Many players have suggested the All-Devouring Narwhal’smeta relevance in Genius Invokation TCGis due to its incredible synergy with Keqing’s Character Card. The All-Devouring Narwhal’s Passive Skill increases its HP based on players discarding or Tuning their cards, gaining more HP when cards of the same Element are used. The powerful combo with Keqing features the Electro Character generating “Lightning Stiletto” cards with her Skill and feeding them into the Narwhal, allowing it to gain an absurd amount of HP quickly.
The dominance of All-Devouring Narwhal comes asGenshin Impactrecently added more new cards to the TCG with Version 4.8. The newest update to theGenshin ImpactTCG brought three new Character Cards to the digital card game, with Navia, Chevreuse, and Frost Operative making their playable debut.Chevreuse’s release in Genius Invokation TCGhas clearly caught on with fans of the TCG as well, boasting one of the highest play rates in the Fonta Cup. The All-Devouring Narwhal’s overwhelming popularity inGenshin Impact’s recent tournament will be one for the record books for Genius Invokation TCG.
