Elemental Burst

Elemental Burst skills need Energy to be used. Energy is gathered by attacking and gathering Elemental Particles from either defeated enemies, or after using Elemental Skills in order to fill the gauge.

Having high Energy Recharge on your character helps charge up your Elemental Bursts much faster. There are also weapons and Talents that also help you generate more Elemental Particles, so use them to your advantage!

Check the Character's Energy Cost

Genshin - Elemental Burst Energy Cost
Each character has an Energy Cost listed on the skill attributes of their talents. The energy cost can range from 40, 60, 80 to 90 depending on the character! The higher the energy cost, the harder it is to bring their Elemental Burst back up.

Elemental Bursts have a Skill Cooldown

Elemental Burst Cooldown

After use, there is a skill cooldown that triggers before the Elemental Burst can be used again.

While the Cooldown cannot be removed, even if you switch characters, there are ways to lower the Cooldown of a character's Elemental Burst, such as having two or more Anemo Characters in your party and activating Anemo Resonance.

Check the Character's Talent CD

I love your website!

"Elemental Mastery is a unique stat in Genshin Impact that increases the damage dealt by Elemental Bursts and Elemental Skills." while this can be true, this is still so misleading. Not all bursts and skills' damage can be enhanced by EM. I hope no one reads guides related to Genshin theorycrafting from this website.
