Phlogiston is a mechanic unique to Natlan that can be used in combat, in exploration, and as an energy source. It is an advanced form of Pyro and the original form of the seven elements in Teyvat[1]. It has various manifestations, including Liquid Phlogiston, Solid Phlogiston, Gaseous Phlogiston[2], and Spiritways.

Phlogiston carries deep spiritual significance to the people of Natlan, symbolizing their indomitable spirit.[3]

Overview[]

When Phlogiston is obtained, it fills the Phlogiston Meter, which is shared between all party members. It is consumed when in Nightsoul's Blessing state after all Nightsoul points are exhausted and when using various Saurian Indwelling abilities, including swimming in Liquid Phlogiston.

The player can possess a maximum of 100 Phlogiston, indicated above the HP bar. When indwelling a Saurian, the Saurian will have an extra Phlogiston storage of 50 points.

Phlogiston is not available in Domains.

Lore[]

Phlogiston is Teyvat's primordial form of energy and was used by the Heavenly Principles as a basis for the creation of Elemental Energy for the purpose of developing a power to better counter the Abyss. Elemental energy is considered the the modern counterpart to Phlogiston. It is probably synonymous with the concept of the "Light Realm" or "Vishap Realm".[4]
