Genshin Impact: Windtrace Event Guide

Preview

Windtrace is a new event in Genshin Impact that is essentially "Hide and Seek". Upon matching with other random players, 3 out of 4 of you will be the "Rebels" while 1 will be the "Hunter". The event can take place in one of five of the contested zones, as seen below. You can play with friends in your friends list, even with 1 or 2 friends, just that you will be unable to earn Windtrace coins from those rounds of gameplay. This guide will give tips on how to win as a "Rebel" or a "Hunter" and explain the respective Windward Arts and rules of the game.
