Genshin Impact is technically a mobile game, but there’s a lot more to it than that. More so than any other mobile game we’ve played, Genshin Impact is overflowing with content. There’s tons of depth to its systems/combat, a vast amount of things players can do at any one point, and it even has the developers asking fans for their input,

They can grind Domains, hunt down chests, play with friends, climb the Spiral Abyss, follow side/main quests, cook, mine, or just purely explore. It can be a lot at first, so here are some tips we’ve discovered 30+ Adventure Ranks into the game that we wish we knew way back at the start.

Updated on February 28, 2025 by Rhenn Taguiam: With Genshin Impact v5.4 featuring banners headlined by Furina and Wriothesley, fans who heated up their experienced with the fiery arrival of Mavuika will certainly appreciate this change of pace. As the event comes with activities such as the Invasive Fish Wrangler, Reel Ad-Venture, and Ley Line Overflow, Genshin Impact might want to brush up on their game knowledge and enjoy these offerings. However, fans looking for a more recent list of pro tips to play the game should look into ways of maximizing their available Wishes, focusing on upgrading their main team, and taking note of the game’s most ideal synergies.

If Investing In Gacha, Invest In The Welkin

The Blessing Of The Welkin Moon Can Help The Active Player

Given that Genshin Impact is a gacha game, it’s no surprise that the game will always find ways to incentivize players who prefer paying their way into Primogems – which in turn gives them access to more Wishes. However, for players who want to stay frugal, if they ever consider investing in Genshin Impact, they should probably just spend their extra USD 4.99 for the Blessing of the Welkin Moon.

For starters, they immediately get 300 Genesis Crystals and get 90 Primogems whenever they log in for the first time across the next 30 days. Players who plan on investing their time playing Genshin Impact – which means doing the Daily Commissions that earn them 60 Primogems – should get them as many as 150 Primogems everyday or 4,500 Primogems in a month. Players gunning for a character or want to invest in an upcoming character should start earning their Primogems with a Welkin on hand. That way, they maximize their time spent grinding for Primos.

Prepare Favorite Comps For The World Level Jump

Don’t Hold Off The Inevitable, Plan For It Instead

When players explore Teyvat in their Genshin Impact adventures, they might notice that advancing even one World Level can be too overwhelming for their team – especially if they’re not strong enough to contend with enemies. While a natural thing to do here is to just step back a World Level and leisurely earn Adventure Ranks, they will sometimes experience being booted up a World Level against their will. If they spent their Adventure Rank grind with an underleveled comp, then they’ll end up being yeeted to oblivion.

The remedy here is to take note of World Levels where difficulty spikes alongside rewards – usually World Levels 3 to 4, or 5 to 6. Since they have Ascension Quests that players need to accomplish, they can use this leeway to power-level their team. In order to properly prepare for the World Level advancement, players are advised to pre-farm all the Materials they need for characters to level up, level up their Talents, and Ascend. Likewise, if possible, players should look for the best builds of their current comps and identify their recommended Artifacts – of which players should also try to hunt them down and pre-farm their Materials. This way, players can face enemies with their characters at their best-possible builds.

*Save Up Resin For AR 45

The Real Grind For Builds Begins At AR 45

In speaking of building characters in Genshin Impact, players who have created new accounts shouldn’t worry about their level progression until they reach Adventure Rank 45. Moreover, they shouldn’t touch their Resins (Original or the reward-boosting Condensed variant) for hardcore Domains, Bosses, and Ley Lines until the said Adventure Rank.

This is because it’s only at Adventure Rank 45 that Level 90 Artifact Domains get unlocked, which then guarantee a 5-Star Artifact on completion. Not only that, the next Talent Book tier drops at AR 45, making it much easier and much faster to grind for books that level up not just mains but also support characters and even new characters. The latter is important, as it can get quite resource-intensive to Ascend characters given not just their Mora cost but also the overall grind to get their necessary resources.

Mind The Gacha Pity Factors

Certain Banners Are Better Left Untouched

Being a gacha title, it’s important for Genshin Impact players to remember that there’s a lot to consider when pulling for a character across the game’s different banners. Players should approach Wishes with these in mind:

• Mind the Pity: Always take note that the game gives a guaranteed 4-Star within every 10 pulls and a guaranteed 5-Star within every 80 to 90 pulls. Every other successful 5-Star is a guaranteed unit from the current banner. However, every other 5-Star pull is subjected to the 50-50 Rule – you either get a unit from the current banner or one from the Standard Banner.
• Prioritize Event Wishes: When redeeming rewards from Paimon’s Bargains, always prioritize the Event Wish to secure Wish slots for a particular banner. Never trade Stardust for the Standard Banner, especially when you can redeem more Intertwined Fates next month if you have spare Stardust on you.
• Duplicates give room for more Wishes: When you pull a duplicate of a 4-Star or even a 5-Star Character, you’re granted not just their Constellation Material but also Masterless Starglitter you can save to redeem for an Event Wish.
• Only use Intertwined Fates for the Event Wishes: While it’s tempting to use Primogems or exchange Stardust for Acquaint Fate, never gamble in this banner as there’s not a lot of useful units here, they never disappear from the rotation, and they are rewards when failing the 50-50 of the Premium Banner anyway! Only pull from this banner with the guaranteed Acquaint Fate you get from the Battle Pass (every 10th Level) and Character Ascension Rewards.

Dendro Shines Against Strong Abyss Shields

Cryo Works, Too, But Dendro Makes For Easy Kills

Players pursuing the Abyss in Genshin Impact know Hydro-toting Abyss Mages and Abyss Heralds are extremely time-consuming to kill due to their tough bubble shields. However, Dendro is the best Element to bring in a comp specifically for their destructive potential – simply pair a Dendro and a Pyro to trigger Burning consistently and burn through their shields in no time.

Dendro Supremacy in Genshin Impact may also be due to the fact that many of the game’s more underrated units are Dendro. Collei is an easy pick due to her accessibility, while Tighnari is a Standard Banner unit with a nifty search function, and Nahida is among the game’s best DPS regardless if she’s primary or not. Having at least one of them fully-kitted for an Abyss team should give players additional firepower against these annoying critters.

When In Doubt, Bring Hydro

Diverse Elemental Reactions Guarantee A Tool For Every Encounter

Players in love with their Genshin Impact gameplay know switcheroos between units are essential to keep combat momentum while also ensuring their rotations are well-recharged. However, players worrying about consistent reactions and producing subpar damage can easily bypass these woes with one factor: bring a Hydro character with them. Their presence will almost always add a dynamic twist to the battlefield courtesy of their compatibility with quite a lot of other Elements – making their attacks more potent due to consistent Reactions (Vaporize with Pyro, Hyperbloom and Burgeon with Dendro, Freeze with Cryo, Electro-Charged with Electro).

Not to mention, a lot of Hydro characters are known for their versatility. For instance, Neuvillette, Ayato and Childe are both some of the most powerful DPS in the game, while Barbara and Kokomi are ever-reliable healers. Furina and Nilou offer quite the balance between heals and attacks, while Yelan can break the game at Constellation 6 with her multi-faceted abilities.

Invest In The Favonius Set

Gamble In Odds That Can Be Controlled, Like A 4-Star Set

While fans want their 5-Star characters to hold some of the most awesome-looking 5-Star Weapons built specifically for their character, players who want to hyper-optimize their kits can’t go wrong with the Favonius Set. That’s right – despite the Favonius Set being 4-Star Weapons, their overall perks can benefit almost any character.

At its core, all Favonius Weapons boast Energy Recharge as their main attribute, ensuring its wielders can access their skills much faster. However, where the weapons shine is their Windfall Passive – where CRITs have a 60-100% Chance to generate Elemental Particles once every 12-6s, which in turn give them 6 Energy. What makes this weapon set a must-have are the ways Windfall can be activated, as it can be triggered per damaging hit and per enemy hit – making AOEs and multi-hits capable of proccing the bonus. Co-Op also grants the Elemental Particles for all team members.

Stress Not On The CRIT Ratios

At The End Of The Day, High ATK Matters

Hardcore fans probably already know that the best way to build a DPS unit in Genshin Impact gameplay would be boosting their CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG as high as possible, with the 1:2 Ratio positing that CRIT DMG twice the value of a Crit Rate (so for example, 50% Rate for 100% DMG) is the ideal build for DPS units. However, players shouldn’t stress themselves too much on this ratio, as at the end of the day any ratio between 1:1 and 1:4 will give close to ~90% damage of that damage anyway.

Instead, players should focus on “general” guidelines for boosting CRIT and overall ATK. On top of trying to gun for weapons that boost CRIT, players should find a Circlet Artifact that as a CRIT stat and find Artifacts with the opposing CRIT sub-stat as a supplement (so CRIT Rate Circlet and CRIT DMG Artifacts and vice versa). Characters such as Rosaria and Hu Tao can also boots the Crit Rate of party members with their Talents.

Build With The Strongbox, Not Just Domains

That 4-Stat Probability Becomes More Important Later On

When players begin building their ideal comps and favorite units, they will like want to grind through Domains because of their Artifact rewards. After all, there’s a 20% chance that a Domain will grant players their much-needed 4-stat Artifact and get their DPS that much-needed CRIT Rate item! However, players might want to consider going for Artifact Strongboxes in pursuit of their most ideal equipment.

As players can remember, Adventure Rank 45 players can access Mystic Offerings at the Crafting Bench, of which they can sacrifice three 5-Star Artifacts to get one Artifact Strongbox. This Strongbox will contain a Random Artifact from a chosen set. Interestingly enough, Artifact Strongboxes have a 33% chance of yielding a 4-stat Artifact, making it an ideal “second option” for players who have quite a lot of spare 5-Star Artifacts but no unit to use them.

Understand The Best Elemental Synergies

Take Switching Between Elements And Characters To The Next Level

Players are probably already familiar with how certain Genshin Impact characters work well off each other based on their Elements, which is why Elemental Synergies become a priority when setting up a party. However, players who want to take this to the next level need to take a step back and analyze not just the relationships of their characters’ Elements per se, but how their moveset also affect the playing field – specifically Elemental Mastery.

For instance, Raiden is not just among the best DPS in the game right now, but she especially excels when in a hypercarry team with Bennett and Kazuha. This isn’t just because Bennett can boost Raiden’s damage with his kit, but rather allow the likes of Kazuha to take advantage of Bennett’s Pyro self-infusion to add fire to his Ultimate which, if hitting an Electro-affected target courtesy of Raiden, can help Kazuha’s hits reach 9-11k damage.
