Each boss and enemy in Genshin Impact can resist damage, and using elemental reactions like Superconduct is the most effective way to reduce it.

Equipping artifact sets like the Viridescent Venerer also serves the purpose by decreasing the opponent’s elemental resistance.

Elemental reactions also boost the damage significantly. They largely depend on a character’s level, elemental mastery, and constellations. By keeping this in mind, players can always build the characters in a way that fits their role perfectly.
