Triggering reactions in Genshin Impact can be one of the most important parts of your strategy. Of course, this means you need a good rotation complete with a way to keep elements actively applied to the enemies you’re fighting. Dendro is the last element that was released and has only been around since 3.0, with Collei, Tighnari, and the Dendro Traveler being the first three characters to use the element in the game. Dendro is a powerful element and is generally fun to play with. Below we go over the best characters for off-field Dendro application.

Dendro Reactions¶

Reactions occur when an enemy is afflicted with an element that the attacking character reacts to. For example, hitting an opponent with Hydro and then Cryo will cause them to become frozen in place. Dendro has six reactions for you to contend with.

Dendro goes a bit deeper, by having its reactions have reactions. This gives you a wide range of new strategies to choose from.
