The Geo Traveler’s Elemental Skill, "Conduction", is a really interesting ability that can interact with Cryo shields in some pretty unique ways. Let’s break down how this works:
Understanding Conduction
The Geo Traveler’s Elemental Skill, "Conduction", is like a little rock shield that you can create around yourself. This shield has two main parts:
-
The Shield Itself: It protects you from attacks, just like any other shield in the game.
-
The Geo Energy: The shield also has a special property where it absorbs nearby elemental energy. This is where the Cryo shield interaction gets interesting.
How it Works with Cryo Shields
When the Geo Traveler’s shield comes into contact with a Cryo shield, it starts to absorb that Cryo energy. Here’s what happens:
-
Cryo Absorption: The shield will absorb the Cryo energy from the shield in front of it, essentially "eating" the Cryo shield.
-
Energy Burst: Once the shield absorbs enough Cryo energy, it will release a burst of Geo energy, dealing Geo damage to enemies nearby. This burst is pretty powerful and can be a good way to break through Cryo shields and damage enemies.
What to Keep in Mind
-
Timing is Key: The amount of time it takes for the Geo Traveler’s shield to absorb enough Cryo energy to release the burst varies depending on the strength of the Cryo shield. A stronger Cryo shield will take longer to absorb.
-
Strategic Use: You can use the Geo Traveler’s shield to your advantage in several ways. You can:
- Break through enemy shields with the burst.
- Combine it with other Geo characters to create an even stronger burst of Geo energy.
- Use it to interrupt Cryo attacks from enemies.
-
Limited Usage: The Geo Traveler’s shield can only absorb one type of elemental energy at a time. This means that if there are multiple Cryo shields or a Cryo shield and another type of elemental shield nearby, the shield will only absorb one of them.
Example
Let’s say you’re fighting a Cryo Hilichurl that has a strong Cryo shield. You cast the Geo Traveler’s Elemental Skill and position it near the Hilichurl’s shield. As the shield absorbs the Cryo energy, the Hilichurl will become vulnerable to Geo damage. You can then use the Geo Traveler’s Burst or another Geo character’s abilities to take advantage of this vulnerability and defeat the enemy.
Overall, the Geo Traveler’s Elemental Skill offers a unique way to deal with Cryo shields in Genshin Impact. By strategically utilizing its ability to absorb Cryo energy, you can break through enemy defenses and inflict substantial damage.
