Players can obtain these mods from various vendors at the H.E.L.M. This guide will go over how Elemental Wells work, debunk a few synergies that don't work in-game, and showcase a few builds that should give you an idea of how to use these mods.

This guide is focused on explaining the Elemental Well mechanic itself, not the mods associated with it. If you want to look at how each mod works, check out our Elemental Well mod guide.

Updated January 26th, 2022, by Charles Burgar: In anticipation of The Witch Queen expansion, now is the time to get your hands on all of Year 4's Elemental Well mods. Season of the Lost has made these mods truly powerful, unlocking certain ability-centric builds that synergize nicely with Charged with Light mods and subclass Aspects and Fragments. We've updated this guide with better formatting and slightly more information that was previously missing.

Elemental Wells are small orbs that grant ability energy when they are grabbed. They behave similarly to Orbs of Power, resting on the ground for a long duration before they despawn. When a player spawns a well, it appears for the entire fireteam. Wells are also instanced, meaning that the Elemental Wells you see on your screen are truly yours. Allies get their own instanced Wells.
