The Elements in Genshin Impact

Elements are important in Genshin Impact. This has something to do with vision.

Vision is the power given to the chosen ones in Teyvat, the setting where Genshin Impact is.

It is said that vision will give everyone an additional element.  What basic elements are given to each person and who actually gives them vision not yet known because in one quests The Archon explained that it was not the Archon himself who gave it vision.

Vision is what makes the character you play (except traveler) can use elements. Each character currently can only use 1 element.

There are 7 elements that can be used by characters, namely Pyro, Cryo, Electro, Hydro, Geo, Anemo, and Dendro. 

These 7 elements represent the 7 regional countries and the Archons in Genshin Impact, for example Liyue and Morax represent the elements geo.

The following is a list of elements in Genshin Impact:

  • Anemone: air (wind)

Complete Explanation of Genshin Impact Elemental Reactions

Genshin Impact Elemental Reaction Table

Genshin Impact's elemental reactions are triggered by applying a certain combination of elemental effects to the target which can be enemies, fellow players, or objects.

When an element is applied to the target, that element will give status/aura. To see it, you just have to look at the enemy animation or the small symbol on it bar HP object.

For example, when you attack with pyro there will be a small fire symbol at the end of the enemy's HP bar. Animation is sometimes also equipped and you can see the enemy on fire.

The applied element will usually last for 9-12 seconds (sometimes longer) depending on the skill used. The status will disappear when the small sign disappears from bar enemies, or missing animations. 

Genshin Impact's elemental reactions occur when applying multiple elements to a target. When you apply another element to an enemy that has been hit by the previous element, an elemental reaction will occur.  

Occasionally, the reaction would remove the elemental aura from the target. For example when you use the character claymore like Chongyun, can happen shatter which removes elemental reactions and statuses cryo.

All damage produced from Genshin Impact elemental reactions can be increased if elemental mastery stat sufficient. 

The higher it is elemental mastery character then damage Genshin Impact's elemental reaction will be even higher.
