Genshin Impact: Elements System - Advanced Introduction

Translate
Welcome to Genshin Impact Introduction to the Elements System! You may already learned about some basic facts about the Elements from this post. In this post, we are going to talk about more advanced stuff --- Elemental Reactions.
Different combinations of each element will trigger different elemental reactions.
[b][u]Amplifying Reactions

First of all, amplifying reactions do not cause damage. But when an amplifying reaction triggered by attacks (Vaporize, Melting), it increases the damage by a certain percentage.
◦ Vaporize: after reaction, it dispels both of the Cryo or Pyro element. 
Hydro => Pyro, 2.0x damage 
Pyro => Hydro, 1.5x damage
◦ Melting: after reaction, it dispels both of the Cryo or Pyro element.
Pyro => Cyro, 2.0x damage
Cyro => Pyro, 1.5x damage

Dramatic Reactions
◦ Overloaded: When Pyro being affected by Electro, an Overloaded effect will occur. It causes a huge explosion, with AOE Pyro damage.
◦ Superconduct: When Cryo being affected by Electro, a Superconduct effect will occur. It causes AOE Cryo damage and reduces the opponent’s defense (-30%), which lasts for 8 seconds. The damage and explosive range are smaller than Overloaded.
◦ Swirl: When Anemo element being affected by Pyro/Electro/Hydro/Cyro, it will lead to Swirl, spreading the damage caused by a certain element.
◦ Electro-Charged: When Hydro being affected by Electro, it will cause the Electro-Charged effect, with continuous Electro elemental damage. The Electro element can also electrify the water surface, causing elemental damage to all creatures within range. The Hydro element attached to the target disappears after the charged reaction occurs, and the number of charged discharges is positively correlated to the number of moist units around the target. If the Electro element is first attached and then attacked by the Hydro element, both elements are attached.
The damage of from the above reactions  increases only based on the character's level, independent of the character's attack power, elemental damage additions, critical attack rate, and critical damage. On top of that, there will be a change in the final damage due to the corresponding damage resistances of different monsters.
For example, if any level 40 Pyro character (with 0 Elemental Mastery) triggers the Overloaded Reaction, if the monster's Pyro Elemental Resistance is 0, the damage dealt will be 324; if the monster gains an additional 10% Pyro elemental resistance, the damage dealt will be 324 * 0.9 = 291.6, rounded up to 292 points. The same applies to damage resistance, but it has nothing to do with the monster's defense or level.
Other Elemental Reactions
◦ Burning: When Dendro being affected by Pyro, it will lead to Burning, which will continue cause Pyro demage. Burning won’t stop until the Dendro dies out.
◦ Frozen: Frozen occurs when Cryo meets Hydro, which makes the opponent unable to move.  But its defense and elemental resistance remain the same.
◦ Crystallization: When the Geo comes into contact with the Hydro/Pyro/Electro/Cyro, a Crystallization reaction will occur. This reaction produces wafers of the corresponding element, which can provide characters with various elemental shields. It effectively reduces the damage taken in combat. Shields take damage for the character, but if they take too much damage, the shields will also fail, but a character with higher defense will take less damage and can absorb more attacks from enemy units. Crystallization reactions are also affected by the order in which the elements are attached, e.g. units whose own element is attached to the Geo element will not crystallize when attacked by Hydro/Pyro/Electro/Cyro.
◦ Shattered: When the Frozen target is under fierce attack, the Frozen effect will disappear. Instead, it will lead to physical damage to the target that scales with the target’s level.
