Elemental Reactions — Which One Deserves Your Team?

A visual guide to every reaction: what it does and when to build a party around it.

There are only two kinds of reaction, and knowing the difference saves you a lot of mistakes.

1) Amplifying — multiplies your number by 1.5x or 2x

  • Vaporize: Pyro + Hydro — the strongest and most popular
  • Melt: Pyro + Cryo — higher burst, harder to keep up

These multiply a single hit, so they suit big-hit units like هو تاو.

2) Transformative — damage independent of your ATK

  • Hyperbloom: Hydro + Dendro + Electro — homing damage scaling off EM
  • Aggravate: Dendro + Electro — flat bonus added to every Electro hit
  • Swirl: Anemo spreads the element onto every enemy
  • Crystallize: Geo turns every reaction into a shield

Transformative reactions ignore your ATK — they scale on Elemental Mastery and level. That is why كوكي شينوبو on pure EM deals huge damage without any 5-star weapon.

Control before damage

Freeze — the enemy simply does not move

Freeze (Cryo + Hydro) is not damage, but it is the strongest control in the game: a frozen enemy is a harmless enemy.

Careful: adding Pyro to a freeze team breaks the freeze. Pick one identity and commit — the Fusion Lab warns you about this automatically.
