The Dendro Element's Biggest Mysteries Explained (Genshin Impact)

[@AP.DistribuZone]

Agreed that the "delay" of dendro added more hype and interest in 3.0 compared to new region only. If ever Fontaine -- more advanced, futurisitc style, introduce a new type of weapon or new gear (again to add something to look forward to apart from new region), then I would believe the aforementioned re dendro is true.

[@powguma]

Have you heard of the 'Fridge' comp? This utilizes Cryo not having any reaction with Dendro and being able to coexist with Dendro on enemies. Basically, you apply Cryo on Dendro as an extra layer so that Dendro can be used longer with Hydro. So yeah, Cryo may already be functioning as devs intended. Geo, on the other hand, has room to grow I think.

If burn's gauge wasn't nerfed it would've also allowed melts, it could've been such a clever way to give the elements synergy yet again. That said, it's still technically possible we might get Dendro chars that do slot well in some melt teams, I'd love to see that, since we're probably not getting a burning buff across the board.

Fridge is kinda... cope. Like it's not weak but is it better than conventional 2-cryo teams? Nope, at least at the moment.

[@Gnurklesquimp]

@@acerbus1146 It's probably the sorta thing where both bloom's dmg and freeze's utility would have to be designed around in either Abyss or a character's kit/weapon/artifact set. That's a lot to make up for though, maximizing cryo dps is kind of a no-brainer in freeze cause of how crazy Blizzard Strayer is, and cryo resonance makes it even better. Hell, even burning could still be incorporated into melt down the line, but I am still a little bit bummed these two aren't very competitive in general, I don't expect artifact sets that make them valuable outside of minor niches. If we get higher world levels, current Dendro is an option for puzzles while still having a functional freeze or melt team, but current open-world you can just not use your 4th character if they mess up reactions. + in open world I usually put Bennett into freeze setups just so I can infuse pyro into anemo when I see a cryo enemy anyway

[@michapiasta3072]

Also reason why agravvate is weaker than spread is the fact, that you can buff electro dmg in many ways, kazuha, vv shred (10%stronger than dendro shred) and many characters constelations. While dendro have only 30% shred now

[@khanhnnguyen4678]

Techinally aggravate only works for character has weak, some how dmg is buff based on EM, and fast atk speed.

[@KwissSummers]

I think the reason why dendro/cryo/anemo and geo don't have more reactions is because if you have access to all these different reactions at once, it becoming harder and harder to control what reaction you're trying to achieve.

[@froeloe]

this is already happening now if your team has dendro, hydro, electro and anemo. You could trigger: Electro-charge, bloom, hyperbloom, swirl electro or swirl hydro, quicken, aggravate or spread. they will all happen beyond your control more often than not. but it’s kinda unfair in my opinion that 3 elements don’t react with dendro and the other 3 can. using the reason “it’s gonna be more complicated if we add more reactions” is lazy design and poor planning. i look at adding reactions between dendro + cryo, geo or anemo as a means to have more team comp options. it’s gonna be complicated either way anyway. but amidst the complication, i’d rather have many options than less or nothing. having choices is always a good thing.

[@unknownbutawesome8759]

Geo is the only problem here for me, it's not bad that some elements have secondary means with dendro, i like it and to add more usless (burning and burgeon) reaction just for the sake of it it's not a good thing: It's better to have sub interactions that works (freeze and bloom, swirl to proc the dendro reactions) well that a complete new one that suck. Zhong is the only carry for the geo element (yun jin is also a super good unit) and the only reason we see sometimes a x2 geo comp is thank to him (the golden duo, him and Albedo or a hyperinvested mc) bc the golden duo gives so many buffs and damage, or a mono geo team bc this is how geo works at the moment, 1 broken flex unit (zhong, yun jin), 2 broken units (zhong and bedo/mc) to support 2 other or a mono geo team

My first comment: In your background footage, when playing cyno, you are supposed to hit E when the eye appears on screen. It deals more damage that way. It's honestly triggering that you miss every single eye. Second comment, what the additive reactions (aggravate and spread) favors is quantity of attack, not quality. Multiplicative reactions focuses on how much damage a single hit can do, while additive reactions focuses on how much damage you can do overtime.

[@tyshen0329]

to add to your second comment, multiple electro/dendro dps in the team can abuse the whole catalyze rxn together, while in the standard multiplicative rxn team, it's usually only one unit that gets to abuse it (with the exception being funerational team).

Now that Electro its in a good spot, they just need to adress two issues. First, the lack of Dendro units, which would be solved over time but we really need them if we want to keep making more teams based on the reactions. Second, the GEO problem of basically not working with everyone else. Seriously, cristalize its really not doing anything else when picking a shard besides getting better defense to X element. Only Yunjin is barely doing something with it and requires constelations to do so.

[@aayyyooooo]

I see that you do not have Jongli? His pillars resonance with other geo constructs is useful in creating bonus damage via crystallize, and his skill or passive provides shred. This is a large part of the reason he's considered one of the best geo units. My Albedo also does 11k crystallize dmg per dot, so having a decent damage/support who can create shields via crystallize is not useless. I do think geo is niche, and I'd like to see more from it, but I understand it's about shielding while providing damage, so I don't think it's a useless element. I think it's buff in like 1.4 did what we needed to make geo usable, essentially.

@@aayyyooooo I do have Zhongli and Albedo, as mather of fact my triple crowned Noele its my pride and joy, but you dont really use them at all for the Cristalize reaction. In fact, regardless if they do or do not make a reaction they will do their Geo damage. And here is the issue and what i mean, there is no interaction with the crystals besides the shields. C4 Yunjin DEF bonus by picking crystals its the only real interaction that exist and the artifact sets of shields barely count when there are better options of damage out there.Bbut outside of that there is no real reason to actively try to make a team centered around the reaction... well C6 Albedo also enter here but... lets be honest most people wont whale that hard for that.

@@aayyyooooo ​you are conflating character kits with the element itself (and the element’s reaction). geo characters are great because of their kit, not because of their element or reaction of their element. crystallize is a waste of a reaction and needs a major rework. what it offers is easily and readily invalidated by shielder characters. there are no team centered around crystallize because it is essentially useless and poorly designed. when you use zhongli in a team for example, you use him because of his shield and his shield’s shred, not because you want to procc crystallize. you use him for what his kit offers, not for what reaction geo can do.

[@Friki_gameplays]

The main reason for not having a Dendro Anemo or Cryo reaction may be balancing, considering how you would slot Anemo units in almost every team, not sure about Cryo, maybe because freeze is too strong, considering the fact of dificulty not being a big factor, it may be due to being overused rather than overpowered. I personally think that they should rework superconduct into something like quicken (keeping the phys res reduction so phys teams don't get affected). Unlike freeze-bloom or dendro swirl there isn't any interaction that gets messed up by changing a reaction (or lack thereof), since no one ever uses cryo+electro outside of physical dmg, resulting in superconduct not being present at all, not even as a byproduct of something else happening. This improved superconduct would scale with EM due to Cryo not having an EM playstyle, considering how melt is a multiplicative reaction, freeze (the reaction itself) not having dmg and reverse swirl not being a thing, meaning that all the dmg comes from talents and personal dmg. As for missing reactions, they could go the Nilou route and make it so reactions are different for a certain unit, like an overload units that suctions instead of blasting, or geo/dendro swirl, maybe a magma themed character, or a unit that weaponizes crystalize reactions, they could even make reverse swirl a thing if they make a unit that ads an Anemo aura to enemies.

This is a popular team mostly because of its simplicity, but a reason why it is strong is that it incorporates both amplifying and transformative reactions. Xiangling in this national variant triggers both vaporise and overload (commonly termed "overvape"). Assuming good investment, you can expect 30-40k pyronado vapes and around 10k overloads. This means that overload contributes to 25-33% of Xiangling's damage, which when taken into account across the rotation is a significant amount of damage, and can compete with the boost that VV provides.

I think one of the most important aspect of reaction that you kind of touched is order of element application Amplifying reactions suffered the most from this with the horror stories of Xingqui Vaporizing instead of Hutao Transformative reactions also suffered since the wrong order of application on an Electro-Charged means that all the EM on a character just wouldn't matter Swirl could get around this by not having an elemental Aura so it's impossible to trigger a Swirl on anyone but the Anemo character who has the EM Catalyze and Bloom are also like this allowing characters to really take advantage of their EM Spread can only be triggered by the Dendro character, Burgeon can only be triggered by the Pyro character and Hyperbloom and Aggravate can only be triggered by the Electro character

[@cimex7492]

I think Geo should have a reaction with Dendro that leads to more interactions with other elements, like Bloom. Plant roots break down earth, so a new soil-esque state should have interactions with other elements. Fire smelts sand into glass, so the Smelt reaction should provide utility, like reducing enemy RES as glass is fragile. That's one example.

miHoYo temporarily does not release Dendro in order to keep hole cards in their hands, which gives them a good chance to rebalance the game. That's why they choose to release Dendro halfway through the player's journey. I'm still a little disappointed though, as it doesn't provide any crowd control (e.g. growing vines to affect enemy movement) I say this because the current crowd control (freeze, petrification) will completely incapacitate the enemy and is OP, which causes miHoYo to make some larger elite enemies completely immune to it, as long as this enemy is often greatly displaced will put the player in a passive position

im pretty they’re kinda basing their reactions on real life tho? Electro + Dendro makes sense because irl electric does help with plant growth.

Meanwhile, ice/cold temperatures only kills plants (which is why leafy vegetables goes bad when inside a fridge) so there’s not really room to make reactions based on that. Also the reason why geo has the worst reaction, because rocks in nature doesn’t really react with anything in general.

While this makes it the weakest element it also has the advantage to never be bad except Geo immune enemies and shield checks. That's it. So that's the role in the game. And this is good. This makes Geo very unique though also very isolate. And i think this is good balancing. Every game has strong and weak types/characters etc. But while Geo is weak it isn't unusable.

As much as i love dendro my go to abyss run, still consist on my Kamisato duo freeze team, Eula/Raiden duo comp 😂 who knows maybe Nahida might make me clear the abyss with a dendro centric team

[@dt3688]

It feels like it’s been a year since you last uploaded. What’s with the hold up?

[@werh227]

It's sad that Geo is the only element without any damage with its reaction...

[@manoharalisa5829]

But it become magic shield.. so that is the reaction.

Getting over the barrier

[@azzip5863]

about the 10y roadmap, iirc they reduced it for 5 years (from now on)

[@yuvx8516]

I know you rarely talk on the meta side, but i think catalyze really did a good job at setting up the power floor while not making the power ceiling not too high unlike multiplicative reaction which creates rich get richer situation. Meanwhile there's fischl which is already good become fucking busted. I love how 1.0 characters always been a mistake in game balancing terms one way or another.

[@JMike-bq6rl]

I wish the Elemental system was like: Fire>Ice>Electro>Water>Fire With same 2x/1.5x dmg as Vaporize and Melt reactions. So Dendro could take Electro's place in the middle....as the Buffer element.

[@yuvx8516]

Rock paper scissors system are boring man. This design choices heavily encourages you doing mono element team instead of the more fun team building we currently have. Just look at Hi3 which your team building boils down to basically just checking what type the enemies are weak to and changing your main dps accordingly.

[@yoihenbaakoijam6974]

Dendro is literally the best support.

The Spiral Abyss is one of the most effective ways [for] players [to] test out their party composition and combat strength. If we design another type of permanent endgame that is similar to the Spiral Abyss, it might end up creating excessive anxiety for our players--not everyone is interested in Musk Reef.

[@caparashon]

There's one thing I don't have clear from catalyze reactions. I see there's a level multiplier in the formula so it obviously increases it, but is it worth it to take aggravate DPS characters (Cyno, Keqing...) all the way to level 90 like with other EM-liking characters? Or is it still like with atk scaling characters where the improvement isn't enough to justify spending that much mora and books from lv 80 to 90?

[@d3m3nt3d_t3acup_]

Cyno and Keqing both trigger aggravate frequently, and levelling to 90 represents a significant amount of increase to the aggravate base damage, so I think they are worth bringing up to 90, at least after everything else (weapon, artifacts, talents) is sorted out

[@hulahupjingga]

I feel *_excessive anxiety_* knowing these

[@elknolasshrineofraja3966]

[@remirousselet6867]

Rather than a 8th element, I wonder if we could have either a bi-element character or one that is adaptive? I could see some characters have a skill with one element, and their burst use a different one. Or we could have a mechanic where a skill/burst deals damage in the same element as character's infusion. So Bennet C6/Candace/Chongyun could change the element of a skill/burst. These wouldn't introduce new reaction, yet be a new unique elemental mechanic

[@mike_purple]

Welp, the video was good and stuff, but i still dont understand which reactions benefit from crit and which dont. Can you eli5 in a manner "reaction - benefits"

[@CubeCityBoy]

Quite interesting, tnx

[@eertikrux666]

I’d like to think that they left out cryo because it’s already too op. It can freeze enemies which is a kind of crowd control; it can deal big pp dmg with melt; superconduct is the only reaction that benefits phys dmg; and not to mention cryo resonace increases crit rate

[@ianesgrecia8568]

This is going to fail so hard if they actually implement more dendro reactions on the future and just didn't because didn't want to overwhelm the players. Just like that other fatui video lady that swore Captain was number 2 and 100% the geo yaksha without any actual bases. That was fun

[@pinacolada8040]

god it hurted to watch you play cyno

[@lordtartarsauceb8348]

I liked the idea of dendro. However all the multilayer reactions are too much of a pain in the ass to be fun. Well it may be more accurate to say the damage we get out of multilayer reactions isnt worth the complexity.

[@Redbeardblondie]

I had to stop looking at the video and just listen, watching Cyno being misused just hurt my soul… Do you not realize you should use his Skill when the eye pops up? It makes the Skill deal way more damage AND extends the Burst’s active time significantly!

[@LizardKingRequiem]

I will forever stand by the thought that these reactions make little sense, seriously theres no logic or reasoning for why dendro reacts with electro and not cryo or geo. Its PLANTS!!!! PLANTS GROW IN SOIIIILLLL!!! Im getting an aneurysm thinking about it

[@rxvld]

oot but oh my god the cyno gameplay playing in the background keeps distracting me because you NEVER hit the skill on time 😭

[@UNCOMFYPILLOW]

I’m not an expert ... But watching and analyzing the video from beginning to end, I can not say anything because as I said at the beginning, I'm not an expert

[@martinelelele]

11:52 0.25 speed look at raiden lmao

[@charginggemo8340]

Please, for the love of everything holy, hit cyno's skill when the eye is on your screen during the burst. I beg of you

[@arocomisgamusclademork1603]

Take A note, where's Sacrificial polearm type?

[@KrisPBacon69]

There will be none because of lore reasons, there's a video about this

[@gil1934]

I miss you

[@UDX6T]

Dendro should have had reactions with geo. Huge missed opportunity.
