In the world of Teyvat — where the seven elements flow and converge — anyone can be blessed with power from one of the Archons.

Elements and Archons
The Archons bestow some of their elemental power to mortals in the form of Visions. Visions are similar in appearance to glass pendant orbs, they allow the wielders to focus their mental energy so that they can use the elemental powers of the Archon that blessed them. Once given this power, the wielders are called "Allogenes".
There are seven powers that exist to discover in Teyvat, each with their respective Archons and their own region/city that worships said Archon.

Status Effects
Simply coming in contact with elements will cause the character, enemy, or object to be afflicted with an elemental status effect, some of which cause a debuff.
| Element | Effect |
|---|---|
 |
Reduces the target's movement speed. |
 |
Afflicting bodies of water with Electro will spread the status to nearby targets in the water and will usually cause the Electro-Charged elemental reaction since they are already Wet. |
 |
Causes target to become Wet, used for elemental reactions. |
 |
Causes small burning DoT (~3 damage per sec). |
Ley Line Disorders
The Hydro special effect, Slowing Water
Within the Spiral Abyss and certain Abyssal Domains, monsters or objects may have an aura that causes a harmful effect upon characters in its AoE.
- The effect can be momentarily dispelled by intentionally causing elemental reactions on the character. For example, abilities like Barbara's Let the Show Begin and Xingqiu's Guhua Sword - Fatal Rainscreen can apply the Hydro effect on the character.
- The aura will only affect the characters currently on the field.

Restrictions
- When using Co-op mode, if part of the party is in an Abyssal Domain the resonance will be determined by the characters that are in the domain and only characters in the domain will benefit from the bonuses.
- Demo characters that are available during Character Story Quests do not affect the resonance.
Trivia
- A spring fairy in the book Heart of Clear Springs (II) tells the tales of a faraway realm of Hydro, meaning that each element has its own realm.
