Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG was finally introduced in Verison 3.3 of the game and Version 3.4 is on the horizon. This means that these first couple weeks were the game mode’s first run in the Genshin community. Some flaws have obviously been pointed out and thus some balancing is expected.
Version 3.4 Beta had a couple of TCG changes that work towards a more balanced system and these changes are expected to be introduced in the upcoming Version 3.4 update. We already know that Beidou is coming as a new playable character card but read on to find some other changes.
TCG Changes Expected in Genshin Impact Version 3.4
Yoimiya’s Burst energy cost is likely to be changed from 2 to 3. She was one of the meta characters in Genshin’s TCG mode due to her easy-to-use kit with high utility and reliable damage. Her 2 burst cost especially made her powerful as players need only use her NAs twice to have full energy and use her burst.
Collei’s talent card cost was also increased by 1 in the Beta version. Collei is currently the only playable Dendro character in the game and she makes sure she’s useful. Collei is amazing in TCG Quicken teams and that’s what gives her a meta status in the TCG game mode.
The Minty Meat Rolls now don’t reduce -1 dice for NAs for a whole round but instead only for the next 3 NAs of the target character eating this food. This is a huge nerf to teams based on NAs like Yoimiya-Xinqiu teams.
Beidou still isn’t released but it looks like her kit was also nerfed and we already know from her released kit that she would’ve synergised perfectly with teams based on NAs.
Finally, Maguu Kenki was nerfed. Maguu Kenki’s card was one of the most broken due to everything it could do and now it can do one thing less.
Overall, all of these changes are nerfs and Normal Attack users especially were nerfed in the Beta which means we can expect most of them to be implemented in the official Version 3.4 TCG too. This will massively affect the current TCG meta and you can expect some of these characters to drop in the meta while others may come to replace them.
