why freeze decks are BROKEN - Genius Invocation TCG | Genshin Impact 

I love the way they incorporated the elemental system into the card game, makes it so much more interesting

It's funny to me how Genshin's first real PvP experience is thru a TCG system instead of real combat, and it's actually fun too XD

I think the best thing about Freeze decks is, you can annoy peoples who uses melt Yoimiyaka deck.

Me: Rolls for specific elemental dice Enemy: freezes the character I rolled for Me: why are we here? Just to suffer?

Freeze and swirl are so fun, you can swirl hydro into cryo, or vice versa, to swap your opponent into a frozen unit, absolutely hilarious.

I use Mona, Ayaka, and Kaeya. I love it when I have Kathryne on the board, and all the character swap cards, and have Kaeya's burst on. With Mona and Ayaka's passives, I just free-swap to any character and the ice shards just fly.

Freeze is the blue control from magic. You play it when you want your opponent not to have fun.

Me using the blizzard deck by accident not knowing it's meta. I just really liked the characters

I use a deck with Oceanid, Chongyun and Jean! its really good against AyaYoi decks because of Jeans skill swapping preventing Yoi from building up energy. Also has great survivability with Jeans healing , end phase damage with Oceanid summons and Jean dandelion field, and of course some freeze mixed in.

In a game that is a damage race, tempo is king, and Freeze SEVERELY jams any decks tempo by shutting down a unit for a WHOLE ROUND and also messing with your opponent's dice management. Not all elemental reactions are created equal and Freeze certainly has the potential to sit heads and shoulders above all the other reactions.

I found that getting the adventurer’s artifact set (forgot the name of it) that heals you when you normal attack or cast ability is super OP on Ayaka and Xingqiu. Ayaka will gladly tank all the damage and then gain all her health back in one furious volley of infused normal attacks

Thanks for this video, I've started doing the TCG quests and was wondering what deck to build. I wasn't sure if Ganyu was any good in any deck.

Taser decks are really good too with offeild summons and constant dmg

7:32 Its 5 on its own. 2 from Ayaka, 2 from Xingqiu ult, 1 from freeze reaction. The sixth damage comes from Ayaka's elemental skill card, which adds 1 damage to her cryo infusion and allows to swap to her for free once per round. Now, I wonder if it would be feasible to have a Ayaka, Xingqiu, Yoimiya deck Ayaka cryo infusion into Xingqiu ult for freeze into Yoimiya ult for instant 8 damage, with Ayaka's elemental skill card and a sword equipment that would be 10.

Darkest Dungeon is a PVE game, but it had problems with the "meta" revolving around Stun, which would take an enemy's turn away and you could potentially get through an encounter stun locking the opponents. The way they solved it was giving any character that becomes unstunned get a 50% stun resist buff for a round. In Darkest Dungeon 2, they made it stun much harder to apply in the first place and what takes its place is Daze which forces that character to act at the end of a round I think something like either of these could work. Although if we rework the mechanic entirely, I would just make freeze a debuff that makes you unable to switch team members or a debuff to damage. Probably the latter because the former actually opens itself up to other kinds of abuse

I didn't arrive when this meta was on the loose and now I have seen it, I can see how obnoxious this is. I am glad that the card, Katheryne was introduced (A 1 quickswap support card) to counter this play. Getting her early is also strong for combo type decks which is really powerful with the introduction of Tignari with his Dendro reactions. It feels great to see how much it changes in such a short time and I'm all for it. Keep up the great video!

this really counters my noelle OTK deck but i build energy on noelle and switch to fischl and apply every enemy with electro (i also build buffs on noelle like gravestone gamblers and that food i forgor💀) and use some quick switch card to suddenly switch to noelle and perform OTK cause they got no dice

This is what I will work towards in the game now. Thank you, Dragon, now how do I get all these cards. lol

Funnily enough, I’ve been gravitating towards freeze decks during casual play, so I may just try the decks out.

Cool deck but I have only lost to this deck once, probably because people are still learning how to play it. I find OTK or summoning deck to be more of a problem right now but this could be a good counter against them so that's nice Will definitely try it next once I got enough currency to build them cuz the weekly hard limit is pain

Mona is my core character on freeze but I also bring fatui pyro agent for easy big dmg. Mona skill which give you free fast swapping character makes it easy either you want freeze the enemy or punish them.

I came up with XQ, Ayaka, CY freeze deck at Player level 3 or 4 I came up with it without realizing it's universally overpowered because I have ayaka as my PFP, therefore i need to get her first, and then get characters that can synergize with her I started with XQ, Ayaka, Sucrose but Sucrose did nothing for the majority of game, and so I tried Chongyun. Then I found out Chongyun was just perfect, he helped subtitute cryo application and freeze opponents while trying to get XQ's second burst up Few plays later, I knew the deck could be more optimized, so I maxed out Dawn winery, Katheryne, Leave it to me, and that rosaria's card (whatever it's called). I need to be able to act before they could act or build up more strength, this is known as aggro play, or you could say that the freeze deck is part of aggro-deck category (A deck that focuses on defeat omg the opponent with low/medium attack ASAP before the opponent could build up too much power) This deck might still be the least complicated deck (this is because I'm sure there are other players who came up with this insane deck on their own) since the TCG is still pretty new, there are bound to be other more complicated decks that the community have yet to discover

U want OP OTK deck? I suggest u to try Noelle, Bennett, Ningguang/GeoLawachurl. Use Ningguang if you want more survivability cuz ningguang can provide shield. Use lawachurl if you want big PP dmg cuz believe me, the geo lawachurl hit really hard by itself alone. The strategy is to get bennett's and Noelle's burst ready. Make sure to bring some geo-related cards and artifacts. Bring food that reduces normal atk die consumption and give the adeptus food to noelle right before she uses her burst. Put WGS on your Noelle and Aquila Favonia on Bennett(optional). Once the set up is complete, you are free to completely destroy the enemy deck. I've been using this team both in singleplayer and co-op battles. And it's so satisfying to see my Noelle doing 7-10 DMG with her normal atk after using her burst.

is there a proper guide for the blizzard deck ? i feel like im playing the deck wrong cuz i saw at 3:27 that its possible to freeze all 3 but idk if its possible to do it in one turn nor how to do it

my main deck was accrually xinqui, ayaka and ganyu! getting xingquis burst and then just spamming ganyus attacks! if ganyu gets low, their also ayaka to swapp to ^^

I have a deck I called "ANNOYING" and it's Ayaka, Diona, and Rhodeia. I completely dragged an Ayamiya melt deck with it. I felt a little bad for the Eula pfp. I had like three Hydro mimics eating their ass at any given time lmao

wow my deck was exactly the blizzard one just by casuality because i liked frozen

Excellent, I have another deck set-up I can use against Belén😈😈😈

Bro, yes you the person reading this. I use the blizzard deck and I have to tell you something, it's so good that I one shoted a xingqiu yoyamiya deck in THREE ROUNDS. With Mona ult and ayaka skill.

Wait until next week when we unlock maggu kenki for a summoner deck paired with oceanid and a filler character that is also a summoner

Freeze might be the meta but my go-to deck is still a Burning Deck with Collei + Diluc + Bennett

there are actually ways, to counter decks, that only rely on freeze with any deck. everything that works with a slow tempo, is really strong against it. summoning, healing, food, quickswap, expensive support cards and one shot characters (diluc burst).

How do you freze with ayaka and how to get 6 attack on normal charge😵‍💫

yes finally my boii Chongyun gets some recognition in the TCG game

This PVP gives me anxiety, Mihoyo!

Hey @dragonfly whose element mastery is required or used in hyperbloom

Genius Invokation has the same initials as Genshin Impact. I've noticed it a few minutes ago

The counter is an aggressive quicken deck.

what about ayaka, xingqui and ganyu?

Personally a big fan of Quicken decks because I really like using Collei and Keqing, but Freeze is soooo annoying to deal with... I might use my Oceanid and Chongyun to make one myself.

So confusing. What is the top 3 best generic overall decks to use against NPC?

Bruh meta is exaclty le word i was hoping to hear.

i was hoping to find a way to beat freeze decks and like... unfreeze myself XD;; ahhhh

Skimmed video right quick to see if there were any fun decks with no Ayaya in them... nope. Oh, well. Someone in the comments says they use Oceanid, Chongyun, and Jean, tho, so might see how fun that is to play around with.

Can't wait for Ayato's card to come out and reveal that Kamisato Ayato was the main investor for Genius Invocation in the first place & his beloved baby sister being OP was Just As Planned. (i dread to think what plans Ayato has for his card's synergy with his deliberately OP sister or, even more terrifyingly... Thoma)

If I use Diona instead of Chungyun, will I gain a lot more survivability while having a similar game plan?

Me who threw random cards on my deck. 👀

I use oceanid, sucrose and ayaka. Might replace oceanid with xinqiu

Oh, this is part of the meta now... I'm not going to challenge any real player and just bully npc with these meta deck

Meta and freeze will never get the best of me.

I use Collei Quicken against these. A turn 1 KO against their hydro character makes them quit 😂😂😂

so.. you're telling me... I MADE A BLIZZARD DECK ON ACCIDENT.

I found out today that you have more than 4 deck slots :/ Am I the only one who didn't know there were more slots to the right of the 4th slot?

I hate how overpowered some cards are. Basically forced to use Ayaka or Ganyu. Characters that i don't like at all xd

Can i see your deck?

What's otk?

Ayaka as OP in the card game as she is in the open world.

UNLESS YOU LOSE ALL FIRST TURNS! *crying*

Lol met someone with this deck build and completely destroyed them they quit.

You cant beat serious maguu kenki with deck

guys I need help lol I got C1 ayato in one ten pull, then I went for the weapon banner (bcs I have raiden) but after wishing I got 2 engulfing lighting, now idk if I save for Yelan (I’m a yoi main) or go for ayatos weapon

I destroyed this deck basically killing Mona on first round lol

As if they are not broken in in-game, they are broken in TCG too

Too complicated, I just go monke with Noelle, Mona, Bennet

Meta don’t bother me the word people use that’s annoying is OP

"I don't have friends" deck

I just hit “concede” whenever I see that the opponent intends to just freeze me over and over. I’m sorry but it’s just not fun to play against, and I have better use of my time. Even the permashield Noelle/Lawachurl comps are more fun to tackle than freeze. I want to play, not be forced to *not* play.

Instead of mona i use ocenaid

Genshin tcg falls into the zerg rush meta. You have teams that can legit kill a character at round 2 and team wipe at round 3

Oh, finally something different! Wait. Ayaka? Minty meat rolls? Get outta here.

Give me one reason to subscribe then I am going to subscribe

first

bad guide didn't learn a thing

TCG is so stupidly unbalanced and broken you always see the same few meta decks online by braindead kids that looked up the whole deck and strategy on youtube its either ayaka yoi melt, ayaka and xingqiu freeze or noelle and lawachurl with endless shielding and food literally 9 of 10 duels. On top of that there is absolutely no counter cards for field heals, dice generation or a simple single target anti field card for things like katheryne only anti summon thats it. If mihoyo doesn't release more cards for new deck builds or counter plays tcg is gonna die really quick.

This is so bad do not use this at all

This y I don’t use it and I don’t like people who use it. Where’s the fun in just freezing ur opponents the whole round? Not a very satisfying victory.

u know when you try to be "quirky" in your voiceover, it's not charming or endearing it's just cringe
