Genshin Impact Hyakunin Ikki Event Returns This Week

In Genshin Impact, miHoYo tends to bring back old activities. Typically, this happens at least six months after their debut, if not a year later. Now the Hyakunin Ikki Genshin Impact event is poised to return on March 18, 2022. This is a battling event in which you take teams of characters and swap between them as you face enemies.

The Hyakunin Ikki event first appeared in Genshin Impact back in September 2021. The March 2022 revival should feel similar. How it worked in the past is that people would make teams of two characters. (People are supplied, but you can use your own.) You’d then need to fight enemies, swapping off, to earn high scores. You also equip Special Arts to buff your parties. Depending on your scores, you will earn Primogems, Mora, Mystic Enhancement Ores, Talent Level-Up Materials, and Weapon Ascension Materials.

This isn’t the only major Genshin Impact event happening on March 18, 2022. MiHoYo announced the 2.6 event stream will be held that day. It will go over the next update. That will bring the Chasm to Liyue and add Ayaka’s brother Ayato as a playable character.

Genshin Impact is available on the PS4, PS5, PC, and mobile devices. It will also eventually come to the Nintendo Switch. The Genshin Impact Hyakunin Ikki event will return March 18-28, 2022.
