Quick tip for newer players that feel like the teams they are playing are not doing enough damage for some content: Consider building a Hyperbloom team. This will be made of at least one each of a dendro, hydro and electro character (you can use anemo, geo, cryo or double up on one of the other elements to fill out the team). You want your: electro character to be kuki shinobu/raiden shogun > electro traveler/razor > dori/fischl/yae miko. any hydro character of choice, ideally xingqiu/yelan/kokomi/barbara any dendro character, ideally nahida > alhaitham > dendro traveller/collei/yaoyao To build the team, level your electro character of choice as high as they will go, and put as much elemental mastery on them (and some energy recharge if you are using razor, electro MC or dori). This can be done by using EM on the sands, goblet and circlet. You can use Energy Recharge sands and favonius weapons if you are struggling to get your burst up. A standard build with good energy recharge on the rest (not very important) and you're good to go. Hyperbloom gives you by far the most damage for the least investment and can be used to deal with particularly difficult content.

[@Basedbrawler]

This would be perfect if my fischl/collei weren’t both in the 40’s. I think I’ll go with dendro traveler because people say that’s the best element for him/her Edit: Nvm, I use Tighnari now

Since when do you play this game? I created my first account (it's my only account) 1 year ago but I instantly dropped it because I was too stupid or my brain wasn't braining and I couldn't do the first task💀(I normally don't play anime type of games of games with power system like genshin. Yesterday, I downloaded it again, and while it was loading, I watched KZbin videos about genshin and didn't understand more than half of it😅 I have a feeling I'm going to mess up my account

[@miuletzmitzu6641]

@@ashab4444 Don't worry about messing up your accout too much. Play for fun, but do try to keep a few materials for later. For example, try to keep at least 15 fragile resin at all times in case u really want a character. Try to wish ONLY on characters you find fun at the beginning, don't wish the second you got 160 primos unless you actually like the character. Those are my only 2 pieces of advice, as those are what easily "ruin" accounts on genshin. Look at more videos of the characters and see what dps you like, and try to form a team around them (like hu tao/xingqiu/bennett/zhongli). And don't waste primos on standard banner no matter what!!

[@annaairahala9462]

@@No__Vanity If you're that worried about wasting resources and levelling up too quickly but still don't have a banner you want to wish on, just wait at any of the ARs that require you to complete the domain to progress. AR 25, 35, 45, or 50 are all stoppable points with 35 and 50 being both solid stopping points. As for AR 35 you don't have to level up too much to beat everything at that level so you won't be wasting resources on characters you don't plan to play long term, and for AR 50 everything is unlocked at that point so you won't be missing any in game content. It is much better to be patient than gamble for something from standard that you may or may not even like. Taking a break until there's a banner you're interested in is not bad either; the game isn't going anywhere and you aren't missing out on anything if you'd otherwise be spending it on standard banner.

[@Theonlyoneclyde]

Hey. I just wanted to say thank you so much for making your previous Genshin guide for beginners video. I am a returning player that started playing back in 2020 but I stopped. About 4 weeks ago, I decided to give Genshin another shot on a brand new account. I watched your previous guide and let me tell you, it helped me. In just a matter of 3-4 weeks I was able to get from AR 1 to AR 46 and was able to save a ton of resources all thanks to your tips and advice. Thank you so much for the work that you’ve done for this community and I look forward for more Genshin content from you.

[@demonchildrobin86]

I also recommend doing ores and artifact routes. Even at a lower AR you can check for routes prior to Inazuma and Sumeru to get extra resin free artifact fodder. It helps a lot. I still do them daily 2+ years in so I can level up more and different artifacts.

[@whyismynametaken123]

This should be pinned imho. The artifact farming route is REALLY annoying to do at first, but once you have it down it's really quick and it's a HUGE boost to your account. You can sell these artifacts for mora or use them to level your artifacts. Eventually you'll get to a point where you have a bunch of artifacts that have high potential, but you lack the mora / fodder artifacts to level them up.

[@MuhaamadAreeb]

Bro no one does those . Best tip , get a life and play no more than a couple hours a day and try to enjoy the quests , you'll have way more recourses

[@lean9349]

I think that if you do quests and world missions while exploring around you'll get all that you need. Farming routes for artifacts is so annoying and isn't effective in my opinion. I prefer to buy them from npc

[@demonchildrobin86]

@@whyismynametaken123 Yeah, exactly and it doesn't take much time. You don't even have to do it everyday. It's resin and mora free. Better than jumping between flower beds in Mondstadt and having a copium wall full of unleveled artifacts because one doesn't have the fodder. But I know the majority of genshin players doesn't do them.

Again thanks a lot, I really appreciate your guide and your commitment to helping newer players. Keep it up, you're amazing and thanks again

[@kmo9790]

Great update. I used the previous guide when I started a few months ago. The only thing I would mention to new players is that when you get to AR 40+ you should have a handle on the game and should be able to adjust recommendations to your team comp. For example if you are running hyperbloom you may want to hold on to a 4 star EM sand, goblet, or circlet over getting a non em 5* upgrade

I'm soo mad that I didn't find your previous guide before I started. I'm a relatively new player and I made the critical mistake of spreading my ressources way to much but my biggest mistake was to raise my world lvl way too fast. Now I'm a little stuck. I can't clear my domains because I'm not strong enough and I got stuck on signora fight because i wasn't strong enough and the fight was at world lvl 6. I'm slowly fixing my account thx to your guides Shark. I implore all new player; follow this or you will struggle.

[@legojoker7552]

The domains/etc. aren't actually the problem with progressing your overworld level. You can always choose to just play on a lower difficulty of the domain, nothing changes. The only difference is *access* to the higher level of the domain. What *is* unavoidable is the overworld content becoming harder, if that is your issue. Domains and world bosses can always be played on lower difficulty.

Be careful on waiting too long before finally doing an ascension quest. Every second World Level is gated behind those quests. The ones in between happen automatically. If you delay the Ascension Quest long enough, you’ll jump two World Levels instead of one.

Great video! As a person who ascended my world tier at AR35 (after watching the previous iteration of this video to get there), holy shit am I grateful for all the good Samaritans who were willing to carry me through boss fights for a few hours to help me "catch up." I didn't realize the experience was banked, or I'da never done that to begin with. But now my teams are a pretty well-built and I can down bosses in a "reasonable" amount of time, and I just blast through enemies out in the wild. Domains up to 69 aren't an issue for me, but it was rough getting there. Everything feeling like dark souls can get kinda frustrating. So, lesson-learned, as soon as my WT ascended to 5 on its own, I dropped it back down to 4, but it looks like I can still hit the WT5 character/weapon/talent caps, so I can still progress my characters without everything stupidly difficult. This is the sort of shit people should have said in their "10 things I wish I knew before starting Genshin Impact" videos that all seem to cover the same stuff, while failing to mention obtuse shit like this.

[@mormed]

i just started a new account because my old account was lost and I have been waiting for an updated version for SO LONG, thanks a LOT

[@pr0ntab]

Hi, this guide is great and paced out wonderfully! I wanted to make an important comment based on some experiences starting and running alt accounts: I don't agree with pausing at AR45 and not ascending the world level because: 1) you will be farming bosses a lot at this point in ascending your team and you get double the chance of 5* artifact drops at WL6 vs WL5, which is crucial to reduce the artifact farming burden. You also get one extra green crystal chunk on average which has also been a limiting factor to ascend two teams past 70 2) since the next cap is at AR50 and won't automatically go higher then if things get too hard you can switch commissions to Mondstadt, get coop help, or reduce your world level back to 5 temporarily to deal with feeling too weak or stressed out. So there should be no barrier to just giving it a shot 3) Enemy loot is so much better at WL6 in some regions vs 5 and this will also be a huge time sink otherwise, for example when raising weapons to 80 4) Eventually getting to AR50 is important for gathering talent materials since its inefficient to farm them at the lower difficulty levels and your books from quests or chests will be long gone by now. Its about 33% more resin efficient and every bit counts to hit talent levels 8 and up.

[@stribijev]

Can't agree more. And there are even more reasons: 1) For good artifact/materials farming at AR45, you will have to co-op anyway, so it does not matter if the world level is 5 or 6 (there will be people who will be glad to help), 2) I swear I did not get guaranteed 5* artifacts in the Emblem domain before completing the world ascension quest. Once I just got a 4* twice, I decided to increase the world level as soon as possible. Maybe I did something wrong, but that was the reason for me to increase the world level.

AR50 is a much better pausing point, yeah

I literally just discovered your first video about this the other day and watched it. It was extremely insightful, even to me at AR58. For example, I finally understood the trap of leveling up your characters from 80 to 90. I long knew that the exp books and mora needed to pass from 80 to 90 is almost the same amount needed to pass from 1 to 80, but I didn't know just how measly the power increase is. Really, really not worth it unless their your favorite character (I mean, there's no way i wouldn't level up my Raiden to 90, even if I make a clown of myself) I really look forward to watch the updated video this afternoon, when I'm a little more relaxed.

@@bonjovi1354 best thing is to concentrate to maxing talents, weapon and level first. You can keep going up to getting the first adventure rank quest - that's when the world level jumps up and makes everything harder (it's to scale with higher level units, but if talents and all of that isn't maxed out first, it's way too hard). Take all the rewards you can, just ensure that you've maxed out at least your core four main units before doing the adventure rank quest. That's my experience anyways.

I usually keep the game up to date and log in every now and then when I see twitch giving away primos (I was able to grab Lynette this way lol) but anyway log story short. I had just hit AR 30 when this video came across my home page, and thank you it did. I was just blasting through quests, exploration, and accessions like they were nothing and once the world increased at 30 I got smacked in the face (not by much but enough for me to realize something was up) I had just not realized that even though I was doing all this farming, I needed to actually use the items I was gathering as well instead of just horde then for when I have 5 star gear and weapons, I was also more focused on artifacts then my weapons. I was essentially neutering all of my characters, after switching to what you said to do for AR 30 - 35 I'm coasting nicely right now as I explore Narukami Island. Thank you so much you have no idea the help your guides have given me as a new player

[@POTATOLOVERRRR]

Hyperbloom does the most damage in early game so i recommend a hyperbloom team ( a reaction when bloom hydro+dendro comes into contact with electro) the best character for this is (in terms of electro) kuki if you dont have her use lisa (or razor but he requires his burst/ult for hyperbloom which isnt practical) for the dendro options its nahida but yoa yoa and collei(which you can get for free by completing floor 4 chamber 3 of spiral abyss)are also good and for hydro barbara is the best for early game but xinqui becomes better than her in late game since he requires his burst.

Heres a proper comment: Been playing the game for over 5 Months with this guide It really have helped me through out each stages until ar 45 (Im AR 45 right now) I have never struggled as a F2P and a Newbie because of this guide I thought I was just being like everyone else but a couple co-op games later there are really players that makes mistakes as sharkh3art highlighted even at higher AR Levels If you want to reduce stress and also flex on your friends this video is literally the one and you're lucky that you stumbled on this

Still holds up till this day as fontaine is released

Just the comment I was looking for. Did you also put on hold a world ascension quest at AR35 until you built a team?

[@feelthunder123]

@@hoobabooba3034 yup I put the ascension quest on hold at ar 35 before i proceeded made sure my main dps was well built as the video reccomends tried to build my other characters in my main team one by one, and when it feels like i can kill the enemies at ease then 8 did the ascension quest Though after that you will be stuck at ar 45 the longest time for farming artifacts and resources for character ascension materials Hope this helps!

I had many friends telling me not to waste my time focusing on a toon I enjoyed. I found I really liked ningguang when I first started and I saw her gameplay. I was dead set having her as one my main world players and dove in when I received her. I managed to do F2P and got her BiS weapon, and got even luckier getting c6 of her while exploring the game and earning primos. To this day ningguang is my comfort toon, I love her and I thrive on the character. I still have raised eyebrows when I tell people Geo is my favorite. I have zhongli that shields her more and Bennet to heal that is c6. And then I flex my other 5 and 4 stars in as needed. I got very lucky on F2P, it’s made me appreciate the game in a slower pace, read the lore, and just go through the dialogue. Genshin is my cozy game, I min max now and I have plenty of 5 stars. But even now evolving after all that time, the game is still so damn refreshing cause I didn’t rush it.

[@Mike-hp7lv]

Very well put together, and I finally feel like I have an idea on how to gain power, I went in GI blind and rushed world ascension, Got to world level 6 before I realized how outleveled I was by the regular mobs and noticed I only had one char above 60, no talent upgrades, and half my artifact slots weren't filled

[@leptonyx1129]

The first guide was really great Shark. It's the main reason why I subscribed to your channel! You made really great points in that guide and you followed through here as well; bravo! Definitely agree on the AR35 slow down. It was good to self-limit by then. What I really want to know is where you're getting those sweet Genshin Impact animations from?

[@dramamoon6656]

Great guide, I recently started a F2P account near the end of May to challenge myself since my spending account is pretty boring and easy. It's nice to understand the numbers behind the prioritization. I'm AR 31 and could've made a few adjustments along the way, but managed to have enough resources and previous knowledge to be close to where I should be. The one question I have is regarding weapons. Is it better in your opinion to use any 4* weapons over 3* weapons, regardless of their additional stat or skill/refinement level? Like for example, I've been running Slingshot on Fischl since the start, I've got it to R5 and I like the crit rate it gives, but I have the free Fav Bow and have been debating if it makes sense to change.

[@Nakama03]

Pretty much - level up weapon - Ascend character - talents - level up character - artifacts to a decent level until AR 40-45 then u get your sets (just decent artifacts u will need to replace them later) and upgrade them to +20

[@sacta]

Amazing guide! Or... well, I ASSUME it's amazing! I have to try it properly first, but I'm glad to finally have a guide on 'what to do' first, optimal or not. I didn't realize how important accessories were. I assumed they were a 'optimizing your build' kinda thing, but they truly beef up the heck out of your character.

[@nicolemh_]

Another thing to add during a lower AR is that you should definitely spend all that time hoarding materials. I'm talking ores, books, regional materials, mob drops, boss drops, and even crystalflies! I was too scared to face Raiden for the first time when I went to Inazuma so that's all I did before doing the ascension quests. Present me at AR59 is so so thankful for that cause I don't really have to use much of my fragile resin for books, mora, or other domains and I can just focus on artifacts to make my characters stronger

[@DekaFathurRahman]

or just try to maximize eploration in some region, it will help alot

[@KhaPiano]

Your previous guide has been a holy grail and I’m so glad I’ve been using it to make sure I’m on track when I started playing last month. This video came at a perfect time cause I’m literally approaching AR 35 so your top about slowing down saved me a huge potential migraine ❤️

If you have bad luck with your gacha rolls, some of these tips aren't really that helpful. You'll be pretty much forced to level up and build on most of the free characters you get to farm materials or even artifacts.

I'm a new player start playing for about 3.5 months ago. I did used SHarkheart guide in starting Genshin, and it was a really big help for me. I just reach AR 55 world 8 at couple days ago, 2 5 star chars (Ayaka n Tighnari) lvl 90. By no means it's never smooth sailing, as I'm still struggling beating Spiral floor 10 chamber 3. But this guide really help me to enjoy the game even more. Thx so much Sharky hehehe

[@Jenkm8]

Played Genshin for about 2 weeks now, currently AR 43 with most of the archon questlines fully completed (mondstadt, liyue, inazuma & sumeru) and a ton of world quests + side quests/events. What I would definitely recommend doing earlier on - Farm EVERYTHING and pick up every item from every fallen enemy and any food, flowers, world objects along the way. Only use your daily resin and save up your resin refills until later on when you need ascension parts. Focus on 1-2 characters as your main dps and a support-dps/healer, main dps can be a wide variety of people but I was very fortunate to get Keqing early on and she absolutely dominates in a hyperbloom/quicken team. Bennett is also a very good 4-star to try to get early on as he works in all roles. Kaeya is a really good free character as well don't underestimate what he can do. Dendro or Electro traveller is good if you don't have any other choices. Barbara is a good free healer + water character. Don't bother much with farming *good roll* artifacts until at least AR 40 as that's when you unlock 5-star domains. The 4-stars you'll find along your journey will work well until then just make sure to upgrade them. Most importantly, have fun and use characters you enjoy.

[@Eden21425]

Wow, are 47 here and I did almost everything wrong and was wondering why i do so little damage. Thanks for all the advice.

[@samirSch]

Remember: just because you are stuck outside Inazuma, doesn't mean you should skip valuable characters like Raiden, Ayaya, Kazuha, Kokomi or whatever you fancy. Reruns take months while the story quests take no more than a week, if you don't ignore it. Get them if you like and use something else until you can build them. Also don't bother with artifact farming until AR45 (when you can do highest lvl dungeon version) but keep a few generic sets updated, so your character doesn't become weak naked. I neglected it because in overworld its easier, but once I started a dungeon with my naked toons they all got rekt easily, so I had to depend on online coop and leech people to farm the sets I needed. You can fodder these sets with 80% of XP spent into new ones, but don't spread that into multiple, weaker sets.

[@ColderHeat_]

upvoting this, not recomending Raiden is weird as she`s still arguably one o the best units in the game

[@RedBikelane]

I'm in the same situation, although I got Mona. I have been using Beidou, but she's slowly falling off and seems better suited as sub dps. I really wonder who's better to pull for

[@brendaahgsdjhga]

Kazuha

[@somerandomguy340]

Kazuha the goat. But seriously once I got him it made world exploration soo much easier. I can just climb mountains easily and can group enemies to easily dispatch them. Though he isn't really a main dps.

[@Xyzeuse]

im saving up for kazuha and i spent money on the primogems 😭

[@EvilQwack]

Kazuha is primarily a support character and can fit and buff almost any team. Don't go for Alhaitham just now as he needs a lot of support from other characters. Also, if you couple Kazuha with Viridescent Venerer artifact set, he will help your team shred through any quantity and quality of enemies you face.

[@bonanzaguy04]

Some feedback on the video piece: the blue progress bar is super distracting. Personally I don't even think it's needed for the entire video like this (I do like it when content creators add it during the sponsored sections), and especially because of the chapter feature it just feels really unnecessary. That aside, the fact that there's a gap between the bottom of the screen and the bar makes it very hard to ignore. I think if it was smaller (height wise) and at the bottom of the screen, it would be much more tolerable if you feel like you need to include it. Otherwise, great content as always. Your previous version of this video helped me a lot when I was starting out.

my method, plan my composition for the upcoming character ~ farm decent artifact ~ farm primogems for atleast 160 pullsl ~ farm mora,exp, talent, ascension and available weapons ~ wait for months or years for the rerun ~ get the character, upgrade and pop off. exactly what i did on kazuha,nahida and alhaitham.

[@andrealcenenrico3751]

optional: farm IRL to get bp weapons added in your arsenal with just r1 , you can also buy welkin for extra bonus daily. other microtransactions are not worth it and not recommended spending hundreds of your hard earn money in a incomplete content less game.

​@@andrealcenenrico3751hello, I just started playing and I'm currently AR18, I managed to pull Jean on standard banner and I got enough primos to pull for Kazuha's banner Should I pull for it? Also I don't know what to do with my Original Resins

[@andrealcenenrico3751]

@@JeyC_ Yes, I mean kazuha is the most versatile unit in the game, aside from that. hes not clunky to play and has a very ease of use. youl'll see him often on tierlist as one of THE BEST non-dendro unit and a must pull regarding your resin. "USE IT NOW IF" you want to hit endgame faster and get better drops/artifact earlier. 'USE IT LATER" if you want to maximize your farming endgame for drops/artifact, because endgame provide better drop rate. jean kazuha would be a great team , if you add bennet & xiangling. you now have a functioning team. jean goes pure ATK for healing and kazuha pure EM (600-800 EM "recommended" )
