STARTING THE EVENT
Simply go to the Events tab and it’ll be there waiting for you.
TRIAL CHARACTERS
Remember that characters will default at C0 if you do not have them, while characters you do have will have any constellations you do, e.g. I do not have Keqing and therefore have her at C0, but my Trial Noelle will be at C6 because I have a C6 Noelle.

- Mona
- Amber
- Barbara
- Beidou
- Sucrose
- Noelle
- Xinyan
