One of the big appeals of Genshin Impact is its massive open world full of hidden secrets, puzzles, mini-games, and bosses. But in order to unlock new content you’ll often have to complete quests. These might be Genshin’s central Archon quest, which is how you get to Inazuma, or the Dragonspine questline, which lets you … Read more
Pay attention to the elements and switch characters constantly. Genshin Impact is not a game where one character is played and the other 3 slots are ignored, it just doesn’t work that way. A majority of the damage in combat comes from combining different elements to create different reactions such as Swirl, Crystalize, Frozen, Melt, … Read more
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
