Guide to Theater Mechanicus: Stage of Wonders in genshin impact, running August 12-26, 2021. Learn about Wondrous Sticks, Mechanici, and Mastery Levels.

Event Schedule: Theater Mechanicus: Stage of Wonders runs from August 12, 2021, to August 26, 2021.

Wondrous Sticks: These are a key feature of this iteration of Theater Mechanicus and can be used during the prep phase or during waves. They are divided into four types: Fortune Sticks (enhancements), Mystic Sticks (special buffs), Ominous Sticks (half the Veneficus Points cost of Fortune Sticks but with side effects), and Courage Sticks (buff enemies for more Veneficus Points). Fortune and Mystic Sticks have three rarities, with higher rarities offering stronger buffs at a higher Veneficus Points cost. Your Mastery Level increases unlock more Wondrous Sticks. Some stages may restrict certain Sticks. You choose from three random sticks and can shuffle them. You get up to four free shuffles, after which each shuffle costs 50 Veneficus Points.

Mechanici: These are the devices you deploy to defend. Construction costs vary:

• Veneficus Mechanicus: Dust Devil (Anemo DMG, knockback) - 500 Veneficus Points
• Veneficus Mechanicus: Glacial Bloom (Cryo DMG) - 500 Veneficus Points
• Veneficus Mechanicus: Furious Discharge (Electro DMG) - 500 Veneficus Points
• Veneficus Mechanicus: Rippling Reflections (Hydro DMG) - 500 Veneficus Points
• Veneficus Mechanicus: Inferno (Pyro AoE DMG) - 500 Veneficus Points
• Veneficus Mechanicus: Crack Shot (Physical DMG) - 500 Veneficus Points
• Tandem Mine (Pyro DMG, destroyed after use) - 100 Veneficus Points
• Mysticus Mechanicus: Arcanum (buffs nearby Mechanici ATK by 50%) - 250 Veneficus Points
• Recovery Mechanicus: Charity (nearby enemies Movement SPD decreased by 20%, gain 20 extra Veneficus Points on defeat) - 250 Veneficus Points
• Arcane Mechanicus: Binding (explodes, imprisons one opponent for 3s, destroyed after use) - 100 Veneficus Points
• Arcane Mechanicus: Banishment (knocks back nearby opponents, on cooldown for 6s) - 250 Veneficus Points
