How to Generate Elemental Infusions (Remnants)
Only several skills can generate Remnants for you to pick up. These Elemental Infusions last several seconds until you pick them up and stack your counter. You can have up to 20 stacks of Elemental Remnants at a time. Here are all the spells that generate this resource:
- Orb of Storms = generates Lightning Remnant
- Living Bomb = generates Fire Remnants
- Frost Bomb = generates Cold Remnants
- Snap (All Elements) = generates any Remnant
- Siphon Elements = generates any Remnant
- Harmonic Remnants II = generates any Remnant
- Heart of the Storm (Stormweaver Ascendancy) = generates any Remnant
- Scouring Winds (Stormweaver Ascendancy) = generates any Remnant
📌Note: Usage of skills that use Remnants only takes up one charge at a time.
Each stack of Elemental Remnant lasts for 20 seconds. Obtaining a new infusion of the same type of expiring stack resets the duration. One notable keystone that players should be wary of is Elemental Equilibrium because it causes your Infusion Remnants to be random.
