When Dendro (the element of nature) meets Cryo (the element of ice), a special reaction called Frozen happens. This reaction isn’t just pretty to look at; it has a big impact on enemy defenses!
Imagine you’re facing a tough enemy. They’re strong, they’re moving around, and they’re making it hard for you to land your attacks. You use a Cryo attack, like a freezing blast, and the enemy gets covered in ice. Now, they’re slowed down and have a harder time dodging your attacks. But it gets even better!
If you follow up that Cryo attack with a Dendro attack, like a vine lash or a blooming flower, the enemy gets Frozen! They’re completely encased in ice, unable to move or attack. This is where the real benefit for you comes in.
Here’s how Frozen affects enemy defenses:
- Massive Defense Reduction: While Frozen, enemies have their defense significantly lowered. This means your attacks will hit harder and do more damage. Think of it like a weakened enemy, easier to take down!
- Increased Vulnerability: Frozen enemies are super vulnerable to attacks. They can’t dodge or shield themselves, so every attack you land will hit directly.
- Opportunity for Shatter: A strong enough attack, especially one that uses Cryo or Geo elements, can Shatter the enemy, breaking them free of the Frozen state. This explosion deals more damage to the enemy, making it an excellent way to quickly finish them off!
But wait, there’s more!
The Frozen reaction can also be used strategically in a few other ways:
- Crowd Control: You can freeze multiple enemies at once, keeping them grouped together and making them easier to attack.
- Setting up Reactions: Frozen enemies can be a great setup for other elemental reactions. For example, you can follow up a Frozen state with an Electro attack to trigger Superconduct, which further lowers the enemy’s defense.
So, using Cryo and Dendro together to create the Frozen reaction is a powerful tool in any combat situation. It’s a great way to weaken enemies, control the battlefield, and deal significant damage.
