Genshin Impact is a massive game. Launched in 2020 as 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:HoYoverse's magnum opus, the game has amassed such a wealth of content that catching up to its story alone requires a co꧒nsiderable time investment. That time investment goes exponentially when you take its side content into account.

The Best DPS Characters In G๊enshin Imp꧅act, Ranked

Genshin Impact has an ever-growing cast of characters, but not all of them can dish out serious damage. Here are the best DPS op🔜tions, ranked.

1

Apart from its usual exploration, combat and the endless grind of earning Primogems, Genshin has several mini games. Some of these are permanent, while others are time-limited to certain annual events, but all are engaging. Here are ou🌠r favourites.

8 ꦬ 🌠 Bing-Bang Finchball

Recurring Event

Bing-Bang Finchball in Genshin Impact.

First introduced in the Secret Summer Paradise event of version 3.8♏, Bing-Bang Finchball proved popular enough for a 4.8 re-ꦑrun in August 2024. This mini game has you throw balls in high-scoring zones while attempting to knock out rival balls.

The biggest reason to have faith in Bing-Bang Finchball's return is its 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:co-op mode. You can play against friends, not just the CPU, in the Hardly Even Hardball mode. It stands to reason that ಌHoYoverse would make this a yearly event with so much effort put into it - we can only hope they make it permanent.

7 ꧅ Theater Mechanicus

Recurring Event

Theater Mechanicus in Genshin Impact.

Even in its early days, Genshin Impact was always introducing new and innovative game modes for each version. An early addition was Theater Mechanicus, which debuted in Version 1.3. This was a tower defence mini game where 🌼you would place mechanici in certain slots to 🔯keep enemies from reaching a portal.

Theater Mechanicus had two re-runs in Version 2.0 and 2.6, but has since disappeared fro✅m theဣ Genshin canon. HoYoverse may be too focused on the new game modes, but hopefully it will give this one another run.

6 🐎 Bunshin Phantasm

Enchanted Tales of the Mikawa Festival

Version 5.4's new story episode served as an effective introduction for 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Yumemizuki Mizuki, but her story episode wasn't the only narrative content included. Yumemizuki herself appears in the Mikawa Festival story, where she joins the Traveler in uncovering a mys๊terious Inaꦚzuman assailant.

Theꩵ plot involves various characters designing new mini games, and the one designed by Sayu and Yoimiya is Bunshin Phantasm. This is a memory game where timing is important. You are givenꦛ two attempts at each stage: your movements in the first stage are recorded, so you can use them to your advantage in unlocking pathways for the next run.

5 Serenitea Pot ﷺ ꦇ

Permanent Game Mode

Serenitea Pot is a cozy game all on its own. To gain access to it, you need to complete the quest '168澳洲幸运5开奖网:A Teapot To Call Home'. Oncꦯe you've done that, you'll be able to access the Serenitea Pot🍎 from your inventory at any time.

You can also visit friends' Serenitea Pots to see how they're getting along in being happy home designers.

4 Fishing

Permanent Game Mode

Is it even an open-world RPG if you can't go fishing? Genshin Impact introduced a 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fishing mini game in version 2.1. To access it, youꦉ need to complete the 'Exploding Population' world quest. Once you do, you'll be able to buy rods and bait and cast your line.

The fishing mini game is simple, but incredibly relaxing. Paimon gives you encouragement and commentates on whether you're winning as you reel in bigger and bigger catches. The fish you catch can b🤪e used in cooking tasty new dishes.

If you see ripple♎s on the water'💞s surface, it indicates a fishing spot.

3 Immortal Co🐭mbat

Lantern Rite 2025 Event

Immortal Combat display screen in Genshin Impact.

Immortal Combat is Puyo Puyo Tetris with a fruitier focus. You attempt to match your own blocks - represented by fruits and veg𒆙etables - while dealing damage to your opponent. This event debuted in 2025's Lantern Rite event. You can go through progressively harder CPU opponents to earn rewards, but𝄹 Immortal Combat's true potential is unlocked when you play in PvP mode, letting you face off against a real person.

From Mondstadt and Liyue to Inazuma, here are the locations of every Statue of the Seven currently spread across Geꦡꩲnshin Impact's Teyvat.

As a permanent game mode, Immortal Combat would run the danger of being too compelling and making ♒you ignore everything else, which is probably why Hoyoverse re🎃stricted it to the Lantern Rite event.

2 🎉 ꦺ Repertoire Of Myriad Melodies

Permanent Game Mode

Aether plays a harp in Genshin Impact's rhythm game mode called Repertoire of Myriad Melodies.

The fans clamoured and HoYoverse listened: in version 5.3, the long-sought-after rhythm game became a p⛄ermanent fixture. To unlock this mode, all you have to do is reach Adventure Rank 35 and talk to Sansa in Mondstadt.

This rhythm mini game lets you play several legendary tracks and unlock more by spending Repertoire Coins. Unlike most Genshin mini🌄 games, which err on the easier side, it's actually quite challenging - and a lot of fun. The compositions themselves are excellent too.

1 🥃 ♔ Genius Invokation TCG

Permanent Game Mode

Genius Invokation TCG in Genshin Impact.

Genius Invokation TCG is consistently one of the most popular Genshin Impact mini games and for good reason. It is an entire trading card game in itself. You can challenge all sorts of NPCs to play and expand your deck. To 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:unlock Genius Invokation TCG, reach Adventure Ran𝓀k 32 and complete the 'Come Trﷺy Genius Invokation TCG' world quest.

You can play against NPCs, play🐈able characters, and even other Genshin fans. The cards have beautiful artwork, and there are all sorts of mechanics to pay attention to - the mini game incorporates 🐻dice rolls, status effects and more.
