Reddit user kevinkassimo posted a screenshot of classes offered by StuCo, an educational organization that is part of Carnegie Mellon University, showing that students can receive credits by learning how to build teams in Genshin Impact. According to the official page, StuCo is a student-led organization which allows Carnegie Mellon students to teach classes on any topic and share their knowledge with others. Despite not being available through university offerings, these classes give them three credits for their work. Once a week, students can join a course titled Genshin Impact: Team Building, which teaches them how to combine characters in the gacha-based RPG.
One of the students who took this class went on Reddit to say that it was fun to play Genshin Impact with other students. They participated in a TCG tournament and did a lot of practice to build a solid team while the course's final exam was to defeat a boss whom they had never encountered before, in two minutes using a different set of characters.
Genshin Impact features a diverse range of content players can complete with a balanced team that favors elemental reactions. Some team compositions set themselves apart from others thanks to their versatility and offensive capabilities. When building a roster, players should give a chance to characters with healing and crowd-control abilities, as they will need them to clear endgame content.

WHERE TO PLAY
Step into Teyvat, a vast world teeming with life and flowing with elemental energy.
You and your sibling arrived here from another world. Separated by an unknown god, stripped of your powers, and cast into a deep slumber, you now awake to a world very different from when you first arrived.
Thus begins your journey across Teyvat to seek answers from The Seven — the gods of each element. Along the way, prepare to explore every inch of this wondrous world, join forces with a diverse range of characters, and unravel the countless mysteries that Teyvat holds...
MASSIVE OPEN WORLD
Climb any mountain, swim across any river, and glide over the world below, taking in the jaw-dropping scenery each step of the way. And if you stop to investigate a wandering Seelie or strange mechanism, who knows what you might discover?
ELEMENTAL COMBAT SYSTEM
Harness the seven elements to unleash elemental reactions. Anemo, Electro, Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Dendro, and Geo interact in all sorts of ways, and Vision wielders have the power to turn this to their advantage.
Will you vaporize Hydro with Pyro, electro-charge it with Electro, or freeze it with Cryo? Your mastery of the elements will give you the upper hand in battle and exploration.
BEAUTIFUL VISUALS
Feast your eyes on the world around you, with a stunning art style, real-time rendering, and finely tuned character animations delivering you a truly immersive visual experience. Lighting and weather all change naturally over time, bringing every detail of this world to life.
SOOTHING SOUNDTRACK
Let the beautiful sounds of Teyvat draw you in as you explore the expansive world around you. Performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the soundtrack changes seamlessly with the time and gameplay to match the mood.
BUILD YOUR DREAM TEAM
Team up with a diverse cast of characters in Teyvat, each with their own unique personalities, stories, and abilities. Discover your favorite party combinations and level up your characters to help you conquer even the most daunting of enemies and domains.
JOURNEY WITH FRIENDS
Team up with friends across various platforms to trigger more elemental action, tackle tricky boss fights, and conquer challenging domains together to reap rich rewards.
As you stand atop the peaks of Jueyun Karst and take in the rolling clouds and vast terrain stretching out before you, you may wish to stay in Teyvat a little longer... But until you are reunited with your lost sibling, how can you rest? Go forth, Traveler, and begin your adventure!
