Free-To-Play Games Are the Real Job Simulators

Next, Genshin Impact has announced the return of the hide-and-seek event, "Windtrace." In this event, players participate in online matches as either a Rebel or Hunter. To win Genshin Impact's Windtrace minigame , Hunters must find and capture all the Rebels, while Rebels must attempt to hide from or out-maneuver the Hunter. Although this event remains largely unchanged, Rebels caught early in the match will now be able to still assist their allies by using abilities to confuse the Hunter. On top of this, new abilities have been added to both sides, including a net for the hunter that can remove disguises, and a beacon for the Rebels that can turn them invisi

There are only a handful of four-star characters that have the skill set to support on-field raw damage play style. Luckily, the developers have given that power in the hands of Yanfei, and she uses it elegantly . Characters wielding the Pyro element are known to have destructive tendencies, and this character lives up to t

You don't have to do any talking at all. Just teleport to the Grand Narukami Shrine and walk over in front of the Sacred Sakura. You'll automatically complete the quest that way and be rewarded with 20 Primogems and some M

While five-star characters can be out of reach for some players, some amazing four-star characters can perform the same task. Yanfei is one of these four-star characters, and she uses a Catalyst with a Pyro vision. She is a lawyer in Liyue and knows her way around different loopholes and ru

A lovely follow-up to the previous Gourmet Surpremos quest is the equally generous Seashore Strider. Don't expect to get the Primogems too easily in this one though - you'll need to do a bit more legwork in order to get the rew

By now, your pockets are probably full of Naku Weed which is an Inazuma delicacy. You'll need a dozen of those for this quest. Head over to the Statue of the Seven near Higi Village and look for Yasumoto. He'll give you a World Quest that involves killing several samurai and bandit te

Before you get to the fighting part of the quest, you will need those 12 Naku Weeds that Yasumoto's going to ask for. If you don't have them, then picking them up is quick and easy enough as they're typically clustered together. After that, you'll have to face three waves of samu

The first event announced during the Genshin Impact livestream, "Akitsu Kimodameshi," will include mini-games and challenges that are described as a "test of courage." So far, the livestream explained a mini-game in great detail that tasks players with breaking blocks by bouncing a ball off of a platform, similar to Arkanoid or Breakout . This mini-game features many interesting mechanics as well, incorporating Elemental Reactions and special abilit

The distinction that sets free-to-play games apart is that players are incentivized to play the game even when they do not feel like doing so. Skipping a day of House Flipper will not cause the player to lose out on a bid for an ideal property, where failing to log into a gacha game could cost a player an attendance streak that leads to scaling rewards. In this way free-to-play games do not just simulate jobs, but jobs that the player might not particularly care for. Whatever passion they had on day one may have diminished, but they continue to clock in daily because they cannot afford to do otherw

Having four artifacts from this set increases the damage dealt by all the Pyro-based reactions. Not only does this set increase the Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15 percent, but it also gives you an additional Pyro DMG Bonus after using Elemental Sk

Looking for that World Quest in Genshin Impact where you just talk to people, grease your elbows a bit, and then get rewarded? Here's one of the quickest ones. Look for Furina materials a traveling group of chefs from Liyue in one of the sandbars connecting Ritou to Narukami Island to trigger this qu

Of course, all of this only makes sense if players choose Wanderer instead of Arataki Itto . A decent free-to-play option for Wanderer is the Mappa Mare, a 4-star Catalyst with a nice Base Attack and an additional stat that boosts Elemental Mastery, while its skill grants bonus Elemental DMG when an elemental reaction is triggered. Considering how often Wanderer should trigger elemental reactions, that bonus should be up constan

Fridge teams are now usable thanks to the introduction of the Dendro element in Genshin's 3.0 update. These quasi-freeze teams synergise with Dendro cores, which are made when Hydro reacts to enemies with the Dendro status on them. Layla is especially useful here because she can keep you from being hurt by Dendro cores when they explode. This means you should build Layla as a pure shiel

You'll need to talk to Hiromi. He's located West of the Tenshukaku in Inazuma City. After that, the quest will point you to Narukami City and then to Jueyun Karst and Mt. Hulao in Liyue. Afterward, you'll be back in Inazuma for 30 Primog
