Use Barbara and TTDS to support yourself the early game. You'll really appreciate the comfort as you learn the ropes. I ignored her for bennet but had a much rougher time of it cause I just didn't have the resources to take full advantage of him early on, and suffered for it.
For early game, abuse dendro reactions, especially bloom and its derivatives. Players can use something like lisa/dmc/barbara/collei (all free units) to great effect
Instant "Are you Zajef Daily tryna farm clips?" LMAOOO😂
thank you zashoof for tip number 3
ALOY IS THE 6* ACTUALLY
My Tip would be Don't Wish. No character in this game is worth the time and money you'll spend trying to get them. Treat Genshin like an open world exploration game. The characters you get for free are more than enough.
Spending on this game is really not a requirement… But just like any of our hobbies, we spend money… We travel, we go to concerts, we buy collectibles such as figurines, we experience food from different cuisines…
Don't listen to anybody that will tell you traveling is much better than spending money on your game… If collecting characters is what makes you happy, go for it…
But again, spending is not required for you to get strong… Eventually, after several months of playing, you can overcome the abyss with perfect stars without spending…
JUST DO WHAT MAKES YOU HAPPY AND BE SURE YOU KNOW THE LIMIT OF YOUR RESOURCES…
Wait, so the first tip isn’t to uninstall?
peepoLeave
Tips: be a sweaty fav slave
When it comes to paying, it'd be very okay to just limit yourself to Battlepass and Welkin, if you both support Mihoyo and want some benefits to the game. Paying more than that just to get constellations for 5 stars is not really worth it. At all. I've seen an Ayaka C6 do overall less dmg than my own Ayaka C0, all because of artifacts.
I disagree this is an amazing game, not garbage 😅
Bro baizu is broken
Tip #1: play a real game instead
87k primos?! Holy shit, Zajef.
my #1 tip: READ WHAT THE ABILITIES OF YOUR CHARACTERS DO ^^
Why there is amogus at 6:15
Strong disagree on the starglitter tip. Wishes for building pity is way more important then wasting it on characters you gonna get eventually anyways
yippppeeeee
Aaaah, I see, so in the shop I should get the Acquaint Fates as well every month, I had 3000 of the currency to get them and was wondering if I can get both instead since I know I'm going to be going for 5 star constellations at some point so I'm going to be pulling and saving forever haha.
This applies to the constellations you can get in the shop too, right? I assume you only get the wishes when you have maxed constellations of 4 stars you want and have nothing else to spend on.
As someone who routinely spends stardust on enemy drops out of laziness…. it hasn't bitten me in the foot yet!
I wanna throw in my two cents here: If you have a gaming mouse(meaning a mouse with side buttons that you can reprogram the function in a software) re bind you scroll click into one of those side buttons, and whenever you're exploring a new area/region just spam the shit out of that button. You will be amazed at how much stuff you can miss, especially those mora investigation points that give 10-20k mora each
One of the best tips for beginners is to remember that talents and weapons do exist and can be upgraded making a big difference, people in early game tend to think that ascending characters and adding some 3 or 4 star artifacts is all you need to improve.
Third tip is key. Min-maxing should only be done if it makes the game fun for you. Wasting resin and maxing Xinyan is absolutely fine.
You can fix your account later when you play long enough. Even the worst account can still probably clear 90-95% of the game.
Best tip: Never play this game. Fun is just at start but you will challenge every stages. There you will know how stupid Genshin devs are.
Spreadsheet of upgrading priority was quite useful for me
BEST TIP FOR beginners: don't play genshin
buying the paimons bargains characters doesnt seem that smart in the long run tbh, especially since these characters are pretty likely given out for free: all of the liyue 4stars for lantern rite for example. And you already get a copy of xiangling, lisa, amber, kaeya, noelle, barbra for free – but sure getting some of their cons would be nice for people who like them. in the end the only characters you will have to pull for are fischl and razor, both of which are good for certain cases, sure, but not really worth throwing away pretty much 7 wishes for which you could get a character or weapon you REALLY want instead and raise your pity for any 5stars you might want in the future.
i highkey regret buying fischl when people kept telling me that she is amazing in dendro teams and easy to build and play, but i just dont like her playstyle and later i got her on one banner 10 times – almost in a row – and couldve instead maybe gotten the characters i really really wanted with those 32 starglitter (still dont have rosaria on my main acc but i love her playstyle and main her on my second account even)
but then again that's only if you are planning to play for a longer time and are ok with waiting for events and rated up banners that benefit your teams
Lmao he knows 😂 and that laugh ❤
Love that you added chapters allowing us to navigate to specific topics easier
ive been playing for 3 years but i feel like im gonna learn something new by watching this so i will. will update
Just found out this channel is unofficial, don't even care as long as he's okay with it existing. With work and chores I just cant tune in all the time and his main channel doesn't upload as often. If this channel's gone I'll be immediately on the hunt for a replacement
Tip for new players:
Get Ganyu for open world she will carry you till AR60
Try get anything that run fast / Ayaya / Mona / Yelan
Get gadget from Inazuma commisions for 30% speed
Build national team ( Xiangling , Xinqiu , Benett + Cath weapon from fishing ).
Build another team of your favourite , probably some dendro easy shit like pull Nahida + Fischl + Cookie Shinobu / Any other Electro + shieldbot/healer
I like Zajef, and I do understand that when he says “don’t spend money on this shitty game” he does it in order to prevent people, especially newer players, to spend insane amounts of money on things they won’t really need to enjoy the game, but I think it’s also quite deceiving.
If you know gacha games, you know they rely on people spending money in order for the game to thrive and to keep production going. Genshin is surely going great so no one should feel obliged to give money to hoyoverse because they don’t really need it, on the other hand, spending money is a way to support something you enjoy and to get the most out of it.
If you like beer, you’re going to spend money on it. If you enjoy riding a bike, you will spend money on it; the amount of money will always be correlated with how much money you make and how much you enjoy a certain hobby or thing. If you like genshin, and you want to support the game while gaining some nice benefits, spend money on it.
The welkin moon and the battle pass especially are reasonably priced and give you so much bang for your bucks. Of course you shouldn’t go overboard and spend more than you can afford, but as long as you’re talking pocket money you shouldn’t feel restrained into not spending any money on the game. That’s just bullshit and honestly I think it’s also one of the things that make player burn out so common in genshin.
If you don’t spend money then you’ll value freemogems so much you are going to login even when you don’t feel like it just in order to clear events and do dailies. I’d rather waste 20 to 50 dollars instead of having to login every day and do dailies just so I can get 60 primos. My time and my enjoyment are worth way more than a couple hundred euros per year. I know that’s something extremely personal and related to your economic situation but I am really tired of hearing the “don’t spend money on the game” comment all the time. It’s so superficial and it clearly comes from a perspective of young people who value money way more than their time. Learn how to manage money, use your brain, and stop adhering to this AA mentality of all or nothing. Self control is a real skill and something you should aim to conquer in your life.
Some people do have problems controlling themselves but for the majority of the population it’s not really an issue, you can waste a few bucks here and there and not get sucked into a crippling gambling addiction.
My advice would be, save your primos for a 5* carry unit that you enjoy. It will carry your account. As someone who struggled at ar45 with ningguang hitting for 200 basic attacks you guys have no idea how it feels to pull your first 5* Ayaka, who without artefacts, just ascended can one shot anything in the overworld… It is game changing… On the other hand, characters like Xiangling, who are broken when heavily invested into, playing Xiangling with 20% er is not something I would recommend… At this point you might as well play her as physical dps with white tassle or something… The point is that characters scale in a very different way early to late game, but Zajeff already mentioned that
