In this guide, we will tackle how to take on both the Assault and the Defense Scneario of the Mutual Security Enhancing Simulation, Genshin Impact Version 4.7’s main event.
Let’s start off with the event’s basics. The Mutual Security Enhancing Simulation Event in Genshin Impact is not your usual combat event, as you don’t directly fight enemies. Instead, you deploy units and towers to do the fighting for you.
The units that the player has access to are divided into three groups, which dictate their play style. These are Single-Target, Team, and AoE units. Furthermore, the units also have separate attack styles: Melee, Ranged, and Flying.
This is important, as there is a rock-paper-scissors-esque combat mechanic in place. Single-Target units can burst down AoE Units, which can easily defeat every unit in a team, who can easily overpower Single-Target enemies.
Melee units can easily take down Ranged units with no close-quarters combat abilities, while Ranged units can take down Flying units. Finally, Flying units can easily take down Melee units that cannot reach them. When choosing a team, players must take these Suppression Rules to counter the enemy.
Players also have access to Leadership Skills, powerful Elemental Attacks that can deal damage to enemies, as well as apply Elements on them. These have a long cooldown, so players must save their Leadership Skills for when they need it most, such as some emergency damage, or to quickly take down bigger enemies.
As for rewards, this event will reward the usual Primogems, Leveling Materials, Weapon and Skill materials, and Mora. Additionally, players can also get the 4-Star Bow Cloudforged once they reach a certain amount of Analysis Progress. Players can also get its Refinement Material, the Cam and Cables of Law.
As of this article, it is now possible to get the Bow and all of its Refinement Materials.
Now that we have discussed the Mutual Security Enhancing Simulation event basics, let’s dive into our guide for the Assault and Defense Scenarios of the game, which have their own unique rules.
As the name implies, the Assault Scenario has players actively attacking the enemy, with the goal of destroying the enemy’s main tower. To do so, the player must build a team that can counter the enemy’s team, allowing them to push forward and destroy the enemy’s base.
When deploying units, players can only deploy around towers that they own. After destroying and capturing any of the enemy’s towers, players will be able to start deploying around said towers. This allows the player to deploy their troops closer to the final goal.
Now, let’s dive into each level.
Opponents
As the enemy team consists of Team units, bringing AoE units is the best move. That way, they can easily take down the enemy team.
Possible Lineup
Leadership Skill: Sweeping Whirlwind
Deploy the AoE Melee to deal with the slimes and Hilichurls. Meanwhile, deploy the ranged units once the Electro Cicin arrives. Deploy other units as needed.
Opponents
Since the enemy are all Single-Target units, overwhelm them with Team units.
Possible Lineup
Leadership Skill: Blazing Breakthrough
Deploy the Slimes, Fighter, and Cicin as needed to fight against the ground units. Once the Specters start spawning, bring out the Shooters.
Opponents
Since the enemy is mostly AoE units, combat them with Single-Target units. Bring along some AoE units as
Possible Lineup
Leadership Skill: Blazing Breakthrough
The biggest problem here is the Ruin Guard. While the ruin Guard is not there, deploy the Specters and AoE units first. When the Ruin Guard appears, deploy your Kairagis to deal with it.
Opponents
This enemy team has a little bit of everything, with more AoE units than Single-Target and Team. Bring Single-Target units, as well as some other units to round it out.
Possible Lineup
Leadership Skill: Sweeping Whirlwind
Hold on to the Hydro Mimic Finch and Geovishap Hatchlings as they can be deployed anywhere. Deploy the other units as normal, and use both the Mimic and Hatchlings as reinforcements for units that seem to be having a hard time.
Opponents
Similar to the previous level, this team is well balanced, so bring your own team of balanced units to counter them.
Possible Lineup
Leadership Skill: Sweeping Whirlwind
Simply match the units you have to the enemy units based on the suppression rules. Remember: AoE beats Team beats Single-Target beats AoE.
As of this article, there are two more Asasult Scenario levels for players to finish in the Mutual Security Enhancing Simulation event in Genshin Impact, so this guide will be updated once they unlock tomorrow.
The Defense Scenario is different in two ways. The first is that it is wave-based, with players having time to prepare in between each wave. Second, instead of attacking and destroying the enemy’s tower, players must instead protect their towers from getting attacked.
Whenever enemies get defeated, players have a chance to get units or towers to place down. It is not required to place them down immediately. It is better for players to hold onto the units and towers until they are needed.
One last thing to note is that the lineup is fixed for all Defense Scenarios.
Opponents
Lineup
Leadership Skill: Sweeping Whirlwind
Deploy the Shooter and Potioneer primarily on the Left Flank to counter the Flying Units. Deploy everyone else at the Center. Place the Stronghold Mechanicsm: Pyro between the Left Flank and Center so that it can attack both lanes. Use the Leadership Skill to take care of clumps of enemies.
Opponents
Lineup
Leadership Skill: Blazing Breakthrough
Deploy your Hydro towers between the Center and Right Flank so that they can attack both lanes. Reserve your Mines for the Center Lane, as that is the Ruin Guard’s lane. Deploy your units as necessary whenever the enemy units spaw. Specters are best deployed at the center thanks to the lack of anti-air units.
Opponents
Lineup
Leadership Skill: Blazing Breakthrough
Deploy the AoE units on the Left Flank, and the Team units on the Right Flank. Primarily deploy the Stronghold Mechanism: Cryo on the Left Flank to supplement the units. Should you find one lane or the other overwhelmed, deploy units as needed.

Lineup
Leadership Skill: Momentous Wave
Deploy Specters and the Bubbler on the Left Flank, and the rest in the Center. Place the Stronghold Mechanism: Electro between the Left Flank and Center. In Wave 2, focus on deploying units in the Center. In Wave 3, deploy extra units instead in the Left Flank.

Use Momentous Wave to heal up low HP units, especially if they are the only ones defending an areas.
