Rolling Crossfire Stage 1

Mechanical Device Preview
Unending Firepower
After Unending Firepower is struck by any shell, the turret will switch to continuously firing special shells which deal Physical DMG to opponents.
This switch lasts 6s.
If this device is not hit within a certain period of time, it will disappear.

Focus on Triggering the Mechanical Device

Genshin - Rolling Crossfire - Stage 1
For this level, the Mechanical Device will sometimes spawn in the arena, allowing players to hit them. Hitting this device allows players to rack up more points as the cannon will fire physical bullets instead of elemental ones.

Since the cannon is also auto-firing, players may find it easier to hit targets in the process instead of having to meticulously aim for each slime.

Rolling Crossfire Stage 2

Mechanical Device Preview
Loaded Field
After Loaded Field is struck by any shell, it will create a hazardous zone that continuously pulls nearby Slimes in and deals Physical DMG to them. If this device is not hit within a certain period of time, it will disappear.

Zone Out Opponents

Genshin - Rolling Crossfire - Stage 2
For this level, the previous Mechanical Device and this one will spawn at random intervals during the challenge. Hitting this device will spawn a zone that deals damage to any slimes that come across it.

Since the slimes in this level are moving towards the player, this provides good value for passive damage while the player focuses elsewhere.

Rolling Crossfire Stage 3

Mechanical Device Preview
Solid Strike
Solid Strikes are divided into Electro, Pyro, and Cryo types. After a Solid Strike is hit by any shell, it will immediately defeat all Slimes of that same Elemental Type on the field.
If this device is not hit within a certain period of time, it will disappear.
Simulated Obstacle
Piercing Shells can destroy this device. This device can stop all shells other than Piercing Shells.

Solid Striking

Genshin - Rolling Crossfire - Stage 3
To quickly rack up points in this part of the event, focus on the Solid Strike orbs that appear on the map. Usually they will also spawn with their corresponding Slime Types, allowing players to quickly dispatch them.

At the same time, save your piercing shells if possible to pierce through simulated obstacles and also hit Slimes at the same time.

Rolling Crossfire Stage 4

Mechanical Device Preview
Solid Strike
Solid Strikes are divided into Electro, Pyro, and Cryo types. After a Solid Strike is hit by any shell, it will immediately defeat all Slimes of that same Elemental Type on the field.
If this device is not hit within a certain period of time, it will disappear.
Loaded Field
After Loaded Field is struck by any shell, it will create a hazardous zone that continuously pulls nearby Slimes in and deals Physical DMG to them. If this device is not hit within a certain period of time, it will disappear.
Unending Firepower
After Unending Firepower is struck by any shell, the turret will switch to continuously firing special shells which deal Physical DMG to opponents.
This switch lasts 6s.
If this device is not hit within a certain period of time, it will disappear.

Free For All

Genshin - Rolling Crossfire - Stage 4
Despite being the fourth challenge, you can easily gather points for this part of the challenge just by playing through it, focusing on hitting enemies and Mechanical Devices.

Because of the multiple Mechanical Devices in play, any device that the player triggers should be helpful in some way to help them skyrocket their points.

Rolling Crossfire Stage 5

Mechanical Device Preview
Solid Strike
Solid Strikes are divided into Electro, Pyro, and Cryo types. After a Solid Strike is hit by any shell, it will immediately defeat all Slimes of that same Elemental Type on the field.
If this device is not hit within a certain period of time, it will disappear.
Simulated Obstacle
Piercing Shells can destroy this device. This device can stop all shells other than Piercing Shells.
Loaded Field
After Loaded Field is struck by any shell, it will create a hazardous zone that continuously pulls nearby Slimes in and deals Physical DMG to them. If this device is not hit within a certain period of time, it will disappear.
Unending Firepower
After Unending Firepower is struck by any shell, the turret will switch to continuously firing special shells which deal Physical DMG to opponents.
This switch lasts 6s.
If this device is not hit within a certain period of time, it will disappear.

Capture Momentum

Genshin - Rolling Crossfire - Stage 5
For the final part of Rolling Crossfire, focus on creating a consistent killing momentum, as instead of a regular time limit, the game gives you a countdown that decreases overtime but fills up as you rack up points and kills.

Every mechanical device from the previous days are fully available here, providing the maximum amount of opportunities to get points, but also the most unpredictability.

How to Play Rolling Crossfire

Use the Remote-Controlled Turret to Fire at Slimes

Genshin Impact - Rolling Crossfire - Gameplay 2.png

In Rolling Crossfire challenges, you must use the remote-controlled turret to shoot at the Slimes. The more you defeat within the allotted time, the higher your test score.

To remotely control the cannon, press the Fire button, which will cause it to fire the currently loaded round in the direction it is aimed.

Aim the Cannon by Moving your Character

The cannon will face the axis that connects your character and the cannon. You can change the turret's aim by moving your character.

Plan Elemental Reaction Shots

Genshin - Rolling Crossfire - Elemental Shots.png

The cannon is loaded up with a mix of Pyro, Cryo, and Electro bullets. Depending on the slimes you hit and what bullet hit them, you will trigger a number of effects.

Elemental Reaction Shot Effects

Reaction Effects
Operation Overload
Electro Pyro
Causes an explosion, sending nearby opponents flying.
Frigid Frost
Electro Cryo
Deals Cryo and Physical DMG over a wide area, decreasing All Elemental RES for opponents in the area.
Aggressive Ablation
Pyro Cryo
Greatly enhances this attack, increasing its AoE and dealing additional Physical DMG.

It is worth noting that hitting slimes with their own element will result in no damage and no effect due to their immunity.

Pierce Through Opponents

Genshin - Rolling Crossfire - Piercing Shot

At some points in the challenge, the player will instead gain a special piercing shot that allows the elemental bullet to pass through multiple opponents.

Use this opportunity to rack up a multi-kill on the slimes by positioning your shots correctly!

>The cannon will face the axis that connects your character and the cannon. You can change the turret's aim by moving your character. Move left to aim right... of course, brilliant design. Maybe even combine it with touchscreen controls, surely nothing could go wrong here.
