In Genshin Impact, characters have various elemental abilities. Some can control fire (Pyro), ice (Cryo), electricity (Electro), water (Hydro), wind (Anemo), earth (Geo), and more. Each element has unique effects in combat and can interact with others for combo attacks and puzzle-solving.
Pyro Characters:
Pyro characters in Genshin Impact possess the ability to control fire. They can deal Pyro damage, which is effective against enemies with the Hydro element and can apply the "Burn" status, causing damage over time. Some notable Pyro characters include Diluc, Klee, Xiangling, and Bennett. Diluc's elemental skill, "Searing Onslaught," allows him to perform a powerful slash with Pyro damage, while his elemental burst, "Dawn," unleashes a fiery phoenix that deals continuous Pyro damage to enemies.
Hydro Characters:
Hydro characters have control over water and can deal Hydro damage. They are effective against enemies with the Pyro element and can apply the "Wet" status, which can be utilized for various elemental combinations. Characters like Barbara, Mona, Xingqiu, and Tartaglia are Hydro users. Barbara's elemental skill, "Let the Show Begin," creates a melody that heals nearby allies and activates "Shining Miracle," which deals Hydro damage. Her elemental burst, "With My Whole Heart," heals all party members and applies the Wet status to nearby enemies.
Cryo Characters:
Cryo characters wield ice-based abilities, dealing Cryo damage that is strong against enemies with the Electro element. They can apply the "Cryo" status, causing enemies to become frozen, reducing their movement speed. Characters such as Qiqi, Chongyun, Ganyu, and Kaeya are Cryo users. Ganyu's elemental skill, "Trail of the Qilin," shoots out an Ice Lotus that taunts enemies and deals Cryo damage. Her elemental burst, "Celestial Shower," rains down shards of ice that deal massive Cryo damage.
Electro Characters:
Electro characters harness the power of electricity, dealing Electro damage that is effective against enemies with the Cryo element. They can cause the "Electro-Charged" status, which deals continuous Electro damage to the affected enemy. Notable Electro characters include Keqing, Fischl, Lisa, and Razor. Fischl's elemental skill, "Nightrider," summons Oz, a raven companion that deals Electro damage. Her elemental burst, "Midnight Phantasmagoria," activates Oz's presence continuously, dealing Electro damage over time.
Anemo Characters:
Anemo characters control the wind element, dealing Anemo damage that is neutral but can cause various elemental reactions. They can apply the "Swirl" status, which spreads the effects of other elements. Characters like Venti, Sucrose, Jean, and Xiao are Anemo users. Venti's elemental skill, "Skyward Sonnet," sends forth a Wind's Grand Ode to pull and launch enemies airborne, dealing Anemo damage. His elemental burst, "Wind's Grand Ode," creates an upcurrent that lifts enemies and deals continuous Anemo damage.
Geo Characters:
Geo characters have power over the earth element, dealing Geo damage that is strong against enemies with the Geo element. They can generate shields and structures that provide defensive capabilities. Notable Geo characters include Ningguang, Noelle, Albedo, and Zhongli. Zhongli's elemental skill, "Dominus Lapidis," commands a stone stele to deal Geo damage and resonate with nearby Geo constructs. His elemental burst, "Planet Befall," summons a giant meteorite to deal massive Geo damage to enemies in the area.
In Genshin Impact, each character's elemental abilities offer unique combat strategies and playstyles. Understanding how to effectively use these elemental powers and combining them in elemental reactions is key to achieving success in battles and overcoming challenging enemies. Mastering the elemental abilities of different characters allows players to create powerful team compositions, unleashing devastating elemental combos to secure victory in the world of Teyvat.
