Q & A

What is the first common mistake that players make in Genshin Impact according to the video?

The first common mistake is not leveling up artifacts, talents, and weapons, which is crucial for increasing a character's damage output more significantly than just leveling up their character level.

Why should players prioritize leveling their weapons, talents, and artifacts in Genshin Impact?

Players should prioritize this because it provides more significant increases to a character's damage than just leveling up their character level, which is especially important in Genshin Impact compared to other games.

What advice is given regarding artifact farming in the video?

The advice is not to farm artifacts until reaching冒险等级45 (AR45), but to level up the best quality artifacts you have using white and green artifact fodder found in the world.

How does the experience transfer work when rolling an artifact into a new one in Genshin Impact?

When you roll a previously leveled artifact into another, the new artifact gains 80% of the experience that was invested into the old artifact, allowing players to maintain most of the artifact experience.

What is the issue with wishing for too many onfield DPS characters in Genshin Impact?

The issue is that players typically only need one to two onfield DPS characters, as using multiple onfield DPS characters in the same team can lead to chaos and inefficient team synergy.

Why are supporting characters like Kazuha or Nita highly valued in Genshin Impact?

Supporting characters like Kazuha or Nita are highly valued because they enhance almost every team combination, providing necessary support to the main DPS characters.

What is the third mistake that Genshin Impact players often make according to the video?

The third mistake is building too many characters at once in the early parts of the game, which leads to a depletion of resources like talent books, experience books, ore, and Mora.

What strategy should players adopt to avoid leveling their World level too quickly in Genshin Impact?

Players should level up at a normal pace, complete the necessary quests to reach Inazuma and Adventure rank 30, and then focus on building their characters strong enough to handle the challenges before ascending their World level further.

What is the significance of completing the Archon Quest 'Reto Escape Plan' in Genshin Impact?

Completing the Archon Quest 'Reto Escape Plan' is significant because it allows access to future events, ensuring players can participate in them and obtain free Primo gems, characters, and weapons.

Why is energy recharge an important stat to build on characters in Genshin Impact?

Energy recharge is important because it allows characters to use their Elemental Burst more frequently, which is often the most powerful part of their kit, and helps maintain effective combat rotations.

What is a general rule of thumb for building energy recharge on onfield DPS characters in Genshin Impact?

For onfield DPS characters, take the cost of their Elemental Burst and divide it by two; this is how much extra energy recharge they need to ideally have their burst ready as soon as it's off cooldown.

🎮 Top 5 Mistakes in Genshin Impact

The video discusses the most common mistakes made by Genshin Impact players, including beginners, mid-level, and even veterans. The first mistake highlighted is neglecting to level up artifacts, talents, and weapons, which are crucial for increasing a character's damage output. It's advised to prioritize these over merely leveling up a character. The video also touches on the importance of not focusing on too many on-field DPS characters, as they require a cohesive team with supporting characters to be effective. The advice is to build a strong on-field DPS character and support them with a few well-chosen support characters rather than having multiple on-field DPS characters that may not synergize well.

🚀 Building Characters Efficiently

This paragraph emphasizes the importance of not building too many characters simultaneously, especially in the early game, as it can lead to a depletion of resources like talent books, experience books, and Mora. It suggests focusing on building one strong on-field DPS character and a few supporting characters. The strategy involves leveling up the main DPS to the maximum and then supporting characters to a slightly lower level. The paragraph also discusses the potential issue of ascending the World level too quickly, which can make the game more challenging before the characters are adequately built. The advice is to level up at a steady pace, complete key quests to unlock future events, and then focus on building characters before advancing the World level further.

10:03

🔋 The Importance of Energy Recharge

The final paragraph addresses the common oversight of not building enough energy recharge on characters, which is critical for utilizing their Elemental Burst abilities effectively. The video explains that energy recharge can be more valuable than other stats like crit rate or attack percent because it ensures characters can use their most powerful abilities when needed. It provides a rule of thumb for calculating the required energy recharge based on the cost of a character's Elemental Burst. The advice is to ensure characters have sufficient energy recharge to maintain effective combat rotations, especially in challenging content like the upper floors of the Spiral Abyss.

Transcripts

I've been helping a lot of people

improve their accounts on stream and I

keep seeing the same mistakes over and

over hey everyone shark here and in this

video we're going to talk about the top

five most common mistakes genin impact

players make these are very common

mistakes that beginners mid-level

players and even veteran players make

all the time I'll go over what these

mistakes are tell you how to avoid them

and give you a way to fix those mistakes

if you found that you've made those

mistakes yourself the first really

common mistake is not level in artifacts

talents and weapons this is pretty

common for newer players who don't

realize the significance of leveling

your artifacts talents and weapons and

most games you want to prioritize

leveling a character's level before

anything else but genin is a bit

different so when I see someone with a

level 40 or 50 character but only a

level 20 weapon I know something's up so

make sure to prioritize leveling your

weapon talent and artifacts because

those will be way more significant

increases to a character's damage than

just leveling up their character level

with a few Niche exceptions these

exceptions are for characters that proc

transformative reactions but if you

don't know what that is and you haven't

leveled your artifacts talents or

weapons just level those first and just

a quick note about artifacts it's not

advised that you farm artifacts until

ar45 plus but you should be leveling the

best quality artifacts you have with the

white and green artifact fodder that you

find around the world and just make sure

to use any good artifact that gives you

a useful main stat like a attack percent

Elemental damage or crit and even if the

artifact substats are bad you can take

the artifact that you leveled put it

into a better artifact you may get later

and when you roll a previously leveled

artifact into another artifact the new

artifact gains 80% of the experience

that you invested into the old artifact

so you still maintain a majority of the

artifact experience you invested into an

old artifact if you roll it into a new

one the second really common mistake

players make is wishing for too many

onfield DPS characters these are

typically called main DPS characters I

like to call them onfield DPS characters

because they're the characters that

basically do very little or nothing if

they're not on the field these are

characters like Ito Xiao yo Mia Soo as

well as several four stars like yon Fe

and Razer the reality is you really only

need about one to two onfield DPS

characters for your entire account

however most of the five starss that

hoyse releases tend to be these onfield

DPS characters the reason you don't want

too many of these characters is because

you typically want one onfield DPS with

three other supporting characters and if

you try to use multiple onfield DPS

characters in the same team some things

can get pretty messy because if you

truly want to make a character shine you

have to take advantage of genin's power

system and you have to do that by

building a cohesive team and a cohesive

team is like a good musical group or a

band if all you have are lead guitars

then you're not going to have the same

rich full sound that you could get by

replacing three of those lead guitars

with drums bass and keys in other words

your onfield DPS characters are a lot

like divas they all want the spotlight

but if you put a bunch of them together

there's just going to be complete chaos

this is also why supporting characters

like kazua or Nita are so highly rated

and really valuable to your account

because they make just about every team

combination better so remember the

onfield DPS characters in genin are

major Divas you don't want to wish for

too many because they don't do well with

each other but if you get three good

supports for them and they do

wonderfully so make sure to not wish for

too many onfield DPS characters unless

you have the supporting characters to

back them up another really big mistake

is not subbing to shark to get really

valuable genin information like guides

Banner reviews and codes for free Primo

gems but that's easily rectified by

hitting the notification Bell on to the

third mistake a lot of genin players

make and this is building too many

characters at once in the early parts of

the game you can kind of level everyone

up and it's not really a big deal but

but when you get towards the middle of

the game you very quickly run out of

resources your talent books your

experience books your ore your Mora it's

all going to be depleted very fast if

you try to build multiple characters at

once this is why you really only want to

build your best characters typically

that's one really strong onfield DPS

that can carry you through the game and

then several supports that are about 10

or so levels behind them this can be a

little bit different if you got a quick

swap team where everyone's doing damage

and you're switching off very quickly

like every couple seconds but typically

you want to take the character that's

staying on field the most time for you

and dealing the most damage and you want

to Max them first this means you

prioritize building that character's

weapon talents artifacts and character

level before you focus on building other

characters and if you were building

other characters you wouldn't take them

to the max level you just take them a

little bit below that way you're not

running too dry on resources for example

let's say that Razer was your main

onfield DPS and that you had supporting

characters which included IAL Ka and

Lila if your level cap was 60 you would

get Razer to level 59 and make sure his

weapon talents and artifacts were the

max level that you could get and then

You' level Kaa Fishel and Lila to level

50 get their talents up increase their

weapon level and make sure their

necessary artifacts were the appropriate

levels even if all of them weren't the

max level now let's say you're building

a quick swap reverse melt team like the

one I put out in a guide for the

strongest fourstar only teams so you're

using k Rosaria shanling and Bennett if

your character level is capped at 60 you

can get all four of these characters to

level 50 plus and then equally level

their talents weapons and artifacts

since they're all contributing damage

and you're switching very quickly

between them it makes sense to spread

your resources a little bit more because

there's no one really staying on the

field for a long time so if you found

that you've built too many characters

and you've run out of resources just

slow down find one good cohesive team

that you like and just focus on building

building them and speaking of slowing

down that's where mistake number four

comes in this mistake is when players

Ascend their World level before they're

ready you can level your adventure rank

so much faster now compared to when I

started and that's Obviously good

because it greatly cuts down on the

amount of grinding players have to do

but it can also be really bad if you

haven't built your characters to take on

the more challenging content of the New

World level and I see this happen to a

lot of mid-level players right around

Adventure rank 35 or so it's not

uncommon for people to play the game for

a few weeks only to realize it got much

harder and now it's not fun because the

monsters are too strong in the Overworld

and the domains and bosses are even

worse here's the strategy I would take

if I wanted to avoid this mistake I

would level up as normal explore collect

the oculi and Treasure Chest do World

quests all at a fairly brisk Pace but

far from speed running the goal is to

get to Inazuma complete the archon quest

reto Escape Plan and be adventuring 30

plus as soon as possible doing this

would basically allow access to any

future events for a lot of Primo gems

free characters and free weapons and

obviously we don't want to miss any of

the free characters or weapons we get

from the events but we have to balance

being fast enough to get there and being

strong enough to build those characters

and weapons in the first place that's

why I would build my characters enough

to get me to the point where I could

complete the archon quest reto escape

plan but then I would stop and not do

any World level Ascension Quest Quest

slow way down and make sure that I built

all my characters so that they were

really strong and ready to handle the

upcoming challenges the reason I'm

choosing to stop here is not because of

difficulty it's because being over

adventuring 30 and completing the archon

quest reto Escape Plan is the highest

threshold I've ever seen for a modern

event and I know there's going to be

someone who's going to say oh no I have

to be ar42 and complete all these story

quests no you actually don't a lot of

events now have the quick start function

which lets you start these events for

free Primo gems characters and weapons

early even if you aren't at the

suggested Advent rank level and haven't

completed the suggested story quests so

by getting to Inazuma completing the

archon quest reto Escape Plan and being

at least adventuring 30 you'll be able

to do any event or at least quick any

event and just a quick note you lose

absolutely nothing by quick starting

events the game makes you think you're

missing something important and that

there'll be some sort of consequence by

using the quick function but there's

literally none you lose absolutely

nothing at all and there is absolutely

no downside to using it there's only the

upside of being able to do the event

right away get your free Primos and free

four stars instead of grinding for 10

Adventure ranks and doing a bunch of

story quests before you can start the

limited time events anyways and this is

exactly why completing the archon quest

reto Escape Plan is a perfect place to

stop and slow down you can do all of the

events get all of the free Primo gems

get all of the free characters and

weapons and the content will start to

get much harder if you don't have your

characters properly built and the great

thing about taking it slow to build up

your characters is that you don't

actually ever lose Adventure rank

experience it just gets banked for you

and saved for later so you could hit

Adventure rank 35 not do the world quest

but keep building all your characters

and you'll see all of your adventure

rank experience will be banked for later

so you could do your adventure rank 35

five Ascension Quest and then as soon as

you complete it you immediately get all

of the adventure rank experience that

you've been saving for this whole time

meaning once you decide to advance you

can jump multiple levels because you've

had all that experience saved for so

long and if you've leveled Your World

level too fast and the enemies are too

hard there's a couple things you can do

the first of which is to go to the

adventurers Guild and lower your World

level by one this will lower it for 24

hours but if you really Blitz through

and still feel like that's not enough

and you're too weak you can always go in

Co-op and ask for help there and if you

need some co-op help you can always join

our Discord and ask for help there just

make sure to tell people what region

you're in and let them know that you

think you leveled a little bit too

quickly and some of the monsters and

domains are a little tough so you need

some extra help getting those Talent

materials weapon Ascension materials or

something like that if you do that I'm

sure there'll be someone who's willing

to help now the final mistake is one I

see happen all the time and at lower

levels it kind of makes sense but I see

veteran players do this all the time

time and that is not building enough

energy recharge on your characters it's

so common for me to see ar55 plus

players that have these really stacked

out characters except they've only got

like 110 or 120% energy recharge

seriously any time I see a Kazo with

less than 150 energy recharge which is

almost all of them it hurts my soul

energy recharge is one of the most

important stats in the game and it can

be more valuable than crit rate crit

damage attack percent em all of that

because a character's Elemental burst is

generally the most powerful thing in

their entire kit and you generally want

to be using it when it's off cool down

but if you can't it just kind of sucks

but more than that it delays your

rotations and then your whole team feels

like it's falling apart you then have to

make a decision on whether you want to

use one burst now that's already ready

or if you want to use a couple bursts

now and wait for this other one because

if you do that it's going to delay the

rotations even further and then you're

going to be even more of a mess than you

already are a lot of players start to

feel this when they get to the upper

floors of the abyss and while they have

no problem maintaining their energy in

the Overworld or in domains when they

get to floors 11 and 12 things start to

become really difficult and they're

suddenly not able to get their bursts up

in time this is because the Overworld

and domain enemies have much less health

and once you reduce an enemy's Health

past a certain point they give you a

flat energy particle these energy

particles massively influence how easy

it is to use your character's Elemental

burst off cool down but in the abyss the

enemy enemies have such high Health that

it takes so much longer to get their

particles so you can't rely on the

enemies as a good source of energy like

you can in the Overworld and in domains

especially if you're fighting something

like Rift towns or specters which give

you very low energy anyways and that's

why it's really important to build the

proper amount of energy recharge on a

character the only problem is you can't

know exactly how much energy recharge a

character needs just by looking at them

but I will give you a good rule of thumb

to help this is by no means absolute but

it does work for a lot of characters and

it's pretty simple if the character is

an onfield DPS take the cost of their

burst and divide it by two and that's

how much extra energy recharge you need

for example alham has a 70 cost burst so

70 divided 2 is 35 meaning he wants an

extra 35% energy recharge or about

135% in total now if a character works

exclusively off field you want to take

the energy cost of their Elemental burst

at about 10 to 20 to that and that's how

much extra energy recharge percent they

need for example Bennett has a 60 cost

Elemental burst you're pretty much using

him off field all the time so you want

to have about 160 to 180% energy

recharge on him again this is by no

means a Flawless system but it will show

you that you're probably building too

little energy recharge on most of your

characters now you may have realize that

a lot of these mistakes revolve around

how you build your characters and how

you spend your resources and if you want

to a more in-depth step-by-step guide on

how to build your account with the most

maximum efficiency and the greatest

increase in damage for the least amount

of resin spent I'll be sure to link that

video at the end of this one I love you

all stay jawsome and I can't wait to see

you in the next one
