FAQ

Hello and welcome to the Genshin Impact Helper Team Build Guide! This website aims to help players build their characters as optimally as possible, by providing the best weapons, stats, and artifact sets for each individual released character. This FAQ should help better understand the website a little easier.

What is featured on this build doc?

This build doc features optimal weapons, artifacts, and stats for each individual character. This build doc assumes you are at least Adventure Rank 45, and are able to farm 5★ artifacts at the highest level domain.

X Character was just released and I don't see them on here, where are they?

Please understand that it does take about a week, potentially more, for testing on live servers to happen. The doc contributors are actively working hard to gather relevant information for said character. The feedback form is also not a place to demand a character to be added.

Where can I find such weapons and artifacts mentioned on the build doc?

The method to acquire said weapons and artifacts are listed on the Genshin Fandom Wiki. The wiki is also a great resource for gathering other relevant information.

I believe X weapon/artifact is good for Y Character, can you add it? Why is it not added? Why won't you add it?

The rankings for each weapon and artifact are meticulously tested and calculated to where they are placed on the build doc. Do keep in mind that as new weapons and artifacts come out, certain rankings may be subject to change. What you see may not always be a permanent ranking.

There is a niche build setup for X character, can it be added to the build doc?

The build doc is for more general, more commonly used builds that are viable in most scenarios. If a specific build only worked in 1 or 2 niches, it really wouldn't be worth mentioning.

I see that Energy Recharge requirements are mentioned but a value isn't listed. Why is that?

Energy Recharge varies in different teams. It's also difficult to provide an exact number for every scenario. As such, it is best to consult the Energy Recharge Calculator.

Is there data to back up your rankings?

Almost every section was planned out with TheoryCrafting in mind. As such, the rankings provided are backed up with calculations, and are not just it's good because we said so. Do note that the sources of our rankings do not contain Pre-TC or leak content.

Can you make sections for unreleased/teased characters?

The build doc DOES NOT run on leaks or beta content. Only content that is officially released onto global servers. As such we cannot and will not make sections for unreleased characters.

Can you provide team-building assistance?

We do not cover full team-building. However, if there are important synergies between characters, the doc will mention them.

What are these random letters when discussing combos and rotations?

When referring to something such as N3E (as an example), the doc is talking about using 3 Normal Attacks, and then Elemental Skill. For simplification reasons, the doc roughly uses the default keybinds on PC to represent abilities. Below you can find a legend of commonly used keys and their meaning:

N(x) = Normal Attack; x = number of times to attack within a character's attack string
C = Charged Attack
E = Elemental Skill
tE = Tap Skill
hE = Hold Skill
Q = Elemental Burst
J = Jump
D = Dash/Dodge (This is just a quick tap of the sprint button)
P = Plunge
x[combo]; x = number of times to repeat said combo

Are there at least F2P Options for each character?

Yes. The Build Doc ensures there is at least 1 permanently accessible F2P option for each character, even if said option isn't the absolute best for them. Permanently accessible options includes weapons that are free from crafting, overworld chests in Mondstadt and Liyue, or the easily obtainable 3* Gacha Weapons.

What are the Constellation assumptions for each character?

4★ Characters may have varying constellation level assumptions, when this affects build choices, it will be mentioned. 5★ Characters are assumed [C0].

Do you have build docs for Honkai Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero?

They are out there, but the Genshin Doc team doesn't manage them. To find them, please head to their respective official Discord servers.

When will you update X Character? They're extremely outdated!

It is difficult to update some characters due to their lacking presence in current endgame content, however, the Doc Team will aim to bring all characters up to speed eventually. There are over 100+ playable characters now, and managing each one can be very difficult for a team as small as ours.
