Overview
Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.2 has released and with it comes the game's second anniversary! Alongside the usual anniversary event, the flagship event for Version 3.2 has been released, this time named Seal Slammers. Once again the Trailblazer is entrusted with various cute creatures who can be collected to satisfy all of your cuddling needs, and there are new rewards that I'm sure some Trailblazers out there will enjoy. I haven't done an event guide in a while, so hopefully I can fix a few of the mistakes I made in the Critter Pick guide. The event is essentially air hockey / curling, with different baby seals providing different effects.
Missions
Before we start anything, the event will have to be gradually unlocked through Missions that center around a tournament involving... baby seals. Below are the list of steps for each Mission, with all being the official descriptions except for the first.

After this point, you will have to best a "new" NPC called Pai-non in a Seal Slammers match. This serves as the tutorial for the game, and you are unable to choose which baby seals you would like to bring. The seals you and your opponent use are as follows:

Bubbles is especially unique as it has the honor of being the second Pet added to the game. Bubbles is one of the very first baby seals you can use in the game, and is the only one to not be a seal at all! Instead, it is a blue Chimera with aspects of cats and fish.

Arena Mode serves as the online portion of the event, allowing you to combat other Trailblazers in Seal Slammers matches. It's unlikely that this will remain permanent, as in the past Flagship Events have removed the online portion after the Event ends.
There are two sections in the event - Matchmaking Battle and Friend Battle. Friend Battle allows you to battle against anyone on your Friends List, while Matchmaking Battle pits you against random opponents.
You can earn various ranks by winning Matchmaking Battles and earning points. The ranks are as follows:
