All Genshin Impact Elements, Reactions, and Resonances

Thing plus Other Thing equals Bigger Thing

A huge aspect of Genshin Impact is elemental interactions. Each character has an element or a “type,” and the game has several different ways elements can react to one another. There are Reactions, which means the result of combining elements directly during combat. Then there are Resonances, which are bonuses applied based on your party makeup. While Genshin Impact’s more casual bent means mastering all this stuff isn’t totally necessary, knowing what it all does can really help level up your game. So if you need a quick reference for all the elemental Reactions and Resonance in Genshin Impact, you’ve come to the right place.
