Building a team around the new Dendro characters is all about maximizing those awesome Elemental Reactions! Let’s break it down:
The Basics: What makes Dendro special?
Dendro, the element of nature, brings a bunch of new reactions to the table:
- Bloom: When Dendro reacts with Hydro, you get a "Bloom" effect that creates a seed that explodes after a short time. This explosion can trigger other reactions like Vaporize or Freeze, or even do direct damage!
- Hyperbloom: Combine Dendro, Hydro, and Electro to create a "Hyperbloom" effect. This creates a bigger, more powerful explosion with high Electro damage!
- Burning: Dendro plus Pyro creates "Burning", which deals Pyro damage over time.
- Aggravate: Dendro plus Electro creates "Aggravate," which boosts Electro damage.
- Quicken: Another Electro and Dendro combo, "Quicken," speeds up character attacks and increases their Electro damage.
Building Your Dream Team:
- The Dendro Core: Start with your favorite new Dendro character! They’ll be your foundation for the team.
- Hydro Partner: You’ll need Hydro to trigger Bloom and Hyperbloom. Characters like Yelan, Kokomi, or Barbara are great options.
- Electro Support: Electro is key for Hyperbloom and Aggravate. Think about characters like Fischl, Raiden Shogun, or Yae Miko.
- The Wildcard: The last slot is flexible! You can add more support, a healer, or even a strong DPS character.
Team Examples:
Here are a couple of team ideas to get you started:
- Bloom Bomb Squad:
- Dendro: Nahida (she’s amazing with Dendro reactions!)
- Hydro: Yelan (her damage bonus helps the Bloom explosions hit harder)
- Electro: Fischl (her Oz provides consistent Electro damage for Hyperbloom)
- Support: Bennett (his healing and attack buff are perfect for a team focused on reactions)
- Aggravate and Hyperbloom:
- Dendro: Collei (she can trigger a lot of Dendro reactions)
- Hydro: Barbara (her healing keeps you alive while you set up reactions)
- Electro: Raiden Shogun (her ultimate buffs Electro damage for both Quicken and Hyperbloom)
- DPS: Kazuha (his swirling ability pulls enemies together and spreads the Dendro element for better reactions)
Tips for Success:
- Character Synergy: Choose characters whose skills and talents complement each other.
- Element Application: Make sure you’re applying Dendro, Hydro, and Electro frequently for maximum reactions!
- Artifact Sets: Equip your characters with artifact sets that boost the relevant stats for your chosen team composition (like Dendro damage bonus, Hydro damage bonus, or Electro damage bonus).
- Weapons: Choose weapons that enhance the strengths of your characters and their elemental abilities.
Remember, building the best team is a journey, not a destination! Experiment, have fun, and see what works best for you. And hey, you might even discover some cool new strategies along the way!
