In this video I talk about the buffs to transformative reactions that Mihoyo announced in the 4/29 developers discussion posted to their website. Buffs are being testing in the 1.6 beta for Electro-Charged, Superconduct, Overloaded, Swirl, and Shatter. These should lead to a much more balanced game state as far as reactions go “hopefully”.
This video is pretty short so no timestamps this time.

We know the buffs are to boost kazuha sales. Anemo is also getting better.
the beidou supremacy is coming 🤩
heh, I'm happy I main Keqing and Chongyun(kinda, he used to just provide melts for Xiangling, now I'm changing to shatter comp) 😛 I use Zhongli with either of em … would be nice for him to deal shatter dmg, on top of his own and my keqing and chong to really feel the buff from Sucrose. By then maybe my 2nd team for abyss will be good enough to 36 star it. I don't even get why pple think chongyun's auto's are weak, with sucrose he is the best 4 star dps, does even better than razor..just that he needs to rely on melts and that screws up a slot in his party that could be better used but no more 😛
So glad Fischl is my best built character now
So the current electro characters are getting a buff or only the new upcoming characters will be op!?
Funny enogh is this a buff to the future electro traveler and actual anemo traveler lol
PD lol also geo by buffing the absorption of shields
In my opinion, electro reactions should've been competitive with other reactions on launch. Buffing weak elements just to sell upcoming content is a net benefit, but kind of scummy. Integrity in game design is important to me, especially in a f2p gacha model where the focus is generally to rake in consistent profits. The fact that melt and vaporize are relatively very strong and the fact that they havent released a new electro character thus far is not a coincidence. Mihoyo is taking this opportunity to cash in on the imbalanced meta. This is a thing that many games do, but what bothers me most is that this imbalanced meta shouldn't have existed in the first place. Genshin was in beta test for quite a while and mihoyo had no shortage of players to test the game and gather feedback. How the game shipped with this steep meta is strange to me. An entire class of characters are somehow objectively worse for endgame content, and in a gacha game with so few characters so far (and rather low 5star rates), this is highly detrimental to f2p or dolphins who want to clear spirals 11-12. I saw a chart that listed keqing as the most used electro character in spiral abyss 12F at a staggeringly low 17% usage, as opposed to every other 5 star being 30%-97% usage. Pretty disappointing game balance for the better part of a whole year, but I'm looking forward to the electro buffs. I really hope Keqing and the other electro characters see more usage, as it's really not fair to their fans to be left in the dust like that.
Swirl reaction is big joke u can have 1000 em and it barely boost dmg by 500 lol. Hopefully anemo buff good
okay please someone explain to me how electro needs a buff, like it EXPLODES… EXPLODES, and not once, or twice, but as many times as you want.
electro-charged is nice but havent really experimented with it, tho it is true the water electro combo is a bit weak against single enemies aka bosses.
“Waifu over Meta train” that just earned you a sub bruv 😂
Yessirrrr my childe, fischl, bennet, beidou team about to be eating good
Won't anyone talk about he almost lost time! 2:55 ; I would be mad AF
Make electro Pyro trigger overload a 4x dmg pyro electro 2x
"Ganyu can out preform any dps without using any reactions"
Freeze go brrr
Electro reaction can now Crit. Now this can be a huge Dps boost 😀
i wanna be hopeful, but i gotta lower my expectations too since this is likely more an anemo buff than an electro one
Finally!!!
I think People have to lower expectations, unless they let electro charged crit and/or remove knockback from overloaded it is unlikely to be useful at all
Love the videos. Just pulled Beido and had a feeling her kit would appeal to me. I hope Mihoyo leans into the elemental reaction for even more specialization. Chasing "big dps go brr" gets boring. Compare that to fighting games where it's all about how you build and juggle your tools. So much opportunity here.
My dilemma now is, what do I do with Beido? My poor f2p account is running Klee, Barbara, Fischl/lisa, and Noelle. I want to bring in Beido but I'm so spent on my other waifus lol.
I'm coming back to the game now after like 6 months or more (last time I've played the "tower defense" event was online)… is Electro damage REALLY worth right now?
When I played, I used Razor as Main and Fischl 6*, but both of them seemed so weak compared to other elements.
