Genshin Impact 6.7 Stellar-Conduct Guide: How Polestar Field & Radiance Actually Work

Quick Answer

Stellar-Conduct is a Cryo + Electro battlefield system introduced in Version 6.7 that transforms Superconduct into a layered combat mechanic built around Polestar Fields, Radiance states, and periodic damage cycles.

  • Requires a Stellar Linchpin character (Sandrone in current systems)
  • Creates a Polestar Field combat zone
  • Activates Radiance character state modifications
  • Deals periodic, cycle-based damage instead of instant reaction hits
  • Enhances Cryo and Electro damage while reducing Physical RES

๐Ÿ‘‰ Simple explanation: Stellar-Conduct turns Cryo + Electro into a sustained battlefield system, not a single reaction.

The graphic features a central glowing circular Polestar Field with Cryo and Electro effects, step-by-step trigger rotations, a Superconduct vs Stellar-Conduct comparison matrix, Radiance state modifications, Sandrone's Decoding Power gauge, and best early meta teams like Sandrone, Yae Miko, and Diona.


⚙️ What Is Stellar-Conduct?

Stellar-Conduct is not a traditional elemental reaction like Melt or Vaporize.

Instead, it is a battlefield transformation system that activates when Cryo and Electro interact while a Stellar Linchpin character is present in the team.

Once triggered, it creates a persistent combat loop:

  • A Polestar Field is generated
  • Elemental hits are tracked continuously
  • Buffs scale based on sustained Cryo/Electro application
  • Damage is released in timed cycles

๐Ÿ‘‰ This turns Cryo + Electro into an evolving combat environment.


❗ Does Stellar-Conduct Replace Superconduct?

No.

Feature Superconduct Stellar-Conduct
Type Single reaction Battlefield system
Damage Instant Periodic (cycle-based)
Utility Physical RES shred Field buffs + scaling system
Gameplay Simple trigger Sustained loop mechanic

๐Ÿง  Key Insight

Superconduct still exists as a baseline reaction.

Stellar-Conduct upgrades it into a layered combat system, not a replacement.


⚙️ How to Trigger Stellar-Conduct (6.7 System)

Stellar-Conduct does NOT activate from elements alone.

It requires a team condition + elemental interaction loop.


๐Ÿงฉ Step 1 — Build a Compatible Team

You must include a Stellar Linchpin enabler (currently Sandrone).

Without one:

  • Cryo + Electro = normal Superconduct only

⚡ Step 2 — Apply Cryo + Electro

Maintain consistent elemental uptime.

Key rules:

  • Multi-hit application increases system efficiency
  • Burst-only rotations reduce field stability

๐ŸŒŒ Step 3 — Activation Trigger

When conditions are met:

  • Superconduct converts into Stellar-Conduct
  • A Starlight Prism appears
  • The Polestar Field is created

๐ŸŒ€ Step 4 — Polestar Field Begins

Inside the field:

  • Cryo/Electro hits are recorded
  • Buff scaling begins accumulating
  • Physical RES of enemies is reduced
  • Radiance state modifications activate

๐Ÿ” Step 5 — Sustain the Cycle

Maintain:

  • Cryo uptime
  • Electro uptime
  • Field positioning
  • Rotation consistency

๐ŸŒŒ Polestar Field Explained (Core System)

The Polestar Field is the central engine of Stellar-Conduct.

It does NOT deal constant damage.

Instead, it functions as a 4-second cycle system:


⏱️ The 4-Second Rule 

Every 4 seconds, the field:

  • Converts stored Cryo/Electro interactions into damage bursts
  • Recalculates Stellar-Conduct scaling
  • Refreshes Radiance-based buffs
  • Resets accumulation for the next cycle

⚡ What the Field Does

  • Converts elemental hits into periodic damage
  • Buffs Cryo and Electro damage
  • Reduces Physical RES
  • Enables Radiance effects
  • Amplifies team synergy over time

๐Ÿง  Key Insight

The Polestar Field rewards hit frequency and uptime, not burst damage.


๐Ÿง  Radiance: Stellar-Conduct State

Radiance is a kit modification system, not a simple buff.

When inside the Polestar Field:

  • Character abilities gain alternate scaling paths
  • Additional attack instances may trigger
  • Support abilities gain enhanced effects
  • New Stellar-Conduct interactions become available

Example Effects:

  • extra coordinated attacks
  • improved Cryo/Electro application
  • bonus damage conversions
  • enhanced skill modifiers

๐Ÿ‘‰ Radiance is what makes older characters feel reworked.


⚙️ Sandrone & System Control (Core Enabler)

Sandrone acts as the Stellar Linchpin system controller.

Her role includes:

  • Converting Superconduct into Stellar-Conduct
  • Maintaining field consistency
  • Scaling damage via interaction frequency

๐Ÿ”‹ Decoding Power System 

Sandrone’s system includes a Decoding Power gauge:

  • Generated by Elemental Skill usage
  • Drained during continuous combat
  • Stabilized through Cryo/Electro uptime

⚠️ Important Threshold Logic

  • High Decoding Power = optimal output
  • Low Decoding Power = reduced efficiency
  • Overload state = slower attack cadence

๐Ÿ‘‰ Proper management directly impacts DPS stability.


๐Ÿ”„ Combat Loop (How You Actually Play It)

Team Setup

Cryo + Electro applied

Stellar-Conduct activates

Polestar Field appears

Radiance triggers

Field accumulates elemental hits

⏱️ Every 4 seconds → damage burst release

Repeat rotation


⚡ Why Stellar-Conduct Feels Different

Traditional reactions:

Trigger → damage → end

Stellar-Conduct:

Maintain → accumulate → release → sustain

It rewards:

  • uptime over burst
  • multi-hit synergy
  • positioning control
  • rotation consistency

๐ŸงŠ Does Elemental Mastery Matter?

✔ EM helps with:

  • reaction efficiency
  • support scaling
  • partial Radiance interactions

❗ But:

  • EM is not the only scaling stat
  • ATK/Crit still matters for DPS units
  • uptime is equally important

⚠️ Why Stellar-Conduct May Not Activate

❌ Missing Enabler

No Stellar Linchpin = no system activation

❌ Low Elemental Uptime

Weak Cryo/Electro application reduces field scaling

❌ Leaving the Field

You lose:

  • Radiance buffs
  • cycle damage
  • scaling conversions

❌ Burst-Only Gameplay

System is built for sustained uptime


๐Ÿงช Best Early Stellar-Conduct Teams (6.7)


๐Ÿ”ฅ Premium Team

Sandrone + Yae Miko + Diona + Anemo

  • strong Electro uptime
  • consistent Cryo application
  • stable field cycles

๐ŸงŠ F2P-Friendly Team

Lisa + Kaeya + Diona + Anemo

⚠️ Note: This team provides stable Cryo/Electro uptime, but still requires a Stellar Linchpin enabler (Sandrone or future free units) to fully activate Stellar-Conduct mechanics.


⚔️ Burst Hybrid Team

Cyno + Fischl + Cryo Support + Shield

  • sustained DPS scaling
  • strong Electro uptime
  • Radiance synergy

๐Ÿ“Š Is Stellar-Conduct Meta?

Yes — but evolving.

Current limitations:

  • few enablers
  • early roster depth
  • expanding synergy pool

Future growth depends on:

  • more Stellar Linchpin characters
  • Radiance-expanding kits
  • field-based combat archetypes

๐Ÿ” Why Stellar-Conduct Is Trending

Players are searching because of confusion around:

  • how to trigger Stellar-Conduct
  • why Cryo + Electro alone doesn’t work
  • what Polestar Field actually does
  • how Sandrone enables Superconduct conversion
  • whether it replaces older reactions

❓ FAQ

Does Stellar-Conduct replace Superconduct?

No. It expands it into a layered system.

Can Stellar-Conduct crit?

Yes — character-based Stellar-Conduct damage can crit.

Why isn’t Stellar-Conduct activating?

Usually:

  • missing enabler
  • low elemental uptime
  • incorrect rotation
  • leaving Polestar Field

Does EM increase Stellar-Conduct damage?

Partially. It contributes, but is not the only scaling factor.

Is Stellar-Conduct good for Spiral Abyss?

Yes — especially in sustained encounters.


๐Ÿง  Final Summary

Stellar-Conduct is not a reaction.

It is a battlefield system built around Cryo + Electro synergy, centered on:

  • Polestar Field uptime (4-second cycles)
  • Radiance character modification states
  • sustained elemental pressure
  • system-based damage scaling

๐Ÿ‘‰ Core Rule:

If elemental pressure stops, the entire system collapses.
