I hope you enjoyed the video! Let me know what YOU would do differently if you started Genshin over in 2024! Also thank you Cat Fantasy for sponsoring the video, check them out here www.youtube.com/@catfantasyen
Some advice I could give to players that just started: -Enjoy exploring as the game progresses. Don't be intimidated on how big the map is. Pick up everything, fight every enemy. You do this, you don't need to farm for materials (I never had to farm for resources with the exception of those locked via Resin). Enjoy the story and the game's scenery. -Don't be pressured on who's meta and CONTROL YOURSELF to pull on banners. Pick who you think is interesting to you AND if the gameplay is to your liking. If you saw a character trailer and you go "hmmm, maybe i should pull", DON'T. As long as you have doubts or you didn't convince yourself immediately, DON'T PULL. -If you're absolutely, strictly, free to play, treat the game as if you're using one character, meaning focus on building one character. The rest of the team can follow, if you're able. Suggesting to have a DPS, Healer, Utility DPS, Utility Combo/Buffer/Healer composition; this composition is Jack of all trades; you can explore, fight bosses, take some abyss levels, IMO. You will get Barbara and Xiangling as the game progress, so you just need to decide your other two. -If you've come to the point that you're grinding, for anything, STOP because you're treating the game as a chore. Unless you ABSOLUTELY need to grind like for your main character or you can tell that you will play for a long time, DON'T grind. You will burn out quick. -Don't be pressured in "missing events" because of the rewards. If you dont want to play the game, don't force yourself or you will also burn out quick. -Don't pull on the weapon banner (unless you have farmed for enough Primos for your main character.) There are a lot of plenty good unlockable 4star weapons in the game. -Don't search online for walkthroughs unless you're absolutely stuck. I see some people online sugggesting to not craft for treasure or oculu compass since you can find their locations online but personally, it feels like a "spoiler" and again, it goes back to looking like chore. Again, enjoy the game and its contents. -Fragile resins are hard to come by; use it at a later Adventure Rank (45 if i recall), and use it for your main character. If i may suggest for farming resources using resin like domains: craft for condensed resins AND don't use it. Recharge your world resin first. Once recharge, then you can take on domains at your leisure. Just do 5 battles each day (since you have max 5 condensed resin) and stop, and recharge your resin for another 5 condensed resin crafting the next day. The 5 resin farming a day is also a way to not burn you out. Hope this helps. I also take fairly long breaks from the game but I always come back when I'm ready to play again.
This is honestly the best advice for a new player imo. Genshin is way more enjoyable when you can explore and complete story quest at your own pace. As a f2p, saving your summons for when you REALLY want that character can make a world of difference as well.
i am now ar25 and i completely stuck and don't know how to upgrade and make my characters powerful. i still looking for domain because i litereally never go to any domain unless it's a quest. oh also i litereally never care about my artifact and maybe they are shitty now
@@Arz-ytx i understand that feeling, we all have that moment. As I stated, dont upgrade ALL your characters. Upgrade just your favorite first (which i assume is your main damage dealer) and then build a party that can support your main character. Who's your favorite right now? Perhaps I can help if you like? I assume Klee because of your name? Hehe
@@Nick-Dragrus yeah i wish i have Klee.. anyways for now my best and my favorite character are traveler. i still learn to use other characters but for now traveler is my best
I’m a new Genshin player. I ascended my AR too early so all of my characters were too weak to even fight off an abyss mage so I got stuck in the middle of the Liyue archon quest. A high AR Genshin player was willing to help me with it. She not only helped my with the quest I got stuck on, but she helped me with every quest and made SURE I got to Inazuma. She’d give all of the chests and rewards to me and she helped me build my characters. She’s not online anymore because she went to college but I hope she’s doing well.
Sounds like you're having fun anyway! You could lower your world level as totallynotpaul suggests, or you can simply join co-ops & matchmaking in domains to make some new pals! There are plenty of strong players who can help you out. When I first got WL8 I had to drop down to 7 because I didn't even have a competent main dps let alone decent artifact sets yet. (Beyond my bennetts noblesse oblige which had ok stats and was pretty meta at the time coincidentally) I did a bit of co-op domains and bided my time for a main dps banner that I liked to appear. At this point it's better to turn everything down a notch and be patient. Stockpiling resin/primogems & only doing the bare minimum and what you can have fun doing. The story is huge and until you have at least one competent team some fights can be quite rough. So being patient and only doing what you enjoy is very important to overcome the barrier and retain long-term satisfaction. Basically point is you just have some growing pains to get through and it sounds like you enjoy playing with others. As another said, people can't take anything in your world except world spawns. Like flowers and what-not. Everybody has to pay resin for their own boss & domain rewards individually. Your chests, oculus, sigils, etc are only yours. Hope you're still enjoying the game!
I agree with the event one, i hate missing out on events ESPECIALLY if they have important lore or character interactions in them, and it's way more fun to get to experience it for yourself instead of watching the story on RUclips. I wish we could get the chance to do old events, even without any rewards. I just want to experience the story and learn more about the lore 😭
Quick tip regarding pulling for 4 star characters: I will sometimes gamble a few pulls on a banner for an important 4* if I need them or a key constellation. What I do is I choose whichever 5* character I want the most out of my options, and I ask myself "If I got this character in 20 pulls, would I still be happy?" Like, I don't love Nilou, but if I had her I would build her and try to put a team together for her. If I get her in, say, 30 pulls, I'm happy. I don't consider that a waste. And if I get my first Kaveh along the way, then bonus. That being said, I only really do this if I'm facing a 50/50. I never gamble with my guarantee on a 5* I don't want. I'm a sometimes-Welkin player, so I can't afford to blow a guaranteed limited 5*. However, if I'm facing a 50/50, worst case is I get my 50/50 out of the way for only 20 or 30 pulls. Otherwise, just be patient. You'll probably get that 4* randomly either on the standard banner off free battlepass and sigil wishes, or randomly off a limited banner. I think I've actually gotten most of my first 4* pulls that way. Best of luck to everyone.
Yes this is what I do because some 4 stars are more valuable than many of the 5 stars in this game. If I did not have Kuki for example I would definitely pull on a Kuki banner if at least one of the 5 stars was pretty decent. If the banner has multiple 4 stars I might like some constellations on, then I might even go to soft pity. Anytime you get a 5 star before soft pity it is still a win. Avoid the weapon banner unless it is an incredible weapon banner where both the 5 and 4 stars are valuable. For a new player the Fav, Sacrificial, Widsith, Stringless, or Tulaytullah series of weapons are extremely valuable. I would also save Masterless Starglitter for specific characters like making sure you have a Bennett and Fishcl. I regret getting the shop weapons as I have only ever used them for maybe a month and never again for over 3 years. These days you can just use Lisa, Fischl, Dendro MC, and any anemo and you have a cracked team right there. Another mistake I regret was destroying the 3 star weapons you can get in the world like White Tassel and Skyrider Greatsword.
Yeah, the important thing to remember: You do not build pity while pulling on a banner. You only risk the pity you already have. Only after the fact, when you are done pulling, can you look upon the "built pity" consolation prize. Also, when you click to pull on a banner for a four star, and you wind up getting the five star, you did not accidentally get the five star. You purposely clicked on something with a chance of getting that five star, and you got it. It might not have been the result you wanted, but it wasn't an accident.
Exactly this, perfect It’s all about “would I be happy with the result if I get a 5 star going for 4 stars” That was the Nilou banner for me, I got her to C3, but still only got 3 Kirara pulls in the end (after about 540 pulls)- mind you I wanted to get as many Nilou cons as possible primarily and Kirara cons were a bonus
@@AzureDrag0n1 My account is 1 year old and basically only lack 3 chars of 4 stars : Thoma, Yunjin, and Xinyan. There are a lot of chars that can be used for something, even if it's just material compass for specific region. We also need to build them for Imaginarium Theater anyway (just level 70 with some talents, bare minimum weapons, and 2 piece set artifacts) so it's good for new players aiming 4 stars but again prioritize the Tier S first like Xingqiu, Fischl, etc. Destroying 3 star weapon is not actually a mistake BUT you need to make sure they are the common banner trash you can check on gacha history, not White Tassel indeed.
extremely solid advice - the ayato-cyno banner had an INCREDIBLE set of 4 stars (kirara, kuki, xiangling) but I knew that both 5 stars would never be used, so the banner was completely skipped charlotte, chevreuse, mika, C1 beidou and 2 heizou cons were obtained from standard while C0 kuki and C1 sucrose were from weapon banner, so everything can and will eventually make its way back when the time is right. stay strong to have as little regrets as possible so that the unexpected 4 star tastes extra sweet
Tip from a veteran, when pulling for limited character/with premium currency support five stars will add more value to your account compared to DPS character.
Yeah but if you need a dps and Arleady have good support you should go for dps (unless you don’t like the character and prefer the support bcs like doro said we should play the character we want)
@@viviDx._I agree, but right now you might wanna pull for supports more often because of the value they can give, you can put them in any team possible if you compare it for pulling a dps character
That is wrong. All supports have powerful 4* substitutes. Even nahida. Limited 5* dps are vastly more powerful than standard counterparts. The only exception is furina but mostly because she is dps and support in one. Furina and nahida are the only supports i would rank higher than dps and nahida only if you want to build hyperbloom or burgeon. Kokomi, Baizhu, Shenhe are luxury units. Xianyun is niche and requires a dps in the first place. Especially in the early game a good dps will carry you through everything. I had to use c0 noelle because the game didn't give me any dps until ar 45 or something. That wasn't fun and I had furina who was almost all my damage. Baizhu and kokomi are complete luxury pulls.
Some things i wish i did differently are: 1. Do your darn story quests! I ignored them for the longest time and now i have this huge backlog of them thats pretty overwhelming (also hangout events aswell ive only done like 3 of them 😭) 2. Dont be afraid of a challenge! I didnt finish the drgaonspine world quest until i was in inazuma because i just hated the sheer cold mechanic and the challenging mobs there, i wish i did it sooner 3. Dont pull on the weapon banner! Im strictly f2p and i've been playing for 1 year. I have never used a single pull on the weapon banner because its just a huge scam atp, focus on getting the characters u want first 4. Dont get caught up in going for constellations for 4 and 5 star characters! Spend ur pulls on getting new characters instead because over time you'll naturally get 4 star constellations from pulling on other banners 5. Dont neglect your weapon and talents! They by far have the biggest damage increase for the lowest resin investment! 6. Choose wisely which characters to level up to 90 first! Characters scaling with attack or hp dont get a significant damage increase from getting to 90 while characters like kuki or kazuha get as much as 30% damage increase. 7. Dont neglect weekly tasks like bounties or bosses, they have very valueable rewards! (Im very guilty of this ☠)
I got a C6 Faruzan from pulling for Wanderer. And it wasn’t until almost a year later that I built up Faruzan and pair her with Wanderer for that sweet, sweet Anemo SHRED.
@@kuyarence that advice is not only bc of the abyss. you should have two or three teams to counter resistances. example: if you have neuvifuri team it can clear almost anything easily, but hydro cube and oceanid exist too.
A small tip as someone who didn’t download until a few days before Sumeru’s release: it suck not knowing all the lore of previous limited events, but it’s not the end of the world. At some point, they’re probably going to be brought up again or you can just watch a RUclipsr play through them. I was so stressed because I didn’t know certain things when I was playing, and I eventually stopped playing for a little cause I just didn’t like the fact I was missing out on the lore (I’m a lore player lol). Don’t take missing out on limited events so hard, you’ll learn what happened eventually, especially if you go out of your way to.
People always say don't wish on the Standard Banner, but I prefer it. I like to only use characters in game that I've met in story, so some new 5 Star from Natlan is kinda worthless to me. Plus, all the 4-Stars have been plenty satisfying for just running around the world and doing stuff, or spending resin.
The reason why people say that is because anything on that banner can be obtain losing 50/50 on limited ones, and its not like you get only Natlan, Kazuha and Raiden are from Inazuma ( just next region after Liyue )
watch the "demo" of the characters and see if any of them catch your eye. Once you know the chars you like, you can then plan when are they expected to appear in a banner and save primos in advance. Don't let people tell you "this character is not meta", as every single character in genshin is "usable" as long as you put the investment and effort into those characters.
For oculi, the best not tiring way is to get them as you go and find the rest with the craftable locator. Using the interactive map for that can be painful since it's not in sync with your progress so it will lead you to empty spots and there are loads of them.
What I do is explore the map freely, and when I stumble upon an oculi, I just mark the location on my map (not the interactive one, the in-game map). Then, when my regular exploration is over - I turn to the interactive map just to find the oculi I'm missing, referring to the marks on my in-game map for the ones I've already found. I find this the best for myself, because I'm not gimping my exploration experience, and when I'm done there are just a few oculi left so going back with the interactive map is pretty quick. The only problem is the limited amount of marks you can do on the in-game map. But new regions come in parts, so you don't get all the oculi in a single patch so it's usually fine.
@@Mismatch- that does do the trick but marking every single oculus you pick is just not necessary when the locator exists, you can just take everything you see and locate the rest. Then if you really want to use that interactive map you can use it with the locator to directly pin point the position of the oculus in the small radius the locator indicated, how does that sound
I always hear people insist on using the interactive map and marking down everything, and I get why that would be preferably for some people. I was the same way a while back because I never wanted to miss anything. But now I'd have to disagree as to its importance. At least for me personally, constantly marking down and tracking things makes exploration feel like a chore and it takes me out of the game. Mark down all the oculi for Mondstadt and Liyue, absolutely, because they're important for stamina. But past that, if you're someone who delights in immersive exploration and stumbling across things, I'd argue you'd be better off not using the interactive map. I use it almost exclusively for farming routes nowadays and I enjoy exploration a lot more. Not only that, but it gives actual importance to the treasure compasses and oculi resonance stones which, if you enjoy traveling and farming for resources in the open world like I do, gives you more to look for and collect to craft them. Ultimately, you're given tools within the game itself to find almost everything. Realizing that and embracing it has made me love exploration and even pushed me to upgrade my reputation levels more than ever.
I don't understand why the exception to your rule is the Oculi - effectively the only resource in the game that Genshin flat out tells you where it is by using the relevant item.
Personally i'd also use it for puzzle chests that doesn't show up from compasses. There are a few cryptic chests that u probably wouldn't think of doing the thing u need to for said chests. A great example is the chest u get for breaking the pots that doesn't glow wen using elemental sight
The issue I find with chests is that ones the gizmos don't show... the ones that get spawned by things. And it sucks when you've gotten 90% of the chests, and now you have to explore step by step, checking each one, to try and find the missing ones. That said, I don't use the interactive map. I don't like having to mark stuff, it not really showing the locations well, that sort of thing. I use video guides on youtube.
I'm a newer player (ar 50, started at the very end of 4.6), I only use the map if I NEED something - like one missing oculi, a couple precious chests for the primos/sigils, one last flower, etc.
I'd say do the Dragonspine quests as soon as possible (world level 0), especially a particular time battle trial at the bottom of the mountain that unlocks the world quest to get to the top of the mountain... Bloodyhell that trial still gives me nightmares
Id actually say dont do it as early as possible.I remember I tried to do it when i was...around ar 16? i dont remember the exact ar but it was around that point and i failed.miserably. I think you need to have your characters a little bit built first, and understand the game mechanics ect. If you want to get it over with, atleast get someone to help you with it in coop.Dragonspine is a really annoying location and as someone who has it maxxed, the annoyance can make it HARD sometimes.
@@riomadar what I somewhat mean is, do it early on in the game before the first world level change, and have your characters above lvl 30 so you still have a chance to beat some of the annoying sections of Dragonspine.
I started genshin in 2021. Recently I have had problems getting into that account and so I made a new one about 3 months ago. I am currently draining every single primo from every region. I do not go to a new region UNTIL everything is maxed. Including exploration, quests, and my reputation rank. I am sitting at AR 50, with exploration in only Liyue and Mondstadt. I am working on clearing the newer place of Liyue and then I will move to Inazuma. I say my strategy is working quite well.
I admire your dedication, initially I wanted to go on about it in the same way, but then I get carried away, unlock maps and explore stuff that’s literally jumping into my face
I would start one new account even now, if it was possible to skip all dialogs (and the cutscenes too, if I want) . I'd just need an option "no dialog at all" somewhere. That's the main things that keep me away from doing it all again: having to click trough a lot of dialog I already red it's a really big waste of time.
I did so many of these things correctly back when I started at 3.7 on Alhaitham rerun banner. I pulled for him at the time bc I was thinking I should go for characters that are known to be good and I got it. I built characters around him first but at the same time I was trying to build a second team which was ok cuz there was a lot of contents before to get exp mora and primos from it was just tiring. I would find myself feeling burnt out when I should have been playing for fun but I guess thats just me haha. Building around Al was a good decision for me as I progress through the game I realized how important some 4 stars are compare to what I initially thought. What I wish I did do or knew was how massive the value some 4star characters has and some 3&4 star weapons are really good not just for newer accs. Also ER matters, I was only thinking of getting cr and cdmg but getting the right amount of ER for some characters was a game changer for me.
For the love of Barbatos, new players: PLEASE, DON'T DO THINGS JUST BECAUSE OTHER SAUD SO!! If you hear X people hates Venti,hut you like him then don't care about it. Don't hate on characters just because other do,and vice versa, don't love them just because others do. And don't listen to others if they bully you,if you like playing amber and people say she's trash and you are,so what? They're the ones tha are thras for bullying you,and don't stop playing her just because of that comment. After all, likes are for satisfying yourself,not others. Love yourself and respect others.
@@vel5785 I just used both of them together in Imaginarium Theater, and Venti was on field just as much as Kazuha, and more use at grouping enemies because his burst lasts longer. Also, I have a permanent Venti team in my party setup with Fischl, Yoimiya and Kokomi, because abyss floor 12 is like 0.01% of the game.
That's why I check multiple videos, to have an idea of who to look out for. I figured out for myself that Amber isn't horrible but get I that she's not ideal for fast combat. But she is great for beginners. Bunny helped a lot when facing scary opponents. I also learned about how Lisa is usually support. I get why. But she became my DPS as soon as I got Xiangling. I really enjoy overload.
Everything I was reading said Amber was a weak character and not worth anything, but I enjoyed playing her and decided to "waste" my time and resources on her. Once I decided that, I stumbled across a bunch of videos and commentary saying how under-appreciated Amber was. :)
I have a good tip for collecting the Oculus' for each area! As you're running around and you come across one as soon as you pick it up open up your map put a marker on it and tag it "found". Then at some point when you have time you can go to the interactive map and just mark off all the ones that you've already gotten. It's so much easier than doing it the other way around and using the interactive map to mark them all in the game in the first place imo.
if i could start again i would never pull on banners with inazuma charakters until i unlocked inazuma its like getting a new toy but be told you have to wait till christmas to play with it
I'm glad he thinks about these things and also for the money spending part, he didn't just use all of that money for his acct, he used it to help the community with the giveaways like he mentioned. Also 100% enjoyed the video :)
the first thing I did in genshin was walk around the entire world (except inazuma because i had no idea how to go there yet) and unlocked every statue i could to check out the world. doing that made me realise how huge the world is and how much i have to actually explore so i was instantly hooked
I'm just starting a new account because my main is pretty much done, and I'd recommend just to pull whoever you want (unless you're planning on playing meta), that's what I did on my main and, even if I don't have the best characters, I have the ones I enjoy the most. And also, not rushing is very important - taking breaks, and just doing whatever you feel like doing that day (exploring, doing quests or just log in to do dailies/events) and, even if you don't want to play for a week or a month or for as long as you want, that's completely fine. And well, that's pretty much it 💓 Oh, and also, remember to try and do the weekly comissions so you get the rank higher. I was ar55 on my main and I had completely forgotten about those. I had to work a bit to get to level 10's as I had still to do the 4 regions available at that time.
One thing for the eager new players to take note of is: ignore the abyss, or at least the lower floors. The lower floors are better for more seasoned accounts, so just concentrate on building a party that’s strong enough for the overworld first. Build your supports (get an archer). Build a 4 star DPS to start with. Another thing: really restrict your pacing by going with commission count and the bp count - if you max out the daily commission count, then stop there for the day. I plan out my daily genshin stuff based on what I can do for the bp. (The second tip might be more applicable to older players tho who try not to get burned out but maybe newer players wanna try this too)
At least for spiral i'd at least attempt it til floor 4. But just don't go crazy and feel like u have to win. Floor 4 mainly bc thats wen freebie charas aren't given out afterwards
The only reason I haven't built any archers is because I absolutely suck at aiming and shooting in any sort of timely manner without the mobs interrupting me. Bow characters are a style of play that I have never been able to master.
refine your weapons/artifacts, just do it, youll do zero dmg if you dont its not a waste, you cannot farm good artifacts for months anyway char levels matter less, most of the stats are from weapons and gear
As a new player that just got to AR40, the only time i use the interactive map is when im almost getting to level 10 on a statue, so i blindly explore the map whenever i see something glowing and i think it makes the game more fun. Got all of those anemoculus and almost all of those geoculus. Then im good to go to Inazuma.
When starting out-and in my case, since starting Genshin over-I would recommend is your first team comp(s): 1) has a decent DPS. (Yanfei, Chongyun, Heizou and Noelle are all great 4 star DPS characters that are cost effective and powerful when built properly and synergize with the support characters you have also built) 2) supports that help with combinations of elemental reactions, shielding, healing, and/or faster map traversal. The supports I personally built are Barbara (even though I HATE playing her. She’s my necessary evil 😢), Fischl (don’t care for, but necessary), and Layla (awesome since I love shields, and discovered double cryo crit rate increase teams with her), and Faruzan, (Anemo SHRED). I have Bennet, Xiangling, and Xingqiu waiting in the wings in need of better build investment. 3) and at least one character that easily mines ores. Those would be all claymore characters, 4 star Ningguang (plus she can show ore locations on mini-map), and 5 star Zhongli. Yanfei has served me well as a DPS that I can do elemental reactions with other key 4 star support characters like Barbara, Dendro Traveler, and Fischl (that was my team comp when Sumeru came out. Could use that team everywhere in Sumeru). I still play with essentially two different team builds, with some characters getting left behind as a few new ones came in. Noelle got left behind for Xiao when I got him. Now Xiao is left behind-but still well built-for Wanderer (who I’ve name Ren).
For 2:50, some players tend to prefer to not have another app/tracker open whenever playing games. If you are one of them, I would still suggest to pin your collected oculuses (or any other notable collectible) using the in-game map so that once you reach a point that you want to 100% your statues/trees/etc., you can just open up the interactive map once then you can reflect your pins there. That is personally what I do since I do like finding things naturally while I explore. It's only when I want to 100% things would I use the interactive map to find the few ones that I missed.
Guys. I played on Kazuha’s last banner and got him after I lost the 50/50 on Nuev’s to Jean, and for the anniversary I picked up Moan… don’t ask why I chose Mona… My favourite character in the game is Chevreuse because she has a damn gun… I took a bunch of time since then What the hell are some teams that I can use for them, I think I have a fair amount of 4*. I have Benett C2, Oronon, Ningaung C1, Chevy, Kujou Sara, Xingqiu C1, Gaming, Yanfei C2, Yun Jin C2, Noelle C1, Freminet C1, Collei, Candace C1, Xinyan C1 and obviously all the characters you get for free in the story. Right now Kazhuha is smoking everything though.
3:49 when I first downloaded genshin I didn't do any world quests at all but one time raiden had her banner and I really wanted her so I decided to do random world quests and the first quest that I decided to do was the Aranara quest. I sat down doing that shit for to weeks straight and couldn't finish and now it's left incomplete and I'm terrified to do any other world quests
I kinda wish there was a way to replay the story without needing to make a new account. I want to reexperience everything. It pulls on your heart strings a bit. Its such a good time.
Bro I've pulled so much on the standard banner as a new player then I went to yt to check on some tips and stuff only to find out people consider it an abomination to spend primos on the standard banner
There were so many good points that I agree with. I will say however sometimes with story the only reason I want to get it done a little quick is to avoid spoilers. I try to mute everything and not watch certain creators till I'm done but somehow I've still managed to have the story spoiled for me 😢.
@@keylessbacon It always saddens me to hear this it's such a let down when it happens. You were still two nations away :( I hope you can still enjoy Fontaine when you get there.
The point about leveling up your 4* and supports needs to be said more. I cannot emphasize enough how much impact having a fully realized Bennet and Shinobu is to an account. Bennet's value is easy enough to see but after I built Shinobu, it's like I unlocked an entirely different part of the game when using her with dendro teams. The same goes for other 4* in other elements like Rosaria for budget freeze teams and Sucrose for those that don't have Venti or Kazuha. As a side note, I even built an only 4 star team with Heizou, Thoma, Xinqiu, and Shinobu so I could play the Avatar in the game. There's a lot you can do to make the game fun to play without needing to break the bank so don't sleep on your 4 stars people.
I have an addictive personality. I get super locked on things I gain interest in and start to obsess and over do things. HOWEVER, if there’s one thing I’m proud of myself for, is that a refuse to become addicted to gambling. I may be willing to spend SOME money on things like I have with ZZZ that I just started a few weeks ago, but I’m much pickier on what I feel is actually worth spending money on which usually isn’t much. This was a good video to started. I’m finally gonna try this game out tomorrow and try to take it easy and enjoy a more casual pace if I really like it. The only thing I’m stressed about is literally choosing between the male and female main character lol. Even if I’m told it’s not a big deal, it’s important to me that I’m confident and don’t regret it. I had to go through the trouble of restarting my ZZZ account on PS5 because I wanted to switch to Wise.
@@traplegend5065 HSR has gotten from "oh my god, this is my MAIN gachagame" in a few patches from 1.4 onwards to "nah, just a sidegame. Only the events and main-story is fun, the endgame is powercreep fiesta". Very sad to see.
HSR mehr you regret spending money on a character after just two patches where in Genshin getting a character you really like will still feel amazing years later
Honestly its the opposite for me, idk why even though ik hsr respects my time much more than genshin does. Still, maybe that's cuz it's been exactly half a year since I joined hsr as of writing this. And ive been playing genshin for 3+ years, so maybe i just like restarting genshin cuz it brings back nostalgia from when I actually enjoyed the game and had fun (and wasn't burntout)
as an f2p, this is actually untrue/ semi true and here is why (dont follow if you are new/dont yet have 3 seperate abyss clearing teams): 1) when you play in the long term, you will gather a lot of characters and only piling up their cons will not be as effective because limited 5* cons are rare. 2) there is only so much optimization you can do with artifactmaxxing (i made that term up) 3) a lot of potential is usually locked up behind weapon banners 4) its 2 50/50's is not that bad because you see, if you get a standard weapon you will be guarenteed to get a limited weapon later, which you can make the most out of in weapon banners with great weapons, such as the hutao/neuvi banner, where getting either of their weapons is quite the upgrade to almost all characters 5) a few characters like alhaitham, cyno, emilie, itto, baizhu etc value c0r1 more compared to their c1 6) a few weapons make great value: freedom sworn, elegy's end, wolf gravestone, sobp are great for buffing your team whereas lofi,homa, tome, scarlet sands staff, aqua and mistsplitter make great dps (and by that i mean they are the only more better universal 5* options if they arent these then dont bother pulling) 7) fashion impact 8) its soft pity starts much faster and the hard pity is 80 no im not trolling, having 2 staves of homa and 2 freedom sworns and a lofi (i also have the wanderer bell but havent gotten a character to use it yet) really makes the spiral abyss easier to beat and i gathered them overtime. the only bad pulls i got from the weapon banner were 2 aquila favonia and a skyward atlas but it works a charm on bennet so its alright, and yae miko's 2nd best in slot if skyward (hoyo pls give me wgs) Edit: fate points are just a failsafe if you are actually trying to get the only 5* at once and "right here right now emerge" instead of using your fates on it slowly only on good weapon banners, the 50/50 loss carries over but if you win the 50/50 on a limited weapon it means you won and case closed and the slim chance that you "win" the limited weapon you dont want twice, it can help you. needless to say if you have gambling addiction then seek professional help
@@SkeletonIsNoob yeah what youre saying is true but the banner could be better its a not bad not great situationa, also i feel like loosing a 50/50 on weapon stings much more
good tip: save all your keys for opening the shrine of dephts until you are at world lv 9 and then open them up for better rewards then you would get if you do it at world lv 1
I just started a little over a month ago. Im completely hooked. Just finished inazuma archon quest it was amazing. Got the welkin and the battle pass. Used alot of my early wishes on Kazuha banner because i just love the samurai aesthetic and he is my favorite character so far. Thanks so much for this video it was super informative. Love your channel and your community vibe. Thanks for all you do.
If I could restart Genshin again, I would read the rules and study the game's functions. I was so clueless for the first few months one year ago. I thought it was like Devil May Cry since in those games, you can power through without upgrades. I was super wrong.
@@tomekk2091 I made it to the Tartaglia boss battle and learned I wasn't strong enough. I proceeded to upgrade the characters and then learned about weapon and talent upgrades. It took a lot of torture and one broken TV for me to understand.
Honestly I think the clueless period is precious, you can’t really get back the novelty of the game when you break it down into guides Knowing how to stay alive and deal damage is good, pacing yourself is important
Yup, that's why i only buy welkin because i enjoy the story, i need game like this so i can relaxing from my work and stop smoking, better spend money for welkin each month then smoking😊
I started playing few months after genshin was released and I watched this video as fun video to see what I did "wrong"/differently then perfect start would be and damn. From your list I did everything "right". I only bought one welkin ever, I picked up everything and used interactive map from the start and I still am using it and I did a lot of quests. Not all but man a lot. Funny thing is that only about 6 months ago I was able to finish floor 12 in abyss for first time and I never got all stars yet. But that floor 12 win was glorious....
If I could replay the game, I wouldn’t do the story as quickly as I did. Started in 4.3 and got to Fontaine in a couple days. Wish I took my time with it instead. It wasn’t because I needed to catch up but because I enjoyed the game too much 😂
The best way to enjoy is to do the Archon quests in a region and after that finish the major world+story quests of that region before going to the next one. I always followed this and trust me it is rewarding. It is a far more better approach compared to doing the archon quests of all regions 1st then moving onto the world quests. You will get mad if you binge play all those voiceless world quests later. 😅
Yes. Me planning Qiqi+Dehya melt team is also meta, because it's my meta. Despite both of them being the butt of all jokes in Genshin community. Build whatever you like, threat the game as a playground, not a second job/school. Burning YaoYao team can and should be your meta, because ultimately the meta is having fun.
I rushed to Adventure rank 32 and loved every minute. Made it to inuzama and now taking my time to explore the map and just have fun. My main team is Sucrose, Kaeya, Bedou, and Mona. Kaeya and Mona are roational with Xiangling and Barbara until i get a xiaxou or whoever that water 4* is. Mona is actually really fun with her decoy, sucrose ability to group onto decoy, Kaeya to freeze, Bedou to clean up. Pretty fun little rotation with alot of elemental procs and sucrose swirl shenanigans. The game is alot of fun especially exploring and figuring out the puzzles for chests.
As an on and off player (2021-2022 and late 2023 till now) i absolutely agree with the rerun and not waisting your primos! especially if you are f2p. other than that: Anemo traveller! I mained them up until december 2023 and let me tell you, it is worth it. Anemo has great reactions and especially the travellers ult is great for big crowds, and also useful against many bosses for infusion of anemo and other elements. Also: don't forget to level up the talents!! I didn't know it was a thing for the first years since i never read up on or watched things, but it definetly made my life easier when the characters' damage output was on par with my world level :/. Another good one is weapon refinement! Didn't figure that out until this year shame on me haha. Glad to have gotte more into the community nowadays, i still learn something new with every google search, stream or video or simply by reading posts on the community platforms. Enjoy everyone!!
I admit, i dont watch alot of genshin Content on RUclips, but i think this is the first time i heard an experienced player say just pull for you want and dont play the meta if you dont want so. Thats pretty refreshing 😅
@@yingyau708 you don't lose anything because you can't reset your account. You either start a new account with a new email or you switch servers on your same account.
@@domin8or029 ohaaa! I don‘t know WHAT it is, but I mixed it up with the one that plays at the end of the „Lil‘ buddy“ Natlan teaser! 😅 Because of the pan pipes. You know what I mean?!
Omg yaaaassssssss on the world quest. I’ve recently just slowed down and went back to start doing stuff. I was like why am I in a rush, let’s enjoy this. So I’ve been completing the world quest I started and never finished.
When picking up animocules etc, if u dont want to use interactive map from the start, you can pin their location on ingame map as you collect them and later mark them on interactive map.
"Never wish for 4 stars". That's at the same time the most common, and the most stupid take people make on genshin. You said it yourself : pull characters you like. 5 stars are absolutely not necessary in that game. If you agree that pulling for meta is stupid, then telling that 5 stars are always a priority over 4 stars is a nonsense.
Umm no, “never wish for 4 stars” is not a stupid advice. It’s not that 4 stars aren’t good or anything, it’s that 4 stars characters are never guaranteed, unlike the limited 5 stars which has a pity guarantee, 4 stars also as a pity guarantee but it was split into 3 evenly, you only has 33% chance of getting 4 stars you wishes. I’ve seen people going through to get C2 on a 5 stars until they got the 4 stars they wanted.
@@tomjordan4123 If your favourite character is a 4 star, you can't be like "uuuh I won't pull for him/her cause I don't like the 5 stars of his/her banner" That makes no sense. Yes you can be unlucky. Yes you have to know this is risky and that it can be difficult to have 5 stars on next banners. But if you like it, go for it. That's all
@@robinm7024 that is not what he meant by “wish for it” I think this is already go without saying obviously , if anyone like a character that they see in a banner, then you go for it. If THAT is what you meant by the context of “wish for it” then it is no different to a 5 stars, pull whoever you like, duh. But the difference is that 4 stars don’t have the hard guarantee, and spending money to specifically aim to wish for a 4 stars can get MORE expensive than a 5 stars characters. That’s what he meant for “never wish” for a 4 stars. Please learn to read the context before calling anyone stupid for giving advice, and it’s ACTUALLY a good advice no less.
@@tomjordan4123 I call the opinion stupid, not the people. If I have to learn to read context, I guess you're struggling with just reading. + If you need to use context to change the litteral meaning of what you're saying, just use differents words from the beggining.
I love the game. It's beautiful, the characters and the lore is so detailed and interesting, and as a person who always enjoyed role-playing in deep depth containing lore, I rlly wanted to start playing genshin bc I really enjoyed how the story is so far. But one major problem... I have no idea how to decided on good artifacts, and panic when fighting a darn hillicurls...... Yeahhhh I might needa work on NOT getting scard of every enemy I see....
Every new area I tell myself I’ll use the interactive map and I always get lazy. But later on when I’m at like 70-80% exploration and I can’t find chests/oculi I’m always kicking myself
i started playing when inazuma was a new thing and the game already felt so huge, cant imagine starting now, but honestly if i forget everything about it id play it again, its really good
14:10 Yup, learned that the hard way! I wanted Razor, after 40 pulls I ended up with a Yelan and a C4 Yanfei, so not a bad result, but I still wanted Razor! And then I learned I could buy him from the shop at some point anyway!
My biggest tip is don’t focus on the meta. The meta is mostly for players who grind the abyss or the new witch fighting trial thing or if you have a really rich account to begin with. If you just started, your characters will suck it’s meant to suck and you can’t compare yourself to day 1 or paying players. And even at higher AR, don’t be pressured to pull for allegedly strong characters. Most characters are pretty strong if built right and you don’t have to be doing 500k dmg if you’re just a casual exploration or story focused player. Just pull for who you like, build a team of characters you like and you’ll do fine.
It is sure much more fun when you can't use primos on one character because you're saving for someone who MIGHT come 2 patches later. Also, a tip from someone who started over. Abyss can be hard for new players even on lower levels, but having Xiangling is a blessing. The moment you see her on a banner, you pull and hope that you get her. There is this whole hysteria about her being on way too many banners, but than again new players always come and they might just need her to be able to do certain challenges.
One thing I like to tell myself a lot is, yes, there are characters that are significantly better than others but if you put time into building a character and giving them a good team comp you can make most characters pretty good. Yes, there are better options but a lot of times you don't have them available.
Im playing for a month now, I love the overload reaction, and now im learning about aggravate. Its fun that the two teams you displayed on the beggining was that
I'll add for someone that start, it's probably better to build a team of 5-6 characters with differents elements that correspond to your START AREA (so mondstadt/liyue and maybe inazuma). The traveler can switch with anemo and geo at the start so a focus on other elements is a good option (plant not being much available at start area). once you have your team of 5 focus on this one only and switch of elements according to bosses or needs. Only then you can start leveling other characters and I'll prob advice not more that 1 other every months(depend on how much you play) I'm not an end game player yet but my only regret at the start was to focus on only 4 charaters that couldn't be changed. Challenge is good but being able to use only 2 of them for some boss fights was hard and the more I progressed the more I noticed I needed different team compositions
As someone who did in fact start Genshin a little over 4 weeks ago, I can confirm that all the tips are solid and also conclusions that I came to naturally. The only artifact farming I did before 45 was for Mualani and Kachina's artifact sets at around 44. I wish I didn't spend primos on Mualani/Kazuha's weapon banner though because I got Kazuha's sword but I wanted Mualani's ball and now I'm constantly torn between going all the way for it before the pity gets wasted in a week or so.
I am a day one player, but I took a year long break during a really tough time in my life. I'm so glad I stepped away from the game.. I was majorly burnt out from playing so often, felt like the time I put in was not rewarded (crappy artifact RNG mostly, ngl). I left when Sumeru was released and came back for Neuvillette (lost my 50/50 to Mona, what a welcome back lolol). My love for the game is back to what it was when I started all those years ago. Now, I have a friend who is just starting the game. Hearing his experiences of the quests that I forgot about makes me wish I could experience it all again for the first time. But at the very least, I get to experience the new regions, have plenty more quests to fall in love with. I'm looking forward to more years with this game.
brooo!! Same!! i have too many side quests and now i'm too scared to start them, like i know they are not that long but some of them are soo long i literally just give up and started doing hangout events instead lol
8:16 really appreciate what you said there... I'm playing since 2.0 and now I've really come to realise that chasing meta is dumb just get the character you like hahah
I haven't spent a dime in the year and change I've played. Caught up on the story slowly, because life and other interests, really was only playing as a way to spend time with a long-distance friend. But then I got through Fontaine (right around the year mark after I started), I maxed out my world level, and FINALLY it all clicked. Furina is my baby, and more and more characters I waited to build are hitting level 90 with so much less effort. I got through the main story almost entirely with Traveler, Kaeya, Lisa, and Barbara at level 80. Now my main team is Fischl, Furina, Xiangling, Bennet. But now I have enough leveled characters to create quite a few different teams, especially just for overworld stuff (just finished getting Xinqui to 90). I'm really glad I had my friend to give me advice, because this game would have been a huge no with how overwhelming it can be going in blind. I don't play any of the other games in this genre, so it was a new experience.
My advice: As soon as you can turn your world level down, do. Just one level. Do main quests and world quests until you are blocked by your AR before doing the Adventure Rank tier quests. There's so much in this game if you are focuses on min/maxing it you will miss out. So don't stress yourself. I'm F2P and I wish on both the banners (though I only use my primogems on limited banners) because I get more whatever-the-heck-it-is (the middle redeem option) than I can spend on the 5 wishes of each type we are limited to a month. Yeah, don't spend your primogems unless you are excited about the 5-star on the banner, but also...you'll get more primogems. Search for redeem codes. I have a lot of great characters (building an A team and a B team up fully) and I have spent ZERO.
I hope you enjoyed the video! Let me know what YOU would do differently if you started Genshin over in 2024! Also thank you Cat Fantasy for sponsoring the video, check them out here www.youtube.com/@catfantasyen
If I were to do something differently I would most definitely not buy so much stuff and I would most definitely do the quests and have fun
I would honest not play genshin since for a long time I download genshin during inazuma but I never find time to play genshin not until navia banner
i have just started playing genshin in 2024, 74 days and ar 50 but have 0 5star characters
i dont even have two teams but still got to 8th floor all nine star

Some advice I could give to players that just started:
-Enjoy exploring as the game progresses. Don't be intimidated on how big the map is. Pick up everything, fight every enemy. You do this, you don't need to farm for materials (I never had to farm for resources with the exception of those locked via Resin). Enjoy the story and the game's scenery.
-Don't be pressured on who's meta and CONTROL YOURSELF to pull on banners. Pick who you think is interesting to you AND if the gameplay is to your liking. If you saw a character trailer and you go "hmmm, maybe i should pull", DON'T. As long as you have doubts or you didn't convince yourself immediately, DON'T PULL.
-If you're absolutely, strictly, free to play, treat the game as if you're using one character, meaning focus on building one character. The rest of the team can follow, if you're able. Suggesting to have a DPS, Healer, Utility DPS, Utility Combo/Buffer/Healer composition; this composition is Jack of all trades; you can explore, fight bosses, take some abyss levels, IMO. You will get Barbara and Xiangling as the game progress, so you just need to decide your other two.
-If you've come to the point that you're grinding, for anything, STOP because you're treating the game as a chore. Unless you ABSOLUTELY need to grind like for your main character or you can tell that you will play for a long time, DON'T grind. You will burn out quick.
-Don't be pressured in "missing events" because of the rewards. If you dont want to play the game, don't force yourself or you will also burn out quick.
-Don't pull on the weapon banner (unless you have farmed for enough Primos for your main character.) There are a lot of plenty good unlockable 4star weapons in the game.
-Don't search online for walkthroughs unless you're absolutely stuck. I see some people online sugggesting to not craft for treasure or oculu compass since you can find their locations online but personally, it feels like a "spoiler" and again, it goes back to looking like chore. Again, enjoy the game and its contents.
-Fragile resins are hard to come by; use it at a later Adventure Rank (45 if i recall), and use it for your main character. If i may suggest for farming resources using resin like domains: craft for condensed resins AND don't use it. Recharge your world resin first. Once recharge, then you can take on domains at your leisure. Just do 5 battles each day (since you have max 5 condensed resin) and stop, and recharge your resin for another 5 condensed resin crafting the next day. The 5 resin farming a day is also a way to not burn you out.
Hope this helps. I also take fairly long breaks from the game but I always come back when I'm ready to play again.
This is honestly the best advice for a new player imo. Genshin is way more enjoyable when you can explore and complete story quest at your own pace. As a f2p, saving your summons for when you REALLY want that character can make a world of difference as well.
i am now ar25 and i completely stuck and don't know how to upgrade and make my characters powerful. i still looking for domain because i litereally never go to any domain unless it's a quest. oh also i litereally never care about my artifact and maybe they are shitty now
@@Arz-ytx i understand that feeling, we all have that moment.
As I stated, dont upgrade ALL your characters. Upgrade just your favorite first (which i assume is your main damage dealer) and then build a party that can support your main character.
Who's your favorite right now? Perhaps I can help if you like? I assume Klee because of your name? Hehe
@@Nick-Dragrus yeah i wish i have Klee.. anyways for now my best and my favorite character are traveler. i still learn to use other characters but for now traveler is my best
holy moly a great news: my uncle gave me his old account and last played when sumeru is still new. Ar54 and Zhongli main maybe?
I’m a new Genshin player. I ascended my AR too early so all of my characters were too weak to even fight off an abyss mage so I got stuck in the middle of the Liyue archon quest. A high AR Genshin player was willing to help me with it. She not only helped my with the quest I got stuck on, but she helped me with every quest and made SURE I got to Inazuma. She’d give all of the chests and rewards to me and she helped me build my characters. She’s not online anymore because she went to college but I hope she’s doing well.
You can always lower it back down
She can't give you the chests and rewards; if it's in your world, she can't take them. That's how the game is designed. The chests are yours.
You can just lower your world level lol.
@@totallynotpaul6211That’s what I said too! Why did my comment disappear?
Sounds like you're having fun anyway!
You could lower your world level as totallynotpaul suggests, or you can simply join co-ops & matchmaking in domains to make some new pals!
There are plenty of strong players who can help you out. When I first got WL8 I had to drop down to 7 because I didn't even have a competent main dps let alone decent artifact sets yet.
(Beyond my bennetts noblesse oblige which had ok stats and was pretty meta at the time coincidentally) I did a bit of co-op domains and bided my time for a main dps banner that I liked to appear. At this point it's better to turn everything down a notch and be patient. Stockpiling resin/primogems & only doing the bare minimum and what you can have fun doing.
The story is huge and until you have at least one competent team some fights can be quite rough.
So being patient and only doing what you enjoy is very important to overcome the barrier and retain long-term satisfaction.
Basically point is you just have some growing pains to get through and it sounds like you enjoy playing with others. As another said, people can't take anything in your world except world spawns. Like flowers and what-not. Everybody has to pay resin for their own boss & domain rewards individually. Your chests, oculus, sigils, etc are only yours.
Hope you're still enjoying the game!
I agree with the event one, i hate missing out on events ESPECIALLY if they have important lore or character interactions in them, and it's way more fun to get to experience it for yourself instead of watching the story on RUclips. I wish we could get the chance to do old events, even without any rewards. I just want to experience the story and learn more about the lore 😭
And that's one of the hundreds of shady practices mihoyo pulls called FOMO forcing players to play or just miss out !
Biggest tip: don't start genshin if you have a gambling addiction, it'll make it worse

Very true, I dropped sport gambling and picked this up. Not the best, but I will say I’m taking the backseat now days

@@mohammadikmal7603 YESS
Same. I started in March 2024, I just want HuHu.
Quick tip regarding pulling for 4 star characters: I will sometimes gamble a few pulls on a banner for an important 4* if I need them or a key constellation. What I do is I choose whichever 5* character I want the most out of my options, and I ask myself "If I got this character in 20 pulls, would I still be happy?" Like, I don't love Nilou, but if I had her I would build her and try to put a team together for her. If I get her in, say, 30 pulls, I'm happy. I don't consider that a waste. And if I get my first Kaveh along the way, then bonus.
That being said, I only really do this if I'm facing a 50/50. I never gamble with my guarantee on a 5* I don't want. I'm a sometimes-Welkin player, so I can't afford to blow a guaranteed limited 5*. However, if I'm facing a 50/50, worst case is I get my 50/50 out of the way for only 20 or 30 pulls.
Otherwise, just be patient. You'll probably get that 4* randomly either on the standard banner off free battlepass and sigil wishes, or randomly off a limited banner. I think I've actually gotten most of my first 4* pulls that way. Best of luck to everyone.
Yes this is what I do because some 4 stars are more valuable than many of the 5 stars in this game. If I did not have Kuki for example I would definitely pull on a Kuki banner if at least one of the 5 stars was pretty decent. If the banner has multiple 4 stars I might like some constellations on, then I might even go to soft pity. Anytime you get a 5 star before soft pity it is still a win. Avoid the weapon banner unless it is an incredible weapon banner where both the 5 and 4 stars are valuable. For a new player the Fav, Sacrificial, Widsith, Stringless, or Tulaytullah series of weapons are extremely valuable.
I would also save Masterless Starglitter for specific characters like making sure you have a Bennett and Fishcl. I regret getting the shop weapons as I have only ever used them for maybe a month and never again for over 3 years. These days you can just use Lisa, Fischl, Dendro MC, and any anemo and you have a cracked team right there. Another mistake I regret was destroying the 3 star weapons you can get in the world like White Tassel and Skyrider Greatsword.
Yeah, the important thing to remember: You do not build pity while pulling on a banner. You only risk the pity you already have. Only after the fact, when you are done pulling, can you look upon the "built pity" consolation prize.
Also, when you click to pull on a banner for a four star, and you wind up getting the five star, you did not accidentally get the five star. You purposely clicked on something with a chance of getting that five star, and you got it. It might not have been the result you wanted, but it wasn't an accident.
Exactly this, perfect
It’s all about “would I be happy with the result if I get a 5 star going for 4 stars”
That was the Nilou banner for me, I got her to C3, but still only got 3 Kirara pulls in the end (after about 540 pulls)- mind you I wanted to get as many Nilou cons as possible primarily and Kirara cons were a bonus
@@AzureDrag0n1 My account is 1 year old and basically only lack 3 chars of 4 stars : Thoma, Yunjin, and Xinyan. There are a lot of chars that can be used for something, even if it's just material compass for specific region. We also need to build them for Imaginarium Theater anyway (just level 70 with some talents, bare minimum weapons, and 2 piece set artifacts) so it's good for new players aiming 4 stars but again prioritize the Tier S first like Xingqiu, Fischl, etc.
Destroying 3 star weapon is not actually a mistake BUT you need to make sure they are the common banner trash you can check on gacha history, not White Tassel indeed.
extremely solid advice - the ayato-cyno banner had an INCREDIBLE set of 4 stars (kirara, kuki, xiangling) but I knew that both 5 stars would never be used, so the banner was completely skipped
charlotte, chevreuse, mika, C1 beidou and 2 heizou cons were obtained from standard while C0 kuki and C1 sucrose were from weapon banner, so everything can and will eventually make its way back when the time is right. stay strong to have as little regrets as possible so that the unexpected 4 star tastes extra sweet
The "enjoy the game without rushing" is the best tip ever. For real, guys, enjoy the game. That's the main reason of it, anyways.
"Pick everything up"
BotW trained me well for this
Tip from a veteran, when pulling for limited character/with premium currency support five stars will add more value to your account compared to DPS character.
Yeah but if you need a dps and Arleady have good support you should go for dps (unless you don’t like the character and prefer the support bcs like doro said we should play the character we want)
@@viviDx._I agree, but right now you might wanna pull for supports more often because of the value they can give, you can put them in any team possible if you compare it for pulling a dps character
@@micoandreimanzarate1646
Yeah bcs support can be used in a lot of teams compared to some dps
underrated for sure
That is wrong. All supports have powerful 4* substitutes. Even nahida. Limited 5* dps are vastly more powerful than standard counterparts. The only exception is furina but mostly because she is dps and support in one.
Furina and nahida are the only supports i would rank higher than dps and nahida only if you want to build hyperbloom or burgeon. Kokomi, Baizhu, Shenhe are luxury units. Xianyun is niche and requires a dps in the first place. Especially in the early game a good dps will carry you through everything. I had to use c0 noelle because the game didn't give me any dps until ar 45 or something. That wasn't fun and I had furina who was almost all my damage.
Baizhu and kokomi are complete luxury pulls.
I've started the game over several times before and the one thing I always made sure to do was not rush the things that are always going to be there.
so true!

For my brother it already started again a few weeks ago.
Please no I want my freedom
@@Otherface I feel bad for your brother😭
I started already 3 weeks ago…
Some things i wish i did differently are:
1. Do your darn story quests! I ignored them for the longest time and now i have this huge backlog of them thats pretty overwhelming (also hangout events aswell ive only done like 3 of them 😭)
2. Dont be afraid of a challenge! I didnt finish the drgaonspine world quest until i was in inazuma because i just hated the sheer cold mechanic and the challenging mobs there, i wish i did it sooner
3. Dont pull on the weapon banner! Im strictly f2p and i've been playing for 1 year. I have never used a single pull on the weapon banner because its just a huge scam atp, focus on getting the characters u want first
4. Dont get caught up in going for constellations for 4 and 5 star characters! Spend ur pulls on getting new characters instead because over time you'll naturally get 4 star constellations from pulling on other banners
5. Dont neglect your weapon and talents! They by far have the biggest damage increase for the lowest resin investment!
6. Choose wisely which characters to level up to 90 first! Characters scaling with attack or hp dont get a significant damage increase from getting to 90 while characters like kuki or kazuha get as much as 30% damage increase.
7. Dont neglect weekly tasks like bounties or bosses, they have very valueable rewards! (Im very guilty of this ☠)
14:00 ''but if kaveh is there you pull'' me with c6 Kaveh from pulling for navia:
I got a C6 Faruzan from pulling for Wanderer. And it wasn’t until almost a year later that I built up Faruzan and pair her with Wanderer for that sweet, sweet Anemo SHRED.
"Build only 1 or 2 teams only! No one else!"
Imaginarium Theater: _"Are you sure about that?"_
lol, i feel that.although it is endgame stuff it feels bad
To be fair it's endgame, not exactly something you can do at like AR20
@@narniadici1976 Spiral Abyss is also endgame, hence why the advise of using 2 teams
@@kuyarence that advice is not only bc of the abyss. you should have two or three teams to counter resistances. example: if you have neuvifuri team it can clear almost anything easily, but hydro cube and oceanid exist too.
i havent touched the theater since i only have 1 team 🥲
1:22 that's very true, I don't regret a single character I got as f2p. and if I regret not getting one, there are always reruns!

As a new player I love this video and love learning new things about the game(I just arrived in inazuma)

Congrats 🎉
welcome :)
i am behind y'all in liyue (100%ed monstad)
Yeah, i stop at Sumeru ,not even finish it yet. Realized i still have Enkanomiya and the Chasm ...
A small tip as someone who didn’t download until a few days before Sumeru’s release: it suck not knowing all the lore of previous limited events, but it’s not the end of the world. At some point, they’re probably going to be brought up again or you can just watch a RUclipsr play through them. I was so stressed because I didn’t know certain things when I was playing, and I eventually stopped playing for a little cause I just didn’t like the fact I was missing out on the lore (I’m a lore player lol). Don’t take missing out on limited events so hard, you’ll learn what happened eventually, especially if you go out of your way to.
People always say don't wish on the Standard Banner, but I prefer it. I like to only use characters in game that I've met in story, so some new 5 Star from Natlan is kinda worthless to me. Plus, all the 4-Stars have been plenty satisfying for just running around the world and doing stuff, or spending resin.
The reason why people say that is because anything on that banner can be obtain losing 50/50 on limited ones, and its not like you get only Natlan, Kazuha and Raiden are from Inazuma ( just next region after Liyue )
watch the "demo" of the characters and see if any of them catch your eye. Once you know the chars you like, you can then plan when are they expected to appear in a banner and save primos in advance. Don't let people tell you "this character is not meta", as every single character in genshin is "usable" as long as you put the investment and effort into those characters.
Thanks ❤
For oculi, the best not tiring way is to get them as you go and find the rest with the craftable locator. Using the interactive map for that can be painful since it's not in sync with your progress so it will lead you to empty spots and there are loads of them.
What I do is explore the map freely, and when I stumble upon an oculi, I just mark the location on my map (not the interactive one, the in-game map). Then, when my regular exploration is over - I turn to the interactive map just to find the oculi I'm missing, referring to the marks on my in-game map for the ones I've already found.
I find this the best for myself, because I'm not gimping my exploration experience, and when I'm done there are just a few oculi left so going back with the interactive map is pretty quick. The only problem is the limited amount of marks you can do on the in-game map. But new regions come in parts, so you don't get all the oculi in a single patch so it's usually fine.
@@Mismatch- this is good in the beginning, until the marker limit hits
@@ririhihieventually you just need to check if you have all of them in an area and you delete the markers
no, just grind them all, max that stamina asap
@@Mismatch- that does do the trick but marking every single oculus you pick is just not necessary when the locator exists, you can just take everything you see and locate the rest. Then if you really want to use that interactive map you can use it with the locator to directly pin point the position of the oculus in the small radius the locator indicated, how does that sound
I always hear people insist on using the interactive map and marking down everything, and I get why that would be preferably for some people. I was the same way a while back because I never wanted to miss anything. But now I'd have to disagree as to its importance. At least for me personally, constantly marking down and tracking things makes exploration feel like a chore and it takes me out of the game. Mark down all the oculi for Mondstadt and Liyue, absolutely, because they're important for stamina. But past that, if you're someone who delights in immersive exploration and stumbling across things, I'd argue you'd be better off not using the interactive map. I use it almost exclusively for farming routes nowadays and I enjoy exploration a lot more. Not only that, but it gives actual importance to the treasure compasses and oculi resonance stones which, if you enjoy traveling and farming for resources in the open world like I do, gives you more to look for and collect to craft them. Ultimately, you're given tools within the game itself to find almost everything. Realizing that and embracing it has made me love exploration and even pushed me to upgrade my reputation levels more than ever.
Yeah marking everything like that is kinda anal. I only do it when looking for resources for character building.
I don't understand why the exception to your rule is the Oculi - effectively the only resource in the game that Genshin flat out tells you where it is by using the relevant item.
Personally i'd also use it for puzzle chests that doesn't show up from compasses. There are a few cryptic chests that u probably wouldn't think of doing the thing u need to for said chests. A great example is the chest u get for breaking the pots that doesn't glow wen using elemental sight
The issue I find with chests is that ones the gizmos don't show... the ones that get spawned by things. And it sucks when you've gotten 90% of the chests, and now you have to explore step by step, checking each one, to try and find the missing ones.
That said, I don't use the interactive map. I don't like having to mark stuff, it not really showing the locations well, that sort of thing. I use video guides on youtube.
I'm a newer player (ar 50, started at the very end of 4.6), I only use the map if I NEED something - like one missing oculi, a couple precious chests for the primos/sigils, one last flower, etc.
I'd say do the Dragonspine quests as soon as possible (world level 0), especially a particular time battle trial at the bottom of the mountain that unlocks the world quest to get to the top of the mountain... Bloodyhell that trial still gives me nightmares
haha i just had some people help me with that trial the other day
Pulling kazuha and finally beating that trial is one of my first great genshin memories 🥂
Id actually say dont do it as early as possible.I remember I tried to do it when i was...around ar 16? i dont remember the exact ar but it was around that point and i failed.miserably. I think you need to have your characters a little bit built first, and understand the game mechanics ect. If you want to get it over with, atleast get someone to help you with it in coop.Dragonspine is a really annoying location and as someone who has it maxxed, the annoyance can make it HARD sometimes.
@@riomadar what I somewhat mean is, do it early on in the game before the first world level change, and have your characters above lvl 30 so you still have a chance to beat some of the annoying sections of Dragonspine.
I vaguely remember something. Wasn't it 3 cryo abyss mages in a tiny patch of land surronded by water?
I started genshin in 2021. Recently I have had problems getting into that account and so I made a new one about 3 months ago. I am currently draining every single primo from every region. I do not go to a new region UNTIL everything is maxed. Including exploration, quests, and my reputation rank. I am sitting at AR 50, with exploration in only Liyue and Mondstadt. I am working on clearing the newer place of Liyue and then I will move to Inazuma. I say my strategy is working quite well.
could have completed the game at 25 and would b cooler
@@BP-iz2lt Completing the game at AR 25 is physically impossible lol. You have to be AR 30 to reach Inazuma.
I admire your dedication, initially I wanted to go on about it in the same way, but then I get carried away, unlock maps and explore stuff that’s literally jumping into my face
if my memory of genshin were completely wipe, id love to start playing it again in 2024 cause on god id be the happiest geymer in the world
why is this so true the time i had the most fun was playing the early game with friends and exploring for the first time
True, first time experience was amazing
Fr tho. Playing the game for the first time back in 1.2 was some of the most fun I've had with the game to this day
"If you could start genshin over agai-"
YOU FOOL, I HAVE 9 ALTERNATIVE ACCOUNTS!
OH NO, I WILL NEVER FIND YOUR MAIN!
@@tomekk2091 MUHAHAHAH
I would start one new account even now, if it was possible to skip all dialogs (and the cutscenes too, if I want) . I'd just need an option "no dialog at all" somewhere. That's the main things that keep me away from doing it all again: having to click trough a lot of dialog I already red it's a really big waste of time.
@@MrMytubeIta I like re-reading it.
How long has it been since you’ve seen this stuff?- 🌱🌿🌳
just when I needed. I'm getting my family to play with me and hopefully this video helps, thanks doro!
I did so many of these things correctly back when I started at 3.7 on Alhaitham rerun banner. I pulled for him at the time bc I was thinking I should go for characters that are known to be good and I got it. I built characters around him first but at the same time I was trying to build a second team which was ok cuz there was a lot of contents before to get exp mora and primos from it was just tiring. I would find myself feeling burnt out when I should have been playing for fun but I guess thats just me haha. Building around Al was a good decision for me as I progress through the game I realized how important some 4 stars are compare to what I initially thought. What I wish I did do or knew was how massive the value some 4star characters has and some 3&4 star weapons are really good not just for newer accs. Also ER matters, I was only thinking of getting cr and cdmg but getting the right amount of ER for some characters was a game changer for me.
For the love of Barbatos, new players: PLEASE, DON'T DO THINGS JUST BECAUSE OTHER SAUD SO!! If you hear X people hates Venti,hut you like him then don't care about it. Don't hate on characters just because other do,and vice versa, don't love them just because others do. And don't listen to others if they bully you,if you like playing amber and people say she's trash and you are,so what? They're the ones tha are thras for bullying you,and don't stop playing her just because of that comment. After all, likes are for satisfying yourself,not others. Love yourself and respect others.
Yup yup i was adviced to get kazuha instead of venti but idc how much dmg i am missing its not as fun with him
@@vel5785 I just used both of them together in Imaginarium Theater, and Venti was on field just as much as Kazuha, and more use at grouping enemies because his burst lasts longer. Also, I have a permanent Venti team in my party setup with Fischl, Yoimiya and Kokomi, because abyss floor 12 is like 0.01% of the game.
That's why I check multiple videos, to have an idea of who to look out for. I figured out for myself that Amber isn't horrible but get I that she's not ideal for fast combat. But she is great for beginners. Bunny helped a lot when facing scary opponents.
I also learned about how Lisa is usually support. I get why. But she became my DPS as soon as I got Xiangling. I really enjoy overload.
Everything I was reading said Amber was a weak character and not worth anything, but I enjoyed playing her and decided to "waste" my time and resources on her. Once I decided that, I stumbled across a bunch of videos and commentary saying how under-appreciated Amber was. :)
Amber got me good at aiming with a controller. I still use her sometimes at world level 7. Going full meta all the time makes the game boring
I have a good tip for collecting the Oculus' for each area! As you're running around and you come across one as soon as you pick it up open up your map put a marker on it and tag it "found". Then at some point when you have time you can go to the interactive map and just mark off all the ones that you've already gotten. It's so much easier than doing it the other way around and using the interactive map to mark them all in the game in the first place imo.
2:15 One of my friends started to play genshin impact last year. He asked for some tips. And the first thing was litherally: PICK UP EVERYTHING
if i could start again i would never pull on banners with inazuma charakters until i unlocked inazuma its like getting a new toy but be told you have to wait till christmas to play with it
LOOK AT YOUR COOL RC CAR, but dont have batteries and the store is closed all weekend HAHAHAHA
I'm glad he thinks about these things and also for the money spending part, he didn't just use all of that money for his acct, he used it to help the community with the giveaways like he mentioned. Also 100% enjoyed the video :)
I would say the biggest 2 are 1: using the interactive map from the start and 2: save the fragile resin PLEASE
I am starting Genshin Impact this year and I was a long time WoW player who worked at WoW hq and this is helpful.
the first thing I did in genshin was walk around the entire world (except inazuma because i had no idea how to go there yet) and unlocked every statue i could to check out the world. doing that made me realise how huge the world is and how much i have to actually explore so i was instantly hooked
I'm just starting a new account because my main is pretty much done, and I'd recommend just to pull whoever you want (unless you're planning on playing meta), that's what I did on my main and, even if I don't have the best characters, I have the ones I enjoy the most. And also, not rushing is very important - taking breaks, and just doing whatever you feel like doing that day (exploring, doing quests or just log in to do dailies/events) and, even if you don't want to play for a week or a month or for as long as you want, that's completely fine. And well, that's pretty much it 💓
Oh, and also, remember to try and do the weekly comissions so you get the rank higher. I was ar55 on my main and I had completely forgotten about those. I had to work a bit to get to level 10's as I had still to do the 4 regions available at that time.
One thing for the eager new players to take note of is: ignore the abyss, or at least the lower floors. The lower floors are better for more seasoned accounts, so just concentrate on building a party that’s strong enough for the overworld first. Build your supports (get an archer). Build a 4 star DPS to start with.
Another thing: really restrict your pacing by going with commission count and the bp count - if you max out the daily commission count, then stop there for the day. I plan out my daily genshin stuff based on what I can do for the bp. (The second tip might be more applicable to older players tho who try not to get burned out but maybe newer players wanna try this too)
At least for spiral i'd at least attempt it til floor 4. But just don't go crazy and feel like u have to win. Floor 4 mainly bc thats wen freebie charas aren't given out afterwards
The only reason I haven't built any archers is because I absolutely suck at aiming and shooting in any sort of timely manner without the mobs interrupting me. Bow characters are a style of play that I have never been able to master.
@@Mahomie_15get a shielder or chars that has interruption resistance against Poise damage
Wiki has all sorts of info regarding these
This is PERFECT timing I just started 3 days ago!
refine your weapons/artifacts, just do it, youll do zero dmg if you dont
its not a waste, you cannot farm good artifacts for months anyway
char levels matter less, most of the stats are from weapons and gear
As a new player that just got to AR40, the only time i use the interactive map is when im almost getting to level 10 on a statue, so i blindly explore the map whenever i see something glowing and i think it makes the game more fun. Got all of those anemoculus and almost all of those geoculus. Then im good to go to Inazuma.
When starting out-and in my case, since starting Genshin over-I would recommend is your first team comp(s):
1) has a decent DPS. (Yanfei, Chongyun, Heizou and Noelle are all great 4 star DPS characters that are cost effective and powerful when built properly and synergize with the support characters you have also built)
2) supports that help with combinations of elemental reactions, shielding, healing, and/or faster map traversal. The supports I personally built are Barbara (even though I HATE playing her. She’s my necessary evil 😢), Fischl (don’t care for, but necessary), and Layla (awesome since I love shields, and discovered double cryo crit rate increase teams with her), and Faruzan, (Anemo SHRED). I have Bennet, Xiangling, and Xingqiu waiting in the wings in need of better build investment.
3) and at least one character that easily mines ores. Those would be all claymore characters, 4 star Ningguang (plus she can show ore locations on mini-map), and 5 star Zhongli.
Yanfei has served me well as a DPS that I can do elemental reactions with other key 4 star support characters like Barbara, Dendro Traveler, and Fischl (that was my team comp when Sumeru came out. Could use that team everywhere in Sumeru).
I still play with essentially two different team builds, with some characters getting left behind as a few new ones came in. Noelle got left behind for Xiao when I got him. Now Xiao is left behind-but still well built-for Wanderer (who I’ve name Ren).
I already started about 1 month ago!I just finished liyue archon quest!Thanks for the tips!It'll help me a lot 😊
For 2:50, some players tend to prefer to not have another app/tracker open whenever playing games. If you are one of them, I would still suggest to pin your collected oculuses (or any other notable collectible) using the in-game map so that once you reach a point that you want to 100% your statues/trees/etc., you can just open up the interactive map once then you can reflect your pins there.
That is personally what I do since I do like finding things naturally while I explore. It's only when I want to 100% things would I use the interactive map to find the few ones that I missed.
THE AD IS CRAZY NAHH 4:30
It's just a furry game
@blazeredraw LMAOOO 💀💀💀
Guys. I played on Kazuha’s last banner and got him after I lost the 50/50 on Nuev’s to Jean, and for the anniversary I picked up Moan… don’t ask why I chose Mona… My favourite character in the game is Chevreuse because she has a damn gun… I took a bunch of time since then
What the hell are some teams that I can use for them, I think I have a fair amount of 4*. I have Benett C2, Oronon, Ningaung C1, Chevy, Kujou Sara, Xingqiu C1, Gaming, Yanfei C2, Yun Jin C2, Noelle C1, Freminet C1, Collei, Candace C1, Xinyan C1 and obviously all the characters you get for free in the story.
Right now Kazhuha is smoking everything though.
3:49 when I first downloaded genshin I didn't do any world quests at all but one time raiden had her banner and I really wanted her so I decided to do random world quests and the first quest that I decided to do was the Aranara quest. I sat down doing that shit for to weeks straight and couldn't finish and now it's left incomplete and I'm terrified to do any other world quests
I kinda wish there was a way to replay the story without needing to make a new account. I want to reexperience everything. It pulls on your heart strings a bit. Its such a good time.
I wouldnt have pulled on the standard banner
Bro I've pulled so much on the standard banner as a new player then I went to yt to check on some tips and stuff only to find out people consider it an abomination to spend primos on the standard banner
@@veil.4kur not alone😭
i wasted like 90 wishes on it cz i didnt get what the event banners were. i could have gotten clorinde. damn it
I remember thinking standard banner had ALL the characters including the limited 5 star ones so I kept pulling hoping to get Nahida or something 💀
I was dumb and wanted keqing.
Later i lost arlecchino to her.💀
There were so many good points that I agree with. I will say however sometimes with story the only reason I want to get it done a little quick is to avoid spoilers. I try to mute everything and not watch certain creators till I'm done but somehow I've still managed to have the story spoiled for me 😢.
I get you, I just got to Inazuma and have gotten the Fontaine archon quests spoilt for me
@@keylessbacon It always saddens me to hear this it's such a let down when it happens. You were still two nations away :( I hope you can still enjoy Fontaine when you get there.
The point about leveling up your 4* and supports needs to be said more. I cannot emphasize enough how much impact having a fully realized Bennet and Shinobu is to an account. Bennet's value is easy enough to see but after I built Shinobu, it's like I unlocked an entirely different part of the game when using her with dendro teams. The same goes for other 4* in other elements like Rosaria for budget freeze teams and Sucrose for those that don't have Venti or Kazuha.
As a side note, I even built an only 4 star team with Heizou, Thoma, Xinqiu, and Shinobu so I could play the Avatar in the game. There's a lot you can do to make the game fun to play without needing to break the bank so don't sleep on your 4 stars people.
I have an addictive personality. I get super locked on things I gain interest in and start to obsess and over do things. HOWEVER, if there’s one thing I’m proud of myself for, is that a refuse to become addicted to gambling. I may be willing to spend SOME money on things like I have with ZZZ that I just started a few weeks ago, but I’m much pickier on what I feel is actually worth spending money on which usually isn’t much. This was a good video to started. I’m finally gonna try this game out tomorrow and try to take it easy and enjoy a more casual pace if I really like it. The only thing I’m stressed about is literally choosing between the male and female main character lol. Even if I’m told it’s not a big deal, it’s important to me that I’m confident and don’t regret it. I had to go through the trouble of restarting my ZZZ account on PS5 because I wanted to switch to Wise.
I never want to restart my progress in Genshin, Unlike HSR
Well HSR makes you regret building units by powercreeping them 😢
I have it complete opposite
@@traplegend5065 HSR has gotten from "oh my god, this is my MAIN gachagame" in a few patches from 1.4 onwards to "nah, just a sidegame. Only the events and main-story is fun, the endgame is powercreep fiesta". Very sad to see.
HSR mehr you regret spending money on a character after just two patches where in Genshin getting a character you really like will still feel amazing years later
Honestly its the opposite for me, idk why even though ik hsr respects my time much more than genshin does. Still, maybe that's cuz it's been exactly half a year since I joined hsr as of writing this. And ive been playing genshin for 3+ years, so maybe i just like restarting genshin cuz it brings back nostalgia from when I actually enjoyed the game and had fun (and wasn't burntout)
Doing my word quests and story quests 🥲
I have so much of them that I’ve not touched and now just neglecting them bc of how overwhelming it is 😅
if you're F2P never pull on the weapon banner
As a f2p i agree
1: i need more characters bcs i can’t make a lot of teams without some character that is one the other team
2: it’s a scam.
I did and my god its painfull, i got the weapon i wanted after about 120 pulls and that was the only time i got the wanted weapon
I would say it depends on ur roster and which weapon it is
as an f2p, this is actually untrue/ semi true and here is why (dont follow if you are new/dont yet have 3 seperate abyss clearing teams):
1) when you play in the long term, you will gather a lot of characters and only piling up their cons will not be as effective because limited 5* cons are rare.
2) there is only so much optimization you can do with artifactmaxxing (i made that term up)
3) a lot of potential is usually locked up behind weapon banners
4) its 2 50/50's is not that bad because you see, if you get a standard weapon you will be guarenteed to get a limited weapon later, which you can make the most out of in weapon banners with great weapons, such as the hutao/neuvi banner, where getting either of their weapons is quite the upgrade to almost all characters
5) a few characters like alhaitham, cyno, emilie, itto, baizhu etc value c0r1 more compared to their c1
6) a few weapons make great value: freedom sworn, elegy's end, wolf gravestone, sobp are great for buffing your team whereas lofi,homa, tome, scarlet sands staff, aqua and mistsplitter make great dps (and by that i mean they are the only more better universal 5* options if they arent these then dont bother pulling)
7) fashion impact
8) its soft pity starts much faster and the hard pity is 80
no im not trolling, having 2 staves of homa and 2 freedom sworns and a lofi (i also have the wanderer bell but havent gotten a character to use it yet) really makes the spiral abyss easier to beat and i gathered them overtime. the only bad pulls i got from the weapon banner were 2 aquila favonia and a skyward atlas but it works a charm on bennet so its alright, and yae miko's 2nd best in slot if skyward (hoyo pls give me wgs)
Edit: fate points are just a failsafe if you are actually trying to get the only 5* at once and "right here right now emerge" instead of using your fates on it slowly only on good weapon banners, the 50/50 loss carries over but if you win the 50/50 on a limited weapon it means you won and case closed and the slim chance that you "win" the limited weapon you dont want twice, it can help you. needless to say if you have gambling addiction then seek professional help
@@SkeletonIsNoob yeah what youre saying is true but the banner could be better its a not bad not great situationa, also i feel like loosing a 50/50 on weapon stings much more
good tip: save all your keys for opening the shrine of dephts until you are at world lv 9 and then open them up for better rewards then you would get if you do it at world lv 1
THANK YOU!!! I’ve been playing for about a month now and there is so much to understand!!!
I just started a little over a month ago. Im completely hooked. Just finished inazuma archon quest it was amazing. Got the welkin and the battle pass. Used alot of my early wishes on Kazuha banner because i just love the samurai aesthetic and he is my favorite character so far. Thanks so much for this video it was super informative. Love your channel and your community vibe. Thanks for all you do.
If I could restart Genshin again, I would read the rules and study the game's functions. I was so clueless for the first few months one year ago. I thought it was like Devil May Cry since in those games, you can power through without upgrades. I was super wrong.
You reminded me about how i didnt know you can upgrade talents
@@tomekk2091 I made it to the Tartaglia boss battle and learned I wasn't strong enough. I proceeded to upgrade the characters and then learned about weapon and talent upgrades. It took a lot of torture and one broken TV for me to understand.
Honestly I think the clueless period is precious, you can’t really get back the novelty of the game when you break it down into guides
Knowing how to stay alive and deal damage is good, pacing yourself is important
Wait we can upgrade talent 💀 shit how to do it bro I am at ar26 and I didn't knew you can upgrade talent I am embarassed now @@tomekk2091
Yup, that's why i only buy welkin because i enjoy the story, i need game like this so i can relaxing from my work and stop smoking, better spend money for welkin each month then smoking😊
I only buy welkin occassionally and only buy BP when I max it out so I get all the extra rewards, and I find primo farming and saving really rewarding
starting genshin for the very first time on xbox since its recent release and this helped :) thanks fam
I started playing few months after genshin was released and I watched this video as fun video to see what I did "wrong"/differently then perfect start would be and damn. From your list I did everything "right". I only bought one welkin ever, I picked up everything and used interactive map from the start and I still am using it and I did a lot of quests. Not all but man a lot. Funny thing is that only about 6 months ago I was able to finish floor 12 in abyss for first time and I never got all stars yet. But that floor 12 win was glorious....
If I could replay the game, I wouldn’t do the story as quickly as I did.
Started in 4.3 and got to Fontaine in a couple days. Wish I took my time with it instead.
It wasn’t because I needed to catch up but because I enjoyed the game too much 😂
I started early 3.8 and I am in sumeru.
Naaa I love doing them all and have nothing to do lol. I either go do tea pot decor or just end the game
Enjoying the game at its 100% its not something u should regret for tho :P
The best way to enjoy is to do the Archon quests in a region and after that finish the major world+story quests of that region before going to the next one. I always followed this and trust me it is rewarding.
It is a far more better approach compared to doing the archon quests of all regions 1st then moving onto the world quests. You will get mad if you binge play all those voiceless world quests later. 😅

Yes. Me planning Qiqi+Dehya melt team is also meta, because it's my meta. Despite both of them being the butt of all jokes in Genshin community. Build whatever you like, threat the game as a playground, not a second job/school.
Burning YaoYao team can and should be your meta, because ultimately the meta is having fun.
@@Arsiana thank you
I rushed to Adventure rank 32 and loved every minute. Made it to inuzama and now taking my time to explore the map and just have fun. My main team is Sucrose, Kaeya, Bedou, and Mona. Kaeya and Mona are roational with Xiangling and Barbara until i get a xiaxou or whoever that water 4* is.
Mona is actually really fun with her decoy, sucrose ability to group onto decoy, Kaeya to freeze, Bedou to clean up. Pretty fun little rotation with alot of elemental procs and sucrose swirl shenanigans.
The game is alot of fun especially exploring and figuring out the puzzles for chests.
ty so much my older brother just introducd me to genshin impact
2:27 that was so unnecessary blud
The sponsor 💀
nah because I made a new alt account for nostalgia purposes and I was too lazy to get past liyue.. I’ll log back in eventually
I hope…..
As an on and off player (2021-2022 and late 2023 till now) i absolutely agree with the rerun and not waisting your primos! especially if you are f2p.
other than that:
Anemo traveller! I mained them up until december 2023 and let me tell you, it is worth it. Anemo has great reactions and especially the travellers ult is great for big crowds, and also useful against many bosses for infusion of anemo and other elements.
Also: don't forget to level up the talents!! I didn't know it was a thing for the first years since i never read up on or watched things, but it definetly made my life easier when the characters' damage output was on par with my world level :/.
Another good one is weapon refinement! Didn't figure that out until this year shame on me haha.
Glad to have gotte more into the community nowadays, i still learn something new with every google search, stream or video or simply by reading posts on the community platforms.
Enjoy everyone!!
I admit, i dont watch alot of genshin Content on RUclips, but i think this is the first time i heard an experienced player say just pull for you want and dont play the meta if you dont want so.
Thats pretty refreshing 😅
RESTART??? Aw hell no! The thought of all that hard work lost........... 🤢
@@yingyau708 you don't lose anything because you can't reset your account. You either start a new account with a new email or you switch servers on your same account.

What's that music at 0:25?
One of the Natlan themes from the official teaser videos.
The background music? I believe it’s something for Legend of Zelda Wind Waker
@@domin8or029 ohaaa! I don‘t know WHAT it is, but I mixed it up with the one that plays at the end of the „Lil‘ buddy“ Natlan teaser! 😅 Because of the pan pipes. You know what I mean?!
@@domin8or029it is, I didn’t remember what it’s called but it is
@@domin8or029 Thanks, that's exactly it, Dragon Roost Island to be specific.
Don't waiste your time......on this video😮
Omg yaaaassssssss on the world quest. I’ve recently just slowed down and went back to start doing stuff. I was like why am I in a rush, let’s enjoy this. So I’ve been completing the world quest I started and never finished.
When picking up animocules etc, if u dont want to use interactive map from the start, you can pin their location on ingame map as you collect them and later mark them on interactive map.
"Never wish for 4 stars". That's at the same time the most common, and the most stupid take people make on genshin. You said it yourself : pull characters you like. 5 stars are absolutely not necessary in that game. If you agree that pulling for meta is stupid, then telling that 5 stars are always a priority over 4 stars is a nonsense.
Umm no, “never wish for 4 stars” is not a stupid advice. It’s not that 4 stars aren’t good or anything, it’s that 4 stars characters are never guaranteed, unlike the limited 5 stars which has a pity guarantee, 4 stars also as a pity guarantee but it was split into 3 evenly, you only has 33% chance of getting 4 stars you wishes. I’ve seen people going through to get C2 on a 5 stars until they got the 4 stars they wanted.
@@tomjordan4123 If your favourite character is a 4 star, you can't be like "uuuh I won't pull for him/her cause I don't like the 5 stars of his/her banner"
That makes no sense. Yes you can be unlucky. Yes you have to know this is risky and that it can be difficult to have 5 stars on next banners.
But if you like it, go for it. That's all
@@robinm7024 that is not what he meant by “wish for it”
I think this is already go without saying obviously , if anyone like a character that they see in a banner, then you go for it. If THAT is what you meant by the context of “wish for it” then it is no different to a 5 stars, pull whoever you like, duh.
But the difference is that 4 stars don’t have the hard guarantee, and spending money to specifically aim to wish for a 4 stars can get MORE expensive than a 5 stars characters.
That’s what he meant for “never wish” for a 4 stars. Please learn to read the context before calling anyone stupid for giving advice, and it’s ACTUALLY a good advice no less.
@@tomjordan4123 I call the opinion stupid, not the people.
If I have to learn to read context, I guess you're struggling with just reading.
+ If you need to use context to change the litteral meaning of what you're saying, just use differents words from the beggining.
I really enjoyed this video! You're super easy to listen to, and you don't talk 100% in advanced Genshin jargon I can't understand lmao. Subscribed!
I love the game. It's beautiful, the characters and the lore is so detailed and interesting, and as a person who always enjoyed role-playing in deep depth containing lore, I rlly wanted to start playing genshin bc I really enjoyed how the story is so far. But one major problem...
I have no idea how to decided on good artifacts, and panic when fighting a darn hillicurls......
Yeahhhh I might needa work on NOT getting scard of every enemy I see....
Every new area I tell myself I’ll use the interactive map and I always get lazy. But later on when I’m at like 70-80% exploration and I can’t find chests/oculi I’m always kicking myself
i started playing when inazuma was a new thing and the game already felt so huge, cant imagine starting now, but honestly if i forget everything about it id play it again, its really good
I really needed this!!! Thank you so much
14:10 Yup, learned that the hard way! I wanted Razor, after 40 pulls I ended up with a Yelan and a C4 Yanfei, so not a bad result, but I still wanted Razor! And then I learned I could buy him from the shop at some point anyway!
My biggest tip is don’t focus on the meta. The meta is mostly for players who grind the abyss or the new witch fighting trial thing or if you have a really rich account to begin with. If you just started, your characters will suck it’s meant to suck and you can’t compare yourself to day 1 or paying players. And even at higher AR, don’t be pressured to pull for allegedly strong characters. Most characters are pretty strong if built right and you don’t have to be doing 500k dmg if you’re just a casual exploration or story focused player. Just pull for who you like, build a team of characters you like and you’ll do fine.
It is sure much more fun when you can't use primos on one character because you're saving for someone who MIGHT come 2 patches later.
Also, a tip from someone who started over. Abyss can be hard for new players even on lower levels, but having Xiangling is a blessing. The moment you see her on a banner, you pull and hope that you get her. There is this whole hysteria about her being on way too many banners, but than again new players always come and they might just need her to be able to do certain challenges.
One thing I like to tell myself a lot is, yes, there are characters that are significantly better than others but if you put time into building a character and giving them a good team comp you can make most characters pretty good. Yes, there are better options but a lot of times you don't have them available.
Im playing for a month now, I love the overload reaction, and now im learning about aggravate. Its fun that the two teams you displayed on the beggining was that
This is a really helpful list of advice. If you've made these mistakes, learn from it. In the future, bleed for better things.
WOW YOUR CONTENT IS RIGHT ON SPOT FOR ME, I SAW IN MULTIPLE PLATFORM ABOUT GENSHIN IMPACT 5.0 (I AM BEGINNER IN THE GAME). THANKS FOR THE TIPS
I'll add for someone that start, it's probably better to build a team of 5-6 characters with differents elements that correspond to your START AREA (so mondstadt/liyue and maybe inazuma). The traveler can switch with anemo and geo at the start so a focus on other elements is a good option (plant not being much available at start area). once you have your team of 5 focus on this one only and switch of elements according to bosses or needs. Only then you can start leveling other characters and I'll prob advice not more that 1 other every months(depend on how much you play)
I'm not an end game player yet but my only regret at the start was to focus on only 4 charaters that couldn't be changed. Challenge is good but being able to use only 2 of them for some boss fights was hard and the more I progressed the more I noticed I needed different team compositions
As someone who did in fact start Genshin a little over 4 weeks ago, I can confirm that all the tips are solid and also conclusions that I came to naturally. The only artifact farming I did before 45 was for Mualani and Kachina's artifact sets at around 44. I wish I didn't spend primos on Mualani/Kazuha's weapon banner though because I got Kazuha's sword but I wanted Mualani's ball and now I'm constantly torn between going all the way for it before the pity gets wasted in a week or so.
i started genshin 2-3 months ago and i saw this guy somewhere saying PICK EVERYTHING YOU SEE and my life has not been same since.
I am a day one player, but I took a year long break during a really tough time in my life. I'm so glad I stepped away from the game.. I was majorly burnt out from playing so often, felt like the time I put in was not rewarded (crappy artifact RNG mostly, ngl). I left when Sumeru was released and came back for Neuvillette (lost my 50/50 to Mona, what a welcome back lolol). My love for the game is back to what it was when I started all those years ago. Now, I have a friend who is just starting the game. Hearing his experiences of the quests that I forgot about makes me wish I could experience it all again for the first time. But at the very least, I get to experience the new regions, have plenty more quests to fall in love with. I'm looking forward to more years with this game.
brooo!! Same!! i have too many side quests and now i'm too scared to start them, like i know they are not that long but some of them are soo long i literally just give up and started doing hangout events instead lol
8:16 really appreciate what you said there... I'm playing since 2.0 and now I've really come to realise that chasing meta is dumb just get the character you like hahah
I haven't spent a dime in the year and change I've played. Caught up on the story slowly, because life and other interests, really was only playing as a way to spend time with a long-distance friend. But then I got through Fontaine (right around the year mark after I started), I maxed out my world level, and FINALLY it all clicked. Furina is my baby, and more and more characters I waited to build are hitting level 90 with so much less effort. I got through the main story almost entirely with Traveler, Kaeya, Lisa, and Barbara at level 80. Now my main team is Fischl, Furina, Xiangling, Bennet. But now I have enough leveled characters to create quite a few different teams, especially just for overworld stuff (just finished getting Xinqui to 90). I'm really glad I had my friend to give me advice, because this game would have been a huge no with how overwhelming it can be going in blind. I don't play any of the other games in this genre, so it was a new experience.
My advice: As soon as you can turn your world level down, do. Just one level. Do main quests and world quests until you are blocked by your AR before doing the Adventure Rank tier quests. There's so much in this game if you are focuses on min/maxing it you will miss out. So don't stress yourself. I'm F2P and I wish on both the banners (though I only use my primogems on limited banners) because I get more whatever-the-heck-it-is (the middle redeem option) than I can spend on the 5 wishes of each type we are limited to a month. Yeah, don't spend your primogems unless you are excited about the 5-star on the banner, but also...you'll get more primogems. Search for redeem codes. I have a lot of great characters (building an A team and a B team up fully) and I have spent ZERO.
