Utilize Dissipate and Detonate Reactions

For Stage 1 of Rhythm Ball Meztli, it is recommended to use Mavuika and Ororon to trigger Overload and activate Detonate due to the bricks being infused with either Electro or Pyro.

You can also use Mizuki or any Anemo Character to trigger Swirl and activate Dissipate causing a similar AoE DMG to Detonate.

Break Bass Bricks to Gain Additional Pinballs

In Stage 1, try to break the bass bricks once they spawn in the event area. These bass bricks will replace certain active bricks and they come in a vibrant white color.

You will gain an additional Pinball for each bass brick you break, which can help you destroy bricks faster and gain higher points. However, having multiple Pinballs may make it difficult for you to catch and return them.

Use Electro-Charged Against Rhythm Boss 1

Rhythm Boss 1 Dopey Floaty Freebird summons electro bricks onto the field and a good way to counter it is to use Mualani or any Hydro characters so that you can create Electro-Charged reactions.

This way you can damage the Dopey Floaty Freebird via the lightning chain AoE DMG caused by the elemental reaction while you are destroying the bricks protecting it.

Have One Pyro or Cryo On Your Last Slot

For the last slot in your party, you can opt to choose either Pyro or Cryo characters, which can cause an explosive AoE DMG that can clear out multiple bricks and make the Pinball pierce through other blocks.

Add a Hydro Character to Your Party

Add a Hydro Character to Your Party

In Stage 3 of Rhythm Ball Meztli, you might want to consider adding a Hydro Character to your party so you can trigger the Frozen reaction with Citlali, which lets you catch and hold the Pinball for a limited time.

This will let you throw the frozen Pinball in whichever direction you want, giving you full control over which brick or set of bricks you want to destroy first.

Bass Bricks Can Widen Your Bar in This Stage

For Stage 3, breaking the Bass Brick will give a new buff where your bar increases in width compared to other stages where it provides you additional Pinballs.

Utilize Overload Against Rhythm Boss 2

Utilize Overload Against Rhythm Boss 2

In Stage 4, you must defeat the Searing Lavabird that constantly hides behind bricks. Luckily, most of the bricks are Pyro, so you can utilize the Overload reaction with Mavuika and Ororon to cause AoE DMG to break the bricks and damage the Rhythm Boss simultaneously.

You could also add any Cryo or Hydro character to your last two slots, if you wish to use other reactions.

Gain Fireworks Buff by Breaking Bass Bricks

Breaking the bass bricks in Stage 4 will give you the fireworks buff that shoots fireworks at each end of your bar and can instantly break the brick it hits.

Using a Cryo Character Would be Best

With most of the bricks being Hydro and Electro in Stage 5 of Rhythm Ball Meztli, using any Cryo character might be the best option. Cryo can cause Frozen reactions with Hydro, which can make some of the moving bricks to stop.

Additionally, Cryo can cause Superconduct reactions with the Electro bricks which makes the Pinball one-shot and pierce through the brick.

Aim for the Lava Deflectors at the Back

In Stage 6, the fastest way to defeat Rhythm Boss 3 is to aim for the lava deflectors at the other end of the stage. Hitting the deflectors will give you additional Pinballs, making it easier to clear the bricks and hit the boss more often.

Once you have enough Pinballs bouncing around the stage, it is only a matter of focusing on catching each one and returning it. Additionally, the recommended elements to use for stage 6 are Hydro and Electro.

How to Play Rhythm Ball Meztli

Return Incoming Balls

During the challenge, control the bar to return incoming Pinballs and break various bricks. Achieve higher scores within the time limit or defeat Rhythm Bosses as quickly as possible to earn rewards.

You can sprint and move forward and backward in order to catch and return the Pinballs back. You will also have a total of 7 balls to use, with one ball you will immediately use at the start of each stage and six reserve balls.
