Genshin - Multiplayer - Unlock at AR 16

How to Unlock and Play Co-Op

Is Online Multiplayer Fun?

Fun for Players who Prefer Playing with Others

Genshin - Co-op Mode
From our perspective, Genshin Impact can be enjoyed easily either in single-player mode or Co-Op mode.

Enemies gain HP as more players join in, so multiplayer will not directly multiply your battle power or make the game a cakewalk, but it can also be fun to have several characters active when facing the game's challenges!

Helpful for Beginner Players

Genshin - Co-Op
If you're playing online with players who all have well-built characters, your adventure will proceed more smoothly.

You can also have more experienced players lead you through unexplored areas, or grow with your friends when farming bosses, Ley Lines, and domains together!
