Genshin Impact is buffing Elemental Reactions, finally!

The newest Developers Discussion posted by official Genshin Impact accounts reveals what we can expect in the future. There will be more quality-of-life updates, but most importantly, DMG from Elemental Reactions will get buffed in a future Genshin Impact update.

Elemental Reaction buffs

Damage from Overloaded (Pyro + Electro), Superconduct (Cryo + Electro), Electro-Charged (Hydro + Electro), and Shatter (Hydro + Cryo + Geo/Blunt attack) will be increased. According to the Developers Discussion, this adjustment is being made to "allow a wider variety of characters and lineups to shine."

The buff to Elemental Reaction DMG will be live on Genshin Impact version 5.2, scheduled for November 20, 2024.

Other improvements in Genshin 5.2

The Developers Discussion improves the Treasure Compass, Artifacts, and other aspects of the game.

Treasure Compass

The Treasure Compass can now find more chests, including Time Trials and Seelies. An option to "Quick Swap" your Treasure Compass and Oculus Resonance Stone will be added so it matches whichever region you're in.

Artifacts

The Lock Plan is being added, which gives you a lot of freedom to tell the game which Artifacts to lock and not. There is a General Lock Plan and Set Lock Plan which are preset, but you can also set your own parameters.

There will also be an "Artifact Astral Mark," which will essentially allow you to Favorite a piece. This will cause the piece to be automatically locked and be shown at the top of your inventory.

Additionally, a toggle to show 5-star Artifacts in obtain order will be added.

Weapons

Which weapons you have, its levels, and refinement rank will now be shown when choosing weapons on the Forging, Shop, and Battle Pass pages.

Serenitea Pot

All previously obtained wood can now be purchased from the Realm Debot in the Serenitea Pot. The cooldown of the Boon of the Elder Tree gadget is being reduced from 15 seconds to 5.

Imaginarium Theater

The Blessing Level buffs of Special Guest Stars will now be increased by 100%.

The Performance Prep page is also receiving changes to help players make better decisions.

All of these optimizations can be expected on Genshin Impact version 5.2, scheduled for November 20, 2024.
