Setting Your Pyro DPS Characters Ablaze: The Best Artifact Sets
Choosing the right artifact set can make a HUGE difference in how much damage your Pyro DPS characters deal! Here’s a breakdown of the best options for maximizing their firepower, along with tips for choosing the right set for your character:
The Big Three: The Core Sets for Maximum Damage
-
Crimson Witch of Flames (4-Piece): This set is THE go-to for most Pyro DPS characters. It increases Pyro damage by a whopping 15%, boosts your character’s damage against enemies affected by Pyro by 50%, and gives them a 10% chance to gain a 50% increase in their attack for 10 seconds whenever they use an elemental skill or burst. This set is all about raw Pyro damage and is fantastic for characters like Hu Tao, Diluc, and Klee.
-
Wanderer’s Troupe (2-Piece) + Crimson Witch of Flames (2-Piece): This combination is excellent for characters who primarily rely on their normal attacks, like Yoimiya. The Wanderer’s Troupe gives a 20% bonus to your character’s attack, and the Crimson Witch of Flames still provides that crucial 15% Pyro damage bonus.
-
Gladiator’s Finale (2-Piece) + Crimson Witch of Flames (2-Piece): Similar to Wanderer’s Troupe, this combination focuses on attack power. Gladiator’s Finale gives you another 18% attack bonus, making this set incredibly potent for characters like Diluc who rely on heavy hitting normal attacks.
Beyond the Big Three: Niche Options for Special Situations
-
Lavawalker (4-Piece): This set increases your Pyro damage by 35% and grants a 30% Hydro resistance bonus when you are affected by Hydro. This set shines when facing enemies that primarily deal Hydro damage, such as the Oceanid boss.
-
Shimenawa’s Reminiscence (4-Piece): This set offers a 18% attack boost and lets you consume a certain amount of energy to deal damage equal to 50% of your attack. This is great for characters with high energy recharge who can quickly trigger the effect, like Hu Tao.
-
Emblem of Severed Fate (4-Piece): This set increases your energy recharge and gives your burst damage a boost based on your energy recharge. This is excellent for characters like Yoimiya and Klee who can benefit from stronger burst damage, and who can utilize their burst more frequently with the added energy recharge.
Choosing the Right Set for Your Pyro DPS
-
Character Skillset: Consider how your character deals damage. Does their damage come primarily from their normal attacks? Their elemental skill? Or their burst? Choose a set that complements their strengths.
-
Team Composition: Think about your team’s strengths and weaknesses. Do you need more Pyro damage or a different kind of elemental reaction?
-
Specific Boss Fights: If you’re facing a specific boss, choose a set that will counter their attacks or enhance your character’s damage against them.
-
Don’t be Afraid to Experiment: There’s no single "best" set for every character. Try different sets and combinations to find what works best for you.
Remember: Artifacts are not one-size-fits-all! Experiment, adapt, and you’ll be able to unleash the full potential of your Pyro DPS characters. Happy farming!
