Those characters are usually anime-styled and come with their own plot threads, backstories, and unique gameplay styles.
But what exactlyisGenshin Impact, and how does it play?

Read on to learn more.
So, what is Genshin Impact at its core?
To find your lost sibling who was cruelly snatched away by a mysterious entity.
Deep crypts and caves are just one of many places to explore.
And the game does reward its fans quite frequently.
Publisher HoYoverse dropped 1000 primogems on players to celebrate its Gamescom mobile award win.
What is Genshin Impact’s “wishing” system?
Deep crypts and caves are just one of many places to explore.
What exactly does “gatcha” mean?
After playing a little bit of the story, players can unlock the main “gacha” element wishing.
During this time you’re able to “wish” for your desired characters.

But I would advise you to choose carefully.
Each wish costs 160 primogems, and you may not obtain the 5-star character quality you want.
If previously you wished on a promoted banner and obtained a standard banner 5 star (e.g.
Jean, Mona), you have a 100% chance of getting the promoted character in 90 wishes.
This is the gamble.
Bearing in mind you only get a minimum of 60 primogems a day,this is a lot.

An expensive one, too.
The other gacha element is the artifact system, which unfortunately is less rewarding.
It can feel tiresome and unrewarding to spend your resin currency on something that might prove to be useless.
Resin sadly can’t be acquired through play directly, but it does automatically replenish gradually over time.
It can also be purchased via primogems, however, which you might acquire both through play and purchasing.
Thankfully, you might recycle these ruined artifacts to get some currency returned.
HoYoverse games are finally coming to Xbox.
There are other ways to progress your favorite characters too, beyond simply rolling.
It is an RPG after all.
The first of these is the raw leveling up of those characters, which boosts their attributes.
This increases your hit points, defense, and attack, to ensure your survivability.
The second area of upgrades is your weapon.
There are five main weapon types in Genshin; claymore, sword, polearm, bow, and catalyst.
Both the character and the weapon can be upgraded to a maximum of 90.
But, as well as the weapon has a base attack, it will have another stat (e.g.
elemental mastery) so choose wisely.
There is also the strongbox system, a way of recycling awful artifacts you don’t need.
Finally, there are talents.
This is the more direct way of making characters more powerful.
Towards the later levels, each talent requires special materials that drop in Trounce Domains.
you’re able to only get rewards from the bosses in there once per week.
And on top of that, youre not guaranteed the exact drop you need.
Each boss has three different rewards and it gives them away at complete random.
You could gain one of each or two of one that you dont need!
So expect to take time perfecting your characters.
HoYoverse has made very few changes to the character mechanics.
Those also give you primogems.
Its all part of the fun.
What does endgame content look like in Genshin Impact?
Both of these are combat events that the higher levels will be near-impossible to complete as a new player.
The game also has a sandbox-throw in mode, namely the Serenitea Pot.
