Running Outta Breath in Teyvat? Let’s Talk Stamina and Statues in Genshin Impact
Feel like your Traveler has the lung capacity of a goldfish in Genshin Impact? You sprint through Teyvat, ready to grab loot. Suddenly, you find yourself wheezing on the ground. Yeah, stamina. It’s that green bar guiding your climbing, gliding, and sprinting. We’ve all wished for a stamina-restoring dish. Let’s explore how to boost that stamina bar and the wonders of Statues of the Seven.
Stamina 101: More Than Just Running
Stamina isn’t just for running away from Hilichurls. It fuels many actions in Genshin. Want to climb a cliff without sliding back down? Stamina. What about gracefully gliding from a mountain? Stamina. Charged attacks? Yep, stamina. You need stamina for anything athletic. Luckily, it’s not fixed. You can increase your max stamina, becoming more tireless.
Boosting Your Stamina: Level Up Those Statues!
The key to better stamina? Statues of the Seven in Mondstadt and Liyue. These aren’t just pretty landmarks; they are your stamina trainers. To gain more stamina, you must level them up. You ask how? Oculi, my friend. They are collectibles scattered across regions.
- Anemoculus (Mondstadt): These blue orbs are found throughout Mondstadt. Collect and offer them to the Statue of the Seven for a stamina boost.
- Geoculus (Liyue): These golden orbs are Liyue’s stamina boosters. Hunt them across Liyue’s landscapes and offer to the Statue of the Seven.
Leveling these statues increases max stamina permanently. Keep exploring and collecting Oculi to boost your stamina!
Max Stamina: Is 240 the Limit?
Your max stamina can reach 240 thanks to Statue of the Seven level-ups. Once maxed out, you’ll climb, run, and glide like a pro with full stamina. Think of it as peak fitness in Teyvat. Say goodbye to embarrassing out-of-breath moments.
Stamina Restoration: Snack Time!
Even with max stamina, you might push it too far. This is where dishes for stamina restoration come in handy. Some Teyvat dishes are designed for quick stamina boosts. Here are a few:
- Qingxin Flower Cake: This cake is great for a quick stamina pick-me-up.
- Jade-Cut Flowers: A floral snack that helps when stamina wavers.
- Fruit-Flavored Milk Candies: Sweet and stamina-boosting! Perfect for long explorations.
- BBQ Beef Heart Skewers: Hearty skewers for meat lovers that provide a stamina boost.
Keep some dishes for those “oh-no-I’m-about-to-fall-off-a-cliff” situations. They can save you.
Stamina Drainers: What Knocks the Wind Out of You?
Genshin isn’t real life, thankfully! Yet certain things can drain your stamina in-game. It’s not respiratory issues or weak muscles like reality. In Genshin, stamina depletion comes from:
- Physical Exertion: Sprinting, climbing, gliding, and charged attacks.
- Environmental Factors: Extreme cold in Dragonspine can impact stamina management due to Sheer Cold accumulation.
Your Traveler won’t develop asthma from battling Ruin Guards, but be mindful of actions and surroundings to manage stamina effectively.
Statues of the Seven and Oculi: A Deeper Dive
We discussed Statues and Oculi, but let’s explore these essential mechanics. They’re gateways to exploring Teyvat.
Which Statue Gives Stamina? Mondstadt and Liyue
The Statues of the Seven in Mondstadt and Liyue are key for boosting maximum stamina. Offer Anemoculi to the Mondstadt statue and Geoculi to Liyue statue for increased stamina. Other statues offer different rewards, but for stamina, focus on these two regions.
Oculi Counts: How Many Do You Need?
Every region has its own Oculus type, and each statue level needs specific offerings. Here’s a breakdown of Oculi counts per region.
Anemoculus (Mondstadt)
To max out the Mondstadt Statue to Level 10, you need 65 Anemoculi. Here’s a breakdown for later levels:
| Level | Anemoculus Required | Total Anemoculus (Cumulative) |
| 8 → 9 | 12 | 50 |
| 9 → 10 | 15 | 65 |
Geoculus (Liyue)
Leveling the Liyue Statue to Level 10 requires 130 Geoculi. Here’s the requirements for final levels:
| Level | Geoculus Required |
| 7 → 8 | 20 |
| 8 → 9 | 24 |
| 9 → 10 | 30 |
Dendroculus (Sumeru)
Sumeru needs 270 Dendroculi to fully level its Statue of the Seven to Level 10. It’s a scavenger hunt, but worth it!
Electroculus (Inazuma)
Inazuma has 181 Electroculi, enough to max its Statue with one left over. Efficient, right?
Hydroculus (Fontaine)
Fontaine needs 271 Hydroculi. Explore every corner of Fontaine’s watery terrain!
Pyroculus (Natlan)
In Natlan, you currently find 162 Pyroculi. This lets you level Natlan’s Statue to Level 7, progressing towards Level 8 (5/35). More Pyroculi updates are expected soon.
| Statue Level | Pyroculus Required |
| Level 2 | 20 |
| Level 3 | 22 |
| Level 4 | 25 |
| Level 5 | 28 |
Look forward to future updates as Natlan expands; more Pyroculi will help reach max level.
Inazuma Statues: Stamina or No Stamina?
A common question: Does Inazuma’s Statue of the Seven grant stamina? Nope. Inazuma statues do not increase max stamina. They provide other rewards like Adventure EXP and Primogems, which are valuable but not for your running.
The Inazuma Statue has 10 levels. Unlocking it requires reaching Adventure Rank 30 and advancing through the Archon Questline. A bit of effort but worthwhile for Electroculus hunting and Inazuma’s story.
Phlogiston in Natlan: Natlan’s Unique Mechanic
Natlan introduces Phlogiston, a resource bar unique to Natlan characters. It’s tied to combat abilities and exploration actions.
How to Get Phlogiston
You refill your Phlogiston bar by interacting with the environment:
- Everflame Seeds: Stand near these seeds to generate Phlogiston.
- Flaming Seed of Phlogiston: Touch these seeds for Phlogiston.
- Collectibles: Gathering Candlecap Mushrooms contributes to your Phlogiston supply.
- Creatures: Capturing Crystal Beetles and Pyro Crystalflies helps fill Phlogiston.
- Destructibles: Breaking Phlogiston Piles yields Phlogiston.
- Waypoints and Statues: Reaching a Teleport Waypoint or Statue in Natlan replenishes your Phlogiston.
Refilling the Natlan Bar: Teleport Trick
If you need a fast Phlogiston refill, use teleportation to quickly top up your resource in Natlan.
Bar is to teleport to a waypoint within Natlan. This helps you get back into the action fast!
Embercore Flowers: Phlogiston Blooms
Look for Embercore Flowers in Natlan. These fiery plants hold Phlogiston particles. Picking these flowers will boost your Phlogiston bar during your adventures in Natlan. They are both stunning and useful!
Other Game Mechanics: Quick Bites
Before we end, let’s cover a few common questions about Genshin’s mechanics.
Adventure Rank and World Level: Pushing the Limits
The maximum Adventure Rank is 60, and the maximum World Level is 9. Reaching these ranks shows your commitment to exploring Teyvat. Naturally, bragging rights come along with this.
FPS: Frames Per Second
Curious about the best gameplay experience? Genshin Impact’s max FPS is 60 FPS. Increase that setting in graphics options for smooth visuals and gameplay, if your device allows it. Butter-smooth combat awaits!
Primogems: The Currency
Primogems are vital for wishes and more. Want them quickly? That needs a whole guide! In short, focus on quests, events, daily commissions, Spiral Abyss, and vaulting every nook for chests. May the Primogem gods favor you.
Serenitea Pot Load: Decorating Limits
For Serenitea Pot fans, there’s a load limit of 10,000 for each room in your realm. Go ahead and decorate, but watch the load meter. Avoid the limit, or make tough choices about furniture placement.
So, there you go! A dive into stamina, Statues of the Seven, Oculi, Phlogiston, and other key mechanics in Genshin. Now, explore Teyvat, max out stamina, collect Oculi, and maybe your Traveler will stop sounding like they need an inhaler after jogging.
