Geshin Impact 2

  WORLD RANK After playing for a while you will find yourself in the situation where the main storyline is locked, because your Adventure Rank is too low. Well, there are no magic tricks to boost your AR. But these are some things you should't miss out on: Most Important one: Find and open chests, each gives you 10-50 AR EXP depending on the quality. Wipe out the Enemy groups on the locked chests. Do your Daily Comissions by the Adventurer's Guild. Each of the 4 quests gives you a good amount of AR EXP. Don't forget after doing all 4 commissions visit the Adventure Guild for additional rewards. Use your keys for the shrines, you can grab high quality loot as well such as 4-star artifacts. Explore the world and activate Teleport Waypoints. Each one gives you 30 AR EXP Ley Line Blossom missions give 100 AR EXP per 20 Resin ELEMENTAL OCULUS As you explore the world of Teyvat you will sometimes see stars appear on your mini map. These stars represent Anemoculus or Geoculus depe...

  COMBAT If you've played the previous game made by miHoYo, you already know this: The enemies are heavily pattern based and learning the pattern will save you alot of time. Special defense mechanisms are also important. Wooden Shield? Burn it! Stone Shield? Break it with a claymore/heavy attacks! Has a bubble where you can't deal high hits? Use a fast attacking character and keep the burst until the bubble is down! It is actually very simple once you give attention to these things. Some other things to keep in mind is that any archer, such as Amber, is a good character to initiate fights to fight in between obstacles. But don't lure them too far off, or else they will run back and reset their HP! Try to memorize the elemental reactions as soon as you can. Triggering combos can save you a lot of time. In case you did not know: You can insta-switch charaters in with an ultimate cast! Check your keyboard/controller binds for this. You can chain-combo multiple ultimates to pul...

  CHESTS Chests are one of the mainsources to get artifacts, materials, AR EXP and CHAR EXP scrolls. You will find them all over the world on your adventure. Be sure to spend some time to explore the starting city Mondstadt! You will find plenty of chests on roofs, walls or windmills... Also note that during co-op, all chests are locked for non-world owners and cannot be opened. COOKING Different dishes have different stats that you can make as you unlock and find recipes throughout the game.  These stats include: Stamina reduction cost, HP gain, DEF increase, and ATK increase. Remember to select a character with specialization on every dish you cook. Some can trigger a custom version of the dish, which will have higher stats. So be sure to pull for different characters to potentially get cooking benefits. You can take a closer look to the cooking mechanics

  LEVELING Adventure Rank EXP is given in everything you do in the game from unlocking Statues of the Seven opening chests and defeating enemies to completing side quests and main story quests. A majority of Adventure Rank EXP is given either through Main Quests or Adventure Scrolls which comes in sizes of small/medium/large. Choose your party setup wisely and try to have a main setup of 5-6 characters for the progress in case you run into a situation where your World Rank raises and the enemies have more health than before, thus taking you longer to defeat them. Try to keep the small EXP scrolls to hit the ascension cap of 20/40/60/70/80/90, so you don't waste any EXP by using the big ones. If you happen to run into a situation where your new beloved damage dealer is too low on levels, don't panic. You can go to Ley Lines in the open world where you can farm EXP scrolls every day as long as you have Resin (stamina). As we mentioned above, there are character evolution caps whi...

  STARTER CHARACTERS Starting the game will grant you 3 free characters during the beginners story progress: Amber Kaeya Lisa While Kaeya and Lisa can be replaced easily, Amber is one of the few archers and is the only Pyro archer in the current state of the game. She is required to solve puzzles or knocking enemies off a higher ground. You can level Amber safely for future game progress. ITEMS & CONSUMABLES As you travel through the world, you can grab all sorts of things on your way to the next location. Your backpack is basically a "endless" storage (30000), so if you have the time, try to grab everything you can get. Almost every item can be used or converted into other items by crafting, cooking or processing at a NPC. Every defeated enemy can drop items, from artifacts, crafting materials, character evolution items, and etc. Always try to pick up everything. You can craft or trade low level items at the alchemist to a higher grade replacement. Ores, crystals...

  CHARACTER SELECTION Starting the game will give you the option to select the male, Aether, or the female character, Lumine. As of version 1.0 this selection cannot be reverted or changed later in the game. If you are worried about the abilities, rest assured! Whatever your choice is, both characters have the same abilities. The trope of a useless Main Character doesn't appear here. Your main character is a 5 star and the only one which can freely adapt a different element once you reach a new region back and forth. So keep leveling her/him and include your main character on your adventure. Currently there are only 2 regions so Anemo and Geo are the only elements you can choose for now. Try to maintain at least one character of every element to be prepared for counter partys on certain missions like Domains, Abyss or other specific runs. As of this version (1.0) you don't start with a claymore user nor do you get one through the storyline. Luckily the gacha has a guaranteed No...
