Genshin Damage Formula Guide — Which Multiplier Your Build Is Missing

A level 90 character hitting a level 90 enemy loses exactly half its damage before resistance, before crits, before anything you can see. That 0.5 is not difficulty tuning — it falls straight out of one line of arithmetic, and it is the reason your next upgrade probably is not another CRIT DMG roll.

Genshin Weapon Guide — Base ATK, Secondary Stats and When to Pull

The 5-star weapon with the highest base ATK in the game and the 5-star with the highest secondary stat are 200 base ATK apart, and picking the wrong one for your character quietly costs you more damage than a constellation would give you.

Genshin Energy Recharge Guide — How Much ER You Actually Need

Xingqiu drops exactly five Hydro particles per skill cast. Standing on him when they land is worth 15 Energy. Swapping away first is worth 9. Same cooldown, same rotation, six Energy gone — and that is before you touch the Energy Recharge stat at all.

Genshin Impact Talent and Ascension Material Guide — The 7 Million Mora Character

Taking a single character to level 90 with all three talents at 10 costs 7,050,900 Mora. Not per team. Per character. Once you see the real bill, you stop leveling everyone a little and start leveling someone all the way.

Genshin Impact Resin Management Guide — Stop Wasting Your Cap

Original Resin regenerates at exactly one unit every eight minutes, which means a full 200 cap takes 26 hours and 40 minutes to refill. If you sleep on it, you are quietly throwing away progression every single day.

Best F2P Teams in Genshin Impact — Four-Star Squads That Clear

Xiangling costs one Spiral Abyss clear. Xingqiu costs nothing but a Beginners' Wish. Bennett is on the standard banner forever. Put those three together and you have a team that has been clearing endgame content since 2020 and still does.

Genshin Spiral Abyss Guide — Floors 9-12, Two Teams and 1,200 Primogems a Month

A full 36-star Spiral Abyss clear pays 600 Primogems per reset, twice a month, for the cost of zero resin. That is 1,200 free primogems monthly that most accounts leave on the table because nobody explained the two-team tax.

Genshin Elemental Reactions Guide — Every Multiplier Explained

Most players know Hydro plus Pyro equals Vaporize. Far fewer know that swapping which element lands first is the difference between a 2x multiplier and a 1.5x one — the same rotation, a third of the damage gone.

Genshin Artifact Guide — Stats, Rolls and Resin Math

A five-star artifact can roll the exact same substat four times and give you anywhere from 10.88 percent to 15.54 percent CRIT DMG. Understanding that spread is the difference between a functional account and a museum of half-built characters.

Genshin Wish Guide — Pity, Rates and Real Primogem Costs

The base five-star rate is 0.6 percent, which sounds brutal until you learn that almost nobody actually pulls at 0.6 percent. The rate ramps hard starting at wish 74, and that single fact should change how you save.
