Questions tagged with "elemental gauge theory"

The elemental gauge theory in Genshin Impact is a fundamental concept that governs how elemental reactions work. Understanding this theory is crucial for maximizing damage output and controlling the battlefield effectively. The elemental gauge theory revolves around the idea that each elemental application has a specific "gauge" or strength, which determines how long the element lingers on a target and how much of it is consumed during reactions. Elements like Pyro, Hydro, Electro, and Cryo inte...

To trigger Vaporize consistently in Genshin Impact, you need to understand the mechanics of elemental reactions, particularly how Hydro and Pyro interact. Vaporize is an amplifying reaction that occurs when Hydro meets Pyro or vice versa. The reaction multiplies the damage of the triggering attack, making it one of the most powerful reactions in the game. There are two types of Vaporize: Hydro-triggered Vaporize (Hydro applied first, then Pyro) and Pyro-triggered Vaporize (Pyro applied first, th...

Using Cryo and Pyro together in Genshin Impact is one of the most effective ways to deal massive damage due to the Melt reaction. Melt is an elemental reaction that occurs when Pyro interacts with Cryo or vice versa. When Pyro triggers Melt on a Cryo-affected enemy, the damage is multiplied by 2x. When Cryo triggers Melt on a Pyro-affected enemy, the damage is multiplied by 1.5x. This makes Melt one of the most powerful reactions in the game, especially for characters with high damage multiplier...
