The seven elements of Genshin Impact are special Status Effects and types of Damage that can be applied in specific orders to trigger Elemental Reactions.

The Seven Elements

Each of the elements in Genshin Impact corresponds to one of the seven gods of the world of Teyvat. Currently, the available regions are Mondstadt (Anemo), Liyue (Geo), Inazuma (Electro), and Sumeru (Dendro), but the three remaining nations of Teyvat are planned to be added in future updates. Here are all the elements in Genshin Impact and their corresponding nations.

Anemo (Wind/Air) – Mondstadt
Geo (Rock/Stone/Earth) – Liyue
Electro (Lightning/Electricity) – Inazuma
Dendro (Grass/Wood/Plants) – Sumeru
Hydro (Water) – Fontaine
Pyro (Fire) – Natlan
Cryo (Ice) – Snezhnaya
