“Genshin Verse” in heavily inspired by the mobile ARPG and gacha game title Genshin Impact. The game’s story features the lore-rich world of Teyvat, where certain mortals are fated to wield the power of the elements, each represented by seven sovereign gods who govern their respective regions.

The setting features several fan-made characters, as well as any additional characters who have adapted to the world of Teyvat. Following the in-game mechanics and the playable units from the story, characters in Genshin Verse engage in combat using their given Vision to wield one of the seven elements — Anemo, Geo, Electro, Dendro, Hydro, Pyro, and Cryo — as well as one of the five weapon subtypes (Sword, Claymore, Polearm, Bow, Catalyst).
