Genshin Impact’s combat system is extremely nuanced.
However, at its core, it revolves around utilizing different characters to triggerElemental Reactionsfor damage.
Here’s everything you gotta know about it, as well as how you could potentially bypass ICD.
What Is ICD?
This is both time-based and hit-based, and follows a similar sequence for most characters.
What Is Standard ICD?
This is because the fourth hit completes the three-hit rule, being the third hit after the last program.
The ICD timer and hit-count both reset after an Elemental Reaction is triggered.
Similarly,this ICD is tied to the specific skill causing the reaction.
Why Does ICD Exist?
There are a few reasons why characters and enemies alike need a cooldown to their elemental program.
Can You Bypass ICD?
ICD is hard coded into the game, so there aren’t any ways of breaking the rule.
This is done by eitherhitting too quickly,or byhaving multiple instances of attacks at once.
ICD
Xingqiu
Xingqiu’s coordinated attacks are sent inwaves of three individual damages.
This makes it soeach trigger applies Hydroto enemies hit.
At C6, this system becomes even greater.
Yelan’s coordinated attacks are also sent in waves of three,applying Hydro on each proc.
ICD And Dendro
Dendro works a little differently than other reactions when it comes to ICD.
Burning has a special Burning Aura that has both Dendro and Pyro properties.
It also has its own special ICD,applying Pyro every two seconds.
The Quicken aura can exist alongside other Electro, Dendro, or Cryo auras.
This means that you’re free to trigger multiple Elemental Reactions at the same time.
Quicken is initially triggered when Dendro and Electro react.
However, the trigger doesn’t do anything but put the Quicken aura on enemies.
Genshin Impact is all about creating party synergy with abilities.
These bow users offer great utility and some are even free!
