Building a Dendro team in Genshin Impact is all about harnessing the power of elemental reactions. It’s not just about hitting hard, but about triggering the right reactions to amplify your damage and control the battlefield. Here’s a breakdown of how to get the best elemental reactions for your Dendro crew:
The Core Reactions: Burning and Bloom
- Burning: This reaction happens when Dendro meets Pyro. It’s a simple reaction that deals AoE Pyro damage, good for quickly dealing with enemies.
- Bloom: This is where things get exciting! Dendro meets Hydro and creates a Dendro core. These cores explode after a short time, dealing AoE Dendro damage and applying Dendro to enemies. They’re great for sustained damage and applying Dendro to trigger more reactions.
The Power of Catalysts: Hyperbloom and Aggravate
- Hyperbloom: Bloom cores combined with Electro create a powerful AoE reaction. It deals Electro damage and applies Electro to enemies. This is a great option for dealing high damage and crowd control.
- Aggravate: This is the reaction that elevates your Dendro character’s damage. Dendro and Electro together cause a small explosion that deals Electro damage and applies Electro to enemies. Focus on building your Electro character’s Electro damage to maximize this reaction.
Creating a Team Strategy
Here’s how to build your Dendro team around these reactions:
- Start with Dendro: Choose your main Dendro character. Popular choices include Nahida, Collei, and Tighnari.
- Pick Your Reactions: Decide on the elemental reactions you want to focus on. Hyperbloom is generally considered stronger than Burning, and Aggravate is excellent for damage.
- Choose Supporting Characters:
- For Hyperbloom: Select Electro characters like Raiden Shogun, Yae Miko, or Fischl.
- For Aggravate: Electro characters like Keqing, Razor, or Kuki Shinobu work well.
- For Bloom and Burning: Consider Hydro characters like Yelan, Kokomi, or Xingqiu.
- Build Your Characters: Focus on building your characters to support your chosen reactions. If you’re going for Hyperbloom, prioritize Electro damage on your Electro characters. For Aggravate, prioritize Electro damage on both your Dendro and Electro characters.
- Maximize Dendro Application: Choose Dendro characters that can apply Dendro quickly and efficiently.
Example Team Compositions:
- Hyperbloom: Nahida (Dendro), Raiden Shogun (Electro), Xingqiu (Hydro), Yae Miko (Electro)
- Aggravate: Tighnari (Dendro), Keqing (Electro), Fischl (Electro), Yelan (Hydro)
- Bloom & Burning: Collei (Dendro), Yelan (Hydro), Xiangling (Pyro), Bennett (Pyro)
Remember: Experiment with different characters and builds to find what works best for you. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution for every Dendro team. Don’t be afraid to get creative and explore different combinations! Enjoy the power of Dendro!
