The much-awaited TCG is finally arriving at Genshin Impact version 3.3. The characters have already been mentioning this game for quite a while now and have been teased by the devs during their earlier live streams. This time, it will finally be playable by the players!

Genius Invokation has been the talk of the town for players ever since the devs revealed that they’re creating a card battler that can be played inside Genshin Impact. Now that it’s releasing this coming version, the devs have revealed more information about the game.

Apparently, the game will start with rolling elemental dices that will act as energy for you to consume, depending on the character card you have active, they will consume different energies. The process of dice rolling will happen at every start of your turn. These elemental dices can also be used to switch characters, use equipment cards, event cards, or support cards.

Characters will also have an appearance in this game with Keqing, Ayaka, Collei, and more having their own character cards for the players to use. There will also be action cards as well as monster cards for the players to use that will trigger effects that will damage, buff, or have some other kind of utility that will help you win the game.

This game also incorporates Genshin Impact’s elemental reactions which means that your decks should have synergy on which elemental reactions you want to utilize to win the game. The character cards are also mandatory which means that you won’t be able to play the game without them, it seems that that’s where the starting point should be so picking the character cards you’re going to use is going to be essential to your winning strategy.

After reaching a higher player level, you’ll unlock a matchmaking mode allowing you to play with other travelers besides your friends!

[Easy Guide] How to defeat STONE HIDE LAWACHURL in Genius Invokation TCG | Tavern Challenges Genshin

Stonehide Lawachurl’s Rest Tavern Challenge Guide for TCG (Genius Invokation of Genshin Impact). Stonehide Lawachurl’s Rest is the fourth Tavern Challenge available and Friendly Fracas can be unlocked when you reach TCG player level 6. When you reach TCG player level 6, go to The Cat’s Tail at Mondstadt and talk to Prince to initiate the Tavern Challenge.

The passive of Stonehide Lawachurl makes it durable and could take several turns to be removed. Before going all out, ensure that the shield is no longer there.

When shielded, all of its damage is converted from Physical DMG to Geo DMG. As much as possible, avoid using moves that can apply you with an element that can be triggered with Geo as it can gain shield points when it triggers Crystallize reaction.

Once Stonehide Lawachurl has acquired 2 energies, it is likely to use Burst which deals with 5 Physical DMG or Geo DMG when the passive is still active. If your active character’s HP is 5 or less, switch to another character so you do not fail 1 of the objectives. When one of your character cards has been defeated with Burst, it regains its passive and it conjures a shield while converting all of its damage to Geo DMG.

Stonehide Lawachurl initially has a shield and can be tanky. Its Burst only requires 2 energies so it is likely to be used after 2 Normal Attacks & Skills. You can halt its actions by freezing.

How to defeat RYOUKO in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel | Genshin Impact

Challenge Ryouko to a Genius Invokation Duel in Genshin Impact. Ryouko can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to the Street Food Kiosk in Ritou in Inazuma in order to find and talk to them. Once you’ve leveled enough to ascend to Player Level 5, you can interact with Prince at Cat’s Tail in Mondstadt to get your second Ascension Challenge.

How to defeat TOMOKI in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel | Genshin Impact

Tomoki is an NPC from Inazuma that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Tomoki can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Dango Milk Kiosk in Inazuma in order to find and talk to them.

Although Tomoki’s deck is overwhelming at first glance, it’s fairly easy to defeat him. Simply bring along your strongest Pyro to eradicate all the enemy slimes with ease.

The Hide passive of the Hilichurl Shooters can be annoying, but doing an Overload reaction can help you go around it to swiftly defeat Tomoki.

How to defeat Furuya Noboru in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel | Genshin Impact

Furuya Noboru is an NPC from Inazuma that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Furuya Noboru can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to the Bridge in Inazuma City in Inazuma in order to find and talk to them.

The biggest threat among this deck is Yoimiya, especially with the Overload reaction from Fischl. In addition, Yoimiya’s burst allows her entire team to apply Pyro with ease, on top of an extra point of damage.

Maguu Kenki, on the other hand, provides a damage mitigation because of its Skill, but doesn’t pose much threat compared to Yoimiya and Fischl, respectively.

How to defeat MIKOSHI GENICHIROU in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel | Genshin Impact

Mikoshi Genichirou is an NPC from Inazuma that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Mikoshi Genichirou can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Netsuke no Gen Crafts in Inazuma in order to find and talk to them.

Mikoshi Genichirou is perhaps the hardest NPC in Inazuma at this point. The Nobushi enemy cards will give relatively high damage output, because of their Iai: Sheathed passive, but they’re not the bane of this deck.

The Kairagi enemies are the biggest threat in this battle, especially because your resources should be depleted when they come out. This is why it’s suggested that you use your bursts/skills sparingly. Make sure to also bring Food cards with you for extra sustain!

How to get XINGQIU Card in Genius Invokation TCG? | Invite Xingqiu & Defeat Xingqiu | Genshin Impact

Nasrin is an NPC from Sumeru that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Nasrin can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Gandharva Ville in Sumeru in order to find and talk to them. She Unlocks at Player Level 7.

Nasrin’s deck isn’t the easiest deck to defeat, but you can go around this by taking out the Stonehide Lawachurl first. Its shield and massive DMG are the biggest threat it has in its kit, which is why nipping it in the bud should be your top priority.

The Axe Mitachurls also pack a punch, but it’s going to more difficult taking them out with the Lawachurl present since Nasrin will just make it the Active character most of the time.

How to defeat Rudaba in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel? | Genshin Impact

Rudaba is an NPC from Sumeru that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Rudaba can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Gandharva Ville in Sumeru in order to find and talk to them. She Unlocks at Player Level 7.

Since Rudaba’s deck is mostly comprised of Hilichurl Shooters, their Hide passive enables them to switch every end of each round, making it quite tricky taking them out.

However, you can directly counter this by setting up Overloaded reactions to force them out from hiding. You can also pair this Piercing attacks to efficiently weed them out, despite of their Hide passive.

How to defeat YOHANAN in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel? | Genshin Impact

Yohanan is an NPC from Sumeru that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Yohanan can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you must go to Gandharva Ville in Sumeru to find and talk to them. He Unlocks at Player Level 7.

Although Yohanan’s deck is only made up of a single Jadeplume Terrorshroom, it packs a whopping 30 HP which makes it difficult taking it down. That, and its massive DMG makes this challenge a bit difficult compared to most.

However, you can hinder the Terrorshroom from attacking that often by freezing it with Frozen reactions, followed by melting it using Pyro.

Jadeplume Terrorshroom, it packs a whopping 30 HP which makes it difficult to take it down. That, and its massive DMG makes this challenge a bit difficult compared to most.

How to defeat KIMIYA in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel? | Genshin Impact

Kimiya is an NPC from Sumeru that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Kimiya can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Sumeru City in Sumeru in order to find and talk to them. Unlocks at Player Level 8.

There’s not much going on with Kimiya’s deck aside from its efficiency in setting up Elemental Reactions to deal massive damage. However, you can simply bring an Anemo character to Swirl and shred their Shields off to stun them for one round.

Since their base HP is just 4, Piercing attacks is also another effective way to deal damage in AoE to finish Kimiya off easily.

How to defeat AHANGAR in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel? | Genshin Impact

Ahangar is an NPC from Sumeru that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Ahangar can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Sumeru City in Sumeru in order to find and talk to them. Unlocks at Player Level 8.

Since one of the objectives for getting the maximum rewards from Ahangar’s challenge is defeating him in less than 5 rounds, leveraging on Swirl reactions is the most effective way to do it.

You can also opt to pair Swirl reactions with Piercing attacks to shred enemies’ HP in bulk for more efficiency!

How to defeat FERESHT in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel? | Genshin Impact

Feresht is an NPC from Sumeru that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Feresht can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Sumeru City in Sumeru in order to find and talk to them. Unlocks at Player Level 8.

Creating Pyro-related reactions is the most effective tactic when it comes to dealing with Feresht’s deck, since this can let you do Vaporize and Overloaded reactions, while stopping the Winged Dendroshroom from gaining an Activated state.

How to defeat YUNUS in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel? | Genshin Impact

Yunus is an NPC from Sumeru that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Yunus can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Sumeru City in Sumeru in order to find and talk to them. Unlocks at Player Level 8.

Yunus’ deck is comprised of Fatui cards which can be pretty tricky to deal with, especially the Fatui Skirmisher – Anemoboxer Vanguard and the Fatui Skirmisher – Hydrogunner Legionnaire are present in each round. You can go around this by utilizing Elemental Reactions as much as possible instead of Physical DMG.

How to defeat SAREH in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel? | Genshin Impact

Sareh is an NPC from Liyue that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Sareh can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Port Ormos in Sumeru in order to find and talk to them. Unlocks at Player Level 9.

To defeat Sareh easily and bag all the max rewards from this Duel, take Cyno out first. The late game potential of Cyno is, safe to say, scary, especially that Sareh uses action cards geared towards Cyno.

After you take out Cyno, defeat Razor then Collei, since Razor will become the main DPS after Cyno gets taken out.

How to defeat FARAHNAZ in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel? | Genshin Impact

Farahnaz is an NPC from Liyue that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Farahnaz can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Port Ormos in Sumeru in order to find and talk to them. Unlocks at Player Level 9.

Farahnaz’s character cards are just all slimes, but their lack of firepower and flair is compensated greatly by this battle’s Special Rule.

To go around Withering Corrosion, use Freeze teams to keep enemies from using Skills, as much as possible, to succesfully defeat Farahnaz while bagging all the maximum rewards!

[Easy Guide] How to defeat ELHAM in a Genius Invokation TCG Duel? | Genshin Impact

Elham is an NPC from Liyue that you can challenge in a Genius Invokation Duel. Elham can be fought in an Open World Match, which means you have to go to Port Ormos in Sumeru in order to find and talk to them. Unlocks at Player Level 9.

Elham’s character cards aren’t that relatively strong, but the Special Rule for this duel makes them so. Defeating them one-by-one will make the battle more difficult, that’s why gradually shredding their HP with the use of Piercing or other forms of AoE, then dealing the final blow afterwards is the best way to go.

Keqing and Ganyu is the perfect duo for this battle, especially because their skills that deal Piercing and Aoe damage takes time building, apt for the building momentum that you need to deal the final attack.
