Genshin Impact’s update 4.8 has brought us various events, but perhaps none are as interesting and engaging as the Summertide Scales and Tales event. Let’s take a look at how you can begin playing its flagship game Figurine Fabrication and then unlock Genshin Impact Kirara, a new four-star addition to your Genshin Impact female characters team.
How do I get Starsail coins?
First things first; in order to play the Figurine Fabrication minigame, you’ll need to gather some Starsail coins. You can do this by playing through the Mosaic of Moments, which consists of the minigames below, each offering you between 135 and 180 Starsail coins. And no, you can’t buy your way to Starsail coins by spending your money on Genshin Impact top up!
Flying Hatter’s Trick: Keep an eye on the arrow as you go about expertly collecting numerous mini-figures with a magic hat across a small surface. Build up your combos by attracting toy figures, and be sure to steer clear of those explosive barrels, or your hard work could go to waste!
Boreal Flurry: There’s nothing more satisfying than popping balloons, except maybe popping balloons while flying! That’s precisely what you’ll be doing in this mini-game with the help of your energy projectiles. Of course, you can improve your chances of striking the balloons by using AoE attacks, but keep in mind that they consume a lot of stamina, so balance accordingly.
Metropole Trials: This might seem a bit more familiar as it involves you taking down several waves of enemies while being empowered with different valor buffs. For example, one such buff increases the damage dealt by charged or plunging attacks and also decreases their stamina cost. Accordingly, you can set up your team in a way that takes advantage of this specific buff to maximize your killing efficiency.
The other valor buffs include those of elemental skill damage, energy recharge bonus, and elemental mastery buffs.
How Do I Unlock Genshin Impact Kirara?
Once you have enough Starsail coins, you can head on over to the Figurine Fabrication event located in the newly added Simulanka region as part of the Summertide Scales and Tales event. As the name suggests, the Figurine Fabricator allows you to exchange your hard-earned Starsail coins for various figurines, which you can then place in your Serenitea Pot.
In this case, since you’re looking for the Kirara figurine, you’ll need 300 Starsail coins, as each fabrication costs 5 coins and Genshin Impact Kirara requires 60 fabrications. Now that you have the coins arranged, navigate to the Summer Gifts section of the Figurine Fabrication event and get your hands on the prize!
Final Thoughts
The Summertide Scales and Tales event in Genshin Impact 4.8 update definitely offers an exciting opportunity to unlock the latest four-star character introduced in the game by participating in the Figurine Fabrication event. Apart from getting your hands on a new character, by participating in engaging minigames like the Flying Hatter’s Trick, Boreal Flurry, and Metropole Trials, you can also earn Starsail coins to exchange for various figurines. Definitely a win-win for us Genshin fans.
