Take note that Kamisato Ayaka and Mona's Alternate Sprints cannot be used in this Windtrace.

Rebels Tutorial

During the preparation phase, Rebels need to quickly find a hiding spot, use their Windward Arts to disguise themselves as objects within the map, place bait, or cleverly use the environment to hide and evade from the Hunter.

Windtrace 3.3 - Rebel & Hunter Tips

Rebel Hiding Tips

Use Small Characters

Small Chara

Characters with small stature, like Klee, Qiqi, Sayu, Dori and Diona, are difficult to find and can hide behind rocks or structures making it hard for the hunter to find them.

Use The Illusory Beacon

Illusory Beacon genshin windtrace

In the Windtrace 3.3 Version rerun, a new feature was introduced in the game which is called the Illusory Beacon. This feature allows captured rebels to create beacons to confuse the hunters and help their team. Once the hunter encounters the beacon, their vision will be obscured while hunting.

Take Advantage Of The Disguise Materials

windtrace 3.3

Make use of the disguise materials and go for a good hiding spot where your preferred disguise will blend well.

Use The Concealing Beacon

concealing beacon windtrace 3.3 genshin

Once a rebel goes near the Concealing Beacon they will remain invisible. The Hunter and even your Rebel teammates won't see you during the game.

Hunter Hunting Tips

Go For the Elevated Areas

You can climb at the top of trees and buildings since those are some of the hottest spots for hiding.

Check The Secluded Areas

Hunters can also check those areas that you think aren't mostly visited by players. These spots are quite a good spot as well for hiding.

Make Sure To Take The Special Favor!

Since the Rebels got more skill to use for this 3.3 version, this will be crucial for Hunters, so it is highly recommended to prioritize the Special Favor once it appears.

Use The Hunter's Net

Hunter

Hunters can use the new Windward Arts that was recently added for the 3.3 version. This skill will help the Hunters dispel the Illusory Beacon and reveal the hiding Rebels, however be careful as some beacons are just a trap and will cause you an obstruction.

Hiding up there in dragon spine is pointless since you’ll freeze to death. You will eventually need to go near a fire
That’s really the easiest field to win as a hunter

Anonymous 3

I freeze in dragonspine map how do i not?
