I. How To Trigger Overload

Overload is the elemental reaction between Pyro and Electro. There are two ways to trigger this reaction.

  • Apply Electro on the Pyro-infused targets;
  • Apply Pyro on the Electro-infused targets.

Some targets have innate Pyro or Electro elemental auras, such as Pyro and Electro Slimes, Regisvines, Hypostasis, and Thunder Manifestation. You only have to unleash the other element to trigger this elemental reaction.

II. Best Genshin Characters For Overload

Genshin Impact introduced lots of Pyro and Electro characters to trigger Genshin Impact Overload Reaction. Let's check out the best characters for this elemental reaction here.

#1. Chevreuse - Best Overload Supporter

Chevreuse is the best Overload supporter in Genshin Impact now. She has a supportive kit that boosts both Electro and Pyro damage. Moreover, her elemental burst can gather enemies and heal the active characters.

#2. Yoimiya - Pyro Overload DPS

Yoimiya is the best Overload DPS character in Genshin Impact thanks to her AoE explosive burst. Her firepower and Pyro-infused attacks make Yoimiya a perfect Pyro Overload DPS. This Pyro archer is naturally a single-target DPS, however, Overload helps cover this limit.

You should use Yoimiya for Overload when having an off-field Electro applicator, such as Fischl, Beidou, and Sara. Moreover, this long-ranged Pyro Main DPS is effective in defeating nimble and dangerous bosses, such as Electro Hypostasis and Thunder Manifestation.

#3. Raiden Shogun - Electro Overload DPS

When countering Pyro-infused bosses, Raiden Shogun is the best Electro Overload DPS to use. Her powerful Elemental Burst gives your Overload team impressive output damage. She can take both DPS and sub-DPS roles in this team, especially when you have an off-field Pyro applicator.

III. Best Overload Team Comps

There are two ways to build an Overload team with released Pyro and Electro characters. Here are the top four recommended teams.

#1. Pyro DPS Overload

Yoimiya and Yanfei are the best Pyro DPS for Overload thanks to their AoE attacks. But having an off-field Electro DPS is the key to these Overload teams. For example:

  • Yoimiya's team includes Yea Miko as the off-field Electro Applicator, Chevreuse as the supporter, and Zhongli as the shielder;
  • Yanfei's team includes Beidou and Fischl as Electro Applicators and Chevreuse as the supporter.

#2. Electro DPS Overload

Yae Miko can also play as the main DPS in an Electro DPS Overload team. Raiden Shogun is one of the best Electro DPS for the Overload team. You also need an off-field Pyro applicator if the target is not infused with Pyro innately. For example:

  • Raiden Shogun's team includes Chevreuse as the supporter, Xiangling as the Pyro applicator, and Sara as the Electro applicator;
  • Yae Miko's team includes Dehya as the Pyro applicator, Chevreuse as the Overload supporter, and Fischl as the Electro applicator.

That's how to trigger and build Overload teams in Genshin Impact. The release of Chevreuse makes this elemental reaction more useful and powerful with her supportive kit.
