Okay, let’s talk about the best artifact sets for building a Dendro support character in Genshin Impact! Since Dendro reactions are so powerful, we want to maximize the Elemental Mastery (EM) of our support.
Here’s a breakdown of the top contenders, with their strengths and weaknesses:
1. Deepwood Memories (4-Piece):
- The Go-To Choice: This set is pretty much the standard for Dendro supports. It provides a whopping 15% Dendro Damage Bonus AND increases your Elemental Mastery by 80 when you use an Elemental Skill.
- The Perfect Synergy: This bonus is specifically focused on amplifying your Dendro reactions. It’s a great way to make your team’s Quicken, Aggravate, Spread, and Burning reactions hit even harder.
- Where it Shines: Deepwood Memories works fantastically with characters like Nahida, Collei, and Yaoyao.
2. Gilded Dreams (4-Piece):
- The EM Powerhouse: This set is a powerhouse for EM! It provides a 14% Elemental Damage Bonus for your main DPS element AND increases your EM by 80 for your team.
- The Catch: The downside is that its effects are less focused on Dendro specifically. It’s great for boosting reactions in general, but not as specifically targeted as Deepwood Memories.
- Who Can Use It Well: Gilded Dreams works well with characters like Nahida, Collei, and Yaoyao (especially if you’re not using a strong Dendro DPS like Tighnari).
3. Wanderer’s Troupe (2-Piece):
- The Budget Option: If you’re still building your character up, this set is a decent starter. It provides a 20% Elemental Damage Bonus, which will give you a nice boost without requiring a full 4-piece set.
- The Compromise: It doesn’t give you the same EM boost as the other options. You can compensate by using more EM-focused substats on your artifacts.
- A Good Start: This set is okay for early game, but you’ll want to upgrade to Deepwood Memories or Gilded Dreams as you get more materials.
4. Flowering Ceremony (4-Piece):
- The Special Case: This set is interesting. It provides a 45% bonus to Dendro damage for one Dendro character on your team.
- The Challenge: However, it also increases the EM of other characters by 30%.
- The Verdict: It’s a bit niche. It’s excellent if you have a dedicated Dendro DPS who benefits from the 45% damage boost and you want to give your other team members a little EM boost.
Choosing the Right Set
Here’s a quick guide:
- Most Powerful: Deepwood Memories (4-Piece) for pure Dendro support focused on reactions.
- Powerful and Versatile: Gilded Dreams (4-Piece) if you need to increase the EM of your entire team.
- Early Game/Budget Option: Wanderer’s Troupe (2-Piece) until you can farm better sets.
- Unique Choice: Flowering Ceremony (4-Piece) if you have a specific Dendro DPS and want to boost their damage while also giving a bit of EM to other characters.
Ultimately, the best set for you depends on your specific team composition and playstyle. Experiment and see what works best! Good luck!
