Hello travelers,
With dendro release there are lots of possibility in team building
and this was my attempt to experiment with some teams in the abyss
while usually I do a showcase of team damage
this time its more of analysis to how most dendro reaction perform with my character roster and what character I found are suited to which reaction

================================
Burning
With the current characters we have burning is not a reaction you would want to go for
it has very low multiplier and it misses your rotation
so don't bother with it
===================================
Bloom
Now when its Bloom reaction alone
again I don't think the current roster are good in triggering bloom reaction

Bloom need you to trigger the effect and wait till the core explode after few seconds which is a waste of time in end game content that usually are timed trails
Also even if you made multiple cores only some of them will explode and its programed to explode by the order of existence so the oldest will explode first and
if the enemy moved away from the core then you lose the damage
your hydro or anemo character need to be on full EM as bloom scale of character level and EM
and most hydro characters have long elemental skill cool down and high energy cost
also Bloom damage itself is not high to justify the set up
as you need to have mainly hydro dendro anemo in your party so not worth the it at the moment
======================================
Burgeon
Burgeon is a reaction that occur after applying pyro to a bloom core, the damage is a medium size aoe around the core, so again if the enemy moved away from the core then your set up is in vain
I initially failed to make a good burgeon team
cause most times you need a slow pyro applier and a healer as the reaction it self can hurt your on field character
currently the 2 pyro applier who have slow pyro application and can semi protect you from the self damage are Xinyan and Thoma
Xinyan Q can apply a level 3 shield that pulsate pyro when hitting multiple enemies meaning she can be good in aoe situation especially went pared with Kazuha, something to note that is that Xinyan shield scale of Def and as you are stacking EM and ER your shield will be weak so a healer is still needed

Thoma on the other hand is a good pyro applier for burgeon if your on filed character is a fast auto attacker and you have high constellation on Thoma
Thoma is a character that needs lots of energy to get his burst (the source of pyro) up at all time, so you will need to build ER and EM on him as the burgeon reaction need high EM to give good number and as Thoma shield scales of HP your shield might be weak in this build he is better than Xinyan in keeping you alive even with weak shield but still a healer is needed
As both my Xinyan and Thoma are not build and need specific situation to work I thought I will give up on Burgeon
till I found this team ![]()
SunFire Burgeon
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()

personally speaking I never liked Sunfire Jean Ayato teams before cause I did not know what to put on the last slot
now this might grow on me once I manage my ER need
This team abuse the continuous swirling pyro from Jean and Bennett burst to apply the pyro meanwhile your hydro character can make the bloom for your Jean to burgeon
I only have Ayato from the hydro 5 stars so I don't know if other hydro characters can do the same thing
in this team Jean would want to be on VV set full EM build and her level do matter to improve the burgeon damage
Me as always a pepega and thus did not use EM build on Jean so my burgeon damage was meh in my abyss experiment

but now I found a team that can use sunfire Jean and my Ayato finally can do some big damage

What if Jean was using full EM build
the burgeon damage would have been different
level 75 Jean with 140 EM burgeon damage 5012

level 75 Jean with 540 EM burgeon damage 13807

Rotation is like this
Ayato Q > Jean E (swirl hydro) > Bennett Q > Dendro MC EQ > Jean Q > Ayato E
Bennett Q before Dendro MC Q so that the flower will not on the spot!!
collei might be better as there is no risk of losing the dendro application but her application last only for a very short time
Im not sure if Kazuha can work in this team too
however do keep in mind that you need high ER on all units so the rotation will be smooth pther wise it will be a mix of Burgeon, burning, vaporize and no reaction
======================================
Now to my favorite dendro reaction
Hyperbloom

when applying electro to bloom you create a hominin missile that hit the enemy
thus it solve the previous bloom reaction drawbacks and your reaction will hit the enemy
its mainly a single target damage as hyperbloom aoe is very small but you still can do more than 1 hyper bloom with 1 electro attack
Kuki doing hyperbloom to 3 enemies at once

Both Collei and dendro MC can work in this team but dendro MC is better here as he apply dednro at a longer interval
For hydro units most off field hydro applier can do the job right as long as they have long off field hydro ability (Xingqiu, Yelan, Kokomi and Ayato are good user of the hydro slot)
lastly for the electro character, they need to be build with high or even full EM, as the hyperbloom damage is based on character level and EM
From the elctro characters Kuki and Raiden E can hit the bloom cores
meanwhile Fischl Beidou and Yae cant hit the core reliably however adding an anemo character like kazuha or sucrose can semi solve this issue and apply the electro on the cores and also solve the issue of who to build EM on as Sucrose, Kazuha and Venti are usually build with EM
In my abyss experiment I used Kuki hyperbloom with full EM Iron sting build and a semi leveled Gilded dream set
Kuki Hyperbloom team (https://www.hoyolab.com/article/7246087)

If you are asking regarding team 1 I think Raiden Hyepercarry will do much more than Agrravate Raiden Hypercarry
Kuki hyperbloom damage

I did not test Sucrose team in abyss but if anyone increased in trying it
its Sucrose (full EM VV set), Fischl, Dendro traveler and Xingqiu
this team don't have a healer so might be a little difficult to use however you can sacrifice some of Sucrose damage by switching the weapon to prototype amber can help in team survivability

================================
Spread and Aggravate
These are the core reactions for electro DPS (Aggravate) and Dendro DPS like Tighnari (Spread)
While I don't have Tighnari so I cant speak about Spread
My very first 4 and 5 stars where both electro Razor and Keqing so I have been an electro main at start and build lots of electro characters
And having finally a way to play Keqing without relaying on Bennett to boost her and it can also boost Fischl at the same time is great

Fischl was a very good character and now became an excellent sub DPS with aggravate
while Fischl was mainly used before for boosting or battery now she do so much damage through Aggravate that she now would want a fast electro triggering character to proc Fischl ascension 4 passive aggravate
She became the true carry but from off field and thus need a fast electro reaction triggering character to abuse her A4 passive
2 character who can do that are Keqing and Sucrose
both can trigger electro reactions and cause more aggravates
Keqing E without boost

Keqing E boosted

Fishcl E boosted

========================
Then lastly
I tried to experiment more with some weird teams
(KIDS DONT DO THAT AT HOME)
Fridge Bloom Kuki

The idea is to freeze as a mean to crowd control and let bloom or better hyperbloom do the job
Ideally Kaeya is better cryo applicator here than rosaria as his ult can follow the character around meanwhile Rosaria ult is statuary so not the best
but as you can see the bloom damage is low as Xingqiu is not build with full EM meanwhile Kuki who is build with EM do great damage


And the best (not best at all) for last
Thundering Fury EM Kazuha with Fischl aggravate team

Its good against aoe

but was a massive pain against single target

I will not try it again ![]()
=============================
Final thoughts
Dendro is fun and a refreshing way in team building
with current roster Aggravate, Spread (if you have Tighnari) and Hyperbloom can be added to the Meta
However it stand no chance against Freeze, Melt and Vaporize
Bloom, Fridge, Burning and Burgeon most likely will become meta in the future
However I'm doubtful on burning ever become meta
Thank you for reading this post and have a nice day
