Energy recovery in Genshin Impact: how it works and what it gives

Energy recovery в Genshin impact is one of the main characteristics of the character and is responsible for the rate of energy gain to activate the ult. Beginners often underestimate this indicator, preferring "combat" stats. But experienced players are aware of its importance, since the lack of energy will not allow to effectively use the explosion of the elements, which can simply disrupt the rotation or significantly reduce the dps of both an individual character and the group as a whole.

The article explains how energy recovery works and what it gives, and provides recommendations for increasing this indicator.

How Energy Recovery Works in Genshin Impact

With a few exceptions, most of the energy comes from elemental particles and spheres, which give a well-defined value at 100% energy recovery. 100% is the base value for this parameter. Accordingly, the greater the indicator of this characteristic, the more energy is generated from particles and spheres.

What are elemental particles and spheres?

elemental particles - look like small colored balls that fly out of enemies and are drawn into the character. They can be obtained:

for using elemental skills;
for dealing 50% damage to normal enemies;
for killing ordinary enemies;
for every 25% damage dealt against elite enemies.

Elemental Orbs - look like larger particles and recover three times more energy. They can only be obtained by killing elite enemies.

Transition of particles into energy

The amount of energy that each particle of energy gives at 100% energy recovery:

Character	Neutral element particle (pure)	Particle of your element	Alien element particle
Active	2	3	1
Rest of the group	1.2	1.8	0.6

For elemental spheres the values from the table must be multiplied by 3.

Who Needs Energy Recovery in Genshin Impact

Absolutely needs to restore energy in one way or another every character, since the characteristic directly affects how often the hero can activate his ultimate ability. It happens that the need for this indicator is simply lower compared to some heroes. However, in one way or another, the restoration of energy is necessary for everyone.

Among the characters for whom this stat is especially important are:

Secondary dd-bursts: Xiangling, Xingqiu, Ye Lan etc. They need quite a bit of cooldown to play comfortably (because of the expensive ult) to activate their elemental bursts on cooldown.
Also support characters (Venti, Kazuha) and heals (Jean, Qi qi, Dione) require a lot of restoration. While their elemental blasts usually don't deal much damage, they are very useful to the group.
Heroes whose damage depends on this stat (Mona). Her third passive talent increases Hydro's damage bonus from energy regen. This can be partly attributed to Raiden, for which the characteristic is also important.
Characters with high ult cost: Yae Miko (90 units), Ayaka (80 units), Eola (80 units). Although it makes no sense to rely heavily on EP in this case, in its complete absence, it is worth forgetting about the activation of elemental explosions. So it is necessary to look for a balance in artifacts or a squad.

In most cases, ults basic dd deal quite a lot of damage or activate special effects. But since the squad is built around them, they get enough energy from various sources, so a lot of restoration is not required, but a certain minimum is still needed for a comfortable game.

How to Increase Energy Recovery in Genshin Impact

There are several ways to level up in the game. energy recovery... Let's consider them in more detail.

Artifacts

An extremely large percentage can be scored in the main and secondary characteristics of artifacts. True, in the main energy recovery maybe only hours.

As for set bonuses, in this case the situation is much more modest:

number	Name	Rarity	Passive Effects	Comment
1	Exile	⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 20%. 4 parts: Using an elemental explosion restores 2. energy to the rest of the squad (but not to the selected character) every 2 sec. within 6 sec. The effect cannot stack.	Pretty good support bonuses - in total fills 18 units. energy to allies for using the ult. But, unfortunately, the initially low rarity of the set (maximum 4 stars) does not compensate for this.
2	Scientist	⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 20%. 4 parts: Gaining Elemental Orbs or Motes restores 3. energy to squad members equipped with ranged weapons or a catalyst. Can occur every 3 seconds.	The problem, like the previous set, is the initially limited rarity of the set.
3	Emblem of Severed Fate	⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️	2 parts: Increases energy recovery rate by 20%. 4 parts: Increases elemental explosion damage by an amount equal to 25% of the amount of energy regeneration. The effect can be increased to a maximum of 75%.	This set is one of the most requested. It doesn't have the problems of the previous ones, and the full set bonus is considered very strong for all ults.

Separately, it is worth highlighting weapons favonia. At the moment, this line is considered the best support weapon for energy recovery.

Character bonuses

Also in the game there are ways to get energy bypassing the recovery parameter:

For example, Venti has a passive talent that, at the end of the ult, restores 15 units. energy to all team members.
Raiden Restores energy to the party each time it hits an enemy during Elemental Burst.

Batteries (Elemental Resonance)

Electro Resonance allows you to generate additional elemental particles, allowing you to accumulate energy faster. But this is just the obvious. In fact, any elemental resonance will allow a certain character to accumulate energy faster.

Consider the most common pair Xiao + Sucrose. By itself, Anemo resonance does not help replenish energy in any way. But if you use the Sucrose elemental skill and then quickly switch to Xiao, he will get all the Anemo particles and energy from them in full. In this case, sucrose acts as Batteries. Her task is to generate particles and give them to Xiao.

This method is suitable for characters of any element. But do not forget that there are characters that simply do not create particles (Noelle, qi qi).

Rise of Heroes

There are several characters in the game whose score is energy recovery rises with awakening. At the moment these include:

Recommended Energy Recovery Values

Elemental explosion cost	Main DD	Sub DD / Support
40	100%	140%
60	120%	180%
80	140%	220%

Energy Recovery Tips

Let's summarize in the form of tips:

When selecting elemental particles and spheres, regardless of who took them, energy will be received all members of the detachment, albeit not in full (see the table "Transition of particles into energy").
character on battlefield gets more energy. It is enough just to switch to the right hero in time and catch the particle.
particles of the same element, as the active character, give more energy.
Dealing certain damage and killing enemies generates neutral or pure particles, which will also replenish energy.
If the character dies, he loses all energy.

These tips are the basis for a quick and timely set of energy. It is also worth considering the change of character to select energy in their rotations.
