Preparation Tips

Resource Management

You want to do well in every Genshin Impact event. Managing your resources helps you win more rewards and make your team stronger. Here are some easy ways to do this: 1. Make a team with damage dealers, supports, and healers. This helps you beat hard fights. 2. Do daily tasks like commissions and quests. You can get Primogems without spending money. 3. Join events and look around new places. You will find big rewards like Primogems and rare items. 4. Go to artifact domains for the best sets. Pick main stats and sub-stats that help your characters. 5. Use reforging and sub-stat upgrades to make artifacts better. 6. Choose weapons that match your characters’ skills and elements. Sometimes, use a weaker weapon until you get a better one. 7. Save your wishes for banners you really want. Use starglitter carefully to make your resources last longer.

Tip: Use the new Artifact Set Locking System to keep your best artifacts safe. This stops you from losing good pieces by mistake.

Event Participation

Events give you new things to do and big prizes. You can do better in events if you follow these tips: - Make teams with strong attackers and good healers. Pyro and Electro characters are great for battles with many enemies. - Practice event minigames like Saurian Treasure Seeker. You will get better and win more prizes. - Get food buffs and healing items before hard fights. - Take your time. Spread out your play so you do not get tired or miss goals. - Farm resources smartly. Use your resin and focus on upgrading artifacts. - Use elemental combos that fit the event’s needs. - Try to finish all Bloomflower Trials and collect Progiston Stones for extra rewards. - Claim every prize, like Primogems, Mora, and Hero’s Wit.

Banner Planning

Planning your pulls helps you get the characters you want. You will not waste Primogems if you plan. Here is what top players do: - Save Primogems for banners with strong characters like Escoffier or Navia. - Look at the banner schedule and plan your pulls for the best times. - Try to get important constellations for your favorite characters. For example, Xiangling’s Constellation 4 makes her Elemental Burst stronger. - Use Fast Equip and build comparison tools to pick the best artifacts. - Some events always give you a character, so you do not need luck every time. - Think about if you want to go for 4-star constellations or save for 5-star ones.
