Genshin Impact: Everything You Need to Know About Talents

Talent Level-Up is one of four main components of the combat system in Genshin Impact. Talents, Weapons, Artifacts, and Character Ascension all work together to determine what team position a character is meant for and what kind of damage they do.

Talents can be split into two categories: Combat Talents and Passive Talents. Except for the Traveler (who only has 2 Passive Talents), all characters have three of each Talent. So in total, characters have 6 Talents unique to them. If you’re struggling with the Spiral Abyss, try taking a look at your characters’ Talents!

Combat Talents correspond to each type of attack a character can perform. These are the Talents that need Talent Materials – more on that later. When someone says they want to Triple Crown a character, it means that they want to max out all of their Talent levels.

Each Combat Talent can be leveled up to Level 10. However, all characters’ C3 and C5 increase their Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst levels to 15. The Combat Talent that the Constellation effects depends on the character. For example, Yoimiya’s C3 affects her Elemental Skill, while Dehya’s C3 affects her Elemental Burst.

Finally, each Combat Talent directly affects the DMG of its attack. While the main ATK stat also affects your character’s damage output, Talent Levels help translate the ATK stat directly to how each Combat Talent functions. So think of the ATK stat as the overall ATK umbrella, then put Combat Talent and Elemental damage under it.
