All Elemental combos in Genshin Impact

The depth of the combat system in Genshin Impact lies in the elemental system and elemental combos. Enemies will be weak or strong against certain elements, and you can combine different elemental effects in combos to create powerful results.

All the elements have slightly unusual names, but they line up with the well worn elements used in almost all games. You can find a full list of the elements in Genshin Impact below.

• Anemo – Wind
• Geo – Earth
• Electro – Lightning
• Dendro – Nature
• Hydro – Water
• Pyro – Fire
• Cryo – Ice

Elemental Effects

Elements will potentially cause status effects on enemies that are suceptible to them. Ice enemies will not be affected by Cryo, fire enemies will not be affected by Pyro, and so on.

Cryo	Reduces movement speed
Electro	Targets in water will become Electro-charged
Geo	Reduces enemy elemental damage, and can cause them to drop energy shield orbs you can pick up for protection
Hydro	Cause the target to become Wet. Doesn’t cause additional damage, but primes enemies for combos
Pryo	Cuases a damage over time effect
