In the Teyvat continent constructed by Genshin Impact, elemental reactions are the core elements of the combat system. Skillfully using the interactions between elements can achieve twice the result with half the effort in battles. There are seven elements in the Teyvat continent, namely Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, Geo, Anemo, Electro, and Dendro. When they collide with each other, diverse and wonderful reactions are derived.

Amplification Reactions

Vaporize

When Hydro and Pyro elements meet, the Vaporize reaction is triggered. This reaction does not directly cause damage but significantly increases the damage of the triggering attack. When a Pyro attack first makes an enemy afflicted with Pyro element, and then a Hydro attack triggers Vaporize, the damage will be increased to twice the original; conversely, if Hydro element is attached first and then triggered by a Pyro attack, the damage will be increased by 1.5 times. For example, in the Wandan International team, Xiangling's Pyro skills combined with Xingqiu's Hydro skills can frequently trigger the Vaporize reaction and deal high damage.

Melt

The Melt reaction is triggered when Pyro and Cryo elements come into contact. Similarly, Melt itself does not cause damage but enhances the power of the triggering attack. When a Pyro attack hits an enemy with Cryo element attached, the damage multiplier is 200%; when a Cryo attack hits an enemy with Pyro element attached, the damage multiplier is 150%. Characters like Ganyu, a Cryo character, can significantly increase their output when paired with Pyro characters and using the Melt reaction.

Aggravate Reactions

Overloaded

The Overloaded reaction is triggered when Electro and Pyro elements meet, resulting in a violent Pyro - attribute area explosion, dealing considerable area damage to enemies. However, the Overloaded reaction will knock back smaller - sized enemies. In battle scenarios where controlling the enemy's position is required, careful use is needed. For example, when mining, the Overloaded reaction can easily blast away ores.

Superconduct

The interaction between Electro and Cryo elements generates the Superconduct reaction, instantly causing Cryo - element area damage and significantly reducing the enemy's physical resistance for the next 12 seconds. The Superconduct reaction is often used in combination with physical - damage - dealing characters to enhance their output capabilities.

Electro - Charged

When Hydro and Electro elements come into contact, the Electro - Charged reaction is formed, continuously causing Electro - element damage to enemies with Hydro element attached. Moreover, the Electro - Charged reaction can have a chain - conduction effect among multiple enemies. When facing a group of enemies, it can cause considerable area damage. The Sucrose Armed team makes full use of the characteristics of the Electro - Charged reaction.

Swirl

The Anemo element has a unique Swirl ability. When Anemo - element skills come into contact with Hydro, Pyro, Electro, or Cryo elements, these elements will be Swirled to a larger range, causing area damage of the corresponding elements to surrounding enemies. For example, Kazuha's skills can gather enemies and Swirl elements, not only expanding the influence range of elements but also increasing the overall elemental damage of the team.

Crystallize

When the Geo element comes into contact with Hydro, Pyro, Cryo, or Electro elements, the Crystallize reaction occurs, generating corresponding - element shards. When a character picks up the shards, they can obtain a shield that can absorb damage of the corresponding element, providing certain survival protection for the character. Although the Geo element itself cannot attach to enemies like other elements, the Crystallize reaction also has a non - negligible role in battles.

Burning

The Burn reaction is triggered when Pyro and Dendro elements meet. The Dendro element will be continuously consumed, causing continuous Pyro - element damage to the enemy until the Dendro element is exhausted. In some scenarios, using the Burn reaction can quickly clear grass or cause continuous small - amount damage to enemies.

Bloom

The reaction between Hydro and Dendro elements produces the Bloom reaction, generating "Dendro Cores". At most 5 Dendro Cores can exist simultaneously. After 6 seconds of generation, they will automatically explode, causing Dendro - element area damage. The Bloom reaction has opened a new chapter in Dendro - related reactions, bringing more changes to combat strategies.

Hyperbloom

When Dendro Cores come into contact with the Electro element, the Hyperbloom reaction is triggered. The Dendro Cores will transform into homing Sprouts that automatically track and attack enemies, causing Electro - element damage. Teams like the Dendro - Xingqiu - Kokomi team often use the Hyperbloom reaction to deal continuous output.

Burgeon

When Dendro Cores meet the Pyro element, the Burgeon reaction is triggered. The Dendro Cores will explode violently, causing Pyro - element area damage to surrounding enemies and triggering the Burn reaction at the same time. Thoma's Bloom team is a typical example of using the Burgeon reaction.

Quicken

When Dendro and Electro elements meet, the Quicken reaction is first triggered. This is a damage - increasing state. When an enemy is in the Quicken state and is attacked by Dendro or Electro elements, the Spread and Aggravate reactions will be triggered respectively. Spread increases Dendro - element damage, and Aggravate increases Electro - element damage. The Dendro - Electro team with Tighnari as the core can deal high Dendro - Electro damage by frequently triggering the Quicken reaction.

In the battles of Genshin Impact, reasonably matching characters, skillfully using elemental reactions, choosing the optimal elemental - reaction combination according to the characteristics of enemies, and grasping the triggering timing of reactions will greatly improve combat efficiency, making players more comfortable and proficient in the adventure of exploring the Teyvat continent.
