Hydro

Hydro is one of the seven Elements.

Its associated Archon was Focalors, whose domain was Fontaine.

Elemental Resonance

Having at least two Hydro characters in a party of four results in the Elemental Resonance:

Soothing Water: Affected by Pyro for 40% less time. Increases Max HP by 25%.

Elemental Reactions

Hydro has the following Elemental Reactions:

Electro-Charged: Deals Electro DMG and high Poise Damage over time to all nearby targets with the Wet status.
- Lunar-Charged: Creates a thundercloud that continuously deals Electro DMG to nearby enemies that are affected by both Hydro and Electro.
Frozen: Immobilizes the target and applies a Freeze Aura.
- Shatter: If the Frozen target is hit by a Blunt or Geo attack, deals Physical DMG and unfreezes the target.
Vaporize: Deals ×2 Hydro DMG when a Hydro attack triggers the reaction.
Swirl: Deals single-target Hydro DMG while spreading the Wet status to nearby enemies.
Crystallize: Creates a Hydro shard. Picking it up creates a Hydro Shield around the character.
- Lunar-Crystallize: Creates three Moondrifts nearby, which will resonate and unleash Moondrift Harmony after a certain number of Lunar-Crystallize reactions are triggered.
Bloom: Creates a Dendro Core that explodes after 6 seconds, dealing Dendro DMG.
- Lunar-Bloom: Grants the party 1 Verdant Dew every 2.5 seconds for 2.5s in addition to creating a Dendro Core.
- Hyperbloom: Triggered when applying Electro to a Dendro Core. Transforms the Dendro Core into a homing Sprawling Shot that deals increased Dendro DMG in a much smaller AoE.
- Burgeon: Triggered when applying Pyro to a Dendro Core. Detonates the Dendro Core immediately, dealing increased Dendro DMG.

Wet Status

Wet itself does not have any special effects; it is simply considered the application of Hydro. However, being affected by Wet allows Hydro Elemental Reactions to occur.

Any source of Hydro DMG will apply Wet. It will also be applied during rain and upon coming in contact with bodies of water.

The following Talents apply the Wet status to its user and/or the active character.

Trivia

Etymology

The name Hydro comes from the prefix for words related to water, "hydro-," which derives from the Ancient Greek prefix for words related to water (Ancient Greek: υδρο- ydro-) which in turn derives from the Ancient Greek word for water (Ancient Greek: ὕδωρ húdōr).

Notes

↑ The Hydro Archon's divine throne was destroyed along with Focalors during Chapter IV. As a result, there will be no further Hydro Archons. Neuvillette has taken up the affairs related with the title.
