How to Switch Characters in Genshin Impact

Learn how to efficiently switch characters in Genshin Impact to maximize your gaming experience. Let’s dive in and explore the various techniques and tips for seamlessly switching characters in Genshin Impact.

Since the enemies you encounter in Genshin Impact boast all sorts of different abilities, you’ll need to switch between your characters and use their elemental skills to your advantage. Being able to turn the tide of battle with elemental reactions is one of the most important aspects of combat.

How to Switch Characters in Genshin Impact

While you may have dozens of characters in your archive, you can switch between four of them as you run around Teyvat.

Since these placements are so limited, you’ll want to make sure that the four characters you choose not only match your preferred method of combat, but also complement each other’s elements and fighting styles.

For example, dousing an enemy with a Hydro spell is effective if followed by a Cryo attack that freezes your enemy and leaves them immobile.

How do I open the Paimon menu and click Party Setup?

To view your team in Genshin Impact, all you need to do is open the Paimon menu and click Party Setup, as highlighted below.

  •  After selecting “Party Setup” you will be taken to a screen that displays your current group and allows you to make changes.
  •  There are additional slots for more party formations if you want to experiment with different characters but don’t want to lose your original team composition.
  •  You can also change the order of your current party members here by deselecting them and then adding them one by one according to the number (if you’re playing on PC) or position you want to assign.
  •  Using the previous Hydro-Cryo example, we assigned Mona, the Hydro user, the value “1” on the keyboard, and then switched to Kaeya for Cryo with “2”.
  • Experiment with the order that feels most natural and allows you to perform elementary reactions with maximum ease.
  • Once you’ve assembled the perfect team, switching between your characters is as easy as pressing the buttons your game assigns to each character. Feel free to try out different command combinations to see what you like best.
  • A general rule of thumb when playing Genshin Impact is to balance your team with different elements and fighting styles , as some gameplay situations may require a strength-based approach, while others may be best handled with distance and speed.
