Building a team for the new Dendro domain involves understanding the power of elemental reactions and how they can be maximized to overcome the challenges presented. Here’s a breakdown of the key elements to consider:
Understanding Elemental Reactions
Elemental reactions are the core of combat in Genshin Impact. When two elements collide, they create a new effect that can either boost your damage output or control the battlefield. The Dendro element introduces new reactions like:
- Burning: Dendro + Pyro: Deals AoE Pyro damage.
- Bloom: Dendro + Hydro: Creates a seed that explodes on contact, dealing AoE Dendro damage.
- Hyperbloom: Dendro + Electro + Hydro: Creates a seed that explodes on contact, dealing AoE Dendro damage with a chance to apply Electro.
- Quicken: Dendro + Electro: Increases attack speed and grants Aggravate and Spread.
- Aggravate: Electro + Dendro (with Quicken): Deals Electro damage to enemies.
- Spread: Dendro + Electro (with Quicken): Deals Dendro damage to enemies.
Team Building Strategies
1. The Burning Team:
- Dendro: The Traveler (Dendro), Collei, Nahida
- Pyro: Xiangling, Bennett, Diluc
This team utilizes Burning to melt the enemies quickly. Xiangling’s Guoba, Bennett’s healing and attack buff, and Diluc’s strong Pyro attacks make this team a powerhouse.
2. The Bloom Team:
- Dendro: The Traveler (Dendro), Collei, Nahida
- Hydro: Yelan, Xingqiu, Barbara
This team leverages the potent AoE damage of Bloom. Yelan’s burst and Xingqiu’s swords provide continuous Hydro application, while Barbara’s healing keeps the team safe.
3. The Hyperbloom Team:
- Dendro: The Traveler (Dendro), Collei, Nahida
- Hydro: Yelan, Xingqiu, Barbara
- Electro: Fischl, Raiden Shogun
This team capitalizes on the combination of Hyperbloom and Quicken. Fischl’s Oz or Raiden Shogun’s burst provide a consistent Electro source, while the Hydro units trigger Hyperbloom.
4. The Quicken and Aggravate/Spread Team:
- Dendro: The Traveler (Dendro), Collei, Nahida
- Electro: Fischl, Raiden Shogun, Keqing
This team focuses on maximizing the Aggravate and Spread reactions. Fischl’s Oz, Raiden Shogun’s burst, or Keqing’s attacks provide constant Electro application, while the Dendro characters trigger Quicken, leading to rapid damage.
Key Tips:
- Choose your team based on the domain’s enemies: Some enemies are weak to specific elements, so tailor your team accordingly.
- Utilize elemental resonance: Some characters offer bonuses when two or more characters of the same element are in the team.
- Experiment with different team compositions: Don’t be afraid to try out different characters and strategies to discover what works best for you.
- Focus on energy recharge: Ensure your characters have enough energy to consistently use their elemental bursts, especially for reactions like Hyperbloom and Quicken.
Remember, the best team composition is the one that fits your playstyle and allows you to maximize your damage and control the battlefield.
