Genshin Impact TCG: best decks for Genius Invokation

Ayaka, Chongyun, and Xingqiu – Freeze Deck

Freeze decks like this one are very powerful, as they can disable enemy cards, disrupting your opponent’s game plan. This particular deck packs quite a bunch, having the potential to destroy two character cards in a single turn.

Ayaka comes with a powerful passive ability that imbues her standard attack with Cryo power after a switch. In combination with Xingqiu's Elemental Burst you can freeze enemies in one hit.

Chongyun can infuse the attacks of other characters with Cryo power, making him perfect to keep up a streak of freezes.

Bringing the needed Hydro element to the table, Xingqiu is critical to this deck's success. If you lose him, you won't be able to freeze anything anymore.

Xiangling, Fischl, and Mona – Summoner Deck

HoYoverse

This deck focuses on triggering a wide variety of elemental reactions and still does damage even at the end of a turn. This keeps up the pressure on the opponent and gives you a lot of flexibility.

Xiangling summons Guoba to the battlefield for some additional Pyro damage, while her Elemental Burst synergizes well with the attacks of other characters.

Summoning Oz for some additional damage and packing a potent Elemental Burst, Fischl brings a lot to the table.

Mona's light shielding capacities and a Hydro summon are worth a lot in this deck, as it unlocks a few additional elemental reactions. Consider Kokomi as an alternative to Mona in this one.

Ayaka, Yoimiya, and Fatui Pyro Agent – Melt Deck

HoYoverse

This deck excels at dealing single-target damage, having enormous power to clear character cards off the board in quick succession thanks to the powerful Melt reaction.

Ayaka's passive ability is perfect for follow-up attacks after Yoimiya's turn, making them the potent combo driving this deck.

Activate Yoimiya's Elemental Burst as quickly as possible to infuse her standard attacks with Pyro damage.

The Fatui Pyro Agent primarily mops up character cards that have been damaged by your Ayamiya combo.

Ningguang, Zhongli, Kokomi – Geo Daddy Deck

HoYoverse

This deck, courtesy of HoYolab user yaniworld, has extensive defensive staying power thanks to Kokomi's healing and Ningguang's shield. The goal is to fully equip Zhongli and then unleash him on the enemy while keeping him protected with the other two characters.

Hydro and Geo is a potent combo and you could also consider a variation of this deck with Itto instead of Zhongli and Mona instead of Ningguang, which allows you to fully power up Itto and then let him win the game as the two Hydro cards heal and shield him.

Nahida, Yae Miko, and Raiden Shogun – Raiden One-Shot Deck

HoYoverse

Courtesy of HoYolab user Okyayu_zzz, this deck focuses on preparing Raiden for a decisive strike that deals a devastating amount of damage to the enemy. Creating as many stacks of her specific status effect as possible before activating her Elemental Burst is key. Remember that Raiden can recharge everyone's Energy, so unleash their Bursts shortly before hers to get them powered up again immediately for so dessert.

Yae Miko has great support capabilities for Electro characters, but you can easily swap in Kujou Sara in case you don't have Miko.

Nahida is there to allow for Electro-Dendro reactions and boost the damage of these reactions.

Ganyu, Shenhe, and Fischl – Ganyu Superconduct Deck

HoYoverse

HoYolab user CytheS has added Shenhe to this classic Genshin Impact TCG deck, which further boosts its performance. Begin with Fischl and summon Oz to the battlefield to set the stage before switching to one of your Cryo characters to start triggering Superconduct.

The deck comes with the needed Support and Event Cards to generate enough dice for consistent Frostflake Arrow usage, which is important to damage the entire enemy team.

In general, cards like Dawn Winery or Katheryne, or combos like Shift Change plus Leave it to me! are exceedingly important in the game, allowing you to switch characters without ending your turn and thus trigger strong elemental reactions according to plan.

Also prominent in most decks are cards that give you more control over the dice – even the best-laid plans can get derailed by a bad roll of the dice, after all. Re-rolling or converting useless dice to omni dice remedies this.

To get character cards, you need to invite the playable character to the Cat’s Tail via the board in the tavern and defeat them in a duel. The rest of the cards you can get from Prince’s card store and from adventure challenges in the big cities.
