This game mode is based on a trading card game from the Sumeru region, first created by Sumeru Akademiya researchers. They commissioned this game to the traveling merchandise merchant, Liben, who brought it to the attention of the Yae Publishing House in Inazuma.<\/p>\n

The game has gained popularity in these regions with a local hangout spot, Puspa Café in Sumeru, known for hosting several games. The game mode featured a brief gameplay demo during the 3.1 Special Program livestream<\/a> in September 2022 that gave Travelers a first look at its gameplay mechanics.<\/p>\n

Lastly, as you’ll be playing against other characters in this permanent game mode, it won’t have any rewards for PvP should you play against your friends online. Instead, it rewards you for your PvE matches, and cards can be acquired in various gameplay activities.<\/p>\n

Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG Mode – How To Play<\/h2>\n

It begins with a deck, like most card games, as Travelers can access the deck menu with the Casket of Tomes to edit their current deck. Each deck comprises three Character Cards and 30 Action Cards to be considered a full deck.<\/p>\n

Using Character Cards requires knowledge, as each card has a health or HP displayed in the upper left corner. As your Character Cards take DMG, this HP will decrease until your opponent brings your HP down to 0.<\/p>\n

Also displayed on the card are the character’s skills consisting of a Normal Attack, Elemental Skill, and Burst, much like the characters in-game. To use these skills requires you to roll a particular number using the Elemental Dice before you can use the skill for the active character.<\/p>\n

Each time you use a Normal Attack or Elemental Skill, the active character gains an Energy point, displayed on the upper right side of the card. After accumulating enough Energy, roll the Elemental Dice once again to launch the active character’s Elemental Burst.<\/p>\n

You can equip other effects and buffs to your active character to enhance attacks using Equipment Cards, Character, and Combat Statuses. At most, every character can have one weapon and artifact Equipment Card equipped; however, some characters can have more.<\/p>\n

Likewise, some characters can also produce Character and Combat Statuses which can be attached once available. In the case of Combat Statuses, should you switch to another character, that status will then be relocated to the new active character, which you’ll need to roll an Elemental Dice of your choice to switch characters.<\/p>\n
