Wondrous Sticks

Learn about Wondrous Sticks in genshin impact Theater Mechanicus, including Fortune, Mystic, Courage, and Ominous types. Purchase with Veneficus Points.

Wondrous Sticks are random buffs you can choose throughout the stage in Theater Mechanicus. These will temporarily enhance your Mechanici, repair your terminus, and provide various other buffs. You’ll purchase them with Veneficus Points that you earn during the stage, and you’ll be able to do this an infinite amount of times, providing you have the currency to spend on them. These will help you get the best results for each stage, as some buffs are ridiculously strong.

There are four types of sticks: Fortune, Mystic, Courage, and Ominous.

• Fortune Sticks - These will provide various enhancements to your Mechanici.
• Mystic Sticks - These will grant you special buffs.
• Courage Sticks - These will buff your enemies, but reward you with more Veneficus Points for your trouble.
• Ominous Sticks - These will cost half the Veneficus Points to draw, but have all manner of unknown side effects.

When you start a stage of Theater Mechanicus, you’ll have a randomized deck of sticks to choose from. You can shuffle these at the cost of a free shuffle; you start with three free shuffles, which can be extended to five with the increase of your Master Level. After that, it’ll cost you fifty Veneficus Points for each shuffle afterwards. The Sticks also have rarities; the higher the rarity, the better the buff at the cost of more Veneficus Points. Finally, you’ll unlock more Wondrous Sticks as your Master Level increases, and some stages will block you from using some of them.
