A new technique called Dragon Strike has been in talks and people are interested to know about it. So, we have come up with this guide on how to use the new Dragon Strike Technique in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact- New Technique
The new technique- Dragon Strike allows players to plunge off enemies. This technique can be used to dodge enemy attacks and avoid serious damage. So, this technique uses the hit lag to work. So now you might be thinking, what is hit lag?
Hit lag is basically the delay between hitting your weapon on an enemy and the damage numbers popping up after the hit. It usually freezes your character for a minimal amount of time after your attack.
How to activate Dragon Strike?
To activate Dragon Strike, there are certain conditions that need to be fulfilled.
First, you need speed. And second, more Hit lag. So, let’s talk about these two conditions in detail.
Condition- Speed
To activate the Dragon Strike technique, you need tall characters like Diluc, Diona with double anemo buff(less stamina consumed). These characters run faster than others and have more speed.
Condition- Hit lag
Claymore attackers(Diluc) are best for the Dragon Strike technique as they are slow attackers. Slow means more hit lag which means more time to perform the Dragon Strike technique. However, you can also perform the technique with Xinyang and also with Keqing’s new technique- Pressing E twice and following up with Dragon Strike. Even Hutao can perform this technique under the right conditions.
A total of 40 % increased damage can be done by certain characters with Diluc being one of them.
Now comes the important part of performing the Dragon Strike technique.
- First, you need to master the timing of hitting your attack and dashing during the hit lag(before the damage number appears).
- Next, you need to practice the glide. For that, just press the dash and space button at the same time after attacking(during hit lag). If you see your character gliding after the dash, you are doing it right.
- Now, comes the attack part. After mastering the above two steps, all you need to do is press the attack button after you glide and you can hit the enemy with the Dragon Strike.
This technique requires a lot of practice as it heavily depends on timing. So, it is up to you to learn or simply give it up. But let us tell you that, it will be worth it if you know this technique. To understand better, you can watch this video by @TenTen.
