What Is Overload?
Reaction When Electro & Pyro Is Applied Together
Overload is an explosive reaction that's produced when Pyro is applied to an Electro-afflicted enemy and vice versa. It does not matter which Element is applied first when it comes to this reaction.
An Explosion That Deals Blunt Damage
Overload creates an explosion that deals Blunt damage and affects enemies within a small AoE. It can also reduce the HP of certain shields like a Geo shield.
Damage Scales Off Elemental Mastery & Character Level
Overload's damage scales off both the Elemental Mastery and Character Level of the two characters that were part of the Overload reaction. You can see the damage in pink numbers that will show on the screen.
