How do I get better at Genshin Impact?
Start by treating the game’s elements as part of your combat plan, not just visual effects. HoYoverse’s official Genshin Impact page puts it plainly: “Manipulating the various elements is the key to defeating powerful enemies and solving challenging puzzles.” In practice, notice which elemental abilities you have available, try them against different enemies, and consult the in-game Tutorials Archive when you want to understand a reaction.

How should I build my team?
Choose characters whose abilities and combat styles complement one another. When reviewing your roster, consider these factors together:
- Elemental interaction: Which elements can your characters apply, and what opportunities might that create? Use the Tutorials Archive’s reaction explanations to learn the mechanics rather than guessing at formulas.
- Ability coverage: Think about what each character contributes to the party and whether their abilities work well together.
- Your roster and preferences: Make choices from characters you actually own and enjoy. Advice that assumes a specific character or a universal “best team” may not fit your account.
The archive also includes equipment references for weapons and artifacts, including set bonuses. Check those explanations when comparing items, and confirm details in-game rather than treating a general recommendation as a rule for every character.
How do elemental reactions work?
Use the Tutorials Archive as your reference for reaction explanations. HoYoverse describes the archive as covering Elemental Reactions alongside enemies, system tips, and adventure guidance. Learning the in-game descriptions helps you understand what your own party can do without relying on a one-size-fits-all rotation or an unsupported claim that one reaction is always best.

How can I make exploration more productive?
Set a nearby objective, then use the map and visible landmarks to guide your route. HoYoverse’s exploration guidance identifies opening chests, finding Elemental Oculi, and unlocking Waypoints as activities that contribute to regional Exploration Progress.
- Unlock an unvisited Waypoint when it makes sense for your route.
- Investigate visible chests and Elemental Oculi instead of passing them by automatically.
- Check the map and your regional progress to decide what to pursue next.
These are useful priorities, not a guaranteed complete or optimal route. Let your immediate objective and the area you are exploring determine what to do next.
Should I use a controller or change my controls?
Use the input method that feels comfortable and is supported on your platform. HoYoverse’s Version 4.0 notice documents customizable keyboard and controller assignments, as well as gyroscope support for specified controller and platform combinations. That does not establish that every controller works on every platform, or that a controller is required to succeed.

What if the game runs poorly?
Check current official requirements for your platform before troubleshooting. HoYoverse’s surfaced PC FAQ is dated September 2020, so its requirement and controller-compatibility statements are historical rather than a dependable guide to current support. It recommends checking requirements, lowering graphics settings to improve performance, and ensuring enough storage and a stable connection; treat those as general troubleshooting steps, not confirmation of today’s specifications.
