Changes: Elemental Node

Elemental Nodes and related objects are objects that imbue nearby enemies with elemental buffs. They appear in certain Domains and some parts of the Teyvat overworld. They can appear in domains that do not have Ley Line Disorders like Floor 12 of the Version 1.5 Spiral Abyss, and they have somewhat different effects from Auras. Unlike Elemental Nodes, Infusion Stones can be broken.

Elemental Nodes usually start in a closed state, and when the challenge starts, they open up and pulse periodically, buffing enemies within range.

Buffs

Nodes pulse once every 15 seconds, buffing all enemies in range:^[1]

• Un-buffed enemies gain 3.6 gauge units of the node's element.
  • Unlike elemental gauges applied by characters' talents and most other elemental sources, the gauge from the node's buff does not decay over time and instead lasts until depleted by Elemental Reactions.
  • The pulse will trigger an Elemental Reaction first if the enemy already has an elemental gauge of a different element.
  • Corresponding elements which are not from nodes do not affect the buff, whether before or during buffing.
• Buffed enemies gain an additional 1.2 gauge units.
  • The max available gauge of this buff is 3.6 units.
• Once an enemy's buff gauge is fully depleted, the enemy cannot regain the buff in the next 2 pulses.

Until the Elemental Gauge is depleted, enemies will gain 50% RES to all damage types along with an additional 50% RES to the node's element. They will also gain increased Interruption Resistance with a hyperarmor multiplier of 0.01 and another bonus based on the node's element:^[1]

• Cryo: +100% DEF
  • This DEF increase is additive with other DEF modifiers (such as DEF reduction talents from characters).
  • For example, if the enemy is in the Cryo-enhanced state, and Razor uses his skill to reduce their DEF by 15%, then the DEF of the enemy is multiplied by ${\displaystyle 2 - 0.15 = 1.85}$.

• Pyro: +40% ATK
  • This ATK increase is additive with other ATK modifiers.
  • For example, after the enemy gets the Pyro-enhanced state, Diona uses her 4th Ascension Passive to reduce their ATK by 10%, and the ATK of the enemy is multiplied by ${\displaystyle 1 + 0.4 - 0.10 = 1.3}$.

• Electro: +50% Cooldown Reduction
  • This effect can be observed on some enemies such as Electro Cicin Mages, increasing the rate at which they are able to use their Supercharged Shield attack, but it is not yet known exactly which other enemies and attacks it affects.

Other Types

Other forms of Elemental Nodes exist around Teyvat. Unlike regular Elemental Nodes, their buffs can be deactivated at the source through varying methods.

Infusion Stones

Infusion Stones buff enemies the same way as the Elemental Nodes in Domains, but the infusion stones are vulnerable to damage and can be destroyed to immediately remove their Auras and buffs from enemies.

The Mutation Stones in the event Energy Amplifier Initiation also greatly buffed the enemies' offense, defense, and Interruption Resistance. Like other infusion stones, they could be broken.

Pyro and Electro Infusion Stones are considered Geo Constructs and are weakest to Blunt Attacks. Cryo Infusion Stones are Cryo objects that are weakest to Pyro.

Enchanced Pneumousia Amplifiers

Enhanced Pneumousia Amplifiers are a type of clockwork meka that behave in the same way as Elemental Nodes, granting elemental buffs to nearby opponents. As a clockwork meka, Arkhe-aligned attacks of the opposite energy can be used to overload its systems and shut it down.
