Where Waves Meet the Reef event gameplay
1) Fire Support Assault
The objective of Fire Support Assault is to defeat as many enemies as you can within the given time limit. As you keep defeating enemies, you will accumulate “Support Progress”.
Once Support Progress reaches its maximum level, you can control the Guizhong Ballista and shoot multiple enemies at once.
Fire Support Assault has a total of five stages, with each stage featuring different enemies and team buffs. Make sure to pick characters based on the buffs provided.
2) Thwack ‘n Smack Defense Bots
Thwack ‘n Smack Defense Bots has a tower defense-like gameplay, wherein you need to deploy Guard Mechanisms to prevent the enemies from breaching your stronghold. There are a variety of Guard Mechanism combos that you can create in order to strengthen your defense. Try and place defensive units in front of your offensive units in order to create an additional barrier. You can also use the “Bombing” technique at intervals to attack enemies that have gotten past your defense mechanisms.
3) Pneumousia Barrage Countermeasure
In Pneumousia Barrage Countermeasure, you will need to skilfully switch between Pneuma and Ousia attacks to defeat enemies. At the beginning of each stage, you will have either a Pneuma or an Ousia shield (which you can switch manually through the course of the challenge), and you will need to absorb incoming blocks of the same alignment in order to convert them into ammo for attacks. Do not absorb blocks of the opposite alignment, as they will deal damage to you.
When attacking enemies, hit them with missiles opposite to that of your shield element in order to deal increased damage to them. Some enemies can only be defeated using attacks of the opposite alignment, so you will need to switch your shield and attack accordingly.
