Starting Genshin Impact can be overwhelming with its massive world and complex systems. This beginner guide covers everything you need to know.
Getting Started
Genshin Impact begins with choosing a twin — Aether (male) or Lumine (female). Your choice does not affect gameplay significantly but determines your main character's appearance.
Adventure Rank
Adventure Rank (AR) is your overall progression level. Increase AR by completing quests, opening chests, discovering waypoints, and completing domains. Key AR milestones unlock new features: - AR 12: Daily Commissions - AR 16: Co-op mode - AR 20: Spiral Abyss - AR 25: Reputation system

Key Elemental Reactions - **Vaporize** (Hydro + Pyro): 1.5-2x damage multiplier - **Melt** (Cryo + Pyro): 1.5-2x damage multiplier - **Freeze** (Hydro + Cryo): Freezes enemies in place
