The short answer is “yes,” but character level is not the only determiner for elemental damage. Base damage, as well as HP and Defense, increases when you level a character. If you’re going for the most elemental damage, though, that’s a different story. You need to focus on “Elemental Mastery,” too. “Elemental Mastery” is a damage multiplier when creating elemental reactions or elemental chains like “Overload” and “Vaporize.” The damage multiplier depends on the Elemental Mastery of the character triggering the reaction and not necessarily the one who starts it. For example, if you use Amber’s fire arrows to trigger an “Overload” reaction, but she has level 10 arrows, she’ll deal level 10 damage plus Elemental Reaction damage. However, if she started the chain with Pyro attacks and you triggered an Elemental Reaction with a character who has high Elemental Mastery/Ascended, the resulting damage is exponentially higher. Keep in mind, too, that equipped weapons and artifacts can change your character’s damage output. If you use two pieces from the Wanderer’s Troup set, you’ll receive an increase in Elemental Mastery by 80. Wearing all four pieces of the set gives you a bonus of 35% more Charged Attack Damage if the character uses a Bow or Catalyst. Equipped weapons like the polearm Dragon’s Bane can also give you extra attack buffs. For example, if you use Dragon’s Bane, you get an extra 20% damage modifier against enemies affected by Pyro or Hydro effects.
