Gameplay

In Genshin Impact, players take the role of a traveler from another world who suddenly arrived in the lands of Teyvat, where seven nations constantly fight for power. Each nation ruled by an elemental deity, players can unlock over 20+ characters to form an active four character squad to solve puzzles, fight monsters, and scavenge resources.[9] Though the game is designed to be a single-player campaign, it contains several activities that can be done with other players. Once a player hits adventure rank 16, the multiplayer function is unlocked. [10]

Combat

Each character in the game can apply damage to enemies in three different ways: normal attack, elemental skill, and elemental burst. Normal attack is the main form of attack characters can use to inflict physical damage. The attack doesn’t require neither energy nor cooldown.[11] Elemental skill is an attack inflicting elemental damage and leaves the corresponding element on the enemy. Though elemental skills do not require energy, they have a cooldown period between each use.[12] Elemental burst generally is a character’s strongest skill. It requires energy to use and have a longer cooldown than elemental skills. Using an elemental burst grants the character a short time period of invincibility.[13]

Elements

Characters from Genshin Impact possess one of the seven natural elements: Pyro (fire), Geo (earth), Dendro (nature), Cryo (ice), Electro (lightning), Anemo (wind), and Hydro (water). An exception to one element rule being the traveler who currently can alternate between Anemo and Geo.[14] In combat, players can alternate between characters to combine elements to create elemental reactions that can boost character's damage. Each elemental reaction causing different effects, players are advised to take advantage of elemental reactions for an easier time in combat.
