Imagine a world where the very air pulses with electrifying beats, where the fate of your Primogems hangs on the precision of your tap—welcome to the Iridescent Arataki Rockin' for Life Tour de Force of Awesomeness! Is this just another event in the vast world of Teyvat? Oh, dear player, it is the definitive test of rhythm and reflex, a carnival of chaos where only the most awesome dare to tread. The legendary Xtreme Carnival Ensemble sub-event, a cornerstone of the Genshin Impact 4.6 update, has evolved into a permanent fixture of musical mastery by 2026, challenging veterans and newcomers alike to prove their mettle.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to earn the coveted title of 'The One and Oni'? It all begins with a simple interaction. Seek out the ever-enthusiastic Dvorak near the pulsating heart of the event venue. With a confident "I'll have a go," you are thrust into the arena. The stage is set, the crowd (metaphorically) roars, and the first crucial decision awaits: Selecting Your Destiny of Difficulty. Don't be fooled—this choice is the difference between a pleasant melody and a symphony of sweat!

🎵 The Four Pillars of Punishing Performance

Before you dive headfirst into the beat, you must choose your path. The event presents a gauntlet of four distinct difficulty tiers, each more demanding than the last:

Difficulty Level	Description	Unlock Condition
Normal	The gentle warm-up. A perfect starting point for finding your rhythm.	Available from the start.
Hard	The tempo increases! Notes come faster, testing your basic skills.	Available from the start.
Pro	The true challenge begins. Only the dedicated need apply.	Available from the start.
The One and Oni King	The ultimate trial. Legends are made here.	Must first clear Pro with a Dulcem rating.

Is your finger hovering over 'Pro'? Remember, conquering 'The One and Oni King' is the ultimate flex, but the gate is locked until you prove yourself on the Pro stage with a flawless Dulcem performance.

👆 Core Gameplay: It's All in the Tap (and Hold!)

Once the music—the "Lustrous Trick"—crashes over you, the screen becomes a battlefield of notes. Your mission is deceptively simple, yet execution is everything:

• Normal Notes: These circular markers rush toward the decision line. A single, precise tap as they cross the line is all it takes. Easy, right?

• Long Notes: These are the game-changers! Appearing as elongated strips, they require you to hold the button down until the entire light strip vanishes. Release too early, and you kiss those bonus points goodbye!

Your entire score, your glory, your rewards—they all hinge on two factors:

1. Accuracy: A 'Perfect' hit showers you in points, while a 'Good' or 'Miss' dims your star.

2. Combo Counter: This is where legends are forged! Maintaining an unbroken chain of hits multiplies your score. Break the combo, and watch your potential rewards crumble.

Feeling the pressure of high ping or just finding your rhythm legs? Fear not! A tap on the settings icon in the top-right corner unveils a sanctuary of customization. Adjust note speed, calibration, and visual effects to craft your perfect play environment. After all, would a true maestro perform with an untuned instrument?

💎 The Glittering Loot: Your Reward for Rhythm

Why subject yourself to this auditory assault? For the spoils of war, of course! But be warned: mere completion is not enough. You must achieve the hallowed Dulcem rating on Normal, Hard, and Pro difficulties to claim your prizes. The rewards are as sweet as the victory:

Normal Difficulty Rewards (Dulcem Required):

• ✨ Primogems x60 (The universal currency of dreams!)

• 🎫 Iridescence Tour Tickets x60

• 🔥 Agnidus Agate Fragment x3

Hard Difficulty Rewards (Dulcem Required):

• 💰 Mora x20,000

• 📚 Hero's Wit x3

• ⚔️ Mystic Enhancement Ore x6

Pro Difficulty Rewards (Dulcem Required):

• 💰 Mora x20,000

• 🗺️ Adventurer's Experience x3

• ⚔️ Fine Enhancement Ore x6

Can you imagine the power these resources grant in the ever-evolving landscape of 2026's Teyvat? They are the building blocks of supremacy!

🚀 Beyond the First Beat: The Carnival's Grand Symphony

The "Lustrous Trick" is merely the opening act! The Xtreme Carnival Ensemble is a sprawling festival of music, with a lineup of iconic challenges that have become classics by 2026. Conquering the first song unlocks a cascade of rhythmic adventures, each with its own unique flavor and reward pool:

1. Surasthana Fantasia - A melody woven from wisdom and dreams.

2. Rex Incognito - Earth-shaking beats fit for a lord of geo.

3. Any Last Words? - A fiery, aggressive tempo that demands respect.

4. Parousia Diluvi - A flowing, aqueous rhythm that washes over you.

5. Se mettre sur son trente-et-un! - An elegant and complex composition.

6. Nippy Bout - A swift, playful tune that tests your speed.

Each of these stages is a new world to master, a new set of rewards to earn, and a new badge of honor for your player profile. Will you be a one-hit wonder, or will you become the undisputed maestro of the entire Xtreme Carnival Ensemble? The stage lights are on, the music is queued—your tour de force of awesomeness awaits. Tap, hold, and unleash the rhythm within!
