This event will see you teaming up and also competing against other players to obtain the prized Windtrace Coins. These coins, once accumulated, will reward you with different items, such as Primogems, Mora, and more. Here's all you need to know about it.

Windtrace: Seekers and Strategy - Event Overview

Genshin Impact's Windtrace event will run from May 14 to May 27, 2024, and to be able to participate you must be Adventure Rank 20 or above. To play this event, you must go to Mondstadt and talk to Gygax to begin a match of Windtrace.

This mini-game is an asymmetric match of "hide-and-seek" with a few twists that will put you in the role of an elusive Rebel, having to hide or use necessary camouflage to successfully escape, or a Hunter, in charge of chasing the Rebels and uncovering their locations before time expires and the match ends.

Windtrace Zones

There are eight playable zones in this event, each one portraying a specific area of the three available regions in Teyvat. These mini maps will have a different territory display and will be filled with objects you can imitate with the Disguise ability, as well as many possible places to hide.

Windward Arts

Depending on the role you play you will have access to different abilities, called Windward Arts, skills that will replace your usual Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Elemental Burst. These abilities will give you different appropriate advantages in a match that can help you turn the tables in almost any situation, proving them useful whether you're playing as a Rebel or a Hunter.

The list goes as follows:

Rebel Windward Arts

Concealing Beacon

Replaces Normal Attack

  • Place a Concealing Beacon. While near this Beacon, the Rebels will be invisible and cannot be discovered by the hunter until the beacon is destroyed.
  • If the Hunter uses "Capture!" on the Concealing Beacon, they will have their vision obscured for a short time.

Transparency

Replaces Normal Attack

  • Enter hidden mode temporarily.
  • During this time, you cannot be seen by the Hunter.
  • Entering this mode will dispel your current disguise.
  • The Hunter's Windward Arts "Capture!," "Mysterious Hunch," and "Sensor Aura" will all still take effect against a hidden Rebel.

Disguise

Replaces Elemental Skill

  • Press: Randomly disguise as one of the specialized objects in the area.
  • Hold: Remove the disguise.

  • If a scouted Rebel moves, sprints, jumps, or glides within the next 5 seconds, a marking pillar of light will be left at their current position for 5 seconds.

Mysterious Hunch

Replaces Normal Attack

  • Briefly shows the direction in which all the Rebels can be found.

Capture!

Replaces Elemental Skill

  • Dispel the disguise of a nearby Rebel and capture them.

Imprisoning Curse

Replaces Elemental Burst

  • Randomly dispels the disguise of one Rebel and restrains them for a time.
  • During this time, the target will be unable to leave the restraining area.
  • The Rebels will be warned of this action.

Insight

Replaces Elemental Burst

  • Dispels the disguises of all Rebels and briefly marks their location on the minimap while showing the position of nearby Rebels on the scene with a pillar of light.
  • During this time, the Rebels will be unable to disguise themselves.
  • The Rebels will be warned of this action.

Unseen Pursuit

Replaces Elemental Burst

  • Causes one's position to disappear from all Rebels' minimaps and marks out the location of the closest free Rebel.
  • The "Unseen Pursuit" effect lasts for 30s, and while this ability is active, the Hunter gains a Movement SPD boost, and the CD of "Capture!" is greatly decreased.
