Elemental Absorption refers to how certain certain Anemo skills can absorb one of the four elements Electro, Pyro, Hydro or Cryo on its first contact with such an element and then become infused with that element, dealing DMG of that type in addition to Anemo DMG.
Generally, only one element can be absorbed per use. If multiple elements are present, there is a priority for which element is absorbed.
Additional elemental damage dealt by skills that have absorbed an element should not be confused with Swirl damage. Swirl damage is fixed damage based only on character level and elemental mastery, while additional elemental damage from elemental absorption is regular damage and is thus affected by the stats that normally affect damage, including attack, critical hit rate and damage, and elemental damage bonuses.

Abilities
Talents
These talents absorb elements. 7 Talents match the category selection:
| Character | Name | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sucrose hurls an unstable concoction that creates a Large Wind Spirit. While it persists, the Large Wind Spirit will continuously pull in surrounding opponents and objects, launch nearby opponents, and deal Anemo DMG. Elemental Absorption If the Wind Spirit comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro energy, it will deal additional Elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use. |
Elemental Burst | ||
| Guiding the path of the wind currents, you summon a forward-moving tornado that pulls objects and opponents towards itself, dealing continuous Anemo DMG. Elemental Absorption If the tornado comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional Elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use. |
Elemental Burst | ||
| The signature technique of Kazuha's self-styled bladework — a single slash that strikes with the force of the first winds of autumn, dealing AoE Anemo DMG. The blade's passage will leave behind a field named "Autumn Whirlwind" that periodically deals AoE Anemo DMG to opponents within its range. Elemental Absorption If Autumn Whirlwind comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use. |
Elemental Burst | ||
| Grasping the wind's might, you form a vortex of vacuum in your palm, causing continuous Anemo DMG to opponents in front of you. The vacuum vortex explodes when the skill duration ends, causing a greater amount of Anemo DMG over a larger area. Hold DMG and AoE will gradually increase. Elemental Absorption If the vortex comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional Elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use. |
Elemental Skill | ||
| If Chihayaburu comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro when cast, Chihayaburu will absorb that element and if Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan is used before the effect expires, it will deal an additional 200% ATK of the absorbed elemental type as DMG. This will be considered Plunging Attack DMG. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of Chihayaburu. |
1st Ascension Passive | ||
| Fires off an arrow made of countless coalesced winds, creating a huge Stormeye that sucks in opponents and deals continuous Anemo DMG. Elemental Absorption If the Stormeye comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro, it will deal additional Elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use. |
Elemental Burst | ||
| The special technique of the Yoohoo Ninja Arts! Sayu curls up into a rolling Fuufuu Windwheel and smashes into opponents at high speed, dealing Anemo DMG. When the duration ends, she unleashes a Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick, dealing AoE Anemo DMG. Press Enters the Fuufuu Windwheel state, rolling forward a short distance before using the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick. Hold Rolls about continuously in the Fuufuu Windwheel state, increasing Sayu's resistance to interruption while within that state. During this time, Sayu can control the direction of her roll, and can use the skill again to end her Windwheel state early and unleash a stronger version of the Fuufuu Whirlwind Kick. The Hold version of this skill can trigger Elemental Absorption. This skill has a maximum duration of 10s and enters CD once its effects end. The longer Sayu remains in her Windwheel state, the longer the CD. Elemental Absorption If Sayu comes into contact with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro while in her Windwheel state, she will deal additional elemental DMG of that type. Elemental Absorption may only occur once per use of this skill. |

Enemies
Like with talents, only one element can be absorbed per use. Enemies with access to elemental absorption include:
Common Enemies

Event Bosses
Elemental Sources
Many characters' elemental attacks can be sources for Elemental Absorption, including Xiangling's Guoba Attack, Bennett's burst Fantastic Voyage, Razor's Lightning Fang, and Beidou's skill Tidecaller. Elemental Slimes, burning grass, water, rain, and frozen water are also sources of elemental absorption. An element affecting the current character can also be absorbed. However, many other elementally infused attacks will not pass an element and cannot be absorbed. In Co-Op Mode, elements that teammates are affected with can also be absorbed.[1] Elemental shields including Diona's, Xingqiu's (from Fatal Rainscreen), and Xinyan's, and those from Geo reactions will not be infused in a reaction.
- Barbara's skill Let the Show Begin♪ can be a source of Hydro on self for skills such as Palm Vortex, but is unreliable due to the brief application of wet. Venti's Wind's Grand Ode may take a long time to absorb Hydro applied to self from Barbara's skill.
The absorbed element can further trigger elemental reactions, including Swirl. Due to internal cooldowns for element application, it will typically only trigger a couple times. The final hit reapplies the element which was absorbed.
- For example, one can use Venti's burst Wind's Grand Ode to absorb Pyro and then apply Hydro attacks to proc Vaporize reactions.
Absorption Priority
In cases where more than one element can be absorbed there seems to be a priority.[2]
For the Anemo Traveler, the priority is:
For other Anemo characters, the priority is:
Change History
- Elemental Absorption of Geo on Fatui Anemoboxer Vanguard was removed as it was made in error.
