How to Trigger Elemental Reactions and Status Effects

Combining multiple elements during combat allows you to trigger powerful combo bursts and immobilize dangerous mobs with unique status effects.

Freezing Targets with Cryo

To stop an aggressive mob from advancing, utilize Cryo elemental strikes:

1. Equip a Cryo elemental diamond sword on your active hotbar.

2. Strike a hostile mob directly in melee range.

3. The Cryo weapon strike applies the custom Freeze status effect, halting the target in place and leaving it open to follow-up attacks.

Triggering Elemental Combo Bursts

You can unleash powerful reaction bursts by mixing different elements on the same enemy:

1. Open an engagement by striking a hostile mob with an elemental blade, such as a Pyro sword to inflict a custom status effect.

2. Quickly swap to a different elemental weapon on your hotbar, such as a Hydro or Cryo blade.

3. Land a follow-up melee strike while the initial elemental status is active on the target.

4. Triggering the combined reaction generates an elemental burst during the melee clash, dealing compounded combat effects to hostile targets.
