Developed by miHoYo, known for also creating the <a href=\"https:\/\/honkai-impact-3.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Honkai Impact<\/a> RPG series, GI explores an <strong>expansive map<\/strong> of a world named Teyvat with options to fly through the lands and <strong>battle other players<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can choose to play different characters as you <strong>unlock the levels<\/strong>; however, the main goal is to reunite with your twin sibling who gets separated from you once reaching Teyvat. There are <strong>limited edition<\/strong> players who are experts in the <strong>elements<\/strong> for your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose between twin brother or twin sister at the start<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will need to think about your <strong>team of characters<\/strong> at the start, including whether you will like to play as a twin brother or twin sister who gets separated through a dimensional jump and immediately<strong> lands into a fight<\/strong> with a Goddess. At this point, you&#8217;ll lose and meet your <strong>Genshin guide<\/strong>, Palmon, and interact through dialogue as well as a special game menu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Genshin map, you&#8217;ll meet new townspeople characters and <strong>complete tasks<\/strong> for items that help you battle to get your twin back and <strong>complete the game<\/strong>. These characters are controlled by your <strong>commands<\/strong> through the on-screen instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"851\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-01-Genshin-Impact-gameplay.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-01-Genshin-Impact-gameplay.jpg 851w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-01-Genshin-Impact-gameplay-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-01-Genshin-Impact-gameplay-768x284.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-01-Genshin-Impact-gameplay-18x7.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-01-Genshin-Impact-gameplay-150x56.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choose characters that change up the Genshin Impact gameplay<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A great tactic for Genshin Impact is <strong>choosing characters<\/strong> defined by their strong <strong>elemental<\/strong> abilities. You already know examples of natural elements such as earth, wind, and fire, but they have different names in this RPG. The elemental strengths are called <strong>Anemo, Pyro, Cryo, Electro, Dendro, Electro, and Geo<\/strong>, which can be found in nature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The stronger the elements are, the more likely you&#8217;ll <strong>beat your enemies<\/strong>. Create a winning <strong>team of four players<\/strong> at the start with different elemental abilities that you can <strong>switch throughout the game<\/strong> to defeat bosses who may take bigger hits from certain elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"851\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-02-genshin-impact-pyro.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188050\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-02-genshin-impact-pyro.jpg 851w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-02-genshin-impact-pyro-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-02-genshin-impact-pyro-768x284.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-02-genshin-impact-pyro-18x7.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-02-genshin-impact-pyro-150x56.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep your eye out for specific fan-favorite characters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Strong characters for Genshin Impact include the popular knight <strong>Eula with high-speed attacks<\/strong> and limited addition partners such as the <strong>alchemist Albedo<\/strong>. These characters do progress and change within the story and <strong>different versions<\/strong> of the game. They can be acquired through <strong>Wish Events<\/strong> or using real currency to <strong>purchase characters<\/strong> in game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Other noteworthy characters include fan favorites <strong>Arataki Itto<\/strong> with Geo powers as well as <strong>Gorou<\/strong>, a leader that can help defeat the notorious <strong>Golden Wolflord boss<\/strong>. Your characters and team can be swapped out during gameplay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-03-genshin-impact-popular-characters.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-03-genshin-impact-popular-characters.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-03-genshin-impact-popular-characters-300x100.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-03-genshin-impact-popular-characters-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-03-genshin-impact-popular-characters-768x256.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-03-genshin-impact-popular-characters-18x6.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-03-genshin-impact-popular-characters-150x50.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Genshin Impact features a multi-player mode to join other characters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A unique feature of Genshin Impact is the ability to unlock <strong>multi-player mode<\/strong> when you finish level 16. From there, you can join a team of <strong>three other players<\/strong>. You and your fellow players can battle together or separate to roam the Genshin Impact world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you&#8217;re sticking to single player, you can look to loot boxes, called <strong>Wish Packs<\/strong>. These can be found during gameplay, but you&#8217;ll find more valuable items and characters via <strong>in-game purchases<\/strong>. There are also regular <strong>Wish Events<\/strong> with frequent play to <strong>unlock rare characters and weapons<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"851\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-04-genshin-impact-team.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-188052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-04-genshin-impact-team.jpg 851w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-04-genshin-impact-team-300x111.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-04-genshin-impact-team-768x284.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-04-genshin-impact-team-18x7.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/04\/image-04-genshin-impact-team-150x56.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 851px) 100vw, 851px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enjoy Genshin Impact as a versatile gacha game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Genshin Impact is a gacha game with similarities to <a href=\"https:\/\/gacha-club.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gacha Club<\/a>.
