Relay Stones and Genshin Impact’s Sparky Brain Teasers: A Shockingly Thorough Guide

Relay Stones 101: Your Crash Course in Conductivity
What do these Relay Stones do? They are crucial for transferring electro-energy. Discharge Stones release electricity, while Relay Stones move that energy. They connect the energy from A (Discharge Stone) to B (Cumulation Stone). Cumulation Stones need charging to complete circuits.
When you finish a puzzle by connecting electro energy to a Cumulation Stone, the Relay Stones disappear. Just like magic. But : Relay Stones aren’t the only conductors. You, enemies, or certain materials with Electro can also carry the energy. Handy, right?
