Igniting Your Team: A Comprehensive Guide to Pyro Resonance in Genshin Impact

To resonate with Pyro in Genshin Impact, you simply need to have at least two characters of the Pyro element in your active party. Once this condition is met, the Fervent Flames Elemental Resonance will automatically activate, granting your team specific bonuses. This is a straightforward and effective way to boost your team’s offensive capabilities.

Understanding Elemental Resonance

In Genshin Impact, Elemental Resonance offers passive bonuses to your team based on the elemental composition of your party. This system encourages strategic team building and allows players to tailor their team’s strengths to specific challenges. The Pyro Resonance, Fervent Flames, is a popular choice for players seeking to maximize damage output.

Fervent Flames: The Pyro Resonance Effect

The Fervent Flames resonance provides two key benefits:

Reduced Cryo Affliction: Affected by Cryo for 40% less time. This is incredibly useful in situations where Cryo enemies are prevalent, as it mitigates the debilitating Freeze reaction and other Cryo-related debuffs.
Increased ATK: Increases ATK by 25%. This is the primary draw of the Pyro Resonance. A flat 25% ATK increase significantly boosts the damage potential of your entire team, especially characters whose damage scales primarily with ATK.

Is Pyro Resonance Worth It?

The question of whether Pyro Resonance is “worth it” depends heavily on your team composition, your playstyle, and the content you’re tackling. Here’s a breakdown:

When Pyro Resonance Shines

ATK-Scaling DPS: Characters like Diluc, Hu Tao, Yoimiya, and Klee benefit immensely from the 25% ATK boost. If your main DPS is a Pyro character or relies heavily on ATK, the Resonance is a powerful multiplier.
Overworld Exploration: In the open world, the extra damage from Pyro Resonance can significantly speed up combat encounters, making exploration smoother and more efficient.
Domains and Spiral Abyss: Certain domains and Spiral Abyss floors favor Pyro DPS. In these cases, the Resonance can provide a substantial edge.

Potential Drawbacks

Lack of Elemental Diversity: Sacrificing elemental diversity can limit your ability to trigger various Elemental Reactions, which are crucial for certain team compositions.
Specific Enemy Weaknesses: Some enemies are highly resistant to Pyro damage. In these situations, relying solely on Pyro damage can be detrimental.
Alternative Resonances: Other resonances, like Geo’s Enduring Rock, can offer different benefits, such as increased survivability and Geo RES reduction.

Comparing to Other Resonances

While Pyro Resonance is powerful for ATK boosting, it’s important to consider alternatives:

Geo Resonance (Enduring Rock): Offers shield strength, increased damage when shielded, and Geo RES reduction. Excellent for teams built around Geo characters like Zhongli and Arataki Itto.
Hydro Resonance (Soothing Water): Increases incoming healing by 30%. Useful for sustain-focused teams.
Cryo Resonance (Shattering Ice): Increases CRIT Rate against enemies that are Frozen or affected by Cryo by 15%. Favors Cryo DPS characters like Ayaka and Ganyu.
Electro Resonance (High Voltage): Electro application has a 100% chance to generate an Electro Elemental Particle (CD 5s). Useful for energy-hungry teams like Raiden Shogun and Fischl.
Anemo Resonance (Impetuous Winds): Decreases Stamina Consumption by 15%, increases Movement SPD by 10%, and shortens Skill CD by 5%. Provides mobility and faster skill usage.
Dendro Resonance (Sprawling Greenery): Increases Elemental Mastery by 50. After triggering Burning, Quicken, or Bloom reactions, increases Elemental Mastery of nearby party members by 30 for 6s. A powerful Resonance for dendro-focused teams.

Building a Pyro Resonance Team

When building a Pyro Resonance team, consider the following:

Main DPS: Choose a Pyro DPS character who benefits greatly from the ATK boost.
Support: Include Pyro support characters who can provide off-field damage, healing, or utility. Bennett is an excellent choice due to his ATK buffing and healing capabilities. Xiangling is another strong option for her off-field Pyro application and consistent damage.
Flex Slot: The remaining two slots can be filled with characters of other elements who provide valuable reactions or utility. Consider Hydro characters for Vaporize reactions (e.g., Xingqiu, Yelan), Cryo characters for Melt reactions (e.g., Ganyu, Rosaria), or Anemo characters for crowd control and Swirl reactions (e.g., Kazuha, Venti).
Synergy: Focus on characters whose kits synergize well with each other and complement the strengths of the Pyro Resonance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What exactly does “affected by Cryo for 40% less time” mean?

This means that the duration of any Cryo-related debuffs, such as Freeze, is reduced by 40%. This can significantly improve your team’s mobility and overall effectiveness in Cryo-heavy environments.

2. Does the 25% ATK boost apply to the entire team?

Yes, the 25% ATK boost applies to all characters in your active party, regardless of their element.

3. Does having more than two Pyro characters further increase the ATK bonus?

No, the Fervent Flames resonance only requires two Pyro characters. Adding more will not provide any additional bonuses.

4. Is Pyro Resonance always better than other resonances?

Not necessarily. The best resonance depends on your team composition, playstyle, and the specific challenges you’re facing. Consider the strengths and weaknesses of each resonance and choose the one that best suits your needs.

5. What are some good team compositions for Pyro Resonance?

Some popular Pyro Resonance team compositions include:

Hu Tao + Xingqiu + Yelan + Thoma/Zhongli: A Vaporize-focused team with strong single-target damage.
Diluc + Xingqiu + Bennett + Sucrose/Kazuha: A classic Vaporize team with consistent damage and crowd control.
Yoimiya + Xingqiu/Yelan + Yun Jin + Bennett/Zhongli: A single-target focused team with increased normal attack damage.
Klee + Bennett + Sucrose/Kazuha + Xiangling: An AOE-focused team with high Pyro damage potential.

6. Can the Traveler resonate with Pyro?

No, the Traveler cannot directly resonate with Pyro by default. To change the Traveler’s element, you need to interact with a Statue of The Seven in a region associated with the desired element (e.g., Liyue for Geo).

7. Does Pyro Resonance affect Elemental Reactions?

No, the Pyro Resonance does not directly affect the damage or effectiveness of Elemental Reactions. However, the increased ATK can indirectly boost the damage of reactions like Vaporize and Melt.

8. Is there a character that is the best Pyro character for triggering the Fervent Flames Resonance?

It depends on your team and what you are looking for. Bennett is widely regarded as one of the best support characters in the game, and his synergy with Pyro DPS characters makes him an excellent choice for activating Pyro Resonance. Xiangling is another great option because of her strong off-field DPS.

9. How does Elemental Mastery interact with Pyro Resonance?

Elemental Mastery increases the damage dealt by Elemental Reactions, such as Vaporize and Melt. While Pyro Resonance itself doesn’t directly increase Elemental Mastery, a well-built Pyro team can benefit greatly from characters with high Elemental Mastery who can trigger these reactions effectively. The Games Learning Society has some good resources on how stats can affect the gameplay experience. You can read more at GamesLearningSociety.org.

10. Can I use Pyro Resonance in the Spiral Abyss?

Yes, you can use Pyro Resonance in the Spiral Abyss. In fact, some Spiral Abyss floors are specifically designed to favor Pyro characters and teams.

11. Is Pyro Resonance effective against all types of enemies?

No, some enemies are highly resistant to Pyro damage. It’s important to consider enemy resistances when building your team and choose elements that are effective against the specific enemies you’ll be facing.

12. Does the Pyro Resonance affect physical damage?

No, the Pyro Resonance only affects ATK and Cryo resistance, which primarily impact elemental damage. It does not directly affect physical damage.

13. How can I maximize the benefits of Pyro Resonance?

To maximize the benefits of Pyro Resonance:

Choose Pyro DPS characters who scale well with ATK.
Include support characters who can provide off-field damage, healing, or utility.
Utilize Elemental Reactions to further amplify your damage output.
Optimize your characters’ artifacts and weapons to maximize their stats.

14. Where can I find more information on Genshin Impact team building strategies?

There are many online resources available, including Genshin Impact wikis, community forums, and YouTube guides. Experimenting with different team compositions and strategies is also a great way to learn what works best for you.
