Genshin Impact: What the Sumeru Preview Trailer Reveals About Dendro

gamerant.com:

Genshin Impact’s upcoming 3.0 update has fans excited because it’ll unveil a whole new region as well as a new element. The Dendro element has been present in the game since it was first released, but players have yet to see a playable Dendro character. This should change when HoYoverse finally opens the region of Sumeru.

Just recently, HoYoverse dropped a preview teaser featuring landscapes from Sumeru and Dendro-based gameplay in Genshin Impact. It gives players a more in-depth look at the new element as well as what to expect with its elemental reactions.

In a recent video about Sumeru of Genshin Impact, HoYoverse showcased the Dendro Traveler’s skillset, inviting the company’s resident Combat Designers to talk about the new reactions. According to the teaser, the Dendro element encapsulates three keywords: catalysis, wisdom, and life, and these are reflected in the element’s mechanics and overall utility.

Players already experience catalysis with the Burning reaction, which is the only known Dendro reaction as of Genshin Impact version 2.7. This reaction combines Pyro and Dendro, causing prolonged Pyro damage to affected enemies. The video then goes on to reveal that there will be two new reactions added in Genshin Impact 3.0: Bloom and Catalyze.

Bloom involves Hydro and Dendro, taking inspiration from how flowers blossom. In the teaser, Barbara, a Hydro Genshin Impact character, attacks a Dendro slime, which creates a small, green pod on the field. The Combat Designer then talks about Catalyze, which involves Electro and Dendro. Here, Razor is shown attacking an enemy with Electro, causing the pod to burst and deal additional damage.
