Using Xingqiu and Yelan's Elemental Burst allows Hu Tao to consistently trigger Vaporize reactions.

Party Building Tips & Tricks

Start by Choosing the Main DPS

Role	・Main source of damage for the team.
Features	・Damage is mostly from Normal or Charged attacks.

When building a team, it is best to always start with the Main DPS and build around them. As the Main DPS they will be dealing the most damage and be out on the field for longer.

The Main DPS should specialize in combat, preferably one that can deal high amounts of damage with even just their Normal or Charged attacks.

Pick Sub-DPS with Elemental Reaction

Role	・Secondary source of damage. ・Sets up Elemental Reactions for the Main DPS.
Features	・Reliant on Skills or Bursts for damage. ・Effects of Skills or Bursts stay on the field even after switching.

Once the Main DPS has been selected, it's time to choose one or two Sub-DPS for your team. The role of the Sub-DPS is to set up Elemental Reactions for the Main DPS, they are also the secondary source of damage while the Main DPS is inactive.

It is recommended that Sub-DPS Elemental Skills and Bursts stay on the field even after getting switched out, so that the Main DPS can keep setting up Elemental Reactions.

Choose a Character that can cause an Elemental Reaction with Main DPS

Best way to choose a Sub-DPS is by checking what reactions you can get with the element of the Main DPS.

List of Elemental Reactions

Choose Your Support Character

Role	・Increases survivability of the team with heals and shields. ・Increases overall damage by providing buffs and debuffs.
Features	・Can provide shields and healing with Skills or Bursts. ・Can boost damage of Main DPS. ・Can lower enemies defense or resistance.

Complete your team by filling in the empty slots with a Support character. They will be in charge of keeping your team alive and providing additional buffs or debuffs to make the job of the Main DPS easier.

Activate Elemental Resonance

Elemental Resonance grants additional buffs based on the number of party members of a particular element.

These buffs can help push a party's damage and synergy potentials to even greater heights and should also be considered when selecting the last characters for a party.
