Melt is the reaction when an enemy affected by Cryo or Pyro is attacked by the other element. This damage is then amplified multiplicatively, with Pyro being the strongest when it is the trigger for the reaction.
A character's Elemental Mastery increases the damage dealt by a percentage of their current stat on top of the reaction's multiplier. Do note that only the triggerer for the reaction will use their Elemental Mastery stat. The applier won't need to do so.
Elemental Reactions Guide and How it Works
To set up Melt, an enemy must have an aura of either Cryo or Pyro. An enemy is also considered affected by Cryo when it is affected by Frozen, and Pyro by Burning.
After an enemy has Pyro or Cryo, simply attack them with the other element to trigger Melt. This consumes both elemental auras.
Ganyu can act as both the Melt trigger or an applier for the reaction. If built as a triggerer, she uses her enhanced Charged Attack while your off-fielders apply Pyro or Burning.
 If your party is focused on applying strong Pyro or Burning and you need a Cryo trigger. |
| If your party is focused on applying off-field Cryo for your Pyro trigger. |
Wriothesley applies Cryo periodically that he can reliably be the trigger for Melt especially when using his Elemental Skill form and Special Charged Attacks. As long as you have either Burning or off-field Pyro characters spread, Wriothesley will Melt your enemies.
| When you want to have an Electro Main DPS with consistent on-field application. |
| When you want to have an Electro Sub DPS with consistent off-field application. |
| When you have a team centered on using multiple Elemental Bursts. |
Wriothesley Rating and Best Builds
There aren't much characters so far in the game who can apply Pyro fast as much as Xiangling with Bennett's help for energy. Because Xiangling's burst will always apply Pyro when it hits an enemy, you can use this combo if you need reliable off-field Pyro application.
| When you need strong off-field Pyro application. |
Burning is another reliable source of Pyro application through the Burning reaction, which is a combination of Dendro and Pyro. As long as Nahida's Elemental Skill mark is on an enemy with any persistent Pyro application, the Burning effect will stick.
An on-field Cryo like Ganyu can then utilize the Burning effect for Melt.
| When you need an off-field Pyro application through artificial means with Dendro. |
| When you want to add more off-field damage instead of just application. |
