The First and Last Time I Ever Play Genshin TCG

kinda surprised java didn't wait till the last few hours to speedrun this event in agony, character development tbh

[@Herrscher_Of_Tuna]

JAVA THERE IS A TCG RAIDEN CARD 1 Go to Cat Tail's Tavern 2 Go on the board 3 Press "invite character" 4 Select Raiden Shogun 5 Beat her AND NOW YOU HAVE THE RAIDEN CARD 😅

[@lebulldog6757]

Just to say, you can skip the Itto fight. Also, if you don't play the TCG minigame, you can still R5 the weapon, and you'll just lose some ascension materials

[@pookie_ender]

The fact that you beat itto whenever I couldn’t makes me want to cry

[@noidea5927]

Tbh when I saw the cards I was just like 'oh.. we're not taking revenge here' But then I just remembered our opponent was Itto so it went smoothly

[@numaruh]

varanara still better

[@oliviaaargh]

It's not 👍

[@Boarbatrice]

Both Paimon cards are so good. One gives essentially 4 omni dice in exchange for 3 normal dice, and the other converts normal dice into Omni dice for no cost.

[@KromeLazarus]

I am generally fond of every aspect of this game. TCG, Abyss, Events, you name it. But Teapot is the one I least put my time on, since I let some Furnishing done and get Gifts for the Primo.

[@moony488]

Even teapot I spent days doing Minecraft and building towns lmao, ig that's why I feel burnt out I've done everything that could be done

[@T-t047]

If you ever feel useless, remember that Java still doesn´t know there´s a raiden shogun card available..

[@louloudaki_]

i love genius invokation tbh and the paimon card you tried to throw away is rly good you replace 2 of your dice with omni dice

[@adrianaasha]

Not Java living his Cyno moment with all those jokes 😂

Collei Lily

[@Sencifouy]

I Cyno problem with that

[@PrototypeBobaFett]

This update made me much more invested in TCG ngl. Considering they added my two best girls, Amber & Ei, and my main, Xiao. The second the servers went live after maintenance I beelined to Mondstadt to get my hands on Amber & Ei lmao

[@luvfromnilla]

Pretty sure Cyno took over Java's mind a little here because of all the card jokes... ♡

[@xravenexe]

as someone who adores tcg, this is gonna be fun to watch

[@IRux2]

there is a raiden card, you just need to defeat her in tcg by going to the billboard in catstail and selecting invite charater, scrolling down and inviting raiden

[@Sloth-tr7bd]

I just love the fact that the event forces you to complete the tutorial for TCG, but to unlock the best rewards(which is the weapon, it's refinement material and a crown) you don't need to play TCG even once lmao. Heck I bet you can finish the event quests too if you care about them without TCG(tho not sure, I just grabbed the rewards and dipped)

[@truegodofdestruction]

U kinda have the same reaction I do when it comes to TCG, I waited until 2 weeks to even start the event yesterday so I can also get the welcome back rewards for the first time ever. Just to have enough primos for Alhaitham, I did the first story event then did all the events and got everything I wanted from it. Only part I skipped was the TCG one and played once to get the Xiao card then quit TCG just to finish the story now I'm done with the event forever. Just waiting for the Vagabond event ngl, loved that event.

[@originriver377]

I love tcgggg it's so underrated, also there is indeed a raiden shougun card

[@originriver377]

You also get 600 freemos for leveling up

[@Boarbatrice]

And it’s so incredibly busted. Probably the best character card in the game.

[@anyanP]

I’d say there is two reasons: First one is that it’s almost completely separated from overall genshin experience. You can’t get cards for exploration, you don’t get cards as quest rewards. Almost all NPC players are concentrated in big numbers in cities. It feels forced. Second one is game itself. It’s kind of fun, but when you’re tired from Genshin’s usual rng bullshin, having a game mod that has not usual for TCG one layer of rng but two - with cards and dices - it can be frustrating. Like, in a vacuum it’s a good idea, but specifically in context of genshin thatks but no thanks

[@ellie-blue]

I just personally find that type of card games pretty boring and I’m bad at them

[@moe14lord]

i mean if you find TCG fun then some people might not, it's the same logic here another thing is how the characters mention the game, unlike for example how we refer to genshin impact as just "genshin", they say the entire "Genius Invokation TCG" phrase almost all the time imagine all your family, friends, even strangers saying the whole phrase every time they talk to you, that is 11 syllables wasted 😵 that is one of the reasons i usually avoid playing TCG

[@Galilee9]

I dont blame you for never wanting to play it again tcg can be okay but sometimes it's just too much

[@akirasstories9517]

Ik this video is all about TCG, but it's so unfair how he got Thundering Pulse early, while I've gone 2 times into pity and got Yae's catalyst 💀

[@c6xiaohaver]

Lmao can we trade? I did a random 10 pull and got pulse when I don’t have yoi and had just gotten yae

[@Sencifouy]

I had to go to pity for Yae's catalyst -- which I got ! Actually, I have to hard pity for every 5 star of the game, ever

[@Drave_Jr.]

Java winning beating Itto on the first day of playing TCG is hilarious. So many people were complaining about him being too tough with his stupid deck. I managed a win as well.

[@kylegreen6711]

TCG’s fine. Not everyone’s cup of tea, sure, and I’d rather have a few other things, but it’s fine. Fun to play once in a while :)

[@skelly2278]

ima be honest i barely ever play it, and i'm not really interested in it... but then again it's a java video and i am obligated to watch anything he uploads. it's a part of the vow i took when i subscribed. (yeah i bet you didn't read the terms of sevice before subscribing did you?)

[@ErrantObserver]

I'm with ya, Java. This event was pain for me, even in spite of the card game playing being kept to the minimum. I started to try and throw games I had to participate in for primos, but still managed to win some...Then there's Ayaka... she still managed to infuriate me despite not wanting to care about winning...

[@riceboy3528]

you really made us 'deal' with those puns...

[@alyxbeauchamp7883]

So I really really hated the extended tutorial. But I DO like the game quite a lot. I like that the event isn't against real people and just AI as well

[@mind_pieces]

I really don't like tcg too (and long story quests) so thank you for somehow motivating me to go play the event🙏

[@pookie_ender]

Also you get Raiden shogun card in the TCG battle in Inazuma. Also congrats on thundering pulse

[@8niidle13]

I agree so much with your rant java. I haven't done the event yet and might not do it because I reaaaally don't want to touch tcg

[@XCS_Gatcha]

I quite enjoy the TCG Also, if you do a few games you CAN get raiden, she is new as well

[@sugarcubegirlかわいい]

8:46 easy, Tucer got into it, and really wanted very particular rear cards, so Childe being the good big brother couldn’t say no!

[@simply_syrnik]

The event was only a huge promotion in actual text of the story. Whoever we meet tells us lit the same thing: “I love playing Genius Invocation TCG. That helps to make new friends and experience the joy of battling with them!” And by that story was quite boring, but the actual mini games were okay. Mostly same as always but with a card challenge this time surely. Still I kinda like to kill time playing these cards so I was okay with it but I prefer events with lore and a cool story behind. Btw you could skip playing with Itto just by picking another option. And actually 11:52 you can get Raiden card literally by playing with her at the Cats Tail

[@chuhej2780]

I tried the event and the collei one on serious showdown was quite literally impossible for me so I gave up after like 5 losses in a row

[@glam4663]

java i love your commentary but even that can't keep me watching a video about the event i forced myself to get through for the same reason you did 😔 i'll see ya next vid buddy

[@TamerChris]

I did the tutorial quest in the patch it was out but I totally understand the feeling for those who didn't and had to sit through it, on top of all the story in this event. And you don't even get to play your own deck in this event at all. What was the point of Quick Start anyway if they don't allow certain prerequisite quest to be skipped? Mondstadt to Sumeru archon quest is referenced, even if a player never complete those, but not the fact the Traveller knows how to play the card game without the tutorial quest?

[@karanmotiani318]

Yeah, archon cards got added this patch

[@anna_revesz]

You can indeed get a Raiden Shogun card, if you play just a LiTtLe bit MoRe... TCG is not that bad tho, once you have a powerful deck, it is very enjoyable! So if you have time, you could experience some boom-shaka-laka Also I love these puns altough I don't understand some of them. Also I did think that Cyno is the Card Snatcher as well...

[@moony.kaedehara]

I feel like I'm the only one who's addicted to TCG lmao

[@lightning_11]

The way you're supposed to get the Raiden shogun card is that you just invite her to a game, beat her (not that hard), and then you get the card _with constelations_ for free, no limited time event required!

[@neoinfinity5204]

Thanks I was worried I would skip this event if i can’t even get the crown without playing some cards game but so far it’s simple enough.

[@shakuganfan99]

Bruh they locked it behind the TUTORAL, they want you to at least try the card game to see if you like it, so your Spiral Abyss comparison DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE.
