Cards to Prioritize

Character	Why It's Recommended
Nymph's Dream	- Using their Skill lets you start an Adventure - Prioritize this since you'll want to use the Adventure Effect
Lost Legacies in the Sand	- Redraw your hand and draw 1 extra card - Makes it easier to cycle your hand and get set up
Shifting Painting	- Generates an extra Shield when you play Radiant Hues - Keep it in hand if you have room to spare

How to Play

Equip Nymph's Dream on the Spiritspeaker on Your First Turn and Use Their Skill

On your first turn, equip Nymph's Dream on the Spiritspeaker before using their Skill to start stacking up Radiant Hues buffs. For the Adventure Effect, pick Tonatiuh — and ideally, choose your Radiant Hues buffs in the order of Cost Reduction ×2 → Draw → Bonus Cryo DMG.

Keep Building Buffs with the Spiritspeaker's Skill After the Opening

After the opening turn, keep using the Spiritspeaker's Skill to keep stacking up Radiant Hues buffs. Make good use of switching characters to keep the Spiritspeaker from getting knocked out, and aim to stack up to a total of Cost Reduction ×2 + Draw ×2 + Bonus Cryo DMG. Since playing Radiant Hues also lets you use up a turn, doing so makes it easy to build up buffs and stay durable at the same time.

Go for the Finish with Radiant Hues and More

In the late game, use your buffed-up Radiant Hues along with Taroumaru/Underwater Treasure Hunt to go for the finish. Play Taroumaru/Underwater Treasure Hunt, and with the Taroumaru's Savings/Undersea Treasure you draw from Radiant Hues or the Adventure Effect, keep building up dice while continuing to attack with the Spiritspeaker's Skill and more to finish the enemy off.

Cards to Prioritize

Character	Why It's Recommended
King's Squire	- Deals +1 DMG, and can reduce the Elemental Dice cost of the next Skill/Talent by 2 when equipped - Prioritize it since it increases your damage dealt
The Other Side of the Frostmoon	- Can randomly reduce the cost of one card in your hand when played, and again at the start of the Action Phase - Keep it since you'll want to use it on Turn 1
Sin of Pride	- Boosts Skill/Burst DMG by +2 for Electro characters with Crowfeather Cover - Keep it if you have room

How to Play

Turn 1: Lauma's Skill → Sara's Skill → Set the Blessing

On Turn 1, pick Lauma and act in this order: use her Skill → equip Sara's Talent (if you have it) → use her Skill. For the Blessing, choose Shatterbolt and get it into play. If you've also drawn Golden Troupe's Reward, equip it on Collei.

Turn 2: Equip Sara's Weapon → Skill/Burst → Switch to Collei

On Turn 2, first lower the weapon's equip cost, then equip the weapon on Sara and attack in the order Skill → Burst. After attacking, switch to Collei and attack as well if you have the dice to spare; otherwise, just end the turn.

Turn 3 Onward: Go for the Finish with Collei

From Turn 3 onward, go for the finish with Collei's Skill or Burst. Use Where is the Unseen Razor? to recycle your weapon and lower its equip cost, equip both a weapon and Gambler's Earrings, and try to use up your cost-reduction cards as you go — playing this way lets you rack up damage efficiently.

Cards to Prioritize

Character	Why It's Recommended
Elemental Resonance: Impetuous Winds	- Essential for triggering a Swirl on Turn 1 - Also powerful since the Swirl reaction deals bonus damage
Leave It to Me!	- Essential for triggering a Swirl on Turn 1 - Keep it if you don't have Elemental Resonance: Impetuous Winds
Art of Sleepy Meditation	- Essential for placing the Blessing: Wind Force on Turn 1 └ Fine as long as you have either this or Elemental Resonance: Woven Winds
Elemental Resonance: Woven Winds	- Essential for placing the Blessing: Wind Force on Turn 1 └ Fine as long as you have either this or Art of Sleepy Meditation
Saurus Crackers	- If you have 2 of Art of Sleepy Meditation / Elemental Resonance: Woven Winds / Saurus Crackers combined, you can use your Technique right after placing the Blessing - Keep it if you have room to spare

How to Play

Turn 1: Shinobu's Skill → Ifa's Skill → Place the Blessing

On Turn 1, select Shinobu and act in this order: use her Elemental Skill → play Elemental Resonance: Impetuous Winds or Leave It to Me! → use Ifa's Elemental Skill. For the Blessing, choose the Blessing: Wind Force option, and play Art of Sleepy Meditation or Elemental Resonance: Woven Winds to bring it onto the field. If you have 2 of Art of Sleepy Meditation / Elemental Resonance: Woven Winds / Saurus Crackers, it's fine to go ahead and use Ifa's Technique too after placing the Blessing.

Turn 2: Trigger Electro Swirl With Ifa

On Turn 2, attack so that Ifa's Technique, Elemental Skill, or Normal Attack triggers Electro Swirl. Equip artifacts and the like while making sure to use up your dice cost efficiently.

Turn 3 Onward: Go for the Finish With Heizou or Ifa

From Turn 3 onward, go for the finish with Heizou's Skill once Declension has stacked up, or with the Electro Swirl from Ifa's Skill/Technique. Use Heizou to take down high-HP enemies, and switch to Ifa when a low-HP enemy is in the back row and you can only trigger Swirl there — mixing between the two lets you corner the enemy.

How to Play

Turn 1: Pick Ineffa and Prepare

For your opening move, pick Ineffa and get your preparations done from the start. Manage your cost using Moonsign: Ascendant Gleam or Unknown Nouns → A Blessing From 'M', and use as many draw cards as you can. Ideally, you'll also have Golden Troupe's Reward and even Vortex Vanquisher equipped on Flins by this point.

Early Turn 2: Stall With Characters Other Than Flins

On Turn 2, prepare Flins's full equipment loadout while stalling with characters other than Flins. Equip Heart of Khvarena's Brilliance on someone other than Flins, switch characters while making use of Sing Your Heart Out's effect, or spend turns with Ultimate Surfing Buddy! to stall efficiently.

Once Prepared, Finish With Flins's Skill/Normal Attack

Once your preparations are complete on Turn 2, go for the finish with Electro-Charged + repeated uses of Flins's Elemental Skill/Normal Attack. If you use Unknown Nouns → A Blessing From 'M', The Boar Princess, and similar cards to gain roughly 2-4 extra cost while having Gambler's Earrings equipped, you should be able to finish off the enemy by the end of Turn 2.

Genius Invokation TCG Best Beginner Deck

Electro-Charged Swirl Deck

*This deck uses 2 characters you get for free, so all you need to pull is Mona to build it.
*If you're short on cards, feel free to substitute with whatever you already have.

Character Card Order (*Note: the order matters)
Fischl	Sucrose	Mona

Equipment (Talent) Cards
Raven Bow×2	Chaotic Entropy×2	-
Support Cards
Liben×2	Knights of Favonius Library×2	Liyue Harbor Wharf×2
Liu Su×1	Chang the Ninth×2	Kathryne×1
Event Cards
Quick Knit×2	Strategize×2	The Bestest Travel Companion!×2
Toss-Up×2	Calx's Arts×2	Leave It to Me!×2
When the Crane Returned×2	Changing Shifts×2	-

Cards to Prioritize

Character	Why It's Recommended
Raven Bow	- Strengthens Fischl's Elemental Skill while also dealing damage - Recommended since Fischl's Elemental Skill is central to this deck
When the Crane Returned	- Lets you attack with a Skill and switch characters at the same time - After When the Crane Returned + Fischl's Skill, you can immediately switch into Sucrose
Leave It to Me!	- Lets you switch characters as a Quick Action at 0 cost - Recommended since it makes triggering Elemental Reactions easier
Chang the Ninth	- Trigger 3 Elemental Reactions to draw 2 cards at 0 cost - Also helps thin your deck - Worth prioritizing since this deck can go for Elemental Reactions from the very first turn

Turn 1: Use Fischl, Then Sucrose, to Spread Electro

To open, use Fischl's Elemental Skill to apply Electro to the opponent. After that, aim to use Sucrose's Skill to trigger an Electro Swirl and spread Electro across the whole enemy team. Deploying Fischl's Oz on the first turn lets you apply Electro even during the End Phase, which makes it easier to line up a Swirl as well.

Turn 2: Try to Get Sucrose's Elemental Burst Off Too

Conditions permitting, getting Sucrose's Elemental Burst off on turn 2 brings you closer to the ideal play pattern. Using her Elemental Burst lets you place down a Summon capable of triggering Anemo Swirl, which means your next attack's element could be spread to the whole enemy team through Swirl as well.

Turn 3: Go for AoE Damage with Mona's Elemental Skill

Once turn 3 comes around, use Mona's Elemental Skill to trigger Electro-Charged and chip away at the whole enemy team with AoE damage. From there, you'll be fine as long as you keep in mind that you should apply elements to the whole enemy team via Swirl as much as possible before going for damage.

Frozen, Electro-Charged & Superconduct Deck

Character Card Order (*Note: the order matters)
Keqing	Mona	Ganyu

Equipment (Talent) Cards
Thundering Penance×2	Undivided Heart×2	-
Support Cards
Liben×2	Knights of Favonius Library×1	Liyue Harbor Wharf×2
Liu Su×2	Chang the Ninth×2	Kathryne×1
Event Cards
Strategize×2	The Bestest Travel Companion!×2	Toss-Up×2
Calx's Arts×2	Leave It to Me!×2	When the Crane Returned×2
Starsigns×2	Changing Shifts×2	-

Cards to Prioritize

Character	Why It's Recommended
Thundering Penance	- Keqing's Skill Talent card - Recommended since her Skill is central to this deck
Undivided Heart	- Ganyu's Skill Talent card - Recommended since her Skill is central to this deck
When the Crane Returned	- Lets you attack with a Skill and switch characters at the same time - After When the Crane Returned + Keqing's Skill, you can immediately switch into Mona
Leave It to Me!	- Lets you switch characters as a Quick Action at 0 cost - Recommended since it makes triggering Elemental Reactions easier
The Bestest Travel Companion!	- Generates 2 Omni Element - Recommended if you draw it, since Undivided Heart has a heavy cost

Decide Whether to Go for Frozen or AoE Damage Based on the Opponent

The strength of this Frozen/Superconduct deck is being able to choose between "Frozen," which freezes the enemy, and AoE damage via Superconduct or Electro-Charged. It's best to check your opening hand before deciding whether to play aggressively or defensively. If you're not sure, leading with Mona keeps your options open — keep that in mind too.

Keep Ganyu's AoE Damage in Mind As Well

The key thing to keep in mind while piloting this deck is when to land Ganyu's attack, which deals AoE piercing damage. Chip away at the whole enemy team's HP with Electro-Charged and similar reactions, set up your hand, and adjust their HP so Ganyu can wipe them all out.
