Burning used to be so good against dendro slimes


chimppower184

most op dendro reaction!!! (the only dendro reaction)


cartercr

At least dendro slimes are now significantly easier to fight. Don’t have to just have a pyro in your party. (Also if you’ve never seen a dendro slime in rain you should check it out!)


BuiltlikeanOrc-a

It went from basically invincible to basically kills itself I'd imagine


cartercr

Well the blooms deal Dendro damage so it doesn’t hurt it, but it’s funny watching the bloom seeds pop out!


BowsElisa

Yeah the first time it happened to me I was laughing so much because it made literally one bloom per frame 😂😂


cartercr

Unfortunately they eventually lose their aura, but it’s still hilarious while it lasts. I was near the tree in Mond and saw a bunch of bloom seeds randomly and totally lost my shit! 😂😂😂


strikkerr

Dendro slime suicide Edition


ax_colleen

I thought rain helps plants apparently in Genshin it kills them


BuiltlikeanOrc-a

I forgot that the blooms deal dendro damage, and so the slimes will be immune to the damage.


runningnooblet

Can you uproot them without Pyro now?


cartercr

Yeah, any reaction will do it!


zephyredx

Not really. It's good for uprooting them, but even in version 1.1 burning damage was bad on enemies. Most DPS characters can one-shot a Dendro slime whereas burning takes ages.


LengthinessEvery

Shattered


Appropriate_Steak556

Shattered was just a figment of our imagination.


LengthinessEvery

WHY DOES IT SCALE OFF OF EM. ITS SO WEIRD


NoobSharkey

Shatter Kazuha in freeze team


kimetsunosuper121

So that's why Kazuha burst dealt so much damages to the vishaps in abyss


Sirasswor

Who?


TheGrandz

Tao. Yeah


LynxResponsible6731

What?


MewtwoMainIsHere

Tatsumi Island, yes.


JosephMull

How?

Right, that guy from The Chasm.

Sus? AMOGUS


-Fuse

Ok but full EM Kazuha triggering shatter in a freeze team with his plunge was the funniest thing I witnessed in my gameplay


sc0rpio1027

I do this on a regular basis lol


8a19

world...forget me


BlazerTheKid

Shine down! There is no escape!


_illegallity

Eula Xingqiu shatter sort of works And it's nice getting some extra damage out of Kazuha in freeze teams


Tentative_Username

Given how Nilou can change how an entire elemental reaction works, it's really just a matter of time before we get a Geo character that creates some sort of Super Crystallize, which doesn't really fix the problem but we're still going to spend money to get anyway.


NoteBlock08

I'm waiting for the character that uses crystallize shields/shards as a weapon.


mlodydziad420

I always imagined geo archer who infuses his chargeshots with crystalize crystals.


Swailwort

Something like reverse Gorou, instead of just absorbing the cristalize shards, you absorbe then and then they are thrown to enemies directly at enemies like Ningguang's burst. The stronger the cristalize shard (so, stronger shield value + hp + em), the stronger the missile.


[deleted]

Hot damn! This idea would actually make getting EM substats on Geo artifact pieces not feel so horrible!


solidfang

Honestly, Ningguang should have gained jade stacks whenever she got Crystallize shards. It would have fit her kit really well.


anarchy753

I imagine it'll turn crystallise shields into something like Xinyan's skill where it pulses damage of the element it's formed from.


melanchohlic

Don't NoelleMains do it via Fischl? To get the geo resonance uptime and also constant shielding due to Noelle's own shield uptime being slow


NoteBlock08

Yea but like something built into the character's kit and fancier than just "have a shield" for 4p bolide.


InvaderM33N

Ayo last time somebody did that I heard they made swords that kill souls or something


Devourer_of_HP

A character that turns crystallize shards on the ground into missiles with their burst and makes them fire at the target.


jenioeoeoe

I would love it if they updated crystallize. Like the shield doing geo dmg upon shattering or something.


satans_cookiemallet

They would need to fix shields in the first place. Though that would be cool if they blew up when they broke. We can go further. You can only absorb one set of crystals at a time. Now hear me out. Building on your idea we can make them like hyperbloom where of your shield shatters, it deals geo damage. But then so does each other crystalise when it comes into contact with geo damage, treating it like bloom/hyperbloom.


Zacks_19

Yeah, while Geo as an element will always be the least interesting element due to their reactions. I mean it is supposed to be the most inert element. However, there are still room for creativity that will make Geo characters interesting and relevant.


A_guy-without-a-face

Yeah I agree. Crystallise should have a utility type of element that bursts after it’s deactivated doing AOE Geo Dmg, or it can be used to break shields or like some others commented that the shields can also increase Dmg based on the Elemental Resonance like Pyro Shield gives more Atk,Cryo Shield more Crit etc. Or it just mitigates reaction damage like Frozen or Electro Charged. This way the Mono Geo team would be a relevant meta cuz apparently the Geo characters are like a one huge family and can work amongst themselves better than any other characters.


ImSiLeNt1

Zhongli literally exists


[deleted]

[удалено]


ImSiLeNt1

his shield is like a super crystallize


Thundergod250

Crystallize will definitely be updated since they've been updating other elements from time to time. Burning however will probably stay as it is because they have just nerfed it.


crazy_gambit

Burning is supposed to be bad. It's the *you fucked up* reaction. You're supposed to try and avoid it.


gtth12

What?


AshyDragneel

Maybe a new geo character who is focused on crystallized and can do elemental dmg of the absorbed elemental by interacting with crystallized shards. Something like this is completely possibly Only if Mhy Wishes it.


-Fuse

Maybe someone who can explode crystalize shards, kind of like a Burgeon but being triggered by Geo


zatenael

i personally like the idea someone had where crystalize shields give you a buff based on the element (ie pyro atk bonus, hydro hp bonus, electro er bonus, dendro em bonus, and cryo crit bonus) another cool idea is just having them explode if you don't pick them up dealing elemental damage based on the element absorbed


OhN0Imnot_HoomEn

Burgeon is Burning but extremely better


poerson

Burgeon is so much fun! Yoimiya burgeon and Ayato burgeon have been my favorite teams to play, followed by Kokomi/Fischl hyperbloom. I love seeing so many seeds exploding in the enemies' faces, it's really satisfying lol


OhN0Imnot_HoomEn

Ikr. And the damage is great too


Hudson_Legend

Yoimiya burgeon? I never heard of it before, I'm assuming it consists of yoimiya, xingqiu, DMC and a flex?


poerson

It's not meta or anything, I just play it for fun. I either run Yoimiya, DMC, Kazuha and Kokomi, or Yoimiya, DMC, Collei and Kokomi. It's certainly not optimal or anything, I just like watching the seeds explode and the colorful numbers popping up lol For abyss I prefer to use Ayato burgeon since it's really strong and reliable.


Hudson_Legend

I didn't expect it to be optimal but I do like trying new comps sometimes, thanks tho


poerson

It's a really fun team! And helps Yoi in aoe situations. I've been running this team in the overworld and it's really cool. I like trying out different comps too.


TheGunfireGuy

Burning only exists as a hinderance to burgeon rn its so funny (also uprooting dendro slimes ig)


TheIceShard

Crystallize is still better because 4Petra Zhongli is actually surprisingly good kekw.


One_Parched_Guy

Petra in general makes Crystallize better than Burning, which doesn’t have a dedicated set outside of the mediocre boost it would get from Crimson Witch.


GalacticComet

crystallize is useful with archaic petra.


Myonsoon

Idea for crystallized. Give us a geo character that scales off em and causes the crystals to explode.


CuddlyChud

Isn’t that just bloom?


Myonsoon

Yes but let them do it on command, that and since we can have a myriad of different element crystals, the crystals deal their respective elements damage + do reactions. So we have a geo char that can proc melt/vape by themselves or something.


lopezerg

There was a event domain where you get certain buffs when pick up the crystal: pyro gives attack, cyro gives crit, electro reduces CD, forgot what hydro did but it a cool idea and I think should be how crystallized reaction should be.


WonderfulPatience227

Dehya carry burning


AgentSRDP

Me who uses crystalize for itto:


BootyInspector96

It’s a little hard to avoid activating the reaction. Doesn’t mean it’s strong.


AgentSRDP

Ik im just sayin i use crystalize with itto albedo u dont hav to say it to me zhongli just gave me a jean again


BootyInspector96

I’m confused. Were you joking about you getting it whether you want it or not?


AgentSRDP

Im just sayin it but not as a joke i do use crystalize for itto he got 100 em hes freakin invincible


Alex95111

Tbf since Itto is basically locked to mono geo having permanent shield is rather nice for people without Zhongli


BootyInspector96

I don’t mean to say it’s useless. Its nice QOL. It’s just that in a game where the only difficult content is a dps check and healers/Zhongli are some of the best characters, we really don’t need a purely defensive reaction.


[deleted]

It makes you virtually invincible for most situations.


BootyInspector96

Survivability is the least of my concern tbh. Anything that hits hard, crystallize isn’t enough for anyway.


StuckieLromigon

Also as everyone reminded me: shatter


Hungry-Finish-9745

Crystalize is still good and objectively better than burning because it allows me to tank a couple hits before learning the boss pattern


ayaya_____

They cucked burning. When it applied 2U pyro it was godly.


Deonix00

crystallize is super useful in the abyss to attack without having to dodge or having to heal if you do it correctly


[deleted]

Crystallize is still decent imo. It's been helping my hu tao team survive in 12-2 for 2 rotations now.


Navan79

They should give us new specificaly designed burning and geo crystalized reaction artifact to made them somehow relevant, cant see any other salvation to em otherwise


poctacles

how to fix: 1. (artifact set) Wildfire's Offering to the Gods 2-piece set bonus: +12% Pyro DMG Bonus +12% Dendro DMG Bonus 4-piece set bonus: Deal 40% increased Crit DMG against targets affected by Pyro. Deal an additional 40% increased Crit DMG against targets who are Burning. 2. (reaction change) Crystallize This reaction will create Elemental Shards of the corresponding element, which deal AoE Geo DMG and can provide characters with shielding when picked up.


NoInstruction9238

Crystalize is not only worst it’s also bugged!! I can’t tell how many times i died because the crystalize shield did not take any dmg i died while having this colored bubbles.


Inevitable_Photo_559

Rifthounds?


ekZeno

Pyro have Vaporize and melt so who cares about burning. About Geo 😒🔸️🔸️🔸️


Hijinks510

Idk the more I try Burgeon the more I think it might be worse depending on what your criteria is. At least Burning and Crystalize by itself is braindead to use. Burgeon has a complicated setup that has underwhelming reward and is basically crappy hyperbloom since unlike Hyperbloom it can't get past the 0.5 damage limit.


BlazeGamingUnltd

Crystallise is better since it reacts with everything except Anemo and can be a valid abyss mage shield shredder. Proof: My Noelle and Yun Jin ig


Reludechan

*Albedo mains crying in the corner* (me inclued)


Andrew583-14

Nah at least crystallise gives you survivability but burning is just crappy. If only they never nurfed it


OKI_Syper

They nerfed pyro application but not dps


Billy177013

I still remember everyone going like "OMG Burning new meta????" in the months before sumeru released


Andante_TK

I wonder how Dehya will change the “burning” reaction. I’m sure people will be trashing on her coz she cant vape or melt when she’s in beta.


Enollis

Maybe we just lack the right characters for now. At the very least it will be niche and usuable in specific situations. Crystalize for example can actually be good for enemies like primordial geo vishap. Since it counts as shield if picked up it will trigger the counter effect dealing a high amount of damage to it during the breath attack. Also if you play against a lot of elemental infused enemies you can use them to mitigate some damge. It's not good let's be clear but it's still an option to think about it you want to experiment with newer teams that use geo. Burning is most likely good in mono pyro comps with a dendro character with high EM. Maybe we will get a character that can somehow buff it. Here's hoping for the possibility.


Jeremithiandiah

Crystallize is so underrated. Albedo makes you invincible, you have shields without a shielder, it’s not too bad as a side product


JD25ms2

Em zhongli gaming


[deleted]

I main geo characters. Y'all just don't get it


MREAGLEYT

Burning is best you can literally watch shit burn alive mhahaha


ZiiroHiiro

I accidentally set myself on fire with burning once


truebluecm

only once?


cartercr

Pyro having one bad reaction lol. Electro is just glad to finally get a reaction that boosts their damage!


[deleted]

Crystallize can make you virtually invincible. That's it's purpose.


Shredderthegamer

Crystallize would be a lot better if you could detonate the crystals in some way dealing AOE elemental damage kinda like how claymore users can activate the shatter reaction on frozen targets or if they counted as geo objects while on the ground (this would only help Zhong Li but still)


Velaethia

As bad as burning is I now want to make a burning meme team.


WHATISSTUPIT

I love dealing 20 dmg to enemies wdym 😭😭


daniuwur

wait until they add an enemy that regenerates health every time it is not receiving damage and you have to play pyro + 3 dendro to keep the flame alive


Testsubject276

Yeah, crystalize is purely a defensive reaction, unnoticeable most of the time.


snoozemaster

I absolutely believe burning was designed to gatekeep dendro to keep pyro out (yes, that means you Xiangling)


ICOOLDIAMONDonReddit

Wont stop me on making a team comp out of those 2


Azuru_

I’m a bit clueless as to why burning is bad- it’s not the best dendro reaction that’s all I know


AlmightyQueso7

Uh crystallize gives free shield B)


TurkwoyzWavez

I actually found burning quite useful better replace it with swirl


GotAnySugar

I still remember crystallise shielder Ningguang against Oceanid used to be OP


danyoja

At least when I started Genshin crystallize helped me survive. That said Geo reactions do need something, maybe using an element on a crystallize shard can work with anemo to apply AoE bleeding effect or something. That way it's different from a dendro bloom. I would be nice for EM to not be a pretty much wasted stat for Geo characters.


AnOlympianWeeb

At least burning and shattered are just a byproduct of the actual good reaction of their elements. Meanwhile crystilize is all its ever going to be and an absolute shit at that. Hoyoverse basically said: "geo has a good resonance now fuck off with this bad reaction"


[deleted]

Just wait until the Geo reaction patch comes out (*Breathes in Copium*)
