What is the Burgeon Reaction?

Burgeon Elemental Reaction
Genshin - Burgeon Reaction
Effect Detonates the Dendro Core, dealing AoE Dendro damage

Burgeon is the reaction that happens when Dendro Cores created from Bloom are hit with Pyro. These cores then explodes and deals wide AoE Dendro damage.

The damage of the Burgeon reaction depends on the Elemental Mastery of the Pyro character who triggered it. The damage could also be enchanced through certain effects that increase Burgeon damage.

How to Trigger Burgeon

Trigger Bloom First

Burgeon is the immediate reaction when Pyro hits a Dendro Core from a Bloom Reaction, and not an Enemy with Dendro, as this would cause the Burning Reaction than a Burgeon.

Bloom Elemental Reaction
Genshin - Bloom Reaction Guide
Effect Creates a Dendro Core
Order Any

You can tell if a Bloom reaction occured through the presence of Dendro Cores near the enemy, this would look like green seeds that would explode after a set amount of time.

Hit the Dendro Cores with Pyro

Before the Dendro Core explodes, immediately apply Pyro! As Burgeon relies on that few seconds before Dendro Cores detonate naturally,also make sure that the Dendro Cores are not touched by any other elements.

The explosion dealt by Burgeon scales on the triggering Pyro Character's Elemental Mastery, so be sure to have them at the ready.

Best Characters for Burgeon

Thoma

Our favorite housekeeper of the Kamisato Clan might not have the best reception during his release, but with the introduction of the Dendro Element, his viability is now unlocked through Burgeon teams.

Due to his AoE Pyro application during his Elemental Burst, he can reliably cover any nearby Dendro Cores for Burgeon. He can also consistently trigger Burgeon through the ticks of his Elemental Burst and his Elemental Skill.

Xingqiu

Being one of the most used 4-Stars in the game, it should be no surprise that Xingqiu is one of the best units for a Burgeon team.

With his consistent Hydro application, he can effectively create Dendro Cores to any Dendro-afflicted enemies. He can also additional damage support through his Elemental Burst.

When to Use Xingqiu in Burgeon

Nahida

The Dendro Archon Nahida excels in applying Dendro, paving several possibilities of Dendro application. She is the best picks for the Dendro requirement in Burgeon teams.

With her Tri-Karma Purification, she can effectively apply Dendro to any marked enemy regardless of number. With this she can effectively create all the necessary Dendro Blooms for your Burgeon trigger to detonate.

When to use Nahida in Burgeon

Nahida Rating and Best Builds

Best Teams for Burgeon

Ayato-Thoma Burgeon Team Comp

Genshin - Ayato Ayato Genshin - Thoma Thoma Genshin - Nahida Nahida Genshin - Baizhu Baizhu

Ayato and Thoma can finally synergize with each other through a Burgeon team. Ayato can serve as the team's Hydro applicator and Main-DPS. Making sure that any enemies not cleared by Thoma's Burgeon can be effectively cleared off.

Nahida and Baizhu can offer additional support to the Kamisato duo, Nahida can apply Dendro easily while Baizhu can keep the team from taking in too much damage.

Alhaitham Burgeon

Main DPS Sub-DPS Sub-DPS Support
Genshin - Alhaitham Alhaitham Genshin - Thoma Thoma Genshin - Xingqiu Xingqiu Genshin - Nahida Nahida

Players can also use Alhaitham in a Burgeon team, as the scholar can both deal impressive Dendro damage and apply the necessary Dendro status on enemies to trigger bloom for Burgeon.
