Genshin Impact Phantom Flow Event Will Start This Week

A new event will start from August 20, 2021 in Genshin Impact, titled Phantom Flow. Get ready for a no holds barred fighting tournament for rewards such as Primogems, Mora, and Hero’s Wit experience books. Players will need to be over Adventure Rank 30, and they also need to complete the Archon Quest “Ritou Escape Plan” and the World Quest “Chisato’s Letter” to start Phantom Flow.

There are two modes for each challenge: Shoden mode and Okuden mode. There are three difficulty levels in Shoden mode, ranging from Normal to Extreme. To unlock Okuden mode for a challenge, you will need to complete that day’s fight on Extreme difficulty in Shoden mode. If you play a Phantom Flow challenge on a higher difficulty and win, that counts as completing the lower difficulties as well.

Each challenge will have Shinryuu Mechanics with their own special effects. However, there is no information on Hoyolab as to what those mechanics may entail. When it comes to combat events in Genshin Impact, they come in two flavors. The Contending Tides event, for example, simply threw hordes of common world enemies at you. In contrast, events like Never-Ending Battle had more powerful enemies and allowed players to customize the difficulty level and settings for better rewards. Phantom Flow seems to combine elements from both types in its difficulty settings and two different modes. As a side note, players will not be able to co-op for Phantom Flow.

The Phantom Flow event in Genshin Impact will go live from August 20, 2021 and will end on August 30, 2021. Genshin Impact is readily available worldwide on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and mobile devices. A Nintendo Switch version is in development.
