Earth artery anomalies Genshin Impact

Inside the Twisted Abyss, as well as in the deep realms, monsters or objects can have an aura that harms the character in a certain area.

• The effect can be momentarily dispelled, causing the character to react with an elemental reaction. For example, abilities such as Let the show begin♪ Barbara and Gu Hua: Veil of Rain Xingqiu.
• The aura will only hang on the character controlled by the player.

• The maximum number of elemental resonances in a squad is 2.
• In co-op mode, if part of the group is inside the dungeon, the resonance will only be determined by the characters that are in the dungeon, and only the characters in it will benefit from the bonuses.
• Trial characters available during legend quests are not suitable for resonance.

Interesting Facts

• Spring fairy in the book The heart of the spring. Volume II tells tales of a distant dimension Hydro, which means the possible existence of its own dimension for each element.
• Before the release of the region SumeruThe with which the element is associated Dendro, there was not a single character who would have this element.
• The only element that has triple reactions is Dendro (Flowering, Catalysis, Aggravation and Growth)
