How to play the Rhythm Ball Meztli event

The Rhythm Ball Meztli is basically the game's iteration of Pinball, where you must bounce a ball against a bar to break various bricks. Destroying all the bricks before you run out of balls will complete the stage and provide the associated rewards.

The developer has also added a spin to the Pinball-like gameplay by making elemental reactions a part of the challenge. All the bricks present on the field belong to particular elements, and by switching between characters of various elements, the players can imbue their desired element within the ball. Depending on the elements of the bricks and the ball, different elemental reactions can be triggered when they come in contact.

Furthermore, players can increase the number of balls they control to three by breaking special white colored Bass Bricks. While it becomes harder to control so many balls at once, they can help you destroy numerous bricks simultaneously.

All elemental reactions in the Rhythm Ball Meztli event

Here are all the reactions you can trigger in the event:

• Detonate: When a ball triggers the Overload reaction using Electro and Pyro elements, it causes an AoE blast.
• Dissipate: When an Anemo ball hits a brick and triggers Swirl, it applies the element on nearby bricks in a fixed AoE.
• Surge: When a ball triggers the Electro-Charged reaction using Electro and Hydro elements, Surge is applied to the bricks, which causes an AoE blast.
• Pierce: When a ball triggers the Superconduct reaction using Electro and Cryo elements, it gains the Pierce ability, which allows it to punch through all bricks in its path instead of reflecting.
• Steaming: When a ball triggers the Vaporize reaction using Hydro and Pyro elements, it deals higher damage to the struck brick.
• Liquefy: When a ball triggers the Melt reaction using Cryo and Pyro elements, it deals higher damage to the struck brick.
• Coagulating: When a ball triggers the Frozen reaction using Cryo and Hydro elements, it causes the Coagulating effect that freezes all the bricks of the same type. Hitting any of those bricks again will cause all of the other frozen ones to shatter as well.
