7Utilize The Right Elemental Reactions
Characters in Genshin Impact are divided into seven distinct elements: Pyro, Cryo, Hydro, Electro, Dendro, Anemo, and Geo, andmixing different elements willtrigger Elemental Reactions, which varying effects that can help you in battle:
Electro
Overloaded
Triggers an explosionthat can break certain Geo shields, and stagger enemies.
Freezes enemiesand prevents them from moving or attacking.
Electro-Charged
Deals Damage over Timeto enemies and spreads to enemies that are affected by Hydro.
Hydro
Bloom
Generates a Dendro Corethat detonates after a few seconds. Dendro Cores can interact with other elements to trigger further reactions.
Pyro
Burgeon
Immediately detonates all affected Dendro Cores, dealing more DMG and having a wider explosion radius.
Hyperbloom
Turns affected Dendro Cores into Sprawling Shots thatimmediately attack a target enemy.
Quicken
Applies the Catalyze statusto enemies. While enemies are Catalyzed, you can use other elements to increase their DMG.
Pyro, Cryo, Electro, Hydro
Swirl
Deals AoE DMG and spreads the Swirled element to nearby enemies. When the element is spread, deals additional DMG of that element.
Crystallize
Generates a Crystallize Shard that creates a shield when you pick it up.
When fighting challenging enemies, make sure to trigger Elemental Reactions to give you the upper hand in battle andsignificantly increase your DMG output.Elemental Reactions scale off of the Elemental Mastery stat, so the more EM you have, the more potent your reactions will be.
6Build A Team That Works Well Together
Aside from possessing different elements that can trigger Elemental Reactions, your characters also have unique kits that determine the role that they play in your team. Characters can either be themain DMG dealer, off-field DMG dealer, element applicator, DMG buffer, or defensive options.
Know which characters perform which roles and pair them together to create an effective team. For example, if you want to build a team that’s centered around the Vaporize reaction, you’ll need a Hydro character (Xingqiu) to consistently apply Hydro, a Pyro character (Xiangling) to deal high Vaporize DMG, a support (Sucrose) that can increase your characters’ DMG, and a defensive option (Bennett) that can heal or shield your characters from danger.
5Make Use Of Elemental Resonance
When you have at least two characters of the same element in your team, you can trigger an Elemental Resonance.These are a set of effects that increase your entire team’s stats and will not go away no matter what:
Make use of Elemental Resonance to effortlessly gain a cheap stat boost, which in turn will increase your character’s DMG. When building your team, it’s recommended to get a character that matches the element of your DMG dealer so they can obtain Elemental Resonance of their element.
4Learn The Proper Rotations For Your Team
While your gameplay is completely up to you, knowing the order of when to use your characters’ skills and buffs can help you deal more DMG and defeat enemies faster. This can be more effective compared to throwing random skills whenever they’re available, and can also sometimes mess with your Elemental Reactions and skill cooldowns.
For example, in a team composed of Hu Tao, Zhongli, Xingqiu, and Yelan, the rotation goes like this:
3Know Which Stats Your Characters Scale With
Most characters in general will deal DMG based on their ATK stat, so the higher their ATK, the higher the DMG output. However, there are unique cases where characters can scale with other stats,such as HP, DEF, EM, and ER.
Aside from increasing your stats, verify to increase your characters' necessary Talent levels as well.
It’s important toread your characters’ skill descriptions to know which stats they want,and which ones are useless. Characters likeAlhaithamandNeuvillettescale with EM and HP respectively, so they would much rather want buffs from Nahida or Hydro Resonance instead of the ATK buff from Bennett or Noblesse Oblige.
2Fix Your CRIT Ratio
Characters in Genshin Impact can deal Critical Hits, which deal an increased amount of DMG. The probability of an attack to CRIT depends on your CRIT Rate, while the amount of DMG it deals will depend on your CRIT DMG.
A mistake that you shouldn’t make when building your characters is stacking too much CRIT DMG and forgetting about CRIT Rate. Having high CRIT Rate allows you to deal CRIT Hits much more often, leading to steady and consistent DMG, as such,it’s important to have at least a 60 to 70 percent CRIT Rate before building into CRIT DMG.
Use the 1:2 ratio when determining your CRIT stats. This means your CRIT DMG should be at least double the amount of your CRIT Rate or more. For example, 70:140.
1Make Sure You Have Enough Energy Recharge
Each character has an Elemental Burst that can aid you greatly in battle, with some providing high DMG, healing, or buffs. To use an Elemental Burst, your characters need to have enough Energy, which you’re able to gain through collecting Energy Particles.
The amount of Energy that your characters gain from Energy Particles may vary, and that depends on their Energy Recharge stat.
When building your characters, look out for Energy Recharge in your artifacts as well, as some character’s Elemental Burst have Burst cost, asnot having your Bursts ready when you need them can put you at a disadvantage.With enough Energy, you’re able to comfortably use your Elemental Bursts every time you need them, which allows you to deal more DMG and defeat enemies faster.
