Lunar-Bloom Reaction

Under certain conditions, when Hydro meets Dendro, generates a Dendro Core and applies Verdant Dew to characters. Certain characters can consume Verdant Dew.

  • Dendro Core DMG is not Lunar Bloom!
  • Lunar Bloom only consists of direct DMG!
  • Currently the only Lunar Bloom DMG is Lauma Hold E and Lauma C6

Lunar Bloom

It generates unique Lunar Dendro Cores. These cores:

  • Ignore enemy DEF
  • Can trigger CRIT Hits (scales with the active character's CRIT Rate/DMG)

The Lunar-Bloom reaction has sparked intense discussion due to its DEF-ignoring and CRIT-enabling mechanics. Key player concerns include: Nahida C2 Synergy (Bloom CRITs) stacks additively with Lunar-Bloom CRIT mechanics.

Reaction Chaining:
Lunar-Bloom generates special Dendro Cores that:

  • Can trigger Hyperbloom/Burgeon
  • Gain +DMG% when Lunar-Bloom is triggered

Lunar-Bloom Reaction Mechanics Confirmed

Lunar Bloom

  1. Direct Damage Nature:
    • Lunar-Bloom deals direct DMG (not transformative).
    • Now Only Lauma's Hold E and C6 gain its direct DMG bonus.
  2. Traditional Bloom Team Buffs: Lauma's Support Capabilities:
    • Hold E: Applies Dendro RES Shred
    • Burst (Azure Hymn): Adds 460.8% of La'uma's EM to Dendro Core DMG
  3. Revised Dendro Core Formula:

Base Core DMG + (La'uma's EM × 460.8%)] × (1 + RES Reduction / 2) × 200%

Damage Calculation Example (1000 EM Lauma):

  • Base Core DMG: 5,632
  • EM Bonus: 1,000 × 4.608 = 4,608
  • RES Reduction (40%): (1 + 0.4/2) = 1.2x
  • Non-Crit: (5,632 + 4,608) × 1.2 × 2 = 24,576
  • Crit (70/180): 24,576 × (1 + 1.8) = 68,812

Critical Breakthrough:
Lunar-Bloom enables CRITs for ALL Bloom variants (Hyperbloom/Burgeon included) - a first in Dendro reactions.

What’s the difference between Lunar Bloom and Bloom?

Bloom is the base Hydro-Dendro reaction: it spawns a Dendro Core that explodes after 2 s for fixed Dendro DMG that can’t crit.

Lunar Bloom is Lauma’s exclusive upgrade: it creates a Lunar Core that detonates in 1.2 s, deals ~1.7× Bloom damage in an independent DMG multiplier that scales with EM and can crit, leaves a 2-second Lunar Eclipse field for extra Dendro DMG, and has a larger blast radius.

Old Character Buffs

Nahida

C2: The CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG of Lunar-Bloom DMG received are increased by 10% and 20% respectively.

Tighnari

C4: When Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft is unleashed, all nearby party members gain 60 Elemental Mastery for 8s. If the Fashioner's Tanglevine Shaft triggers a Burning, Bloom, Lunar-Bloom, Quicken, or Spread reaction, their Elemental Mastery will be further increased by 60. This latter case will also refresh the buff state's duration.

Nilou

C2: After characters affected by the Golden Chalice's Bounty deal Hydro DMG to an opponent, that opponent's Hydro RES will be decreased by 35% for 10s. After dealing Bloom DMG or Lunar-Bloom DMG to opponents, their Dendro RES will be decreased by 35% for 10s.

You need to have unlocked the "Court of Dancing Petals" Talent.

Neuvillette

C1: When Neuvillette takes the field, he will obtain 1 stack of Past Draconic Glories from the Passive Talent "Heir to the Ancient Sea's Authority." You must first unlock the Passive Talent "Heir to the Ancient Sea's Authority."

Additionally, his interruption resistance will be increased while using the Charged Attack Empowerment: Legal Evaluation and the Charged Attack: Equitable Judgment.

Collei

Talent 1: Floral Sidewinder

If one of your party members has triggered Burning, Quicken, Aggravate, Spread, Bloom, Hyperbloom, Lunar-Bloom, or Burgeon reactions before the Floral Ring returns, it will grant the character the Sprout effect upon return, which will continuously deal Dendro DMG equivalent to 40% of Collei's ATK to nearby opponents for 3s.

If another Sprout effect is triggered during its initial duration, the initial effect will be removed. DMG dealt by Sprout is considered Elemental Skill DMG.

Talent 2: The Languid Wood

When a character within the Cuilein-Anbar Zone triggers Burning, Quicken, Aggravate, Spread, Bloom, Hyperbloom, Lunar-Bloom, or Burgeon reactions, the Zone's duration will be increased by 1s.

A single Trump-Card Kitty can be extended this way by up to 3s.

Baizhu

Talent: All Things Are of the Earth

Characters who are healed by Seamless Shields will gain the Year of Verdant Favor effect: Each 1,000 Max HP that Baizhu possesses that does not exceed 50,000 will increase the Burning, Bloom, Hyperbloom, and Burgeon reaction DMG dealt by these characters by 2%, their Lunar-Bloom DMG by 0.7%, and the DMG Bonus provided by Aggravate and Spread by 0.8%. This effect lasts 6s.
