Genshin Prune talent priority

For Genshin Prune build, players must prioritize upgrading her elemental skill.

TalentPrune talent PriorityRecommended level
Normal Attack★ ★2+
Elemental Skill★ ★ ★ ★ ★10+
Elemental Burst★ ★ ★ ★  ★10+

Prune's mainly an off-field sub-DPS, so you can ignore her normal attack, unless you want to use her on-field as well. Instead of her normal, prioritize upgrading her elemental skill and elemental burst, as these are her main sources of damage. Doing so increases the damage multipliers of these attacks, which then translates to a higher damage output.
