What is Genshin Impact Lunar-Charged Reaction?
Lunar-Charged is an exclusive elemental reaction that triggers when an enemy is affected by both Electro and Hydro elements, but only if Ineffa is in your party. Unlike traditional Electro-Charged reactions, Lunar-Charged summons a special thundercloud above opponents, dealing AoE Electro damage at specific intervals.
Think of it as Electro-Charged 2.0—same trigger conditions, but with a spectacular upgrade that makes your screen light up with continuous lightning strikes!
How Lunar-Charged Works: The Technical Breakdown
The magic happens through Ineffa’s passive skill called “Assemblage Hub,” which converts regular Electro-Charged into Lunar-Charged. Here’s what makes this reaction special:
- Creates thunderclouds that continuously strike enemies
- Triggers every 2 seconds, targeting enemies under both Hydro and Electro influence
- Can register critical hits and completely ignores enemy defense
- Scales with both Elemental Mastery and ATK stats
Lunar-Charged vs Regular Electro-Charged
| Aspect | Regular Electro-Charged | Lunar-Charged |
|---|---|---|
| Damage Type | Continuous DoT | Thundercloud bursts |
| Crit Potential | Cannot crit | Can crit |
| Defense | Affected by defense | Ignores defense |
| Visual Effect | Standard sparks | Epic thunderclouds |
| Requirement | Any Electro + Hydro | Requires Ineffa in party |
| Scaling | EM only | EM + ATK scaling |
Damage Scaling Formula
The base damage scales with Ineffa’s ATK at +0.7% per 100 ATK, capping at 14% maximum. The complete damage formula includes:
- Base Electro-Charged damage (EM scaling)
- Ineffa’s ATK bonus (up to 14% boost)
- Critical hit multipliers (unlike regular reactions)
- Elemental damage bonuses
Best Characters for Lunar-Charged Teams
Core Character: Ineffa
Ineffa is a 5-star Electro Polearm user who serves as Sub-DPS, with her talent converting Electro-Charged reactions into Lunar-Charged. Her Elemental Skill provides shields and applies continuous Electro through her summon Birgitta.
Optimal Team Compositions
Electro-Charged Focus:
- Ineffa (Enabler) + Kokomi (Hydro) + Fischl (Electro) + Kazuha (Support)
- Ineffa + Childe + Raiden Shogun + Bennett
Hyperbloom Hybrid:
- Ineffa + Xingqiu + Nahida + Flex Support
Maximizing Lunar-Charged Damage
Stat Priorities for Ineffa
- Elemental Mastery – Primary reaction scaling
- ATK% – Boosts Lunar-Charged base damage
- Crit Rate/Crit DMG – Since reactions can crit
- Energy Recharge – Maintaining burst uptime
Artifact Recommendations
- Gilded Dreams (4pc) – EM and ATK% boosts
- Thundering Fury (4pc) – Electro damage and skill cooldown
- Ocean-Hued Clam (4pc) – For Hydro supports
Strategic Combat Applications
Boss Fights: The thundercloud’s random lightning bursts provide consistent damage even when you can’t directly attack, making it perfect for mobile bosses.
Crowd Control: The AoE nature means multiple enemies under Electro-Charged effects all take thundercloud damage simultaneously.
Energy Management: Since it’s a passive effect once triggered, you can focus on rotations while the thundercloud handles continuous damage.
The Future of Electro-Hydro Teams
This reaction system clearly leaves intentional openings for expansion, with upcoming characters likely completing this framework. We’re probably looking at a new meta where Electro-Charged teams become as viable as Vaporize and Melt compositions.
The Lunar-Charged reaction represents Genshin’s commitment to refreshing older mechanics while maintaining the game’s strategic depth. Whether you’re a veteran player looking to revitalize your roster or a newcomer building your first Electro team, mastering this reaction will give you a significant edge in both exploration and endgame content.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need Ineffa at high constellation levels for Lunar-Charged to work effectively?
A: No! Lunar-Charged activation comes from Ineffa’s base passive talent, so even C0 Ineffa can trigger this reaction. Higher constellations improve her personal damage and team support, but the core mechanic works at C0.
Q: Can Lunar-Charged work with Transformative reactions like Hyperbloom?
A: Yes, but they don’t stack directly. The Lunar-Charged system uses independent multipliers and exclusive stacking mechanisms, so you can trigger both Hyperbloom and Lunar-Charged in the same rotation for maximum damage output.
