Genshin Impact version 3.0 is expected to bring in Sumeru alongside Dendro characters. Dendro is the only element with no playable characters, and after two years of anticipation, leakers have finally revealed new reactions related to it.

Apparently, Dendro will only react with Pyro, Hydro, and Electro. Many players are hopeful that new reactions with Cryo, Geo, and Anemo will be released later, but as of now, the only known reactions are Intensified and Overgrown.

This triggered the Intensified reaction that not only generates one Electro particle but also increases the Dendro and Electro DMG against the affected enemy for seven seconds. However, the testing footage didn't reveal the damage output or energy increase.

The mushrooms from Overgrown deal AoE Dendro damage after coming in contact with Hydro. It is worth noting that these mushrooms affect the player as well.
