The Pyro element can be combined with the Dendro element to cause the burning effect.
  • Electro-Charged: It happens when you combine Electro and Hydro. It increases the length of time and the scale of lighting damage.
  • Frozen: Combine Cryo and Hydro to make this reaction and freeze the enemy. Then, the damage will double when you break the ice.
  • Overloaded: It works when combining Pyro and Electro. It causes damage on a large scale.
The Overloaded effect is produced when combining Electro and Pyro elements.
  • Superconduct: Combine Cryo and Electro to make this reaction and decrease the defense by 50% and increase the scale of ice damage.
  • Swirl: It occurs when you combine Anemo with Pyro/Hydro/Electro/Cryo. This reaction spreads the effects of the secondary elements.
You can create the Swirl reaction when combining Anemo with Pyro/Hydro/Electro/ or Cryo.
  • Crystalize: It happens when players combine Geo with other elements like Pyro/Hydro/Electro/Cryo. Then, players can create crystals with elemental effects on the battlefield to pick up and create an elemental shield covering their characters.
This Crystal is the result when combining Geo and Pyro/Hydro/Electro/ or Cryo.

Those are nine existing element combinations in Genshin Impact now. It's best to learn them by heart to use them flexibly on the map to win every battle.
