Tutorial

During "Windtrace: Seekers and Strategy," you can play as either a Rebel or a Hunter. The Hunter not only possesses faster Movement SPD and greatly decreased Stamina consumption, but can also use extremely powerful Windward Arts to seek out the opposition, expose disguises, and more.
As for the Rebels, they can use their Windward Arts to disguise themselves as specific objects on the map, place bait, or temporarily enter a concealed state.

Contested Zones

When you participate in Windtrace, the Contested Zone will be randomly chosen from among the areas that have already been selected.

Name	Description
Canyon Confrontation Dadaupa Gorge, Mondstadt	The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: wooden barrels, wooden boxes, and wooden stumps. This canyon is bounded on three sides by mountains, and its opening is narrow, making it hard for the Rebels to maneuver. On the other hand, however, the Hunters' movements are also made predictable. Victory or defeat — all rests upon a razor's edge.
Winery Confrontation Dawn Winery, Mondstadt	The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: wine kegs, chairs, and street lights. The contention between Rebels and Hunter plays out by the countryside manor. The tall structure and the dense vineyard rows are excellent places for the Rebels to cover their tracks. The nondescript wine kegs and streetlights will also aid the Rebels in concealing themselves.
Rumble in the Ruins Guili Plains, Liyue	The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: wooden boxes and braziers. The low ruins provide little in the way of effective cover. Perhaps courageous confrontation shall instead be the key to victory.
Ritou Runaround Ritou, Inazuma	The current disguises in this Contested Zone are: wine barrels, Otogi Wood boxes, storage sacks, and short stools. The resistance would often have to meet with their contacts to keep abreast of the situation. The wily Hunters would also switch tacks to tail these informants, thus exposing the Rebels' refuges. As such, even the busy, prosperous harbor could become a contested area. These pedestrian streets were good for concealing oneself, but they also greatly shortened distances and the reaction times required. Danger lay in wait around every corner...

Windward Arts

All original Combat Talents will be replaced with "Windward Arts." Travelers can select the Windward Arts they want to use before the game starts.

Secret Favors are Windward Arts that can be picked up that replace the Elemental Burst.

Hunter

• If you play as a Hunter in the game, after the game starts, your task is to either stop the Rebels from repairing the Signaling Devices or eliminate all Rebels within the stipulated time. The various Arts of the Hunter can be used to detect the location of the opposing side and leave them shorn of their disguises.
• If the Hunter captures all the Rebels or the Rebels did not complete their task at the end of the stipulated time, victory goes to the Hunter.
• After the activity starts, the Stamina consumed by the Hunter in sprinting, climbing, and gliding will be greatly reduced.
• The Hunter's usage of the "Sensor Aura," "Mysterious Hunch," and "Capture!" Windward Arts is visible to all Rebels who have the "Co-Op Teammate Effects" graphics setting set to "On" (not "Partially Off" or "Off").

Image	Name	Talent	Cooldown
	Mysterious Hunch	Normal Attack	40s
	Briefly show the directions where all the Rebels are located. 40s CD.
	Shadecatcher Beacon	Normal Attack	30s
	Places a Shadecatcher Beacon on the ground that lasts for 30s. It will activate when a Rebel steps into its effect radius and give the Hunter an alert. The Rebel who activates this Beacon cannot Disguise for a while. Up to two Shadecatcher Beacons can exist simultaneously. This skill has a 30s CD.
	Sensor Aura	Normal Attack	4s
	Scout a fixed area around yourself. You will be notified if the area contains a Rebel. If a scouted Rebel moves, sprints, jumps, or glides within the next 5s, a marking pillar of light will be left at their current position. The skill has a 4s CD and can be used 3 times.
	Capture!	Elemental Skill	5s
	Dispel the disguise of a nearby Rebel and capture them. Note: This skill has three charges and can be used while gliding, climbing, and swimming.
	Unseen Pursuit	Elemental Burst	30s
	Causes one's position to disappear from all Rebels' minimaps and marks out the location of the closest free Rebel. The "Unseen Pursuit" effect lasts for 30s, and while this ability is active, the Hunter gains a Movement SPD boost, and the CD of "Capture!" is greatly decreased.
	Imprisoning Curse	Elemental Burst	40s
	Randomly dispels the disguise of one Rebel and restrains them for 40s. During this time, the target will be unable to leave the restraining area. The Rebels will be warned of this action.
	Insight	Elemental Burst	20s
	Dispels the disguises of all Rebels and briefly marks their location on the minimap while showing the position of nearby Rebels on the scene with a pillar of light. This effect lasts for 20s, and during this time, the Rebels will be unable to disguise themselves. The Rebels will be warned of this action. Note: This skill highlights all Rebels with a blue pillar of light which moves with the player.

Rebel

• If you play as a Rebel in the game, after the game starts, your team must fix 4 out of the 6 Signaling Devices on the map within the time limit while hiding to avoid the Hunter. The faster the Rebel can fix the Signaling Devices, the more Windtrace Coins obtained.

Image	Name	Talent	Cooldown
	Concealing Beacon	Normal Attack	45s
	Place a Concealing Beacon. While close to this Beacon, the Rebels will be invisible and cannot be discovered by the Hunter until the Beacon is destroyed or until the Rebel gets close enough to a Signaling Device to repair it. If the Hunter uses "Capture!" on the Concealing Beacon, they will have their vision obscured for a short time. 45s CD.
	Transparency	Normal Attack	30s
	Enter hidden mode for 5s. During this time, you cannot be discovered by the Hunter. Entering this mode will dispel your current disguise. The Hunter's Windward Arts "Capture!," "Mysterious Hunch," and "Sensor Aura" will all still take effect against a hidden Rebel. When a Rebel gets close enough to a Signaling Device to repair it, their hidden state will lose effect. 30s CD.
	Disguise	Elemental Skill	0.5s
	(TapTapText for touch screen/ClickClickText for mouse and keyboard/PressPressText for controller): Randomly disguise as one of the specialized objects in the area. Hold: Removes the disguise. The disguise will be removed when you glide or swim.
	Starstep	Elemental Burst	10s
	Movement SPD is greatly increased for the next 30s.
