Genshin Impact Fan Shares Geo Element Rework Idea

A Genshin Impact player has provided their opinions and suggestions on how to improve the Geo element's gameplay mechanics. Aside from the Gacha RPG's core gameplay, Genshin Impact's combat involves using characters with specialised attacks and powers that are a reflection of their individual aspects.

Players can combine most elements to improve the power of the element, for example, Vaporize with Pyro and Hydro, Melt with Cryo and Pyro, and so on. The player wants the Geo element to be changed because it is currently being ignored by the elemental reactions and does not interact with any other elements that are currently present in the game.

The Geo element redesign has received a variety of responses from the Genshin Impact community. A Reddit member going by the handle u/conspiracie submitted their unique suggestion for how Hoyoverse should update the Geo element in a post. The player thought of the element as the crowd control element, in which every elemental reaction will cause a crowd control effect to be applied to enemies. These effects include: Geo with Dendro roots enemies, Geo and Hydro slows enemies, Geo and Electro silences enemies, Geo and Anemo knocks enemies airborne, Geo and Cryo gives a freeze that cannot be broken, and Geo and Pyro gives raze that deals more damage.

As of now, there has been a mixed response to the post of Conspiracies. Some people are very interested in the idea of the Geo elemental reactions, while others are still a little sceptic because Geo is thought to be a very rigid and stand-alone element to have, and that is what initially drew them to the element. Some people express concern that providing an element an elemental reaction would give it an unanticipated super boost, tipping the balance of strength between the various elements.

Another comment makes reference to the fact that the four various reactions—Airborne, Root, Ground, and Permafrost—are merely different animations of the freezing reaction. However, despite the lack of an elemental reaction after the release of Dendro, many people still support the idea as there have been numerous discussions recently about the need to improve the Geo element, which is now gradually losing ground to other elements that can create very creative and interesting combination attacks.

Such responses and reception are evidence of the attention and consideration Genshin players pay to the primary gameplay of Genshin impact. With more players starting to play the game and veteran players deciding to keep playing as Hoyoverse releases more and more content for the players and fans to finish, it really helps Hoyoverse to have such input from real-time players who deal with the game firsthand about how to further improve the current game and what path to take into the future.

Final Thoughts

Our opinion of Conspiracie's highly unusual and original remake idea is that it might work in some circumstances, particularly given how simple and unimaginative it is. The Geo element is not weak in contrast to any other element at this time, despite its potential to combine with other components, therefore much tweaking is required given how each response functions.

This indicates that combining the aforementioned elemental interactions will greatly increase the power of the geo element, making it far more powerful than other elements and creating more issues. Hoyoverse should therefore first consider how they may possible implement such an idea without offering too much of a benefit for the Geo element, even though it is a very interesting and enjoyable notion.
