Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG gameplay

Genius Invokation TCG combines Genshin Impact’s element-based combat with a tactical twist, allowing players and NPCs to battle it out with their own deck of cards. Essentially, gameplay involves Travelers acquiring cards and battling their foes using various elemental abilities until they eventually claim a victory over their opponent.

Character Cards have Normal Attacks, Elemental Skills, and Elemental Bursts which Travelers will need to use to trigger Elemental Reactions. Action Cards also enable buffs and certain effects to be applied, adding another layer to the turn-based combat.

This means swapping out Character Cards is incredibly important if you wish to make those big, high-damage plays. However, it’s important to note that the above actions often consume a certain number of Elemental Dice, thus making dice rolling at the beginning of each round an important variable of the game.

Despite being a new end-game mode, HoYoverse has confirmed that Genius Invokation TCG will be a light-hearted and casual gameplay mode with PvE being the core of it. Additionally, the developer has also confirmed that all the cards available in Genius Invokation can be obtained from the game itself and will avoid a reward system that is tied to PvP.
