How to Collect Electro Crystals in Genshin Impact: A Comprehensive Guide

Genshin Impact is a world filled with collectibles and valuable resources, and Electro Crystals are no exception. These purple crystals gather electricity from the air and can be found all over Teyvat. However, collecting them can be a challenge due to their ability to inflict electro damage on players who get too close.

Understanding Electro Crystals

Electro Crystals are a unique resource that requires careful handling. When players approach them, they will receive electro damage for a period of time, making it essential to collect them strategically. The good news is that they can be found throughout Teyvat, making them an accessible resource to gather.

How to Farm Electro Crystals

To collect Electro Crystals safely, players should use a Pyro user in their group. Pyro Elemental ATK skills can break the crystals, allowing players to collect them without taking unnecessary damage. It's recommended to hit the crystals from a distance or use a powerful move to avoid electro damage.
