About
Genshin Build
An independent Genshin Impact database. Entity data is read from the game's own files; the writing on top of it is written by a person and says so. Nothing here is a survey result and nothing here is generated to fill space.
Where the data comes from
| Source | What it provides | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Project Amber | Characters, weapons, artifact sets, materials, furnishing sets, talent scalings and every icon on the site. | It mirrors the game’s own files, so a number here is the number the game ships rather than somebody’s transcription of it. |
| genshin-db | Computed stats at level 90, and the version a character or weapon debuted in. | The growth curves are not exposed by the API, and reimplementing them would add a class of error the package has already removed. |
| prydwen.gg | Playtested builds for the characters it writes a full guide for: weapon and artifact rankings, main stats, stat and talent priorities, Energy Recharge targets, combos, and the tier list. | A ranking measured in play beats one derived from the kit. It is reused with Prydwen’s permission, rephrased, and credited with a link on every page that uses it. |
| HoYoverse, official channels | Wish rates, pity counts, banner mechanics. | These are stated by the operator in the in-game details panel. Where a number is not stated (soft pity, for one), the page says so instead of presenting a community estimate as official. |
Playtested where it exists, derived where it does not
Where prydwen.gg publishes a playtested build for a character, that build leads the page: the weapon ranking, the artifact sets, the stat targets and the rotation are theirs, rephrased and credited. For every other character the build is derived. Each derivation runs a stated rule over the game’s own numbers: which stat a kit multiplies is read from its scaling rows, not from its prose; a weapon is ranked on whether its ascension stat and passive act on that stat; a tier is a share of a published score whose components are printed next to the character.
The point of doing it that way is that you can disagree with the rule. A ranking nobody can check is a ranking nobody should trust, including one that happens to be right.
What a derivation cannot see is rotation timing, constellation levels, and how a character performs against a specific Abyss floor. That is why a playtested build replaces it as soon as one exists.
What this site will not do
- Cite itself. If the only page on the open web carrying a claim is this one, the claim is unsourced. A search engine echoing our own page back is not corroboration.
- Publish unverifiable dates. Banner windows and event dates are claims with dates on them. Where there is no source we can check, the page says so rather than transcribing a screenshot.
- Invent ratings. No aggregate rating, no review count, no tier score assigned by hand. We have surveyed nobody.
- Take another site’s work. No copied prose, no images carrying another site’s framing, crop or watermark.
- Ship a page to hold an ad slot. A route either has content or does not exist.
Corrections
Every entity page carries the date its data was last read from source. If a number here disagrees with the game, the game is right and we want to know. Corrections go through the contact route on the contact page.
