Genshin Impact Tips and Tricks

Launching back in September of 2020, Genshin Impact has now become a very popular online action RPG with an average daily player count of about 3 million users on all platforms combined. It’s only natural that many of these players will be on the hunt for ways to make themselves better at the game.

While it is true that the best way to get better at any game is by playing more of it and getting some practice, there are always some tips and tricks that players can use. These tips and tricks can help players make progress much faster and easier. To help you along your way, here are our top tips and tricks for Genshin Impact.

Unlock the Map and the Teleporters

Being an action RPG, Genshin Impact has a large map with, tons of different locations to explore. This is necessary for action RPG games because it makes them feel much more immersive. However, some players find that covering large distances on these maps can sometimes feel tedious.

If you don't want to waste most of your time in Genshin Impact in traveling, then we recommend that you unlock most of the map and the teleporters as soon as possible. This will save you tons of time and you won't be stuck running around the whole map.

Mark the Shrines of Depths and the Oculi

The locations for the Oculi and the Shrines of Depths are amongst the most important in Genshin Impact. The Oculi are collectible orbs of elemental energy, while the Shrines of Depths are ancient structures where players can come and open the Luxurious Chest found inside. While they are super useful, they are limited in number, making them even more sought after.

Not knowing the exact locations of important places can be frustrating in an Action RPG like Genshin Impact. If you don't want to forget where the Oculi or the Shrines of Depths are located, then we recommend that you mark their locations. This will save you tons of time which you can use for making other useful progressions.

Try to Level up More Than One Single Character

Genshin Impact is not a game designed to play with only one character. There are several characters to choose from, and players generally benefit by using most of them. We say this because sooner or later you will come across enemies that are of the same element as your character. Hence, it is our recommendation that you make sure to level up more than one character.

Some Character Abilities Are Not For Combat Only

As we have already discussed, using more than one character can help you massively in combat trying to deal with enemies of different elements. However, leveling up more than one character will also help you outside of combat. This is because some of these abilities are required for certain things outside of combat, like solving puzzles and reaching hard-to-reach places.

Don’t Be Afraid Of CO-OP

Even for some of the best players in the game, there always comes a point where they find that defeating a certain enemy or completing a certain task is way too difficult. In these kinds of situations, it is always best to find a squad to complete those missions in CO-OP mode. There is no shame in asking for help. You may even make some new friends with this so it's worth a shot.

Learn To Cook

We are not suggesting to literally learn how to cook, we are talking about the in-game cooking feature which allows you to cook up a meal the helps you when your health is low. This proves to be really handy when you are new to the game and do not have access to the best healers of the game.

Shields Are Sometimes Better Than Healers

Healers are one of the best options, and a must-have on your squad for dealing with low health because well, it's literally their primary job. However, for certain situations, it is not the best way to deal with low health especially at later sections of the game. In these types of situations, your best bet becomes the shields. Shields don't necessarily help you give more health, rather they protect your health from getting too low.

Nothing is better than practice however, tips and tricks do help. The tips and tricks that we have mentioned here are carefully selected to give players the most benefit in making progress. We have also tested these individually and found great results. However, these tips are subject to change with an update for the game. Try them out for yourselves and find out which one is most beneficial for you.
