Anemo
Last updated 2026-08-14
Anemo is one of the seven Elements.
Its associated Archon is Barbatos, whose domain is Mondstadt.
Elemental Resonance
Having at least two Anemo characters in a party of four results in the Elemental Resonance:
- Impetuous Winds: Decreases Stamina Consumption by 15%. Increases Movement SPD by 10%. Shortens Skill CD by 5%.
Elemental Reactions
Anemo has the following Elemental Reaction:



Swirl: Deals Elemental DMG of the involved element while spreading the involved elemental status to nearby enemies.
Stellar Swirl: Creates a Stellar Vortex that explodes after a delay, dealing Cryo DMG. Triggering this reaction with a Stellar Vortex nearby will further increase the DMG dealt by it upon bursting.
Many Anemo characters and enemies also have the following abilities:
- Elemental Absorption: Absorbs Electro/Pyro/Hydro/Cryo and becomes infused with that element, dealing damage of that type. The absorbed element can trigger further reactions, including Swirl.
- Displacement (Crowd Control): The ability to displace mobs of entities by knocking them back or pulling them in. Many Anemo users especially have the ability to create Vacuum Fields that pull in enemies within a radius.
Anemo Status
Similar to the Geo, the Anemo status cannot be applied using elemental attacks. However, the ![]()
Anemo Hypostasis applies a long-lasting Anemo status to itself while its core is exposed, and unlike Persistent Geo on ![]()
Geo Hypostasis and Planet Befall — it can react with other elements to trigger Swirl.

Trivia
- In Genshin Impact's story, Anemo is the first element that the Traveler resonates with, and they are shown using Anemo in a cinematic cutscene in Ending Note, the final quest of the Prologue of the Archon Quests.
- In Genshin Impact's gameplay, players are forced to resonate their Traveler characters with the Statue of The Seven in Starfell Lake during Bird's Eye View in Act I of the Prologue, during which all parts of the map outside of a small part of Mondstadt are considered out of bounds. It is impossible to first resonate with a Statue of The Seven in any other nation or to progress past Bird's Eye View without unlocking any Statues of The Seven in Mondstadt, unless exploits or glitches are used.
Etymology
- The name Anemo comes from the prefix for words related to wind, "anemo-," which derives from the Ancient Greek word for wind (Ancient Greek: ἄνεμος ánemos).
