Considered the “Nature” element, it seems to be analogous to something like Poison from other games. Dendroĭendro is the seventh element in Genshin Impact and the one currently unavailable to any of the playable characters. Geo is Genshin Impact’s Earth element, represented by the Archon Rex Lapis and the one worshipped by the people of Liyue, the second nation players encounter after Monstadt as part of Act I: Farewell, Archaic Lord. Hydro is tied into the God of Justice and is worshipped by the nation of Fontaine, a yet unreleased area of Teyvay that we will see in Act II: Omnipresence over Mortals. Hydro, rather unsurprisingly, is the name for the Water Element in Genshin Impact and afflicts targets with the “Wet” condition - setting them up for a subsequent combo. Monstadt is Teyvat’s City of Wind and the first one players encounter in Genshin Impact.

Anemo Skills can be used in combination with other elements to “widen” the effect field, among other things. AnemoĪnemo is the elemental stand-in for Wind, the central element in the game, and the one used by the main character.

Cryo and its Archon, the Tsaritsa, are celebrated by the people of Snezhnaya and is currently planned to be the final area of exploration in Act VI: Everwinter ElectroĪs the name suggests, Electro is a Lightning/Electricity based element that spreads through bodies of water, inflicting the Electro-Charged Elemental combo on anything in the water (and thus already tagged with the Wet status). The Ice element, Cryo, leaves the target with a minor movement speed debuff and can be used to freeze water, creating planes of ice that can be used to access remote sections of the map. The people of Natlan hold Pyro and its Archon, Murata, as their central deity. This includes shields and other wooden elements on enemies. Many objects in the world like wooden destructibles and bramble bushes can be burned away using Pyro skills. The Fire element, Pryo inflicts a small DoT effect in line with any typical burning effect from another game. There are seven elements currently active in Genshin Impact, with six of those elements usable by players and a seventh deployable only by mobs as it stands now.
