Welcome, Traveler!

In Archons' Gambit, the seven nations of Teyvat compete against one another over two rounds. In the preliminary, players of the same nation compete among themselves for the top spots. In the finals, the two best players from each qualifying nation pair up to represent it. Paimon has written everything down in the Adventurer's Handbook (PDF).

Each nation's preliminary questions follow its element and identity, in both the Genshin and the Anime segment.

The rules

How the Gambit works

Registration

  • Registration is free and individual.
  • Pick two nations in order. After registration closes you're assigned to one of them. Your first choice comes first, and nation sizes are kept reasonably balanced.
  • You can ask for one friend to be in the same nation. As long as it doesn't badly unbalance the nations, we'll do it.

Preliminary round

  • 28 November 2026, on Discord. Everyone plays individually.
  • A buzzer quiz where each nation gets questions themed around its element or identity.
  • Buzzer procedure, marking, response time and penalties are announced before the quiz begins.
Segment 01Genshin ImpactCharacters and lore of each nation.
Segment 02AnimeAnime and characters tied to the nation's element or theme.

Play either segment or both. The two scores are kept separate.

Who reaches the finals

  • The top five nations advance, ranked by the average score of eligible players: those who attempt at least half of the questions.
  • From each of those nations, the top Genshin scorer and the top Anime scorer pair up. If one player tops both, they take the segment where they scored higher, and the next-best player fills the other slot.
  • Every finalist gets free entry to the main event. If someone can't attend, their slot passes to the next-best scorer of that nation.

The finals

  • 5 December 2026, live at Fusion Play 2.0. A battle of nations.
  • Questions are open this time. Besides Genshin Impact and popular anime, they may cover other HoYoverse games such as Honkai: Star Rail and Zenless Zone Zero.
  • The top three teams win gift merchandise for every member.
