Dendro Reactions: A Guide to Finding the Best Artifact Sets
Dendro reactions are all the rage in Genshin Impact, and for good reason! They’re fun, powerful, and open up a whole new world of team compositions. But with so many artifact sets available, choosing the right ones for your Dendro team can be tricky. Let’s break it down!
1. The Core: Deepwood Memories
This 4-piece set is a must-have for any Dendro reaction team. It’s specifically designed to boost Dendro damage and lower the enemy’s Dendro resistance by 30%! This means your Dendro characters, like Nahida and Collei, will hit harder and enemies will be more vulnerable to their attacks.
2. For the Main DPS: Gilded Dreams
If your main damage dealer is a Dendro character, Gilded Dreams is your go-to. This 4-piece set increases Elemental Mastery by 80, and every time a character triggers a Dendro reaction, they gain a 14% bonus to their corresponding element’s damage for 8 seconds. It’s a powerful buff that amplifies both Dendro and other elemental reactions.
3. Supporting the Reaction: Deepwood Memories + Other Sets
Sometimes, you might want to focus on other elemental reactions, like Burning or Quicken. In this case, you can equip your off-field support characters with Deepwood Memories to decrease enemy Dendro resistance, and then pair it with another set to further enhance their element.
Here’s an example:
- Support Character: Kazuha
- Artifact Set: 2-piece Deepwood Memories + 2-piece Viridescent Venerer
- How it works: Kazuha’s Elemental Skill reduces enemy elemental resistance, including Dendro. He can then swirl with Anemo and trigger Quicken reactions, which will deal increased damage thanks to the Viridescent Venerer set.
4. Boosting Elemental Mastery:
For characters that focus heavily on Elemental Mastery, like Nahida and Kuki Shinobu, consider these sets:
- 2-piece Wanderer’s Troupe: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80.
- 2-piece Instructor: Increases Elemental Mastery by 80 and gives a 20% Elemental Damage bonus for the chosen element.
- 4-piece Emblem of Severed Fate: Increases Elemental Mastery by 200 and boosts the damage of the character’s Elemental Burst.
5. Building a Balanced Team:
Remember, choosing the right artifacts is just one piece of the puzzle. You’ll also need a well-balanced team with characters that complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses. For example, a Dendro team might include:
- Dendro Main DPS: Nahida, Collei, or a Dendro Traveler
- Dendro Support: Kuki Shinobu or Yaoyao
- Off-field Support: Kazuha for Swirl reactions, Xiangling for Pyro reactions, or Yae Miko for Electro reactions.
Final Thoughts:
Experimenting with different team compositions and artifact sets is key to finding what works best for you. With a little planning and effort, you can create a powerful and fun Dendro team that can conquer any challenge Genshin Impact throws your way. Good luck, traveler!
