Aggravate Teams

Best Electro + Dendro Aggravate and Spread team comps

Last updated:

Aggravate teams pair Electro and Dendro to trigger Aggravate (when Electro hits Quickened enemies) or Spread (when Dendro hits Quickened enemies). These comps excel at fast rotations, strong single-target damage, and flexible slotting — you often only need one dedicated on-field DPS plus off-field Electro and Dendro applicators.

How It Works

Apply Dendro and Electro to the same enemy to create Quicken (and its aura variants). While Quicken is active, Electro attacks trigger Aggravate and Dendro attacks trigger Spread — both scale heavily with Elemental Mastery. Most meta Aggravate teams stack EM on the on-field DPS (Alhaitham, Cyno) and run Fischl, Nahida, or Raiden for consistent off-field triggers. Deepwood Memories on one Dendro unit and Gilded Dreams on EM carries are the standard artifact pairing.

Team Variants

Alhaitham Spread (most popular)

The benchmark Aggravate team in current meta. Alhaitham's mirrors apply rapid Dendro while Fischl's Oz and Nahida's Tri-Karma proc Spread and Aggravate off-field.

AlhaithamFischlNahidaKaedehara Kazuha

Rotation: Nahida Skill (hold) → Fischl Skill → Kazuha Skill/Burst → Alhaitham Skill → Burst → charged attacks to consume mirrors. Refresh Fischl Oz when it expires.

Best for: Spiral Abyss single-target, quickswap playstyle, players with Alhaitham or strong EM sword

Cyno Aggravate

Cyno stays on-field longer and drives Aggravate with sustained Electro during his burst window. Nahida applies Dendro off-field; Fischl or Beidou adds extra Electro procs.

CynoNahidaFischlZhongli

Rotation: Zhongli Skill → Nahida Skill/Burst → Fischl Skill → Cyno Skill → Burst → combo until burst ends. Reapply Nahida and Fischl before next Cyno burst.

Best for: Players with Cyno C0–C2, comfortable long on-field windows

Raiden Aggravate

Raiden acts as both Electro driver and burst DPS. Nahida or Dendro Traveler applies Quicken; Raiden's burst hits repeatedly for Aggravate damage.

Raiden ShogunNahidaKaedehara KazuhaBennett

Rotation: Bennett Burst → Kazuha Skill/Burst → Nahida Skill/Burst → Raiden Skill → Burst → auto until burst ends. Bennett buffs Raiden ATK; Kazuha groups and shreds.

Best for: Raiden owners who also have Nahida; strong AoE in grouped content

Tighnari Quickswap Aggravate

Tighnari fires charged shots for Spread damage in a low-field-time rotation. Works well with Fischl and an EM-focused support roster.

TighnariFischlNahidaZhongli

Rotation: Zhongli Skill → Nahida Skill → Fischl Skill → Tighnari Skill → 3 charged shots → Burst. Swap off quickly; let Oz and Tri-Karma continue procs.

Best for: Tighnari mains, ranged playstyle, boss fights

F2P / budget Aggravate

Dendro Traveler + Fischl + Lisa or Kuki covers Quicken without 5★ Dendro. Xingqiu or Sucrose flex for grouping or survivability.

FischlXingqiuKuki ShinobuCollei

Rotation: Collei Skill/Burst → Fischl Skill → Kuki Skill → stay on Kuki or Fischl to trigger Aggravate. Use Dendro Traveler instead of Collei if built with EM.

Best for: Early Sumeru roster, no Nahida or Alhaitham

Strengths

  • High single-target and AoE with low energy requirements
  • Fischl and Nahida provide persistent off-field damage
  • Kazuha groups enemies and buffs team EM
  • Flexible — many Electro and Dendro units slot in without rebuilding the whole team
  • Strong in both Spiral Abyss halves when built around EM

Weaknesses

  • Less effective against Dendro-resistant or high-Dendro-RES enemies
  • On-field DPS wants EM artifacts (Gilded Dreams, Deepwood 2pc combos)
  • Quicken uptime drops if rotations are slow or energy is mismanaged

Artifact & Stat Tips

Deepwood Memories (4pc) on Nahida or another Dendro unit for 30% Dendro RES shred. Gilded Dreams (4pc) on Alhaitham or Cyno for EM and reaction DMG. Aim for 750–900+ EM on your main DPS and 180+ ER on burst-dependent supports. Fischl needs little investment — level her skill and slap on an EM or ATK set.

FAQ

What is the best Aggravate team in Genshin Impact?
Alhaitham + Fischl + Nahida + Kazuha is the most-used Spread/Aggravate team for Spiral Abyss. Cyno Aggravate and Raiden Aggravate are strong alternatives if you already main those characters.
What is the difference between Aggravate and Spread?
Both require Quicken on the enemy. Aggravate triggers when Electro hits a Quickened target; Spread triggers when Dendro hits a Quickened target. Most 'Aggravate teams' use both reactions in the same rotation.
Do Aggravate teams need Nahida?
Nahida is the best Dendro applicator but not mandatory. Dendro Traveler, Collei, or Baizhu can apply Dendro for budget Aggravate teams, though damage and uptime are lower.
What artifacts should I use for Aggravate?
Run Deepwood Memories on one Dendro character and Gilded Dreams on your EM-scaling DPS. Substats should prioritize EM, then CRIT for on-field carries and ER for burst supports.
Is Fischl required for Aggravate teams?
Fischl is not required but is the most efficient off-field Electro applier at low investment. Raiden, Kuki, Yae Miko, and Lisa can fill the Electro slot depending on your roster.
