Introduction: Why Cooking Matters in Teyvat

Let's be honest, Teyvat is beautiful, but it’s also dangerous. Whether you're facing down a challenging Spiral Abyss rotation, tackling a world boss that just won’t stay down, or just trying to explore the vast reaches of Fontaine without running out of stamina, survival often hinges on more than just raw combat prowess. It hinges on the right snack.

Yes, we’re talking about food buffs in Genshin Impact.

For new players, cooking often feels like a quaint side activity—a way to use up those excess fish and vegetables. But for seasoned adventurers, mastering the culinary arts is a core component of optimizing your team. Food buffs aren't just flavor text; they are powerful, temporary stat boosts that can literally make the difference between a clean sweep and a frustrating reset.

This comprehensive Genshin Guide is designed to demystify the world of in-game gastronomy. We’ll break down what food buffs are, how they stack, which ones are essential, and how to cook your way to victory.

The Basics: What Are Food Buffs and How Do They Work?

In Genshin Impact, food items generally fall into three categories:

1. Restorative Dishes: These primarily heal HP or restore Stamina. These are your standard emergency rations.
2. Revival Dishes: These bring fallen characters back into the fight with a set amount of HP.
3. Buff Dishes (The Focus of this Guide): These provide temporary, significant statistical increases to ATK, DEF, CRIT Rate/DMG, Stamina regeneration, and more.

The Buff Cap and Duration

The most crucial thing to understand about food buffs is their limitations:

Stacking: You can only have one active buff dish applied to a character at any given time. If you eat another buff dish, it replaces the existing one. You cannot stack an ATK buff dish on top of a CRIT Rate buff dish; you must choose one.
Duration: Most powerful combat food buffs last for 10 minutes (600 seconds) in the open world and domains. In Spiral Abyss, the duration is significantly shorter, usually 5 minutes (300 seconds). Always keep track of the timer!
Character Specificity: Buffs apply immediately upon consumption. If you switch characters, the buff remains on the character that ate the food until the timer runs out or you eat another buff dish. This is key for team setup!

Tiering the Best Buffs: Choosing Your Culinary Weapon

Not all dishes are created equal. The effectiveness of a food buff is directly related to the rarity of the ingredients used and the specific recipe. Generally, 3-star (Purple/Epic) dishes offer the strongest boosts.

1. The Offensive Powerhouses (ATK & CRIT)

When you need raw damage output, these are your go-to meals.

ATK Boosting Dishes

ATK buffs are the most straightforward damage amplifiers. They are categorized by the percentage increase they provide:

2-Star (Green): Offers a modest ATK increase (e.g., Satisfying Salad). Good for early game or low-stakes exploration.
3-Star (Blue/Purple): The bread and butter of serious endgame pushes. The premier example is the Pile 'Em Up (from the Liyue Reputation system), which grants a massive ATK percentage increase. Other great 3-star options often come from character signature dishes or specific regional recipes.
Key Takeaway: Always aim for the highest percentage ATK buff available to your roster.
