How to Trigger Overloaded

Apply Pyro or Electro First

Genshin - Elemental Reaction - Overloaded

To trigger Overloaded, an enemy must have an aura of either Pyro or Electro. An Elemental Aura can be created by either applying Electro or Pyro.

Some enemies like Slimes and bosses like the Thunder Manifestation have innate Elemental Auras, so applying the same element as their element is not needed to trigger Overload.

Apply the Other Element

Genshin - Chevreuse Overcharged
After initally applying either Pyro or Electro, apply the other element to the equation to trigger Overloaded. This will a Pyro AoE that damages all nearby enemies!

Yoimiya

Yoimiya brings her explosive personality and firepower as our recommended Main-DPS for Overloaded teams.

Best Teams for Overloaded

Pyro DPS Overloaded

Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS Support
Yoimiya Image Yoimiya Yae Miko Image Yae Miko Chevreuse Image Chevreuse Thoma Image Thoma
Yanfei Image Yanfei Beidou Image Beidou Fischl Image Fischl Chevreuse Image Chevreuse

This interchangeable team comps ceters around either Yanfei or Yoimiya as the Main-DPS. Both of these characters deal Pyro Damage through ranged attacks, which reduces the issues on Overloaded's knockback.

Off-Field Electro is Key

Having a Pyro-DPS means that they heavily focus on applying Pyro on their attacks. With this, make sure you have a constant application of Off-Field Electro to support the Main DPS.

Electro DPS Overloaded

Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS Support
Raiden Image Raiden Sara Image Sara Xiangling Image Xiangling Chevreuse Image Chevreuse
Yae Miko Image Yae Miko Fischl Image Fischl Dehya Image Dehya Chevreuse Image Chevreuse

Switching it up, an Electro DPS can lead an Overloaded team. Characters like Yae Miko and Raiden Shogun can synergize with Overloaded.

Off-Field Pyro is a Must

Similar to the Pyro-DPS Overloaded team, having a constant application for the vice-versa element to your Main DPS is needed. So, in this case, make sure your Pyro DPS is supported by Electro supports!
