Genshin Impact's combat system provides room for experimentation between different characters and gear sets. Character synergy is key for taking on some of the most formidable opponents in Genshin Impact. A player demonstrates how the Traveler and Zhongli's Geo abilities synergize to trap and defeat a powerful opponent in one of the game's domains.
Zhongli is the consultant of Wangsheng Funeral Parlor and the current vessel of Morax, the Geo Archon. He's also a powerful Geo character with swift polearm attacks. Additionally, Zhongli commands the power of earth to create massive stone pillars and deal area-of-effect damage. In combination with other elements, Zhongli may cause crystallization reactions to create elemental shards. These shards grant elemental shields based on the element Geo interacts with. Players fortunate to have summoned Zhongli from an event wish will have a formidable ally with potent build potential.
Reddit user u/gwahahaha_ha demonstrates the devastating nature of Genshin Impact's Geo abilities by trapping a giant Ruin Guard with the Traveler's Starfell Sword meteorites and Zhongli's stone pillar. The maneuver keeps the Ruin Guard in place between multiple meteorites while the stone pillar emits AOE damage. Furthermore, the AOE damage interacts with the stone meteorites, causing a chain reaction of Geo damage to inflict on the Ruin Guard. The player activates Zhongli's stone pillar for one final burst of Geo damage to finish off the Ruin Guard battle in the Spiral Abyss domain in Genshin Impact.
u/gwahahaha_ha's technique is called the "Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon," which is a direct reference to a whimsical weapon from the popular Gintama anime. By creating a Geo construct out of Zhongli and the Traveler's abilities, the player is able to finish off the high-leveled Ruin Guard from a reasonable distance. Powerful elemental reactions are key to completing challenge time trials within the Spiral Abyss domain for rewards such as Primogems and artifacts.
Elemental reactions are among one of Genshin Impact's most powerful sources of damage, and the game provides limitless combinations of characters and abilities to try out. Genshin Impact succeeds greatly in allowing players to develop their own play styles. Alongside major updates and new content, Genshin Impact continues to thrive with a healthy player community that discovers new ways to enjoy the game.
Genshin Impact version 3.0 will introduce new characters from the region of Sumeru alongside new story content and areas to explore. Sumeru characters may prove useful in future builds targeted toward completing high-leveled content.
Genshin Impact is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5. A Nintendo Switch version is in development with no confirmed release date.
