On August 24, 2022, version 3.0 of the popular Gacha (a game that has microtransactions from which you randomly get new characters and weapons) action-RPG Genshin Impact was released. Like previous major updates, this time the new version brings with it a new continent full of quests, events, mini-games and a huge world waiting to be explored. However, this time for the first time a new element is introduced – Dendro.
I won’t say anything about this story except that it revolves around the new Dendro Archon and dreams. I found it a little more interesting than Inazuma’s story, but that’s purely subjective. What I definitely enjoyed during that week of play was (and still is) the environment of Sumer. It’s much more detailed, expansive, and overall more polished than anything Genshin Impact has ever shown in a major update. The jungles of Sumeru are varied, with several small ecosystems, and full of vertical exploration aided by a new movement option – think the classic grappling hook. Moreover, only the first part of this continent has been discovered so far. The second – a huge desert – awaits us in a later update.
Of course, the dendro element is the key to exploration and progress in Sumer. So far, there are three characters in the game who control this element. A new 5* main DPS Tignari that works great in dendro-oriented hangouts, Colley, a 4* character that you get for free from the event, and finally, of course, the main “Traveler”, which will surely come in handy for the first time since the game was released. . If you don’t specifically want Tignari and build a group around him (she plays very similar to Ganya, so if you already have her or don’t like her play style, Tignari is probably not for you – plus she will be in constant wish banner from version 3.1) is quite enough for playing in parties in which the Colley or the Traveler act as a support for the dendro. Traveler in particular is truly excellent and doesn’t just belong in the “if you don’t have anything better” box.
Dendro is a really interesting support element, and many of the old characters with their reactions (his reactions with electricity, fire and water) take him to a completely different level. Such Kokomi or Fischl, for example, become absolute monsters, on which, together with the dendro Traveler, you can build a huge number of combinations. Add, for example, Sucrose to a batch that will attract your enemies to you, and you will have a great batch with which you can pass even the most difficult tests.
My impression of the new Genshin is very good. An interesting plot, an absolutely amazing looking location and a huge pile of hidden secrets, mini-stories and puzzles once again show that the creators of miHoYo do not make this game for quick money, but really invest a lot of time, great ideas in it and do not underestimate or skimp on anything. for what. The Dendro element fits perfectly into the game and thus offers a bunch of other options for creating a squad and improving the playability of characters that have not been the best so far. Yes, it’s still a gacha game where they try to extort money from players, but if all games based on microtransactions consistently maintained this quality, I would not have the slightest problem with it. In addition, there is still no paywall in the game, and with an f2p account, there is not a single piece of content in the game that you cannot access or win.
Genshin Impact is an F2P Gacha RPG for PC, PS4/PS5 and Android and iOS mobile platforms.
