A new event is coming to Genshin Impact Version 1.6, and it's called "Kaboomball Kombat". For a limited time, players can earn a host of rewards by challenging and defeating Genshin Impact's newest foe, Dodofortresses.  But before fans jump into combat, here's everything to know about Genshin Impact's newest event.

With Genshin Impact's Legend of the Vagabond Sword event currently underway, Version 1.6 has had no shortage of earning rewards, and Genshin Impact's Kaboomball Kombat event will be no different. Participants will earn the event currency, Enigma Gears, for completing Challenge Quests while battling Dodofortresses. Enigma Gears will be exchangeable for Primogems, Character EXP Materials, Mora, and a "Celebration: Kaboomball" Event Namecard in the Event Shop. Enigma Gears will have no use when the Event Shop closes four days after "Kaboomball Kombat" ends, so they must be redeemed before then.

Genshin Impact's Kaboomball Kombat Gameplay Details Explained

Kaboomball Kombat lets contenders battle Dodofortresses on Genshin Impact's Golden Apple Archipelago islands. The Dodofotresses fire Kaboomballs at participants, challenging them to reflect and return the Kaboomballs to cause damage. Players can return the Kaboomballs by using Dodoguards. There are two types of Dodoguard returns players can achieve: a Normal Return and a Perfect Return. The type of return depends on the timing the Dogoguard hits a Kaboomball. Challengers will want to strive for a Perfect Return to inflict more damage to a Dodofortress.

Dodofortresses have a Fury gauge filling as players continue to rack up damage. Once full, the Dogofortress will enter Fury Faze, increasing the onslaught of Kaboomballs fired. There are special types of Kaboomballs that inflict more damage to a Dodofortress when effectively returned. Likewise, they can negatively affect the player if poorly reflected. During Fury Faze, special Kaboomballs have a higher chance of appearing, so contenders need to remain diligent. Dodofortresses can also generate shields for defense. In this case, only Perfect Returns can inflict any damage and destroy the shield. Throughout the challenge, Shazamfruits will appear, offering different support buffs during the battle. To earn the highest score in the latest Genshin Impact event, players need to defeat as many Dodfortresses as possible in the allotted time frame.

For fans looking to test their reflexes and battle their way to high scores, Kaboomball Kombat will offer fun and entertaining content. With the opportunity to earn precious rewards, the event will be well worth the effort put forth. Players can look forward to battling Genshin Impact's Dogofortresses on July 2, 2021.
