What is the Witch’s Homework in Genshin Impact?
The Witch’s Homework is a permanent event introduced in Genshin Impact Luna III (Version 6.2) that allows players to unlock special abilities for certain Mondstadt characters. These special abilities are called Hexerei: Secret Rite buffs, and they significantly enhance how these characters perform in battle. The event centers around the Little Witch’s Dictionary, a magical item that contains individual homework assignments for each eligible character.
Unlike temporary events that disappear after a few weeks, the Witch’s Homework is a permanent addition to the game. This means you can complete it at your own pace without worrying about missing out on these powerful character enhancements. The event was created as part of the Hexenzirkel faction storyline, connecting to the lore of witches and magical knowledge in Mondstadt.
The Witch’s Homework system represents a new way to strengthen your favorite characters beyond their normal talents and constellations. By completing these special quests, you unlock additional effects that make your characters more powerful and provide new team-building possibilities.
How to Unlock the Witch’s Homework Quest
Unlocking the Witch’s Homework quest is straightforward, but you need to follow the steps in the correct order. Here’s exactly what you need to do to get started with this exciting event:
- Open the Events Overview – Launch Genshin Impact and open the Events menu from the main screen
- Select Witch’s Homework – Look for the Witch’s Homework event on the left side of the Events Overview
- Start the Solution Quest – Tap on “Go to Quest” to begin the “Witch’s Homework: Solution” quest
- Visit the Mondstadt Library – Head to the library in Mondstadt and find Lisa
- Help Organize Books – Assist Lisa by arranging the new supply of books in the library
- Find the Little Witch’s Dictionary – After organizing the books, you’ll discover the Little Witch’s Dictionary
- Meet Alice – The dictionary will summon Alice, who explains the purpose of the Witch’s Homework
- Talk to Lisa Again – Speak with Lisa one final time to complete the initial quest
After completing these steps, the Witch’s Homework system will be permanently unlocked for your account. You’ll also receive a special reward: the ability to choose one free character from Razor, Sucrose, or Fischl to join your party immediately.
Understanding the Hexerei: Secret Rite Buffs
The Hexerei: Secret Rite buffs are the main reward for completing the Witch’s Homework quests. These are special enhancements that make certain Mondstadt characters more powerful and provide new team synergy effects. Understanding how these buffs work is essential for getting the most out of the Witch’s Homework event.
Hexerei: Secret Rite is a team synergy system that requires at least two Hexerei characters in your party to activate. When this condition is met, the eligible characters receive additional effects on their abilities and generally become more effective in combat. Each Hexerei character has their own unique enhancements that complement their existing kit.
Currently, eight characters can receive Hexerei buffs:
- Sucrose
- Durin
- Mona
- Venti
- Klee
- Albedo
- Razor
- Fischl
These characters represent some of the most popular Mondstadt characters in the game, and their Hexerei buffs make them even more viable for endgame content. The buffs range from simple damage increases to completely new mechanics that change how you play these characters.
Requirements for Unlocking Character Buffs
Before you can unlock the Hexerei: Secret Rite buffs for each character, you need to meet two basic requirements. These requirements ensure that players have some experience with the characters before unlocking their enhanced abilities.
Character Ownership: You must own the character you want to unlock the buff for. This means you need to have obtained the character through wishes, events, or other means. For example, if you want to unlock Venti’s Hexerei buff, you need to have Venti in your character roster.
Character Level: The character must be at least level 70. This requirement ensures that you’ve invested some time into developing the character before accessing their enhanced abilities. Level 70 is a reasonable milestone that shows you’re familiar with how the character works.
Once you meet these requirements for a character, you can unlock their individual Witch’s Homework quest through the Little Witch’s Dictionary. Each character has their own unique quest that you’ll need to complete to activate their Hexerei: Secret Rite buff.
How to Use the Little Witch’s Dictionary
The Little Witch’s Dictionary is your gateway to accessing all the Witch’s Homework quests for individual characters. This magical item serves as a quest hub where you can view and accept homework assignments for each eligible character. Here’s how to use it effectively:
- Open the Character Menu – From the main screen, select the character you want to unlock the buff for
- Go to Talents – In the character screen, select the “Talents” option
- Find the Secret Rite Talent – Look for the new locked “Secret Rite” talent option
- Select “Go to Homework” – This will open the Little Witch’s Dictionary interface
- Choose Your Character – Select the character you want to unlock the quest for from the list
- Accept the Quest – Click “Accept Quest” to begin that character’s Witch’s Homework
- Complete the Quest – Follow the quest objectives to finish the character’s homework
- Unlock the Buff – After completing the quest, the character’s Hexerei: Secret Rite buff will be unlocked
The Little Witch’s Dictionary will show you which characters are eligible for their Witch’s Homework quests and which ones you’ve already completed. It’s a central hub for managing all your Hexerei character enhancements.
All Witch’s Homework Quests for Every Character
Each Hexerei character has their own unique Witch’s Homework quest with different requirements and storylines. These quests are designed to be relatively short but meaningful, providing additional lore and character development while unlocking their special buffs. Here’s a complete list of all the Witch’s Homework quests:
| Character | Quest Name | Brief Description |
| Sucrose | Of Wonderland Flowers | Help Sucrose with a special botanical experiment |
| Durin | Of This World | Assist Durin in understanding his place in the world |
| Mona | Of Untested Insight | Join Mona in testing a new astrological prediction method |
| Venti | Of the Waking of Wind | Help Venti awaken an ancient wind spirit |
| Klee | Of Leaves That Spark | Assist Klee with a special explosive experiment |
| Albedo | Of Questions Beyond Questions | Join Albedo in solving an alchemical mystery |
| Razor | Of the Little Wolf Pack | Help Razor reconnect with his wolf family |
| Fischl | Of the Unexpected | Uncover a mysterious phenomenon with Fischl and Oz |
Each quest has its own unique objectives, dialogue, and rewards. While the quests are generally short (taking about 15-30 minutes each), they provide valuable context for why these characters are receiving their Hexerei enhancements and how the buffs fit into their existing storylines.
Tips for Completing Witch’s Homework Quests Efficiently
To make the most of your time with the Witch’s Homework event, here are some practical tips that will help you complete all the quests efficiently:
Plan Your Character Progression: Focus on leveling the Hexerei characters you use most frequently first. Since you need characters at level 70 to unlock their quests, prioritize the ones that are already close to this milestone.
Check Story Quest Requirements: Some Witch’s Homework quests may require you to complete certain story quests first. For example, Durin’s quest is best done after completing his story quest. Check the requirements before starting each homework assignment.
Team Composition Matters: When doing the quests, consider bringing characters that complement the quest character. For instance, if you’re doing Klee’s quest, bring a character that can help with explosive-related challenges.
Save Resources: Don’t spend all your resources leveling characters at once. Complete the initial Witch’s Homework: Solution quest first, then plan which characters you want to focus on based on your team preferences.
Document Your Progress: Keep track of which characters you’ve completed the homework for. This will help you avoid confusion and ensure you don’t miss any of the valuable Hexerei buffs.
Explore Thoroughly: Some quests may have hidden objectives or optional content. Take your time to explore the areas and talk to all NPCs during each quest to get the full experience.
Common Problems and Solutions
While the Witch’s Homework system is designed to be user-friendly, some players may encounter issues. Here are solutions to common problems:
Quest Not Appearing: If the Witch’s Homework: Solution quest isn’t showing up, make sure you’ve completed the Archon Quest Prologue: Act III “Song of the Dragon and Freedom.” This is a prerequisite for accessing the event.
Character Not Eligible: If a character isn’t showing up in the Little Witch’s Dictionary, double-check that they’re at least level 70 and that you own them. Some characters may have additional requirements, such as completing their story quests.
Buff Not Activating: If you’ve completed a character’s homework but the buff isn’t working, ensure you have at least two Hexerei characters in your party. The buffs only activate when this team condition is met.
Little Witch’s Dictionary Not Opening: If you can’t access the dictionary, try selecting a character that meets the requirements (owned and level 70) and navigate to their talents menu. The option should appear there.
Missing Rewards: If you didn’t receive your free character choice after completing the initial quest, check your in-game mail. The reward is often delivered there rather than given directly.
