Genshin Impact will require you to know about the characters’ seven elements during combat, which can create powerful combos when combined. Here’s everything you need to know about Genshin Impact Elemental reactions.

Genshin Impact features almost 71 playable characters, and each masters a specific Element. This means that when building the team that will follow you on your adventures through Teyvat, you’ll need to keep in mind which one they master so you can get the most from their attacks combined.

Creating an Elemental reaction in Genshin Impact version 4.1 is not hard, but you’ll need to know how to combine them. Here’s everything you need to know about Elemental Reactions in Genshin Impact.

What is an Elemental reaction in Genshin Impact?

In Genshin Impact, an Elemental reaction is the result of an Element applied to an enemy that’s already affected by a different Element. These combinations are essential when trying to win Genshin Impact’s hardest battles since they enhance the damage dealt to base attacks.

When choosing characters for your team, you should keep in mind that every Genshin Impact character masters one of the seven elements: Anemo, Geo, Hydro, Cryo, Pyro, Electro, and Dendro. This way you can deal powerful combos using Elemental Reactions.

Each Genshin Impact character master one of the seven elements.

Keep in mind that environmental factors can also apply effects to targets, which you can use to create Elemental reactions.
