Elemental Infusions refer to when Normal Attacks are converted to elemental damage (usually for Claymore, Polearm, and Sword users). They are usually activated upon Elemental Skill or Elemental Burst. Some may require leveling up characters or constellations to activate as passives.
Bennett's and Chongyun's infusions will apply to the whole team. Other infusions will only apply to a single character. All catalyst and charged bow attacks are infused with the bearer's element, though some bow users like Tartaglia and Yoimiya can convert their attacks to elemental damage in different ways as well.
Elemental Conversions work similarly to Elemental Infusions, which convert Normal Attacks to elemental damage. However, unlike Elemental Infusions, Elemental Conversions can NOT be overridden.

Talents
4 Talents match the category selection:
| Character | Name | Description | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
 Chongyun |
 Spirit Blade: Chonghua's Layered Frost |
Chongyun strikes the ground with his greatsword, causing a Cryo explosion in a circular AoE in front of him that deals Cryo DMG. After a short delay, the cold air created by the Cryo explosion will coalesce into a Chonghua Frost Field, within which all Sword, Claymore and Polearm-wielding characters' weapons will be infused with Cryo. |
Elemental Skill |
 Diluc |
 Dawn |
Releases intense flames to knock nearby opponents back, dealing Pyro DMG. The flames then converge into the weapon, summoning a Phoenix that flies forward and deals massive Pyro DMG to all opponents in its path. The Phoenix explodes upon reaching its destination, causing a large amount of AoE Pyro DMG. The searing flames that run down his blade cause it to be infused with Pyro. |

Press: Can be used in mid-air. Hold: Charges up before unleashing greater Anemo DMG over a larger AoE than Press Mode. Plunging Attack: Midare Ranzan: Within 10s of remaining airborne after casting Chihayaburu, Kazuha can unleash a powerful Plunging Attack known as Midare Ranzan. When a Plunging Attack is performed using the effects of the Elemental Skill Chihayaburu, Plunging Attack DMG is converted to Anemo DMG. On landing, Kazuha creates a small wind tunnel via a secret blade technique that pulls in nearby objects and opponents. Midare Ranzan's DMG is considered Plunging Attack DMG. |

Overriding Infusions
When multiple infusion skills are used at once, one infusion will override the others.
- Diluc's Pyro infusion overrides Chongyun's infusion
- Keqing's Electro infusion does not override Chongyun's infusion or Bennett's infusion
- Bennett's infusion overrides Chongyun's infusion and Keqing's infusion
- Chongyun's infusion overrides Keqing's infusion but not Bennett or Diluc's infusion
- The conversions for characters like Hu Tao, Noelle, Tartaglia, and Xiao cannot be overridden.
- Kazuha's Midare Ranzan is converted to Anemo so it cannot be overridden by Bennett or Chongyun's field infusions.
- However, the Anemo infusion gained from Kazuha's 6th Constellation can be overridden by the field infusions. The field infusion from Bennett or Chongyun will react with Kazuha's Anemo infusion and consume it, creating a Swirl reaction. After that, Kazuha's Anemo infusion will be overridden by the field infusion.
- The swirl damage scales off the Elemental Mastery of the character who created the field (Chongyun or Bennett), not Kazuha's.
Basically, Bennett's infusion takes precedence over all other infusions (except for ones that cannot be overridden), while Diluc's will take priority over external infusions. Chongyun's infusion is next in line; Keqing's infusion, which is below his, will be overridden.
When two overridable infusions are continuously applied upon a weapon (this is only done by fields), the infusion of the weapon will randomly change. For example, since both Chongyun's and Bennett's infusions are fields, and Bennett's takes priority over Chongyun's, there will be short periods where Bennett's infusion is not applied, and thus the elemental infusion of the weapon will momentarily be Cryo.
Infusion Priority Table
The following table describes which elemental infusion will take precedence when multiple characters' infusion skills are used. Note that C followed by a number denotes Constellation number.
| Bennett (C6 field) | Chongyun field | |
|---|---|---|
| Bennett (C6) | - | 
|
| Chongyun |
|
- |
| Diluc |
|
|
| Kaedehara Kazuha (C6) |
|
|
| Kamisato Ayaka |
|
|
| Keqing |
|
|
Based on this, the observed infusion priorities (for the overridable infusions) are:
← ← 
That is, Anemo and Electro infusions are overridden by Cryo and Pyro; and Cryo infusions are overridden by Pyro. Currently, Pyro infusions are not overridden by any other infusions. Moreover, there are currently no overridable Hydro or Geo infusions (though some characters have conversions for these elements).
Note the above just applies to infusions that can be overridden. So while Constellation Lv. 6 Kazuha's Anemo infusion can be overridden by Pyro and Cryo, Xiao's Anemo conversion cannot be overridden by any other elemental infusion, so Xiao's conversion will always make him do Anemo damage, even if he is in Bennett or Chongyun's fields.
Types of Infusions
Some infusions will end when the character is switched out. Others will remain for its intended duration, so one can switch to a different character and switch back to the infused character, and the infusion will remain before its expiration.
| When switching out | Characters |
|---|---|
| Infusion remains | |
| Infusion ends |
Some infusions only apply to the individual. Others apply to the whole team.

Enemies
Certain enemies can infuse themselves or their weapons.
Azhdaha: Can infuse itself with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro. In its last phase, it can do a dual infusion.- Primo Geovishap: Can infuse itself with Hydro/Pyro/Cryo/Electro.
- Fatui Electrohammer Vanguard: In its charged shielded state, it can infuse its hammer attacks with Electro.
- Blazing Axe Mitachurl: It can infuse its axe with Pyro.
- Crackling Axe Mitachurl: It can infuse its axe with Electro.
- Stonehide Lawachurl: It can enter an infused state when it generates its Geo shield.
- Frostarm Lawachurl: It can enter an infused state when it generates its Cryo shield.
- Thunderhelm Lawachurl: It can enter an infused state when it generates its Electro shield.
- Maguu Kenki: In its phantom stage, it can infuse its attacks with Anemo and Cryo.
- Kairagi: Dancing Thunder: Their swords can be infused with Electro.
- Kairagi: Fiery Might: Their swords can be infused with Pyro.
Enemies can also be infused with special auras from Infusion Stones or more generally Elemental Nodes, giving them buffs in battle.
Notes
- Usually with Elemental Infusions, Physical Damage will be converted to Elemental Damage, so physical damage bonuses will not apply to the elemental attacks. Instead, the corresponding elemental damage bonus will be applied.
- Tartaglia's Elemental Skill is somewhat different from other infusions as it also involves a stance change, but this still converts his attacks to Hydro damage.
- Razor's Elemental Burst is not an infusion, but adds Electro damage on top of Razor's physical damage.
- Elemental Infusions provide a way to deal consistent elemental damage, which can be useful for destroying the shields on Abyss Lectors and Abyss Heralds. For example, one can use Chongyun's infusion to deal constant Cryo damage to the Hydro Abyss Herald's shield.
- Elemental Infusions differ from Elemental Absorption in that:
- Absorption usually refers to an Anemo construct absorbing one of Cryo/Electro/Hydro/Pyro from an external elemental source. Sometimes, it is said that the Anemo construct is infused with the element.
- Infusions usually infuse the user's weapon, and it can be any element, including Anemo (as for Xiao) and Geo (as for Noelle).
- The Viridescent Venerer 4-piece set uses the word "infused" to describe Anemo coming into contact with another element to trigger the Swirl reaction. However, this is different from both Elemental Infusion and Elemental Absorption.
- Elemental Infusion causes a character's Normal Attacks to deal elemental damage.
- Elemental Absorption refers to an Anemo construct absorbing Cryo/Electro/Hydro/Pyro and then dealing additional elemental damage corresponding to the element that was absorbed.
- An element that is "infused" in a Swirl reaction is the non-Anemo element involved in the reaction.
- Infusions are sometimes referred to using the term imbuement.
