The Grana are small Elemental spirits that’d follow the players around in Genshin Impact. Each region has its own version of Grana, each with different unique properties. For example, the Grana in Mondstadt, the land of Anemo, is called Anemograna. The one in Liyue is called Geograna, and the one in Sumeru is known as Dendrograna.

Anemograna of Mondstadt has the ability to create a wind current once three of them are brought together. Meanwhile, Geograna of Liyue in Genshin Impact can be carried to various constructs to solve open-world puzzles. As for Inazuma’s Grana, the Electrograna serves as a key to use the Thunder Spheres, pass through a Thunder Barrier, protect players from the Balethunder, and provide minor buffs when carried.
