How to swim underwater in Genshin Impact?
Until recently a standard for normal swimming in any body of water stamina heroes, however, this mechanic has changed in the Fontaine region. Stamina has now been replaced with another stat – “Water Endurance”. When you dive into the water, will appear to the right of the character blue stripeand it is only spent when you use the gear.
Press the button to dive “LCtrl” or the corresponding button on the gamepad. You can go to the depths with the same key. If you want to swim, use the button “Room”.
How to travel fast underwater in Fontaine?
You can use acceleration (key “shift”), which in turn will consume water energy from the heroes. But as you explore the depths of Fontaine, you’ll also come across Hydro Rings that speed up your character a bit. In some places, such rings are located close enough to each other – this allows you to overcome the required distance in a short time.
In addition, players can encounter special things while traveling over water portalssimilar to those we encountered in the Inazuma region. Just communicate with them to go to a certain place. But in which one – you will find out only after moving.
How to restore water stamina and health?
The easiest option is to stop using it gear. Just stop or temporarily do not communicate with the “shift”. The water stamina bar is restored and you can speed up again.
Another effective way is to use Area of recovery. Often such spheres will be encountered when interacting with special species of fish. Just swim towards them to restore the water energy and health of the heroes in the team.
How to attack and fight underwater in Genshin Impact?
note that main (default) underwater attack still exists. It is a long shot or energy throw that deals base damage regardless of the individual character’s stats. Thus, normal attacks for all heroes will deal the same damage.
But apart from that, you can also improve and even acquire your attacks new skills. How do you do that? Now we will tell you.
Remark: All underwater attacks have a cooldown of a few seconds, so you can’t spam them with hits.
Use the capabilities of the xenochrome Oscar
Under the water you can find special monsters that will be loyal to your team in many ways. However, with their help, you will gain new abilities (while underwater).
To do this, you need to get close to the creature and hold down the normal attack button. After aiming, release the key to gain skills. The key is used for this. “E”.
The Xenochrome Sharpshooter ability allows you to fire a long and sharp Fontmer blade. Such an attack does good damage at a fairly large distance, but with its help it is impossible to destroy, for example, stone obstacles. However, you can use the knife to cut through Fontmere’s weak knots of seaweed.
Use the abilities of the xenochrome armored crab
armored crab – Another creature with special abilities. An underwater animal will be happy to share its skills with you, after which the team members can press the activation key for basic skills (button “E”) create a protective barrier (shield), and if you hold the button and aim, the shield will be released on the nearest monster.
Unlike the razor, you can only attack with a shield at close range, but the damage is much higher than that of an alternate ability. This ability also allows you to break through stone barriers underwater.
Since this ability is the only one that provides at least some protection, it is recommended to use it during underwater boss fights. For example with the subdistrict court of the Ocean. Use the shield during his “throw” attack to deal critical damage.
Use the abilities of the xenomorph puff
This large monster allows you to emit a sound wave that helps you find various objects and also attacks nearby enemies. Perfect for quickly taking out a large group of opponents at close range.
