Know The Basic Gameplay in Genshin Impact

Like other game introductions, Genshin Impact will show you basic skills and how to operate your character. This game also has a complete guidebook with instructions if you encounter something new in this game. Before we jump to tips for beginner players in 2022, we should know the basic rule to find amusing things while playing this game with friends.

Follow Through With The Instruction

After you pick the nickname and gender, you will be called Traveler by NPC. In the first place, you have to learn basic moves like run, hit, jump, and dash. There are also other features such as gliding by spreading wing. Paimon, as your first friend will guide you to Mondstadt, the first town in this game. As we mentioned before in the guide book, if you encounter an elemental reaction, elemental gadget, or specific monster, it will show the detailed instruction, it is easy right. Moreover, Paimon isn’t a common guide, she also can get upset about certain actions like playing the sound control. Well, that is one of the features that Genshin Impact is fun.

Element Reactions Are Important Matter

Building the first team with certain elements maybe make you confuse since there is also the main feature of Genshin Impact to defeat enemies. For example, hydro slime can’t be damaged by the same element and appear “immunity” text. To counter that, use a physical attack or other elements to defeat it like pyro or cyro. There are 7 Elements, pyro, hydro, dendro, geo, anemo, cyro, and electro. If each of these elements mix one to another one will create an element reaction depending on the element. This is important to get maximum damage to a monster with the right element reaction and the right combination of elemental skill and elemental burst.

Find Material, Treasure Chest, And Anemoculus Is Fun

Defeating a monster will give you some exp, mora, and drop items like character material for ascension, artifacts, or weapons at a small rate. Moreover, you also can search for unusual objects like mushrooms and flowers as cooking ingredients, or ores for forging weapons. Some mini creatures like fireflies, butterflies, and lizards also can be picked up for material in some alchemy experiments to make useful gadgets. On top of that, a treasure chest is also scattered around Teyvat. Some of them may be locked and certain actions need to be solved by some puzzle or defeating the monster.

While you explore this open-world game, there will be a floating anemoculus near you with a distinctive sound and appear on the mini world map. Collect it and offer it to the nearest statue of the Seven to increase the statue level and obtain a certain reward. It also unlocks features that enhance stamina and get a lot of exp.

Open Up Map With Activating The Statue

At first, if you got placed on the beach, your map will be blank. However, there is a statue icon for each region. As a first-timer, you can get unlock the place by activating the statue. There is also a waypoint that also acts as a teleport device just for the traveler to help move around the Teyvat. If your Adventure rank is high enough, there is also a portable waypoint that can be created and placed freely based on your needs. Yet, you should complete the archon quest first to get permission to enter a certain region.

Know The Role Of Each Character

Unlike Zelda just one character with many tools and weapons, Genshin Impact can play up to 4 characters on one team. You can switch the character while fighting a monster and use some combo with each elemental skill your character have. If you know Lost Saga, its playstyle is more like that. Combo by swap characters with skills is fun. Moreover, some characters have the passive skills to help you explore Tevyat. You will give early characters like Amber (Bow/Pyro), Kaeya (Sword/Cyro), and Lisa (Catalyst/Electro). Depending on your play style, you can make it stronger like a 5-star character.

Spend Up Time To Increase Character Strength

In the late game, while waiting for a new update, players aren’t doing anything about that, but gathering powerful artifacts by farming and farming. Increase your Adventure Rank to 45 and gain the full potential of your character by ascending and building up artifacts based on their role. There is also the talent and level-up material that needs to be farm first. If your get bored playing by yourself, invite other players or join their world to gain experience and some achievement together.

How To Effectively Spent Time For Beginner Player in Genshin Impact

In the first section, we explain the basic rule of this wonderful game. And this part is crucial to knowing the efficient way of spending time within the game. Many beginners make mistakes by increasing their character first to level 90 and waste resources (especially on mora management). Furthermore, beginner Genshin Impact players in 2022 may miss certain events, but it is, not a problem. The first one is to enjoy the game since this game is not a competitive game. Because of that, we guide you with some tips for beginners to play Genshin Impact with smooth progress.

Follow The Story And Enjoy The Game 

Since this game is not a competitive game so enjoy the story. Rush story by skipping may not be good because certain hints can appear during a conversation with NPC and take a lot of time to clear by force. Moreover, there are some quests to unlock the region. It is important to make progress in your character, especially if you have an Inazuma region character (one of the strict places which can’t be entered by walking or swimming). Complete the archon quest first on each region to open the local quest. Furthermore, some quests also have a special trigger to open the quest.

The reward usually primogems with several items like mora, ore, exp book, and many more. In addition detail, always check the map for the quest icon (blue rhombus box with exclamation symbol) since it provides a reward and side story within the game. While taking some quests especially related to the main story, you couldn’t invite your friend to come over to your world. So, be mindful before taking some quests.

Keep Up With Adventure Rank and World level

As a Beginner player On Genshin Impact, you should be focused on increasing your Adventure Rank at least until level 12 on the first day. Why? Because at that level, the daily commission will be open to get free primogems. Adventure Rank can be increased by exploring, defeating monsters, unlocking regions, and opening treasure chests. Below are certain AR levels with certain information to unlock the system while playing the game.

Moreover, Certain Archon quests and events also have AR requirements to unlock at least level 30. While you rank up AR level, there also capped world mission to increase world level. It used to scale up the monster strength by a certain level with better drop items. Beginner players usually rush the level-up world quest without better build-up character and make them hard to get material. This world-level system also can be scaled down if too hard for farms and gather better equipment while level-up AR system.

Build a Balance Party With Good Resonance Element

While on your journey, you may encounter various monsters with elements. Wrongly picking a character can make it harder to be defeated, so choose carefully. In another section, we explain the elemental reaction, so there is also one elemental feature that affects based on the character in a team called elemental resonance. It is also essential to boost your team with bonuses attack or give better resistance.

For example, 2 Anemo + 2 Pyro characters can give you 25% ATK and increase movement speed by 10%. You can combine it with other resonances to match your play style. A team with 2 anemo characters is also good for exploration since it provides good movement speed and cooldown reduction.

Moreover, some elemental monsters also have element weaknesses that can be an option for defeating them faster. Here is the table of the element monster with their element weakness:

The best way to defeat monsters is by observing their main element. Some weekly bosses have more than 1 element (for example, Azhdaha and La Signora) so pick wisely the team you want to use after these bosses.

Strengthen Your Character With Good Artifact and Better Weapon

Artifacts and weapons are the main power of Genshin Impact since it really needs good luck to obtain a favorable stat. As for beginner players in 2022, you are lucky because many artifact domains have been released, so you can pick your fitting combination artifact. At first, you may collect 3-star or 4-star artifacts and as time goes by with higher World Level and Adventure Rank, you may need 5-star artifacts. Higher AR provides a better chance to get better artifacts.

Weapons and talent ascension are also important to get higher input damage. However, don’t focus on the ATK stat, other stats like DEF and HP are also essential for the whole team. For instance, Noelle, Zhongli, and Kokomi have skills that scale up depending on their DEF and HP. Elemental Mastery and Energy Recharge are also essential to multiply element reaction damage and provide elemental burst by shortening the time recharge.

Tips from us for strengthening your character are prioritized on the main character with DPS, Sub-DPS, and support in one team. Focus on leveling up this character first by farming its material ascension and artifact. Slowly but surely it became powerful at the end-game period.

Cooking and Finding the Ingredient

This advice may be less beneficial at first since you can dodge the enemy attack by tapping dash. However, for first-timer who are really not familiar with a key move or forgot to add a healer on the team, Cooking is important to clear the boss. Moreover, it also can revive the dead character (by a fried egg, literally). There is also achievement to clear some food recipe for obtaining primogem. Furthermore, the low-level characters can be buffed with food and make them stronger.

Before cooking, you should have the ingredient first and the recipe to make it. Some quests will give you the free recipes and you can find other recipes by buying them on stall food. However, keep it at a moderate amount since it is considerably expensive for beginners. If you have a better experience with dodge move, skip this advice.

Use Resin and Daily Commission

Effectively use resin depending on your need. Resin is essential to collect artifacts, weapon ascension, and talent material in the domain. Moreover, it is also used for obtaining rewards on the weekly boss and also can be used to craft into condensed resin with alchemy. If your original resin is full, use it immediately on the domain, or craft it for later uses. Moreover, the resin can be recharged with 1 resin every 8 minutes, so your original resin is full-on for 21~22 hours. In addition, if you want to use it on Ley Line Outcrop, wait until the right time like a double drop event. It usually happens before a big update and has more benefits than usual time.

Dialy commission is also the same as important as primogems dwelling. It is fundamental for Genshin Impact players to complete the daily quest of this mission. This quest also has high exp to level up Adventure Rank, so don’t ever skip it, especially for the free-to-play player.

Spent Every Mora Wisely And Don’t Forget About Sigil

In early AR, you may stock up with millions of mora and kind waste if it is not being spent. However, at higher ascension on character development, it really needs more mora. Having 8 digits of mora can vanish in a second for talent level-up and weapon ascension, so try to focus on one character first to spend with. Mora can be obtained by taking Blossom of Wealth or killing some hilichurls. If you unlocked the reputation system, you can take 3 quests from NPC and raid a particular medium-grade monster to get mora.

Besides that way of mora farming, sigil also provides a good amount of mora than you think. Sigil usually comes with a treasure chest and is used to buy material ascension on the stall with a diamond sign. However, it is still worth exchanging it with more, especially in the Liyue sigil that comes not only on the treasure chest but on the certain rock with sparkling animation.

Puzzles Are Everywhere And Give Your More Game Income

One of the key features that Genshin Impact has is a puzzle. Yes, this game has a lot of puzzles you need to solve and get a treasure chest as a reward. The easiest puzzle is to destroy all of the objective items, light on some torch, or blow up the balloon. As time goes on in other regions, it is more and more complicated with some mechanisms. How do differ the puzzle one and the normal structure? Well, since there is no sign to locate in your quest box, all you can do is use the elemental sight. This feature is useful not only for certain quests but for finding puzzles and hidden treasure chests.

Elemental sight can reveal different materials on the map and moving part system. It usually has a gray distinctive color, but it could also have other colors depending on the element which attaches to the item. While exploring, frequently use elemental sight as a scanner to get little primogem. In addition to exploring some domains in event quest or archon quest, always check the destructive item and smash it. Some domains have treasure chests at least 2~3 chests if you are lucky.

Invite Your Friend To Help You Raid Some Monster

Genshin Impact has a Co-Op Feature that can help you on collecting material. On top of that, some friends with the same world level can join to raid the hard-level domain for gathering artifacts, talent material, and weapon material. There are also achievements that need friends to defeat the weekly boss together. In Addition, there is a common custom when coming to another player’s world. If the other player with a higher world comes to your world, they usually ask permission to farm some specific material and exchange it with helping you with some domain or bosses. This mutual environment on Genshin Impact is good to meet new people and building a better game community.

How To Spend Primogem Wisely

Ok, let’s talk about Genshin Impact in-game currency like primogem. It is used to obtain limited character or their signature weapon by gacha, dice rolling system. Despite this money-charging system, you can obtain free primogem while questing and entering certain events within the game. A popular way to obtain free primogem is by playing Spiral Abyss with full mark star if possible. You can get up to 600 primogems if you complete it and reset it within 2 weeks. The second one is an open treasure chest with 5 – 40 primogems depending on the type of treasure. The last one in daily commission with 4 x 10 primogems plus 20 if reported to adventure guild.

How to spend it depends on what you need or what you want. Some players say “waifu/husbando is better that META” and that it’s complicated to choose while you have limited sources. However, Genshin Impact also has a pity system to guarantee the possibility to get character. In one character banner, on 90 roll time, you will get a guaranteed 5-Star character. While in weapon banner, it scales down to 80 roll times. Be mindful to use primogem for filling up the resin since it is hard to collect.

• Buy Gnostic Hymn or Gnostic Chorus to get a Battle Pass weapon and a better reward.
• Buy Blessing of the Welkin Moon to obtain more primogems by 30-day daily gift.
