Genshin Impact Genius Invokation TCG equipment card tier list

The Genius Invokation TCG gameplay mode of Genshin Impact allows players a break from the constant hustle and bustle around Teyvat in favor of an epic card-battling game. Genius Invokation TCG comes with many unique card types that players will need to learn, such as equipment cards.

Equipment cards can be powerful when utilized correctly in Genius Invokation TCG, but they are generally the least important card type of all. This is because most equipment cards require players to spend Elemental Dice to equip them, but then they have to wait until next turn for their benefits to trigger in earnest.

Utilizing equipment cards is also a fairly costly endeavor, and it mostly serves to drag the games out longer than they need to be, since there are more efficient ways to achieve success. Thus, unless you find that they truly suit your playstyle, it is almost always a better idea to spend the previous Elemental Dice on character skills, event cards, and support cards instead.

That said, certain equipment cards can be powerful when played, while others are a waste of dice. Here’s how to distinguish between them.

Equipment cards can be broken down into three unique types:

• Weapon equipment cards
• Artifact equipment cards
• Talent skill equipment cards

The weapon cards that fall within the equipment category all focus on increasing the damage output of the character they are equipped on. This system functions similarly to how weapons otherwise work in Teyvat: cards reflecting five-star weapons are the best, four-star weapons are solid, and three-star weapons are mediocre.
