Genshin Impact, the free-to-play game from miHoYo that not only gives you loads of content at no buy-in, but also managed to emulate that ‘climb anything’ feeling of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, is a fantastic game.
Any new player should find it easy to jump in and get started right away. However, the game is pretty obtuse when it comes to explaining certain aspects. It becomes more complex the further you get into the game, which is why we’ve put together this little beginner’s guide.
Hopefully it helps you power through Genshin Impact without coming up against too many barriers to progress.
Characters
The protagonist of the story is the Traveler, a mysterious being that has been dumped into a world they don’t understand. You get to grips with this character pretty quickly. After all, they’re the one you spend the most time with. However, one of the core features of Genshin Impact is its characters. They even form a part of the game’s monetisation.
Early on in the story, you’ll unlock three additional characters to fill out your party of four. They each have a set weapon and element type. This is true of all characters, but it’s the synergies you create between them that allows you to succeed.
