How does the new Dendro reaction with Electro work in Genshin Impact?

The new Dendro reaction with Electro, called Aggravate, is a thrilling addition to Genshin Impact’s combat system. It’s a powerful reaction that can unleash a burst of damage, especially if you’re playing with characters that specialize in either Dendro or Electro.

Imagine it like this: Dendro is like a little spark, and Electro is like a lightning bolt. When they meet, they create a big, flashy explosion of energy! This is basically what happens in Aggravate.

Here’s how it works in a nutshell:

1. Apply Dendro: You need to apply Dendro to an enemy first. This can be done with a Dendro character’s attacks, skills, or bursts.
2. Apply Electro: Next, apply Electro to the same enemy using an Electro character’s attacks, skills, or bursts.
3. Boom! Aggravate triggers, dealing Electro damage to the enemy. The amount of damage depends on several factors, including:
   • Character level: The higher the level of your Electro character, the more damage the reaction will deal.
   • Elemental Mastery: This stat is a key factor in increasing the power of all Elemental Reactions. The higher your character’s Elemental Mastery, the stronger the Aggravate reaction.
   • Dendro/Electro Damage Bonuses: If your Electro character has high Electro Damage Bonus or your Dendro character has high Dendro Damage Bonus, this will further enhance the reaction’s damage output.

But wait, there’s more! Aggravate is actually a two-part reaction. After the initial burst of Electro damage, the enemy will also receive a "Quicken" effect. This effect isn’t immediately obvious, but it’s super important. Here’s the deal:

• Quicken: The Quicken effect makes the enemy more vulnerable to the next Electro or Dendro attack. This means if you follow up Aggravate with another Electro attack, it’ll deal even more damage!

So, what makes Aggravate so special?

• High Damage Potential: Aggravate is a powerful reaction that can deal significant damage, especially if you build your team around it.
• Fast-Paced Combat: It encourages a quick and dynamic playstyle, as you’ll want to keep applying Electro and Dendro to maximize its effects.
• Versatile Team Compositions: You can build teams with various combinations of Dendro and Electro characters, giving you plenty of flexibility in your party setup.

Who are some good characters for Aggravate?

There are quite a few, but here are a couple of popular picks:

• Electro:
  • Raiden Shogun: Her burst is a massive Electro powerhouse and pairs perfectly with Aggravate.
  • Fischl: Her Electro attacks are easy to apply and her Oz pet keeps enemies constantly under the effect of Electro.
  • Kazuha: He can apply Electro with his burst and use his swirling abilities to spread the effect to multiple enemies.
• Dendro:
  • Nahida: Her elemental skill and burst apply Dendro to a wide area, setting up the perfect scenario for Aggravate.
  • Tighnari: His charged attacks deal powerful Dendro damage, making him a great option for triggering Aggravate.

Remember: Aggravate is just one of the new Dendro reactions. There are other powerful reactions like Burning (Dendro and Pyro) and Hyperbloom (Dendro and Hydro). Experiment with different team compositions and reactions to find what works best for you and your playstyle!
