Before discussing more specifically about Engulfing Lightning, it's better if we first talk about the types of weapons in Genshin Impact.

For fans of Genshin Impact, the lineup of melee weapons has its own charm. This is because the existence of weapons in this category is very diverse and has many forms. So it's only natural that in the end there will be more characters with this type of combat instead of ranged ones.

Of the many melee weapons, there is one category that is spelled out as a "Galah" weapon or what is also called a "Polearm". Weapons in this category have the characteristic of having a long side blade.

There are many weapons that fall into this category, both sharp weapons such as Halberds, Spears, Pike, and Lances; to blunt types such as Poles and Staff.

So, now we go into a detailed discussion regarding Engulfing Lightning itself. The following is the discussion:

• Extrinsic Elements and Lore

Apart from being included in the melee weapon category, this one weapon also belongs to the "Polearm" type as has been described above.

Judging from his lore, Engulfing Lightning is also known as a 'grass cutter'. This is based on the weapon's ability to easily cut down enemies that line up in front of its user – it's as if the enemy line is like weeds that are immediately cleared away!

Not only that, as a melee weapon, this Polearm is also included in the Inazuma class of weapons. It refers to an isolated region in the far eastern part of the Tevyat continent, where all the world's adventures are Genshin Impact going on.

• Status and Mechanics

Next is the status and mechanics of the weapon. Starting from the skill he has called "Timeless Dream: Eternal Stove".

This skill provides an additional bonus attack (ATK) effect when performing Energy Recharge above 100%. In addition, by launching Elemental Burst, the Energy Recharge generated will also increase for a certain period of time. This amount certainly depends on the Refinement owned.

Until the latest update patch in July 2023, Engulfing Lightning's base attack ranges from 46-608 (level 1-90). For the type of secondary status, namely Energy Recharge, has a percentage that is in the range of 12%-55.1% at the same level range.

• Material Ascensions

For his ascensions (ASC) materials, Engulfing Lightning requires items that range from Masks, Chaos, Handguards and of course Mora.

The total amount of all materials needed from ASC 1 to 6 can be seen in the following table diagram:

• Characters Who Fit It

And lastly is the character that is suitable for the weapon. There are at least eight characters that are appropriate when using Engulfing Lightning. Of course each character has its own build. Here is the exposure:

  • Mika – Cryo – Build Support
  • Raiden Shogun – Electro – Build Damage per second (DPS)
  • Rosaria – Cryo – Reverse Melt Freeze
  • Shenhe – Cryo – Build Support
  • Xiangling – Pyro – Build DPS
  • Xiao – Anemo – Build DPS
  • Yun Jin – Geo – Build Support
  • Zhongli – Geo – Burst Support

Yep, from the explanation above, of course it can be concluded that just because this weapon has an electric element ("Lightning" which means "Lightning") doesn't mean it is more compatible with Electro Elements, you know! Many characters with other elements can also maximize the use of this weapon!
