Burning
Burning is the elemental reaction between Dendro and Pyro, dealing Pyro damage over time. Burning has some unique mechanics not found in other reactions:
- To trigger burning, Dendro must be applied first, then Pyro. If the reverse happens, Burning will not occur.
- Burning consumes Dendro while simultaneously applying more Pyro to an enemy. This tactic makes Burning useful as another source of Pyro for other reactions. But this doesn’t do much for the Burning archetypes.
- Similar to Frozen, although the Dendro aura icon disappears, Dendro reactions like Bloom, can still trigger alongside other Pyro reactions.
As it currently stands, there are no dedicated Burning units, making these archetypes struggle to produce strong results. But Burning is a great sub-reaction to add to any team.
Disclaimer
The example teams are not intended to be the best for that specific archetype. Some of them are strong, while others are just fun teams that will struggle in the highest levels of the Abyss. Some archetypes are weaker than others, as they don’t have a strong roster to draw from. But that doesn’t make them less enjoyable to play in the overworld.
We tried restricting each team to no more than two limited 5* units.
All the archetypes have multiple lineups that work. Use these guides to help you experiment with your own teams!
Burning
The basic Burning Archetype is extremely inclusive and can work with just about any Dendro or Pyro unit.

Firestone
The Geo unit can also hold Archaic Petra. This will increase the Pyro damage of the team. Use an on-field Pyro unit if you want to take advantage of this tactic.
