Let's put aside the shell of the two-dimensional open world and focus on the battle system of Genshin. I've played so many triple-A masterpieces, and it's not unusual to have elements and such settings. However, the 7 elements are used as the basis of the world view, and the elemental reaction is regarded as the core mechanism of the battle, and Genshin is estimated to be the first.
Elemental Reaction serves for battle, and its role is to weaken the values and emphasize the importance of lineup matching. For example, if there is no elemental reaction, then Genshin will be like Honkai 3, starting with a certain character (such as the queen) and inflating the value wildly, forcing old players to draw new cards.
With elemental reactions, characters are designed without overemphasizing numerical values, but on gameplay and mechanics – such as higher hanging element frequencies. For example, why did Xingqiu still not retreat from the environment after Yelan entered the pool? This is because, as a 4-star, Xingqiu's damage is naturally worse than that of 5 stars. However, the ability to hang water with full life is stronger than that of 0 life night lan.
A more classic example is Keqing, "strengthen Keqing" has been shouted for so many years, and the intensity has not changed much. As a result, after the grass reaction went online, with the help of thunder grass to intensify the new reaction, the intensity of Keqing was overnight from the downstream of T2 to the upstream of T1. It can be seen that elemental reactions, as the most core mechanism of the combat system, will greatly affect the strength of the character.
The problem is, there are so many types of elemental reactions, there must be good ones that work and those that don't. Here I will tell you that there are 3 element reactions that can be called "design failures", all of them are chicken ribs, and they are basically not used in actual combat, and it is recommended to plan to delete and redo.
1. Superconductivity, after the contact between the ice element and the thunder element, it causes ice element range damage, and reduces the physical resistance by 40% for 12 seconds. Of all the elemental reactions, superconductivity may bring the highest benefit, and it is very easy to trigger, which is a kind of compensation for physical C. However, this game is serious physics C, only Reiser and Yura.
Superconductivity only reduces material resistance, which is equivalent to eliminating the possibility of matching thunder and ice. If it is changed to thunder and ice to reduce resistance by 20%, and physical attributes to reduce resistance by 40%, superconductivity will not be so chicken, and Qiqi will not be completely without "employment environment" - to be honest, reducing resistance by 20%, compared with Bennett, which can provide 1000 attack power buffs, is simply a drop in the bucket.
2. Crushed ice, when the water element and the ice element come into contact, causing a freezing effect, with a "tough" attack such as a big sword/rock element, hitting an enemy in the frozen state, it will break the freeze and cause physical damage. Crushed ice is only related to resistance, level, and elemental mastery, and does not eat double storms and increase damage multiplication areas. Crushed ice can be understood as a 3-element reaction, which is not only very complex in the triggering method, but also very chicken.
The mainstream gameplay of the current version of the ice main C is basically permafrost - after all, the 40% critical strike rate given by the ice set is too fragrant. In addition, compared with the little fur damage caused by crushed ice, controlling the monster is more profitable. Therefore, crushed ice is basically a negative feedback, even if it is deleted, there is no problem.
3. Crystals, when the rock element comes into contact with the water/fire/thunder/ice element, the crystals of the corresponding elements will be dropped, and the shield of the corresponding elements will be generated when picked up. It should be noted that this is the only elemental reaction that the rock character can hit except for broken ice, and it is a pure survival reaction that cannot increase damage. So the question is, as a "survival reaction", why is the crystallization reaction chicken ribs? This is mainly because it has 3 major shortcomings in real combat.
First of all, the crystal shield is only related to elemental mastery and character level, and none of the characters in the rock system need to be proficient in the elements. With a mastery of 0 and a character level of 90, the base shield of the crystallized shield is only 1851, which is as brittle as paper. Second, the crystals fell to the ground and needed to be picked up by running over, and it was a waste of time to move for this shield. Finally, picking up multiple crystalline shields will not stack the amount of shields, but can only be refreshed, at most slightly improving the ability to resist interruptions.
The above 3 element reactions, all of which can be called "failures", are estimated to be redone. My view is that crushed ice should increase the base damage value, superconductivity should be changed to thunder and ice reduction, and crystallization should be changed to trigger the same as diffusion to take effect. What are your suggestions for modifying the reaction of the three elements of ice crushing, superconductivity and crystallization? Welcome to share in the comment area.
