Tutorial[]
- Rhythm Ball: Rules
While playing Rhythm Ball, the player must actively serve their ball, and propel the Pinball forward.
The Pinball will rebound upon colliding with the bar. If the collision occurs while the bar is moving, the rebound vector of the ball will also change.
The more efficiently you destroy bricks during a stage, the more points you will gain when the stage ends.

The more efficiently you destroy bricks during a stage, the more points you will gain when the stage ends.
Based on the Elemental Type possessed by the character controlling the bar, the bar will be infused with the corresponding element and apply the same element to the Pinball.
During Rhythm Ball, when there are Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, Electro, or Anemo Characters on the field, they will apply their corresponding element to the bar.
Detailed Elemental reaction rules can be found in the event menu.

Reserve balls have a limit during challenges. Once the last Pinball shoots past the lower boundary, it will be considered lost, and will permanently reduce the number of balls in your reserve.
When reserve balls are at zero, you will fail the challenge.

Bass Bricks will appear in the stage at intervals. Destroy them to gain the buff effects for this stage.
After gaining the buff that increases the number of Pinballs, up to 3 Pinballs can exist on the field at a time.
After gaining the buff that increases the number of Pinballs, up to 3 Pinballs can exist on the field at a time.
When there are less than a requisite amount of bricks on the field, the bar will fire a flurry of fireworks forward. Should any of these fireworks hit a brick, they will inflict DMG. You can use this method to destroy bricks that are hard to hit.
- Rhythm Ball: Detonatorball
After a Pinball triggers an Overloaded reaction with the bar, it will gain the Detonate effect: Upon hitting a brick, a blast that deals AoE DMG to surrounding bricks will occur.
- Rhythm Ball: Freezeball
After a Pinball triggers a Frozen reaction with the bar, it will temporarily halt in place on the bar, though the bar will still be able to move. After the Frozen duration elapses, the Pinball will automatically shoot forward. Alternatively, it can also be preemptively propelled by active choice.
- Rhythm Ball: Surgeball
After a Pinball hits the bar and causes an Electro-Charged reaction, the Surge effect will be applied, unleashing lightning from the struck brick that randomly deals DMG within a fixed AoE to surrounding bricks.
- Rhythm Ball: Dissipate
When a Pinball hits a brick and causes a Swirl reaction, the Dissipate effect will be triggered, applying the Element within a fixed AoE to surrounding bricks. When these bricks come into contact with other Elements, they will perform the relevant reactions.
- Rhythm Ball: Detonate
When a Pinball hits a brick and causes an Overloaded reaction, the Detonate effect will be triggered, unleashing a blast that deals AoE DMG to surrounding bricks.
- Rhythm Ball: Coagulating
When a Pinball hits a brick and triggers the Frozen reaction, it will unleash the Coagulating effect: Causes all bricks of the same type that are connected to the struck brick to be frozen. Should the Pinball strike a frozen brick again, it will immediately shatter that brick along with all other frozen bricks connected to it.
- Rhythm Ball: Surge
After a Pinball hits a brick and causes an Electro-Charged reaction, the Surge effect will be triggered, unleashing lightning from the struck brick's position that randomly deals DMG within a fixed AoE to surrounding bricks.
- Rhythm Ball: Pierce
When a Pinball hits a brick and causes the Superconduct reaction, the Pierce effect will be inflicted: Hit bricks no longer cause reflections. Instead, the ball will continue moving forward, punching through all bricks in its path. The effect ends when the Pinball strikes the boundary.
- Rhythm Ball: Steaming
After a Pinball hits a brick and causes the Vaporize reaction, the Steaming effect will be triggered, dealing higher DMG to the struck brick.
- Rhythm Ball: Liquefy
After a Pinball hits a brick and causes the Melt reaction, the Liquefy effect will be triggered, dealing higher DMG to the struck brick.
- Rhythm Boss I
The Rhythm Boss "Dopey Floaty Freebird" will summon multiple Electro bricks onto the field. Perhaps you can take advantage by causing your Pinballs to bounce between your opponent and these Electro bricks, or use Elemental Reactions to trigger an effect and deal DMG...
Defeat the Rhythm Boss to win the challenge stage!

- Rhythm Boss II
The Rhythm Boss "Searing Lavabird" will protect itself with a ring of bricks. Use the buff effects gained by destroying Bass Bricks to obtain enhanced fireworks so you can quickly take out the surrounding bricks and deal DMG.

- Rhythm Boss III
The Rhythm Boss "Blazing Beat Lavabird" has multiple Lava Deflectors behind it. When your Pinballs hit these, they will split into multiple balls and bounce back. As the Rhythm Boss's HP decreases, Pinballs will split into even more balls.
