Let’s play Arknights on PC and find out together!
The A Death In Chunfen event is divided into 3 different types of stages, one of which is the main event story stages. These stages will serve as players’ primary source of farming and event currencies.
There’s a total of 8 stages in the main story stages section and clearing them will reward players with 8 Originites in total when players first clear stages.
In addition, farming these stages will grant players event currencies needed to be used to exchange for event exclusive materials in the shop. The amount of currencies obtainable is proportional to the amount of sanity spent for each stage and every stage will have a special material that might be dropped once clear, therefore players should pick a stage that has the materials you need and farm that stage throughout the event for maximum efficiency.
In addition to the main story stages, a total of 8 EX Challenge stages, offering challenging stages that players only need to clear once to claim their full rewards.
When first clearing the EX challenge stages, players will be able to activate the Challenge Mode, enhancing the difficulty of the stages and reward players with an additional Originites for each clear for a total of 8 extra Originites.
These stages are extremely dangerous and difficult to clear, therefore players should pay attention and strengthen their squad before attempting to clear these stages.
During the Event Period, unlike other events, the special event currencies from the A Death In Chunfen Event can be dropped not only from main event story stages but also from special specific normal battle stages like resource stages and Main Story Stages from Chapter 0 to Chapter 11 of the Arknights Main Story.
During this period, when farming materials from these kinds of stages outside of the event, players will be able to obtain the special event currencies even if they are not farming the Event stages. Each stage will reward players with event currencies proportional to the amount of Sanity (or Stamina) they spend on the stage to clear them and they are counted as extra drops, not interfering with the normal drop rates of stages.
It is important to note that certain stages aren’t affected by this change like Contingency Contracts Test Stages, Annihilation stages and other event recollections stages.
The event shop is also available for all players during the event’s duration for players to exchange for special event exclusive items and character upgrading materials.
The main important thing players should focus on getting in the event is the brand new event limited skin available for exchange for the 4* Supporter Operator DeepColor’s limited time available skin
In addition, other important items to exchange include Information Fragments, Module Upgrade materials and character upgrading materials available from the shop. The priority should go from Module upgrading materials > Information Fragments > Character EXPs > Skill Books > Other materials.
Extra stories is a special feature available for the A Death In Chunfen event where players can spend special Information Fragments in order to unlock 6 different special side stories related to the stories of previous events. After unlocking these story stages, players will be able to play them and read the stories inside of them whenever they like as long as the event is still in its running period.
Players will need to have completely unlocked and read the 6 stories in order to fully finish the A Death In Chunfen event and obtain the special medal associated with the running of the event. The 6 Information Fragments required to unlock these story nodes can easily be exchanged in the Event Shop.
Together with the limited time A Death In Chunfen event’s release, Arknights will be holding a special rate up banner featuring 2 brand new operators for players to attempt to roll for - the 6* Lord Guard Qiubai.
Qiubai is a 6* Lord Guard that specializes in crowd controlling large groups of enemies by binding them in place and dealing massive amounts of Arts damage to them, allowing her to clear large waves of difficult to disperse enemies ahead of her.
Qiubai’s mains strong point lies in her ability to deal massive amounts of Arts damage due to her special talents that allows her to deal Arts damage to enemies that have been inflicted with the debuff Bind and the damage scales proportionally to Qiubai’s attack stats and will be further enhanced by her skills. Qiubai’s talent allows her to have a 20% chance to inflict enemies with the Bind debuff, allowing her to deal additional arts damage to these enemies with her 2nd talent.
Qiubai’s skill kit is one of the most effective DPS skill kits that enables her to become one of the best Arts damage dealers in the game. Qiubai’s 3rd skill is her main skill that allows her to deal damage to up to 3 different enemies at the same time, dealing massive amounts of arts damage by converting all of her damage to arts and with every hit, increases her attack speed by a massive amount, allowing her to not only deal damage but also deal it quickly and enhances her chance to inflict her Bind debuff on enemies.
Yes, You Should, BUT it depends. Qiubai is one of the best DPS characters in the game with her ability to not only crowd control large groups of enemies but also deal and defeat those enemies while remaining in a comfortable and safe position, allowing for her to be a good DPS character to use for both old and new players. Furthermore, her abilities and status as a Lord Guard allows her to have a lot of strong utility and usage in future contents of the game. However, her release timing is difficult since Arknights, based on its CN schedule, is about to hold one of its most important events in the form of a collaboration event, therefore, it is more advisable for players to save their currencies for now.
