New Gameplay

The fast-paced tabletop card dueling game in Teyvat, Genius Invokation TCG, goes live after the Version 3.3 update! Collect your cards and build your deck to duel players all over Teyvat, or invite your own friends.

This requires at least Adventure Rank 32 and the completion of the Archon Quest “Song of the Dragon and Freedom.”

  • Player EXP can be used to increase your Player Level, which in turn unlocks new functions and more challengers. Lucky Coins can be used to purchase Genius Invokation cards and used to purchase Match Invitation Letters and various items related to Genius Invokation TCG.
  • You can use the invitation board to send invitations to registered challengers on the Player List and partake in duel matches. Should you prevail in these matches, you can also earn corresponding Character and Talent Cards.
  • You can use the invitation board and connect with your friends via Co-Op to partake in a Genius Invokation TCG match. After reaching a certain Player Level, you can also match with faraway strangers to duels of skill.

New Characters and Banners

The long-awaited Scaramouche enters the fray as a playable character, now known as Wanderer. He is a 5-star Anemo Catalyst user. Coming along with him is another new character in “Enigmatic Machinist” Faruzan (4-star Anemo Bow).

The first half will be a rerun of Arataki Itto (5-star Geo Claymore). The second half will have a rerun of Raiden Shogun and Kamisato Ayato.

New Domain

Domain of Blessing: City of Gold

  • This stronghold, once protected by seven mighty battlements, crumbled overnight when King Deshret fell and an age of chaos ensued. Where gold-eyed warriors once stood guard over watchtowers of gilded luster, now, only a desiccated temple built upon sundered rocks remains, more akin to a tomb for an age of radiance long lost.

The new Artifact Sets, “Desert Pavilion Chronicle” and “Flower of Paradise Lost” can be obtained after challenging this Domain.

New Artifact Sets

Desert Pavilion Chronicle

  • 2-piece: Increases 15% Anemo DMG Bonus.
  • 4-piece: After Charged Attacks hit opponents, this character’s Normal Attack SPD will increase by 10% while Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG will increase by 40% for 15s.

Flower of Paradise Lost

  • 2-piece: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.
  • 4-piece: The equipping character’s Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG are increased by 50%. Additionally, when the equipping character triggers Bloom, Hyperbloom, or Burgeon they will gain another 25% bonus to the effect mentioned prior. Each stack of this lasts 10s. Max 4 stacks simultaneously. This effect can only be triggered once per second. The character who equips this can still trigger its effects when not on the field.

New Weapons

Tulaytullah's Remembrance (5-star Catalyst)

  • Normal Attack SPD is increased by 10%. After the wielder unleashes an Elemental Skill, Normal Attack DMG will increase by 4.8% every second for 14s. After this character hits an opponent with a Normal Attack during this duration, Normal Attack DMG will be increased by 9.6%. This increase can be triggered once every 0.3s. The maximum Normal Attack DMG increase per single duration of the overall effect is 48%. The effect will be removed when the wielder leaves the field, and using the Elemental Skill again will reset all DMG buffs.

Toukabou Shigure (4-Star Sword)

  • After an attack hits opponents, it will inflict an instance of Cursed Parasol upon one of them for 10s. This effect can be triggered once every 15s. If this opponent is taken out during Cursed Parasol's duration, Cursed Parasol's CD will be refreshed immediately. The character wielding this weapon will deal 16% more DMG to the opponent affected by Cursed Parasol.
  • Toukabou Shigure and its refinement materials can be redeemed during the event “Akitsu Kimodameshi”
