Guide for the event Catching invasive species
During the Invasive Fish Event in Fontaine, there are two modes available: Cooperative and Competitive. Every two days, game server time, the point limit increases, and you can start a new stage of hunting for a reward while fishing.
During the event, you will have to catch fish using nets, which consume a certain amount of action points. The tools differ in their capture radius and have fixed chances of catching. So, to catch small, medium or large specimens, it is better to use nets of the appropriate size, which will affect the effectiveness of fishing.
Sometimes the competition pond will experience high tides, which will bring in large numbers of fish and increase the chance of encountering a unicorn fish. Catching one will earn a large number of points for both the team in co-op mode and the lucky angler in solo competition.
How to Complete Invasive Species Capture in Genshin Impact
The fishing event consists of two modes - cooperative and competition. In both modes, you need to collect fishing points to get rewards. To unlock all the rewards, you need to collect 3000 points.
- The co-op mode involves four players working together to achieve a common score. The final score in this mode is calculated based on both individual results and teamwork.
- In the competition mode, all four players compete against each other and receive only a personal score, as well as a rating, which will subsequently affect the selection of subsequent opponents. To participate in this mode, you must pay 200 action points.
Also, to receive individual rewards, it is necessary to fulfill several separate conditions for catching a certain number of different types of fish with different nets.
Catch small fish
To complete the "Catch small fish with a small net" requirement, select the very first net worth 5 action points in any mode. It is most effective at catching orizia - the smallest fish of different colors.
Catch a medium sized fish
To complete the objective "Catch a medium fish with a medium net", you must select the second net, which costs 20 points. Medium fish are larger than the small medusas, but much smaller than the large ones that appear in the challenge. They are most easily identified by their bright color, such as the green sunfish.
Catch a big fish
The challenge also has a requirement to "Catch a large fish with a large net." Choose the last and most expensive net for 60 action points. This net catches large false dragons and pufferfish.
Catch a huge fish
There is only one huge fish in the challenge - the Gemstone Unicorn Fish, which appears several times after the warning and disappearance of other fish. It can only be caught with a large net, but you will not be able to do this the first time. Spam the net on it to get a better chance of catching a rare fish and get 2500 points right away.
Catch the miracle fish
The wonder fish can be any type and is distinguished by a colored glow around it. For example, a green glow increases action points for each fish caught, a yellow glow increases action points by 5 times, and a red glow gives a random boost. Pay close attention to the size of the wonder fish to choose the right net and get a useful buff.
