Genshin Impact: Hypostatic Symphony event guide
Genshin Impact‘s Hypostatic Symphony event introduces Pure Hypostasis bosses for you to fight. You’ll be able to choose from several modifiers and difficulty levels, earning you points once you complete the encounter.

Anyway, you can refer to the pages below for the mechanics that you need help with:

The basics – Hypostatic Symphony event modifiers/variations, solo vs. co-op, and general tips.
Rewards and high scores – The stuff you can get after finishing the challenge successfully.
Day 1: Violet Lightning Concerto I – Pure Electro Hypostasis
Day 2 update: Storm Butterfly Intermezzo I – Pure Anemo Hypostasis
Note 1: Genshin Impact‘s Hypostatic Symphony event runs from January 16 to January 31. You do need to reach Adventure Rank 20 before you can start it.

Note 2: More bosses will get unlocked in the coming days (a total of seven for this entire event), so make sure to bookmark this guide since I’ll update it frequently.

Let’s discuss the basics of the Hypostatic Symphony event.

 

As mentioned in the main page, you’ll need to reach Adventure Rank 20 first. If you meet the requirement, simply open the event panel and teleport to the location.

You’ll spot a domain marker that’ll let you start the fight.

Only one boss/challenge,  Violet Lightning Concerto I: Pure Electro Hypostasis, is available for now. The rest will be added each day until a week has passed.

You’ll also notice that each boss/challenge will have several boosted characters (they’ll have buffs for that particular encounter only).

Next up, you’ll see the variations screen. These are the modifiers and difficulty levels that you can select.

Difficulty levels:

Easy – x1 score multiplier; boss level 20.
Normal – x1.5 score multiplier; boss level 40.
Hard – x2.5 score multiplier; boss level 60.
Expert – x4.5 score multiplier; boss level 80.
Modifiers/variations:

You can choose from several modifiers (a majority of which will make the encounter tougher). These include the time limit, extra enemy health, enemy elemental resistance, damage, and more. You can mix and match accordingly to find the perfect combination, one that’ll give you a high score (based on the difficulty multiplier) while not being too much of a hassle.

Moreover, there are some positive modifiers, too. Examples include an increase to your shield strength as well as crit damage and crit rate. Since these provide benefits, these will deduct from your overall score and they’re also affected by the multiplier.

Note: Since we’ve just started this Genshin Impact event, I’ll mention the boss modifiers separately in their own pages. As of now, I’m unsure if the modifiers will be different for future Hypostasis bosses.

Co-op vs. solo and encounter tips

Although the Hypostatic Symphony event appears in your world, it’s also possible to invite your friends (or randoms) or, conversely, join their worlds. You may also join Genshin Impact‘s Discord to look for players in your server who are tackling the event.

Then again, if you’ve leveled up your characters and you’re confident in your abilities, you can attempt some solo runs. At best, you’ll have characters you’ve geared out completely, and you can perfectly time any elemental combos that are necessary.

Don’t forget that Genshin Impact‘s Hypostatic Symphony event acts as a domain encounter, but with a couple of unique twists:

The Hypostasis bosses have unique attacks. If you need to practice, you can choose the “Hard” difficulty first before trying out “Expert.”
Before you start the battle, wait until every character’s elemental burst has been fully charged (it’ll be done within seconds).
You can use multiple food and potion buffs, including those that reduce the damage taken from a particular element.
You can equip the NRE Menu gadget to have healing food ready.
It’s possible to revive dead characters during the fight.
If any of your characters die or if the attempt isn’t going your way, just leave the domain. Once you go back in, your team will be fully healed. The only minor annoyance is that you’ll need to select your modifiers again since there’s no retry button.
The event is also a good way to keep your party in tip-top condition (in terms of HP and bursts) in case you just want to do other activities in Genshin Impact.
