Typically, players tend to prioritize ATK%, Elemental Damage, Crit Rate, & Crit DMG and ignore EM. With the release of Dendro, EM has become significant to the point that some meta builds have changed like Hyperbloom Raiden Shogun.

Some Sub-DPS That Utilize EM

Most Sub-DPS can utilize EM since they can trigger elemental reactions even when not on the field. Similar to the main DPS, build their Crit Rate/DMG and ATK then attain at least 100 to their EM for higher elemental reaction damage.

Priority For Anemo Supports

Some Anemo Supports That Utilize EM

Swirl damage scales with Elemental Mastery. If you are building an Anemo sub-DPS or support, it is recommended to focus on raising Elemental Mastery as much as possible. Since Swirl does not CRIT, you can prioritize Energy Recharge next to Elemental Mastery.

Priority For Dendro Characters

Dendro is the latest element that has been added to the game. This element leans toward Elemental Mastery more than ATK, even for DPS characters. The raw damage of Dendro could be low but the damage output from Dendro-related reactions could easily shred enemies' HP.

The superconduct explanation is utterly false. Change it immediately. Superconduct provides only 40% Physical res shred that does not scale off EM.

EM increases superconduct damage and trying to explain how the devs are wrong despite them having explicitly mentioned it in the game is immature.
