If you need to know how to defeat Mallet the Smasher in Genshin Impact’s new Beetle Brawl event, we have a detailed guide for you!
How to defeat Mallet the Smasher
To defeat Mallet the Smasher, you will need to keep your distance to avoid the consecutive, close-range attacks that it can do. While not slow, it’s also not the fastest opponent, so you may have some time to move out of the way to avoid its attacks. The key is to charge up Onikabuto’s energy, then release it to rush forward to do a Piercing Strike.
Mallet the Smasher is noted to have considerable combat strength at both medium and close ranges, it will attack consecutively, and it has medium movement speed. This brawl became available on February 16th.
Remember, you’ll want to hold the forward button to instruct the Onikabuto to charge its energy, and then release the forward button to consume Stamina and charge forward. When fully charged, Onikabuto will charge forward two-tiles length. To move back, you’ll hit the back button to go 1 tile backward to dodge or avoid an opponent’s attacks. Onikabuto will do a Piercing Strike move if it reaches the opponent’s exact position after charging forward. You can also cancel charging to avoid spending Stamina if your timing is wrong!
