The way the Wish system is first explained to players is a tad confusing if not slightly misleading. The game tries to explain it so that players will always want to Roll/Wish 10x as once, because if they do they’re guaranteed at least one 4-star Weapon/Character. And, this is true. But, players don’t have to … Read more
All characters in this game have one Passive that’s unlocked as soon as they’re collected, and a few others that will unlock as that character ascends to Phase 2 and so on. A ton of them are negligible like “the time this character takes on certain Expeditions in Mondstadt is reduced.” But, there are some … Read more
At floor 5 and upward of the Spiral Abyss, the game requires the player to set up two 4-character teams instead of one. At this point, each level is broken up into two halves where both teams will be required to clear a room/protect something. If a team isn’t leveled/geared enough to complete their half, … Read more
Players need to know now that the leveling/content for Genshin Impact starts to slow down around Adventure Rank 25, especially for free-to-play players. At first, it slows down bit by bit, but by around AR 30, it starts to slow down pretty hard. Now, it’s not like GI isn’t being incredibly kind with its microtransactions. … Read more
Artifacts are the “equips” of Genshin Impact, and can massively improve the performance of a certain character based on their effects. The categories are a tad odd, it isn’t like the head, chest, arms, waist, and legs system most games use. Instead, it’s broken down into Flower of Life, Plume of Death, Sands of Eon, … Read more
There is a lot of teleporting around in Genshin Impact. NPC’s will ask the Traveler to go from one side of the map to the other and then right back within the same Quest. And, for players who didn’t make an effort to explore the map early, this can turn the experience into a slog … Read more
At Adventure Rank 12, Daily Commissions unlock at the Adventure’s Guild. These are your dailies, the quests players only need to do once per 24 hours, and the incentive to at least log on for 20 minutes every single day. And, it works, because the Daily Commissions are honestly very worth the time investment. They … Read more
A common mistake at the beginning of the game, Genshin Impact players often find themselves holding down the sprint button to get to places faster. However, this process may not be as fast as players anticipate: holding down the sprint button consumes stamina incredibly quickly for most characters. In moments like these, tapping the sprint … Read more
As mentioned before, Genshin Impact has a small stamina modifier that can make moving a little bit more difficult. Coupled with fighting large groups of difficult opponents, dodging all attacks in Genshin Impact can be difficult, to say the least. However, when dodging isn’t possible, players can utilize the peculiarities of their elemental bursts to … Read more
Genshin Impact is a Gacha game no doubt, with the most obvious tell being the Wish system where players roll the odds to see if they’ll unlock a 5-star character/weapon. Of course, people can throw money at this game and roll as many times as they want, but there is a pretty well-developed in-game loop … Read more
