Quick Links
Genshin Impact is a huge open-world action role-playing game in which you take on the role of The Traveler, exploring the world of Teyvat, looking for their sibling. Along the way, you'll collect new characters via the gacha system, as you build a party that can face the challenges in store.
Genshin Impact: Every Playable Character's Age, Height, And Birthday
We take a look at the age, height, birthday, and background of all Genshin Impact's playable characters, including the new Fontaine residents.
There are weapons and artifacts to grind for, abilities and character combinations to master, and a range of bosses to defeat. Currently, there are four regions of Teyvat unlocked; Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Sumeru. There are also two sub-regions; Dragonspine and The Chasm. With so much to see and do it can feel overwhelming. That's why we've got you covered with a huge and ever-increasing range of guides to help you get the most out of Genshin Impact.
Current And Upcoming Banners
Genshin Impact always has a permanent banner, Wanderlust Invocation, that uses Acquaint Fate (blue wishes), as well as one to two limited-time banners that use Intertwined Fate (purple wishes).

All event end dates are inclusive and events will end at server reset time at the end of the specified day.
You can now 'quick start' and still do events without completing all the pre-requisite quests, although you still need to meet the Adventure Rank requirements, and may need to have unlocked specific areas. Just be aware that if you use the quick start function you will likely meet characters without context and may need to clear other quests if they include the same characters.
All events have a range of standard rewards including Primogems, Mora, Crowns of Insight, Hero's Wit, and Enhancement Ore. Many also offer talent books and other ascension materials usually only found in domains.

Character Guides
Genshin Impact has over 50 playable characters and the roster is growing all the time. In order to help you get the most out of your characters we've categorised guides for each one by element and rarity. As new characters become available they'll be added to the tables to keep you up to date.
Build guides cover the basics you'll need to know about each character's abilities and roles. We also have lists of the best weapons, as well as the best team compositions for most characters. As you level up you'll need to know where to find the appropriate talent and ascension materials, so guides for those are also included. Finally, pro tips will help you up your game, be it in a DPS, healing, or support role.
