Even though it is meant to be a casual experience, plenty of people are searching for how to get an edge in Genshin Impact’s TCG, Genius Invokation. With each update, HoYoverse adds new cards, buffs, and nerfs existing ones, making the “meta” decks change routinely. I don’t expect this will change, either. Generally, you should try to use the right deck to match the challenge you’re facing. However, certain cards and deck combinations are powerful enough to get you through almost any scenario. Here are the best decks you can currently build for Genshin Impact’s TCG.
Genshin Impact TCG Best Deck Tier List
Here’s some of the best decks you can build for Genius Invokation, Genshin Impact’s TCG. We’ve ranked them from S-Tier to C-Tier.
S Tier Genshin Impact TCG Decks
Two specific decks stand out from the crowd. The first is aFreezedeck, usually comprised ofAyaka,Chongyun,and Xingqiu. Other than the standard bestaction cardsyou could use, such asLibenandPaimon, you’ll want to use action cards likeElemental Resonance:Woven IceandElemental Resonance:Shattering Iceto give you more Energy or extra Cryo dice. You’ll also want to focus on boosting Ayaka’s normal attacks via cards likeMinty Meat RollsandKanten Senmyou Blessing. This lineup works best by using Xingqiu’s Burst quickly, then swapping to Ayaka for cryo-infused normal attacks.
While Electro-Charged may not be much of an elemental reaction out in the open world, in Genius Invocation TCG, it can work wonders. This deck combo usually comprisesRhodeia of Loch,Fischl, and theMirror Maiden. You could also use another Electro Character in Fischl’s place, but she certainly works the best.

A Tier Genshin Impact TCG Decks
If you feel like using some newer elemental reactions, you can try aQuickendeck. This deck usesRaiden Shogun,Collei, andKujou Sara. Your objective is to get Raiden Shogun to burst as soon as possible, so bring cards in your deck to support her, like the Ornate Kabuto Artifact Card. Collei will be setting up the Dendro-based reaction, so you can bring the Laurel Coronet card and Floral Sidewinder to give yourself an extra edge. This deck is new to update version 3.7, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it creeps up to S tier in the Meta overtime.
There’s another popular deck that uses the Electro Element: theOverloaddeck. The character cards you’ll generally use for it areXiangling,Fischl, andKeqing. You’ll need to use cards that boost Energy, likeStarsigns, to try and get Xiangling’s Burst off quickly, then deal AOE damage by adding Electro to the mix using either Fischl or Keqing. Use theExile’s CircletArtifact card on Xiangling to give Energy all around after she uses her Elemental Burst and strike combos quicker.

B Tier Genshin Impact Deck
Almost any other reaction-based deck will fall into this category. One of the more notable ones is aCrystallizedeck. It is generally comprised ofBarbara,Noelle, andNingguang. While it’s a deck that will help you survive against some heavy hitters, this deck lacks offensive capability. you’re able to try to mitigate some of this by adding Weapon Cards such asWolf’s GravestoneorSkyward Atlas. You can also use aWagnercard to make weapon cards easier to play.
C Tier Genshin Impact Deck
The lowest of the low is yourStarterdeck. While it will get you through your first few adventure challenges, you’ll want to upgrade to something a bit more coordinated if you want to go toe to toe with the toughest opponents in the Cat’s Tail. We recommendchanging your deckonce you’ve gotten newer cards, either by purchasing them from Prince’s Shop or by winning them from characters you challenge by invitation.
Best Genshin Impact TCG Cards

However, a few character cards stand out from the pack and can have various decks built around them. These are the best character cards in Genshin Impact’s TCG:
attempt to invite these characters to duel at the Cat’s Tail as soon as possible. If you defeat them onFriendly Fracasmode, you’ll be able to collect their character cards.
