About Basalt Pillar

Character Level-Up Material

A pillar formed by the shell of a Geo Hypostasis, composed of high-density Geo energy. It is a testament to Geo's status as the heaviest of the elements. Maybe the reason a Geo Hypostasis creates this pillar out of its shell and raises itself is just to get closer to the sky, not to combat enemies.

Where to obtain it

Dropped by Lv.30+ Geo Hypostases

Used by the supported upgrade goals listed below. Requirements depend on the selected current and target levels.

Characters and equipment that use this material

Geo★★★★★

Albedo

Released Dec 23, 2020Geo skill damage dealer whose long-lived field triggers DEF-scaling follow-up damage when opponents are hit.Guide

Albedo is a sword user whose Elemental Skill places a Geo construct that can repeatedly add AoE Geo damage when opponents take damage inside its field. Consider him when you want a skill-based damage source that can remain active while another character attacks. His burst adds a separate AoE hit and, if his own Solar Isotoma is present, seven additional blossoms. The burst also grants nearby party members Elemental Mastery for 10 seconds. His kit therefore offers a sustained skill effect plus a burst option, but the skill's follow-ups have a two-second trigger limit and depend on the field remaining useful.

Geo★★★★

Ningguang

Released Sep 28, 2020Geo catalyst attacker and utility character who gains Star Jades from normal attacks and fires them with charged attacks. Consider Ningguang when you want ranged Geo damage, a projectile-blocking screen, or ore-vein locations on the map.Guide

Ningguang’s normal-to-charged attack pattern converts Star Jades into extra damage, and her passive removes the charged attack’s stamina cost when she has any Star Jades. Her Jade Screen blocks opponents’ projectiles and can add projectiles to her burst when nearby.

Geo★★★★

Noelle

Released Sep 28, 2020Geo claymore fighter who gains a DEF-based shield, can heal through attacks while shielded, and converts her attacks to Geo with a DEF-based boost during her burst. Consider Noelle when you want personal damage and defensive utility together, particularly if you can use her normal or charged attacks to trigger healing.Guide

Noelle’s shield scales with DEF and has a chance to heal the whole party when her normal or charged attacks hit. Her burst enlarges her attack area and converts attacks to Geo while granting an ATK increase based on DEF. She can also provide an emergency shield while off field when a party member falls below the HP threshold.

Geo★★★★★

Zhongli

Released Dec 1, 2020Shield support and resistance debufferGuide

Zhongli’s held Elemental Skill creates a Jade Shield that absorbs Physical and Elemental damage and reduces nearby opponents’ resistances. His burst adds AoE Geo damage and brief petrification, while the Stone Stele can resonate with nearby Geo constructs.
