Genshin Impact’s combat system is based on combining different elemental reactions to reach the highest damage numbers. Apart from the Traveler, each character in the playable roster has the ability to control only one element.
After months of speculation, players will finally have the option to add a new type of element in their team composition. The official livestream event forGenshin Impactupdate 2.8 has officially confirmed that the new major region Sumeru should arrive in one of the upcoming updates, most likely right after 2.8 ends.

The addition of the new Dendro element will introduce numerous new elemental reactions and many players seemed to be confused by the new mechanics. Luckily Reddit user Trass84 has shared a very helpful chart that shows all the new elemental reactions that can be triggered. Trass84 has listed all thenew Dendro elemental reactionsalong with their descriptions:
The chart also reveals that while Dendro does not directly interact with Geo, there is a high chance that it willtrigger Crystalize shields. When it comes to the Anemo element, players expect Swirl to be interactive with the Bloom Seeds. Considering that many Dendro elemental reactions are based around the Bloom Seeds, players will most likely have to include a Hydro character to use the Dendro characters to their full potential.
Players are excited about the addition of the new element since it has the potential to completely change the currentGenshin Impactcombat system. Developer HoYoverse is yet to release more details about the exact multiplier numbers that will be tied with the new elemental reactions. Going by HoYoverse’s usual update schedule, the new region and element should arrive at the end of August.
When it comes to thefirst Dendro characters inGenshin Impact, the game’s official social media accounts have already confirmed the arrival of two Dendro users: Tighnari and Collei. Tighnari will apparently be the update’s only five-star character which means that players can expect a double re-run in the second update.
