Elemental Reactions are a combat mechanic in Genshin Impact. Elemental Reactions can be triggered using the 7 Elements in Genshin Impact, Anemo (Wind), Geo (Earth), Electro (Lightning), Dendro (Nature), Hydro (Water), Pyro (Fire) and Cryo (Frost).
When a Playable Character inflicts an Enemy with an Element, the Enemy gains a decaying aura of that Element, which can be combined with a new compatible Elemental Aura to lead to an Elemental Reaction. This mechanic can also be used on players and objects.

You can refer to the image above that is created by sunmilk which indicates the effects of combining elemental attacks. So for example, if you have a character such as Venti who uses an Anemo ability, you can quickly switch to a character such as Amber who has the vision of Pyro. This creates a whirlwind of flames around the enemy, and creates a Swirl reaction. Another example is combining Hydro with Electro, giving enemies the "Wet" aura and activating the Electro-Charged reaction if you follow up with an Electro based attack.
