Buffer / Debuffer

Buffers and Debuffers are supports that directly boost the damage of your characters with their Elemental Skills and/or Elemental Bursts. Many of these abilities also have other effects other than buffing or debuffing such as providing healing, Crowd Control, shielding, and so on.

The boost to your damage can come in the form of either increasing the stats of your characters (buffing) or decreasing the stats of your enemies (debuffing).

Depending on the characters you use, different character stats can be buffed or different enemy stats can be debuffed. Some characters gain the ability to buff or debuff through constellations.

The current character stats that can be buffed by characters include:

• Elemental DMG

• Elemental Mastery

• Physical DMG

• ATK

• CRIT DMG

• CRIT Rate

• Ability Cool Down Time

• ATK SPD

The current enemy stats that can be debuffed by characters include:

• Elemental RES

• Physical RES

• DEF

Some artifact sets have set bonuses that can allow characters to become Buffers or Debuffers. For example, Viridescent Venerer's 4-set bonus allows Anemo characters to reduce enemy Elemental RES to the Swirled element.

Some weapons have the ability to buff the team. For example, Freedom-Sworn can increase the team's Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attack DMG by 16% and ATK by 20%.

The Superconduct Elemental Reaction (Cryo + Electro) is the only reaction that innately debuffs enemies. Superconduct reduces an enemy's Physical RES by 40% for 12 seconds, making it a necessity for any team using a Physical On-Field DPS.
