If you thought you could leave Genshin for a game where you can get any of the playable characters by just playing the game, well then, good luck, because Star Rail is not that. The same gacha system from Genshin Impact is found in Honkai: Star Rail. You'll have to spend your hard-earned in-game currency to pull for some of your favorite characters and possibly real-world currency if you can't wait to pull Seele alre

Opting into four-pieces of Crimson Witch of Flames is Yoimiya's best choice when using her on a team with frequent Reactions. It will make all her Reactions hit harder and is especially viable on Vaporize teams with Xingqiu or Overload teams with Fischl , for insta

Artifact Domains could benefit from a similar system. For example, a Domain could drop only Viridescent Venerer Artifacts Monday-Thursday and only Maiden’s Beloved Artifacts Friday-Sunday. There would still be a lot of variance in the rolls of the individual Artifacts, but at least you wouldn’t be stuck with 2,000 Artifacts from a set you don’t n

The Artifact Strongbox is a handy mechanic that was added to give players access to a few extra Artifact rolls. Three Artifacts can be consumed to form a new one, and this can be a nice option when you don’t need to sacrifice Artifacts for experie

Yoimiya is a DPS character with a focus on elemental damage , meaning she can easily set off reactions with the right setup. Like most characters, knowing which weapons and Artifacts to use for Trailblazer Yoimiya can be a tough task, especially with the game's ever-growing list of each. The guide below is here to give you a head start as you begin crafting the best builds for Yoim

The Pyro Regisvine in Liyue can be found on Cuijue Slope in the Minlin Region. Players hoping to ascend Xiangling will need to take it down a few times. This is because it's the only source of Everflame Seeds, which are used in Xiangling's ascens

It’s no secret that Genshin Impact loves its limited-time events, and it’s no surprise why. Temporary events provide a constant influx of content to active players, and they give aspiring players a compelling reason to get involved with the game. Genshin Impact’s events feature a ton of variety, which is why it so strange that there have been no Artifact-focused events

Farming Artifacts for Yoimiya is a little easier than most characters because her best sets have some overlap. As a generalist set, two pieces of Crimson Witch of Flames and two pieces of any ATK-boosting set (Shimenawa's Reminiscence, Gladiator's Finale, etc.) is a fantastic option. This Artifact mix gives Yoimiya competitive damage without being tied to a specific playstyle or team composit

It can take almost 15 seconds to go up or down these stairs, and it will probably consume your whole Stamina bar. This isn’t a big deal when it happens once or twice, but when you’re on the verge of tears after 72 unsuccessful Artifact runs, this little design feature is a massive annoyance. While we’re at it, why not restore our characters’ Energy when we restart a Domain

Both Genshin Impact and Honkai: Star Rail are story-driven single-player games, but at their core, they are grindy mobile games that encourage you to log in daily to perform a set of tasks. From daily missions and setting up expeditions to grinding out EXP materials from Calyxes the gameplay loop is almost the same when comparing the two ga

Genshin Impact rolled out its Inazuma region with two charming yet powerful women named Ayaka and Yoimiya . Yoimiya is a five-star Pyro Bow user who can often be found helping out Inazuman citizens in trouble with the Vison Hunt Decree or schooling Arataki Itto in ramen-eating contests. She also is part of the famous Naganohara family and a pro at making beautiful firewo

Honkai: Star Rail is the follow-up to Hoyoverse's successful open world darling Genshin Impact . With tons of unique and lovable playable characters to add to your arsenal in Genshin Impact, the developers earned a sizable following. As soon as Star Rail was announced, players kept their eyes open for what was to come n

Although both games play in vastly different ways, some game mechanics and systems have shifted over onto the brand-new Star Rail, giving fans of Genshin Impact something familiar yet different enough to warrant a new game and countless more hours sunk into grinding for the newest charact

It’s easy to picture a system where you could instantly get perfect Artifacts for free and never touch the Domains again. Let’s be realistic, though: Genshin Impact is a gacha game through and through, and the Artifact randomness is here to stay no matter how frustrating it may be. But fear not! There are definitely some adjustments that could be made to the system, which would make the grind more fun for players while retaining Hoyoverse’s goal of an endgame pursuit. Here's what we'd love to
