogue Insight**: Chenee mentions the ongoing monster problem, while Frejus emphasizes trust in the cannon’s capabilities.

### **Additional Notes**
- The event emphasizes strategy and resource management over brute force, combining tower-defense mechanics with Genshin’s elemental reaction system.
- Community feedback highlights player engagement, with some offering event completion services or sharing perfect clear results (e.g., 86 kills in Stage 5).
