Origami Bird Clash Event - Honkai Star Rail - Version 3.4

The **Origami Bird Clash: Official Edition** is a multiplayer arcade event in *Honkai: Star Rail* Version 3.4, running from July 1, 2025, to August 11, 2025, at 03:59 (server time). It’s a rerun of the Version 2.3 event, now featuring new mechanics and items, and is available as a Conventional Memoir event for continued play after the limited-time period. Below is a comprehensive guide based on available information:

### Event Overview
- **Eligibility**:
- Complete the Trailblaze Mission “Penacony — Stranger in a Strange Land” (part of the Farewell, Penacony series) to unlock the event.
- Alternatively, players at **Trailblaze Level 21 or higher** can access the Official Edition via **Finality’s Vision** without completing the mission, though completing the original event and mission is recommended for the best experience.
- **Gameplay**:
- Players engage in a match-three puzzle game where they match fruits to power up their Origami Bird and defeat opponents.
- Arcade machines are located across Penacony (e.g., Golden Hour) and must be brought to the Radiant Feldspar for battles.
- The Official Edition introduces:
- **Duo Duel mode**: Players take turns on the same battlefield with limited moves per turn, competing for higher combat power.
- **Battle Items**: Equip items like the Reset Cube or Peace Button to manipulate the board and enhance strategies.
- Matching 4 fruits creates **Line Bombs** (clear a row/column), and 5 fruits create **Super Bombs** (clear all fruits of the same type). Each bird targets specific fruits to build energy for abilities.

### Modes
1. **Story Mode**:
- Features Qingque, cursed by a Ghost Bird, teaming up with the Trailblazer to break the curse through Arcade Duels.

- Reputation Rank increases with victories, unlocking new combat features (e.g., Multiplayer Mode at Reputation Rank 3).

- **Boothill**: Use **Silbird Wolf** with **Reset Cube**, focus on Blueberries to trigger its Super Bomb skill.
- **Argenti**: Use **Robird** with **Peace Button** for efficient board clears.
- **Ghost Bird**: Use **March Bird** with **Peace Button** and **Reset Cube**, prioritize Strawberries to trigger Line Bombs.

2. **Multiplayer Mode (Multiplayer Bonanza)**:
- Unlocked after reaching Reputation Rank 3 in Story Mode.
