Overload (Pyro)
Overload occurs when a Pyro marked enemy is hit with Electro or vice versa, creating a small AoE instance of Pyro DMG which can potentially knock back enemies. Overload DMG is based off the Elemental Mastery and level of the character applying the second element.
Team compositions that focus on Overload can utilize Anemo characters to keep opponents grouped and/or a ranged On-Field DPS that does not have to remain close to enemies. However, Overload compositions are generally best in situations where enemies are immune to its knock back. This page covers Overload team compositions with a Pyro On-Field DPS.
