Harmonious Reed Pipe will have runes on top of them, which show the sequence players need to activate them in; the Pipe with one symbol must be activated first. If there are several Pipes with the same number of runes, this means they need to be played at the same time​​​​.

For example, if there are three Harmonious Reed Pipes with one, two, and three runes, then people must place the Dew Bubble so the Pipes play in that sequence. This can be seen while playing the Foggy Forest Path quest in Genshin Impact.

Meanwhile, if there are three Pipes, all with one rune, this means they all need to be activated at once. This can usually be done by combining two Dew Bubbles, which will increase the ripple range when the Bubble bursts.

Other than for the Harmonious Reed Pipe, Dew Bubble's ripples can also be used for objects that require Hydro application. For instance, the Water Volume Detection Crystal puzzle.
