History GenshinImpact / TropesHToN

* HarderThanHard: A trend in more recent combat events is an additional fourth difficulty mode involving souped-up enemy levels, hidden enemy health buffs and tight time limits. The difficulty of these additional challenges is often on par with a perfect Spiral Abyss Floor 12 run. However, to be fair to players not geared for the pinnacle of the endgame, the additional rewards from clearing the fourth difficulty are minimal (usually some weapon EXP materials).

* ItAlwaysRainsAtFunerals: In the comic, there was a torrential rain shortly after [[spoiler:Diluc's father, Crepus Ragnvindr died]].

** from Navia's Story Quest onward, Story Quests feature still graphics in place of cutscenes.

** Compared to previous regions, which kept the local unique sapient race to either quests (Youkai, Adepti) or as somewhere isolated (Aranara, Pari, Oceanids), Melusines are completely integrated into Fontaine's society, appearing as regular npcs.

** Liyue: Hard light is used in the Domains of the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Adepti]] to bridge floating islands, and can be activated or deactivated by switches scattered throughout that control the rotation of these floating islands allowing the Traveler to navigate the Domains and accomplish the challenges set forth by the various Adepti.

* HeroicRROD: While [[GameplayAndStorySegregation it's not possible in gameplay]], with Energy being based on a ManaMeter, at the end of Navia's Story Quest, she exhausts her elemental energy after using it to create enough explosives to impress Creator/MichaelBay.

* HeroicRROD: While [[GameplayAndStorySegregation it's not possible in gameplay]], with Energy being based on a ManaMeter, at the end of Navia's Story Quest, she exhausts her elemental energy after using it to create enough explosives to make Creator/MichaelBay blush.

** Mondstadt: Hard light isn't particularly common in the {{Green Hill Zone}} nation of Mondstadt, but it is curiously found in the dilapidated ruins that make up the lair of [[DiscOneFinalBoss Stormterror]].

** Enkanomiya: Hard light forms barriers called the Shield-Lights of Tokoyo, which are dispelled or formed when the Traveler alters the underground realm's [[EndlessDaytime day]] and [[TheNightThatNeverEnds night]] cycle using the [[ThePowerOfTheSun Dainichi Mikoshi]]. Hard light also forms bridges between the islands which make up the [[spoiler:haunted]] {{Advanced Ancient Acropolis}} located far underneath Inazuma's Watatsumi Island.
** Sumeru: In Sumeru's far western desert region, there is a vast underground network linking various [[AncientEgypt temples and pyramids]] that date back to the reign of the ancient King Deshret (aka [[IHaveManyNames The Scarlet King or Al-Ahmar]]), a rival god of wisdom who [[spoiler:once collaborated with]] the previous [[GreenThumb Dendro Archon]] to [[spoiler:save Sumeru (and possibly all of Teyvat) from an outbreak of {{The Corruption}} brought on by unlocking the secrets of [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow forbidden Divine Knowledge]].]] Throughout King Deshret's ruins there exist numerous hard light structures forming mazes, with floors and walls forming as the Traveler walks up to them, along with massive obelisks and plinths activated by glowing spiky {{Power Source}} orbs (made of hard light, naturally) that are set alight with {{Tron Lines}} thanks to King Deshret's {{Sufficiently Advanced Bamboo Technology}}.
** Celestia: The very beginning of the game has the twins [[PlayerCharacter Aether and Lumine]] flying through a {{Fluffy Cloud Heaven}} when they're ambushed and detained by the [[LightIsNotGood Unknown God]], who uses [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver red and black hard light cubes]] to detain the duo and [[AndYourLittleDogToo kidnap the chosen Traveler's sibling]] kick-starting the whole adventure as a {{Roaring Rampage of Rescue}}.

* MageMarksman: The playable archers (like Amber, Venti or Fischl) can imbue their arrows with elemental power as their charged attack, or automatically when they enter Aim Mode.
* MagicalAccessory: Artifacts are pieces of equipment that increase your characters' stats. They come in sets and have SetBonus effects when you assemble two or four of any given set together.

* MagicKnight: All of the playable characters can use elemental magic, and some of them use either a sword, a [[{{BFS}} greatsword]], or a spear.

* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: [[spoiler: The ending of Fontaine Archon Quest completely destroy the long standing status quo of Celestia control of the entire Teyvat due to Focalors sacrifice to give the Hydro Sovereign his power back. This has a profounding effect on the entire story with Neuvillette regaining both of his power and position back, Fontaine become the only nation without an Archon and The Seven had permanently become The Six as a result. For the first time ever in the story, Celestia is defeated and [[HoistByTheirOwnPetard it's all caused by their own mistake finally catching up to them]]]].
