Why Genshin Impact?

Gacha games were always popular with Asian and Japanese players, Genshin opened up this whole genre to a wider audience and made them accessible and fun for everyone and to all kinds of players. Why Genshin Impact? Well, Let’s see.

Great Anime Art Style, great Characters, great Story (some are a little long, but it’s fine). The gameplay is great, keep in mind that it IS a mobile game, with cross-play on other platforms.

Genshin Impact; it’s an immersive journey into a new world, Teyvat. From the vibrant city of Mondstadt to the serene Liyue and with new regions to come, Teyvat’s endless landscapes will keep you busy exploring for months and years.

The characters are unique, expressive, and feel like they were made with a genuine love for open-world games. Each of the characters in Genshin Impact has their own set of skills and abilities, not to mention a lot of personality.

What to do first in Genshin Impact? How to get more primogems?

  1. Stick with the story no matter what. When you get an archon quest or story quest, do it immediately. 
  2. The dialogue is important for maximum immersion. 
  3. If it shines, take it! Collect all the materials!
  4. Log in daily. It’s a chore, but it’s worth it. Use up your RESIN.
  5. Do all the events. They have lots of rewards!
  6. Don’t waste your gems on the standard banner. You’ll get all the characters from the character banners anyway.
  7. Exploration lets you find chests!

Genshin Co-Op is fun!

You’ll have a great time playing genshin co-op with your friends. When you do co-op with strangers, it can be pretty awkward or you can make good friends, you never know.

The Gacha System: Luck or Strategy?

With Gacha, character acquisition is a bit unpredictable. Does luck play a big role, or can strategic pulls make a difference?

There’s a lot of frustration when you don’t get the character you want. It doesn’t help that the re-run banners take forever to come back. You have to manage resources and primogems well.

Just save your gems for the characters you want to play with. There are a lot of characters, so it’s expensive to get all of them.

If you spent hours doing quests and exploration just to get a few primogem scraps each time, just to lose your 50/50 on a banner, it’s not fun.

Elemental Combat System

A game-changer is the elemental combat system. You have to think strategically and use skill to deal with different elements.  It’s fun to see enemies melt with the right combo of elementals.

The Amber mains deserve a shout out!

Whether it’s Amber’s archery or Diluc’s pyro attack, the variety adds depth to the gameplay. It’s big damage when you rotate your characters and use their skills all at once.
