What is the Electro-Charged Reaction?
Reaction Between an Enemy with Hydro and Electro
| Electro-Charged Elemental Reaction | |
|---|---|

| Effect | Deals Electro damage over time. |
Electro-Charged is the reaction when an enemy is affected with both Hydro and Electro. It functions as a small damage over time debuff to opponents. The effect can reactivate and extend as long as either element is reapplied.
The damage is considered as Electro damage, and can also bounce to nearby enemies who are already affected with Hydro. However, this extra damage will not apply Electro-Charged to such opponents.
Elemental Reactions Guide and How it Works
Simulatenous Hydro and Electro Status
When an enemy has Electro-Charged, they are briefly considered to be affected by both Hydro and Electro, which means that any third element will trigger a reaction to both elements.
For example, a Dendro attack on an Electro-Charged opponent will trigger both Bloom and Quicken, which allows you to mix Elements and easily defeat opponents with a myriad of reactions!
How to Trigger Electro-Charged
Apply Hydro and Electro
To trigger Electro-Charged, an enemy must have an aura of either Electro or Hydro. Applying the other element will immediately trigger Electro-Charged, and use up its remaining aura through DoTs until the status is removed.
Some enemies like Slimes and bosses like the Oceanid mobs have innate Elemental Auras, so applying the same element as their element is not needed to trigger Electro-Charged.
Rainy Weather Effects
When it rains, the enemy will have persistent Hydro aura, so you may simply use Electro to trigger the reaction. Because all enemies will be affected by the rain, it guarantees that all enemies will arc its effects unless they cannot be affected by Hydro.
Best Characters for Electro-Charged
Fischl and Beidou
Fischl and Beidou are the prototypical examples of Electro characters best for the Electro-Charged talents due to their persistent off-field Electro effect to multiple mobs.
Because Beidou's Elemental Burst has an expensive cost, she needs an energy battery to recover it as fast as possible, which Fischl can easily provide.
If you only need one Electro for such a reaction, Fischl's Electro Application is enough as it is easier to activate on her Elemental Skill.

When you need off-field Electro application.Raiden Shogun
Raiden Shogun is another candidate for persistent Electro application because of her Elemental Skill. By itself, it deals slightly less damage, but with faster cooldowns and reliability to hit multiple opponents at once.
Her Elemental Burst also allows her to be the on-field Electro driver as long as you have off-field Hydro like Xingqiu.

Tartaglia
Tartaglia's Riptide marks offer consistent Hydro Application that replenishes itself as long as he triggers the effect. This means that the Electro-Charged effect is effectively permanent until he ends his rotation, or the Electro application falls off.

Xingqiu or Yelan
Off-field examples for Hydro Application are typically Xingqiu or Yelan, who are especially useful when you have an on-hit carry of another Element who can trigger any other reactions with it, such as Alhaitham, who allows your team to create Bloom cores and trigger Quicken.

Sucrose
Anemo characters are generally recommended for Electro-Charged because of the Viridescent Venerer effect and potential for spreading both elements to multiple enemies with an AoE ability.
Sucrose is one of the best characters for such archetypes as she can also share Elemental Mastery, which directly improves the reaction's damage.
