The Night Spirit's Blessing and Phlogiston in Genshin Impact are game mechanics unique to characters from Natlan. They will come in handy both in solving the puzzles of this region and in battles with local mobs. In this guide, we will look at how to activate the Night Spirit's Blessing, what effects it gives and how to use them. We will also tell you what phlogiston is used for.
How to activate the Night Spirit's Blessing
As we mentioned, only heroes from the Pyro region can activate this mechanic, mostly through an elemental skill and, in some cases, through passive talents and artifact sets.
What the Night Spirit's Blessing Looks Like
After activating the mechanic, a special indicator similar to a stamina bar appears next to the character. It displays the amount of Night Spirit points. You can restore points by activating the heroes' passive talents.
Night Spirit Blessing Effects
Night Spirit Outburst
If there is a Natlan character in the party, the Flash activates after any of the team members deals elemental damage. Some new artifacts and character talents have the same effect.
Night Spirit's Flash has a certain cooldown, depending on the number of Natlan heroes in the team: if there are 1/2/3 heroes from the Pyro region in the party, the Flash cooldown lasts 18/12/9 sec. respectively.
The Flash enhances the combat abilities of the heroes and provides special abilities. As an example, let's consider the first available characters in the region – Kachina and Mualani. The latter, after activating the Flash, receives an increase in the damage of the ult depending on the max HP. Kachina receives a bonus to Geo damage.
Transfer of the Night Spirit
The mechanics are related to movement around the world. You can activate it, for example, during sprinting/swimming/flying, by switching from any member of the squad to the hero from Natlan when the latter's avatar is highlighted.
Transferring the Night Spirit grants characters special means of movement: for example, Mualani gets a surf shark to move on the surface of the water, Kachina gets a Turbo Vortex that helps in attacks and fast movement on any surface, and Kinich can cling to the air and jump in any direction. The effect for each character is described in a separate talent, Gift of the Realm of the Night.
The gifs above show examples of Mualani and Kachina moving when using this mechanic. We recommend that you definitely activate it for faster movement around the game world.
Phlogiston
Phlogiston is a special energy that is needed to extend the duration of the Blessing and to activate the Night Spirit Transfer. It is displayed as a glowing orange bar above your HP and is consumed when you run out of Night Spirit points.
To obtain Phlogiston, you can use the following Natlan world features:
- Blaze Seed
- Phlogiston Seeds
- Candlesticks and Flame Grenades
- Crystal Beetles and Crystal Pyro Butterflies
- Phlogiston Rock Piles and Phlogiston Powder Kegs
- Teleporters and Archon Statues in Natlan
Let's add that you can also use phlogiston flows to move faster around Natlan locations without spending your own stamina on it. The gif below shows an example of such movement.
We hope that our guide helped you understand what the Night Spirit and Phlogiston are in Natlan in Genshin Impact.
