Summary
- A Genshin Impact player constructs a tennis court in-game using the Serenitea Pot and the penguin critter.
- Jean's Elemental Skill can be used to play tennis in-game; she's a valuable free 5-star character.
Using the Serenitea Pot and the penguin critter from Natlan, a Genshin Impact player was able to construct a functional tennis court in-game. While the Spiral Abyss and exploring the open world are valuable pursuits in Genshin Impact, some players dedicate hundreds of hours to creating their perfect home in the Serenitea Pot. Granted by Madame Ping, the Serenitea Pot is an Adeptal Abode that the Traveler can decorate to their heart's desire, and effectively functions as Genshin Impact's housing system.
The Serenitea Pot has often been subjected to quality-of-life changes in Genshin Impact, and the latest update has significantly increased the furniture capacity for both interior and exterior areas. This has allowed Genshin Impact players to achieve more complex builds, especially if the build happens to use a lot of duplicate objects.
Genshin Impact Chart Shows Most Owned 5-star Characters in Update 5.0
An interesting Genshin Impact chart ranks the game's limited five-star playable characters by their ownership rate in update 5.0.
A Genshin Impact player by the name of HEB_AQW has managed to build a tennis court inside their teapot, using the Swirling Isles Realm as a foundation. While the tennis court itself is already impressive enough, what elevates the concept is using the new penguin critter from Natlan as a tennis ball. Rather amusingly, Neuvillette in Genshin Impact functions as the judge, while the players take the role of Jean, since her Elemental Skill allows them to aim and push an entity away – much like a ball on a tennis court.
Genshin Impact Players Simulate a Tennis Match
The video was showcased on the Genshin Impact subreddit, where it received plenty of praise from the community. Other fans even requested for HoYoverse to add a functional ball, as the penguin is ultimately an improvisation. While other Anemo characters in Genshin Impact can serve a similar function to Jean, her Elemental Skill is the only one capable of pulling an object towards her, which makes for convenient aiming.
Jean can be acquired as a free 5-Star character in Genshin Impact for the duration of Version 5.0, as the game celebrates its fourth Anniversary. As an Anemo Healer who works well with Furina, Jean is considered to be one of the most valuable 5-Stars from the Standard Banner. Beyond being able to play tennis with her Gale Blade, players who have mastered Jean's Elemental Skill can also attempt to obtain a unique Envisaged Echo, which was added to the Imaginarium Theater as a potential reward in Version 4.8. As for upcoming Anemo characters, Genshin Impact players can look forward to seeing Chasca make her debut on the Event Banners in Version 5.2.
