The Genshin Impact Secret Summer Paradise event runs fromJuly 5,2023,to August 16,2023, bringing with it a limited-time area called the Veluriyam Mirage. During the event, you may participate in a plethora of Attractions, including the Spino Blaster—a water balloon-blasting activity invented by an engineer fromFontaine. I had a blast playing this mini-game, especially in Co-op mode. Here’s everything you need to know about it.

After unlocking the event, complete the first Summer Serendipity Chapter called Secret Summer Paradise: Part I - An Invitation From Afar! Doing so will unlock theAttractionssection of the event menu, where you may participate in a plethora of mini-games within the Veluriyam Mirage.

How to play Spino-Blaster in the Genshin Impact Secret Summer Paradise event

Upon starting Spino-Blaster, you’ll be directed to the stage selection page. There are four stages in total that unlock one after another, and they can be played both in solo and Co-op modes. Before starting, don’t forget to check theStage Detailsfor information on what kind of balls will appear on the map. Generally, you only need to be wary of the Brouhaha Ball (purple ball), which deducts 20 points and destroys your combo.

There are two ways to play Co-op:

For controls, check the exact buttons specified on the bottom right of the screen, as it varies per device. PC users will have to click theleft mouse buttonto aim and fire Hydro bullets, and theR buttonto reload.

Your goal is to destroy as many water balloons as possible within the time limit whileavoiding the purple Brouhaha Balls. You’ll accumulate points that can be tracked on the upper left of the screen. Destroying some objects will merit you more points or offer buffs to help you score better.

Once you’re done, head to theevent menu, selectAttractions, and selectSpino Blasterto claim rewards for your effort. You only need to score 6,000 points per stage to collect enough points to get all rewards, which I thought was manageable with little effort.
