Genshin Impact - Gacha Game with Co-op Combat Feature with Friends
The Co-Op feature will only appear when your main character reaches Level 16 in the game, taking about two to three hours to achieve this in the game, so you will need to explore the world on your own for a while before starting to ask friends to join you. It's a fairly new approach for games of this genre, where Co-op is usually available from the beginning or after a short tutorial, but the developer gives you a stable time before you can assemble a team.
How to invite friends to play Co-Op in Genshin Impact
At the bottom of the screen, you will see UID followed by a string of numbers, this is your unique identification number and you will need to provide this number to others, or ask them to send it to you to become friends in the Genshin Impact game. You send and accept Friend Requests from the Friends section in the Menu => then invite them to fight together.
Missions That Can Be Completed in Co-Op in Genshin Impact
Main storyline missions (or storyline quests) cannot be completed while battling with your friends, so it's best to focus on them right from the start when the main character reaches Level 16, save the side quests and world quests for co-op play in Genshin Impact with friends.
No matter what platform you're playing Genshin Impact on, you can still play with your friends as soon as this feature is unlocked, regardless of the device they're playing on.
