Genshin Impact Elemental Reactions: The Full List

1 min read

Seven elements, and a growing web of reactions between them. Here is every reaction currently in the game, grouped by what triggers it.

Genshin Impact elemental reactions are what happen when two of the game's seven elements — Anemo, Geo, Pyro, Hydro, Cryo, Electro and Dendro — meet on the same enemy. The list has grown considerably since launch.

The core reactions

Vaporize — Pyro meets Hydro.
Melt — Pyro meets Cryo.
Overloaded — Pyro meets Electro, causing an AOE explosion.
Electro-Charged — Electro meets Hydro, dealing damage over time.
Superconduct — Electro meets Cryo, lowering Physical resistance.
Frozen — Cryo meets Hydro, immobilising the target.
Swirl — Anemo spreads another element's damage to nearby enemies.
Crystallize — Geo creates a pickup shield from another element.

The Dendro web

Dendro reacts differently depending on the second element: Quicken with Electro (branching into Aggravate and Spread), and Bloom with Hydro (branching into Hyperbloom and Burgeon).

The newer additions

Lunar-Charged, Lunar-Bloom and Lunar-Crystallize arrived with Version 6.0. Stellar-Conduct, Stellar-Swirl and Stellar Glimmer followed as part of the Witch's Revelation system in Version 6.7, and only trigger with a Stellar Linchpin character on the team.
