What is the Anemo Element?
Genshin's Wind Element
Anemo is the Wind Element in Genshin Impact, with Mondstadt being the designated Anemo Region and Barbatos as the Anemo Archon.
Anemo Status Effect
Anemo on Characters
Anemo will immediately disappear if applied to characters. If a non-Anemo, non-Dendro, and non-Geo element is already applied to a character, Anemo will cause a Swirl effect which will make the initial element and Anemo immediately disappear.
Impetuous Winds
Having two Anemo characters in the party will activate the Anemo Buff called Impetuous Winds, which decreases Stamina Consumption by 15%, increases Movement SPD by 10%, and shortens Skill CD by 5%.
Anemo Strengths and Weaknesses
Strengths, Weaknesses, and Immunities
| Bad For | All Elemental Shields |
|---|---|
| All Elemental Armor | |
| No Effect On | Geo Shields, Dendro Element |
Anemo is not a good element when it comes to breaking Elemental Shields and Elemental Armor. Though it can still do some damage to them, it is better to use the correct element that's weak to the particular Elemental Shield and Elemental Armor.
Elemental Shields need to be completely removed to do damage to an enemy, while Elemental Armor does not need to be completely removed to do damage to an enemy.
Shields used by Mitachurls don't have to be destroyed either as long as you hit the opponent's body.

For the "Anemo on Characters" section it hasn't updated to include non-dendro as well as of 9/19/25. I know it is heavily inferred further in, but I know you guys are pretty meticulous (in a good way) about details.
