Use Directed Piercing Shot and Grape Shot on Lined Up Groups

Genshin - Use directed shot
All enemies lined up diagonally or vertically can be dealt with by using the Directed Piercing Shot, while the enemies that are grouped into three and lined up horizontally can be shot at the same time with the Grape Shot!

Remember to save these shots for the right moment, and use Solid Shots for single stragglers and explosive barrels!

Use Explosive Shot on Electro Slimes, Wooden Shields

Genshin - Trigger Overloaded
Explosive Shots can be used most effectively on Electro slimes to trigger Overloaded, which can deal damage and potentially throw enemies off the stage. Explosive Shots are also needed to destroy wooden shields.

Take Down the Geo Samachurl First

Genshin - Aim for the Geo Samachurl
There will be at least three waves with Geo Samachurls, which create shields for their companions. You can use the Directed Piercing Shot to take them down quickly!

Trigger Vaporize in the Final Wave

Genshin - Trigger Vaporize
The final wave will have a Hydro stone that you can break with a Solid Shot, applying Hydro to all enemies. Trigger Vaporize using the Explosive Shot to defeat the enemies easily!

The second stage of Fearsome Ferocious Firepower have several waves of Hydro slimes, which you can Freeze using Icy Shots, before using Solid or Grape shots to shatter and defeat them.

Pyro and Electro slimes can be defeated in batches with just a few Icy Shots as well, and keep an eye out for explosive barrels you can aim for!

Use Solid or Grape Shot to Shatter

Genshin - Trigger Freeze then Shatter
Whenever you freeze enemies using an Icy Shot, you can switch to Solid Shots or Grape Shots to shatter them and deal damage, letting you save Icy Shots for future waves.

Use Piercing Shot on the Bounce Pads

Genshin - Piercing Shot to Bounce
When the waves with Bounce Pads appear, it's best to use Directed Piercing Shots to deal damage to as many enemies as possible!

Save Icy Shots for the Last 2 Waves

Genshin - Icy Shot on Hydro Abyss Mage
Keep track of your Icy Shots and make sure you don't use them up, as they'll be needed in the last two waves against the Hydro Abyss Mage and Blazing Axe Mitachurls!

Use Nega-Pressure Shots on the Spike Towers

Genshin - Group enemies at the Spike Towers
Stage 4 introduces the Nega-Pressure Shot, which can be used to group enemies together in a vortex. This shot doesn't deal damage on its own, so its best to aim it at the Spike Towers whenever those appear on the field!

Divide the Enemy Mobs Into Two When Necessary

Genshin - Group enemies together
When there are no Spike Towers, aim for the center of smaller mobs. When there are plenty of enemies on the field, it's best to crowd the enemies into two groups.

After grouping them together, you can use either Directed Piercing Shots to deal damage to multiple enemies or hit barrels when they appear, or use Explosive Shots on the slimes to trigger elemental reactions!

Wait for Enemies to Get Closer to the Spike Towers

Genshin - Wait for Mobs to get closer
Wait for the right timing when the enemies are closest to the Spike Towers before deploying the Nega-Pressure Shot, maximizing the time the enemies are being pulled in.

Save Explosive Shots for the Abyss Mages

Genshin - Destroy Abyss Mage Shields
The final wave will have a Hydro Abyss Mage and a Cryo Abyss Mage, both of which have Elemental Shields that can be broken with Explosive Shots. Remember to save at least a few shots for them, since there's no guarantee that the Large Pyro Slimes will react with their shields.

In Stage 5 of Fearsome Ferocious Firepower, there will be plenty of Bounce Pads that you can make angled shots with! Use the Directed Piercing Shots to bounce off the pads at several angles and to deal damage to all enemies in its path!

Remember to use Explosive Shots only when against the Wooden Hilichurl Guard, to remove their shields. You can also use Icy Shots and Solid Shots to get rid of Hydro and Pyro Slimes quickly!

Control the Cannon and Shoot at Enemies

Manage your Limited Amount of Shots

Genshin - Manage your Bullets
In each challenge, you will have a fixed number of ammunition. You must observe the characteristics of the monster waves and their formations before selecting suitable type of bullets at them.

All Cannon Shell Types

Shell Type Description
Genshin - Solid Shot Solid Shot The most basic type of ammunition, commonly used to hit single targets. Suitable for scattered monster formations.
Genshin - Grape Shot Grape Shot An ammunition type that splits into 3 projectiles after firing. Use the aiming lines to determine the projectiles' trajectories after they split.

Genshin - Icy Shot Icy Shot An ammunition type that deals Cryo DMG in a small AoE. It can trigger reactions such as Cold Snap and Frigid Frost, and is effective at slowing down the movement SPD of hit monsters.
Genshin - Directed Piercing Shot Directed Piercing Shot An ammunition type that generates a piercing energy beam after firing that damages all monsters along its path.
Genshin - Nega-Pressure Shot Nega-Pressure Shot An ammunition type that can be manually detonated after firing. Upon detonation, this ammunition type creates a small Nega-Pressure Zone at the blast site, which continuously draws in nearby monsters for its duration.

Match the Bullets to the Enemy Type
