Genshin Impact 新手指南 — 你需要知道的一切

Welcome to Teyvat

Genshin Impact is a massive open-world action RPG developed by HoYoverse, available on PC, PlayStation, mobile, and Nintendo Switch. You play as the Traveler, searching for your lost sibling across the seven nations of Teyvat, each governed by a different element and Archon. The game features real-time combat, exploration, puzzle-solving, and a gacha system for obtaining new characters and weapons. Whether you're coming from other gacha games or this is your first, this guide will help you hit the ground running without wasting precious resources.

Understanding the Elements

Genshin's combat revolves around seven elements: Pyro (fire), Hydro (water), Electro (lightning), Cryo (ice), Anemo (wind), Geo (earth), and Dendro (nature). When two elements interact on an enemy, they trigger Elemental Reactions that deal bonus damage or apply debuffs. Key reactions to learn early include Vaporize (Pyro + Hydro for 1.5-2x damage), Melt (Pyro + Cryo for 1.5-2x damage), Freeze (Hydro + Cryo to immobilize enemies), Superconduct (Electro + Cryo to reduce physical resistance), and Overloaded (Electro + Pyro for AoE explosion). Swirl (Anemo + any element) spreads elements to nearby enemies and is the foundation of powerful grouping teams. Learning which reactions your characters can trigger is far more important than raw stats early on.

Your First Characters and Team Building

You start with the Traveler (who can change elements at each nation's Statue of the Seven), Amber, Kaeya, and Lisa. You'll quickly earn enough Primogems and Acquaint Fates to do some early wishes. The Wanderlust Invocation (Standard Banner) is fine for beginners, but save your Intertwined Fates for limited character banners that feature powerful five-star characters. Every team in Genshin has four slots, and you want to build around Elemental Reactions. A solid beginner team includes one main DPS (the character who stays on field dealing damage), one sub-DPS (who deals damage from off-field abilities), one support (who provides buffs or elemental application), and one healer or shielder. Don't spread your resources thin — pick four characters you enjoy and focus on leveling them. Characters like Xiangling, Bennett, Xingqiu, and Fischl are four-star characters that remain relevant even in endgame and are worth investing in whenever you pull them.

Adventure Rank and World Level

Your Adventure Rank (AR) is your account progression level, increased by earning Adventure EXP from quests, daily commissions, opening chests, and discovering waypoints. As your AR increases, your World Level rises, making enemies tougher but also improving loot drops. Don't be afraid of World Level increases — the improved rewards are worth it, and you can always lower your World Level by one step in the menu if you're struggling. Key AR milestones to know: AR 16 unlocks co-op, AR 20 unlocks the Spiral Abyss endgame challenge, AR 25 unlocks reputation systems in each nation, and AR 45 is when you should start farming artifact domains seriously (guaranteed five-star artifact drops). Below AR 45, your Resin is better spent on talent books, weapon ascension materials, and character ascension materials.

Resin and Daily Routine

Original Resin is Genshin's stamina system — you have 160 maximum, and it regenerates at 1 per 8 minutes (full refill in about 21 hours). You spend Resin to claim rewards from domains, bosses, and ley lines. Your daily routine should include completing four Daily Commissions (60 Primogems + AR EXP), spending all your Resin on whatever materials you currently need, and checking the Serenitea Pot and Expeditions for passive rewards. Condensed Resin (crafted at the alchemy table with 40 Original Resin + 1 Crystal Core) doubles domain rewards and saves time — always craft some before farming artifact domains. Never let your Resin cap at 160 for extended periods, as that's wasted regeneration.

Exploration Tips

Teyvat is enormous, and rushing through it is a mistake. Take your time exploring — chests respawn in certain areas, and hidden puzzles reward Primogems, Sigils, and upgrade materials. Climb every Statue of the Seven you find to reveal the map and increase your stamina. Teleport Waypoints are your fast travel network — activate every one you pass. Collect everything: cooking ingredients, ore, local specialties, and materials from plants and wildlife. You'll need them for character ascension and crafting. The Adventurer Handbook (F1 on PC) tracks exploration progress and boss locations. Each nation has its own exploration mechanic — Mondstadt has wind currents, Liyue has Geo constructs, Inazuma has Electro puzzles, Sumeru has Dendro/Tri-Lakshana mechanics, Fontaine has underwater exploration, and Natlan has Saurian mechanics. Don't stress about 100% completion early — you'll naturally return to areas as new quests send you back.

Wishing Strategy and Primogem Management

Primogems are the premium currency used to purchase Intertwined Fates (limited banners) and Acquaint Fates (standard banner). As a free-to-play or low-spending player, your Primogems are precious. The pity system guarantees a five-star character or weapon every 90 wishes, with a "soft pity" dramatically increasing your odds starting at wish 74. The 50/50 system means your first five-star on a limited banner has a 50% chance of being the featured character — if you lose this coin flip, your next five-star is guaranteed to be the featured character. This means you need at most 180 wishes (28,800 Primogems) to guarantee a specific limited character, though most players hit pity well before 90. Never wish on the weapon banner as a beginner — the path to guaranteeing a specific weapon is extremely expensive. Save your Primogems for characters you genuinely want rather than pulling on every banner.

Artifacts and Equipment

Artifacts are your primary way to boost character stats after leveling. Each character equips five artifacts (Flower, Plume, Sands, Goblet, Circlet), and matching two or four pieces from the same set provides bonuses. Before AR 45, use whatever artifacts you find with the right main stats — don't farm artifact domains until you can guarantee five-star drops. Main stats matter more than substats early on: your DPS characters generally want ATK% Sands, Elemental Damage% Goblet, and CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG Circlet. A roughly 1:2 ratio of CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG is ideal to aim for. For weapons, level up whatever you have — four-star weapons are fine for all content, and three-star weapons like Harbinger of Dawn, Thrilling Tales of Dragon Slayers, and White Tassel are excellent early options that you'll use for months.

What to Avoid as a New Player

Don't level every character — resources become scarce quickly, so focus your investment. Don't use Fragile Resin before AR 45 — save it for efficient artifact farming. Don't neglect your talents — leveling character talents is one of the biggest damage increases available. Don't rush through Archon Quests just to unlock regions — the story is genuinely good and provides context for the world. Don't convert Primogems to Acquaint Fates — Intertwined Fates for limited banners are almost always a better investment. Don't ignore events — limited-time events are the single 最佳 source of Primogems and free resources for new players. Finally, don't compare your account to veteran players — Genshin is a marathon, not a sprint, and every account becomes 强 with time.

多人模式 and Co-op

Co-op unlocks at AR 16 and lets up to four players explore and fight together. Each player brings one character (two in a two-player world), and you can tackle domains, world bosses, and exploration together. Co-op is especially helpful for clearing tough domains before your teams are fully built. You can request to join other players' worlds or set your world to allow join requests. Weekly bosses and certain quests must be done in your own world, but most other content is co-op friendly. The co-op community is generally welcoming to new players — don't hesitate to ask for help.

Moving Forward

Once you've settled into a daily routine and built your first team to level 60-70, your next goals should be clearing Spiral Abyss floors 1-8 for free Primogems, unlocking all seven nations to access their Statues and reputation rewards, and working toward two full teams of four characters each for Spiral Abyss floors 9-12. Genshin Impact is a game that rewards consistency — log in daily, spend your Resin, complete your commissions, and your account will grow steadily. Most importantly, play at your own pace and enjoy the journey through Teyvat.
