Elemental Burst Optimization
To maximize Elemental Burst (EB) particles, follow these steps:
1. Hold Skill to charge your Elemental Burst.
2. Immediately press the skill button to release the Elemental Burst and generate more particles.
EB Particle Generation
This technique is particularly useful for characters with high Elemental Burst damage, such as Keqing with the Staff of Homa and Viridescent Venerer set.
Team Composition
For optimal results, pair your character with a team that can provide a consistent Elemental Reaction, such as:
- Keqing (Electro) with Xingqiu (Hydro)
- Keqing (Electro) with Barbara (Hydro)
To farm for EB particles, head to the Winds of the Dawn domain in the Chalk Prince Qixing area. This domain offers a high concentration of enemies that can trigger Elemental Reactions. EB Particle Count
The number of EB particles generated will depend on your character's level, Elemental Mastery (EM), and the number of Elemental Reactions triggered. Aim for an EM of at least 80 to maximize particle generation.
