Unlocking the Power of the Green: Dendro DPS Artifact Guide
Dendro characters are a relatively new addition to Genshin Impact, but they’re quickly becoming a popular choice for both casual and hardcore players. Their unique elemental reactions and support capabilities make them a valuable asset to any team. But when it comes to building a Dendro DPS character, you’ll need the right artifacts to unleash their full potential.
The Foundation: 4-Piece Deepwood Memories
The first step towards a powerful Dendro DPS is the Deepwood Memories artifact set. This set grants the following bonuses:
- 2-Piece Bonus: Increases Dendro DMG by 15%.
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases Elemental DMG against enemies affected by Dendro by 30% and lowers their Dendro RES by 30% for 10 seconds.
This set is designed specifically for Dendro characters, providing both direct Dendro damage boost and a crucial element in maximizing reactions like Burning, Bloom, and Hyperbloom.
Amplifying the Damage: The Right Flower and Feather
The Flower of Life and Plume of Death artifacts are universal, so focus on getting those with the highest possible main stats:
- Flower of Life: HP%
- Plume of Death: ATK%
Maximize Your Attack: The Sands and Goblet
Here’s where things get interesting:
-
Sands of Eon: ATK% or Energy Recharge%
- ATK% is the more straightforward choice for pure DPS.
- Energy Recharge% is better if your character has a high energy cost or struggles to reach their burst often.
-
Goblet of Eonothem: Dendro DMG Bonus
This is the core of your Dendro DPS build. The Goblet provides a substantial increase in your character’s Dendro damage, making it a crucial piece of the puzzle.
Adding the Final Touches: The Circlet
- Circlet of Logos: Crit Rate% or Crit DMG%
- Crit Rate% is generally preferred for consistent damage.
- Crit DMG% is good if you have a high Crit Rate and want to maximize the damage of your critical hits.
Sub-Stats Matter: The Golden Rule
While main stats are crucial, sub-stats are equally important. Always prioritize the following:
- Crit Rate%
- Crit DMG%
- ATK%
- Elemental Mastery (for maximizing reaction damage)
- Energy Recharge% (if you need more energy for your burst)
Remember: The ideal artifact build will vary depending on the specific Dendro character you’re using and your overall team composition. Experiment and find what works best for your gameplay style.
Beyond the Basics:
- Elemental Mastery: While not a primary stat, it can be beneficial for some Dendro DPS builds, especially those focused on maximizing elemental reaction damage.
- Weapon Choice: Selecting the right weapon for your Dendro character is essential. Look for weapons that provide high base ATK, Crit stats, Dendro DMG Bonus, or Energy Recharge, depending on your character’s needs.
- Team Composition: Your team composition plays a significant role in maximizing your Dendro DPS. Consider using characters that can trigger powerful elemental reactions with your Dendro character, like Hydro for Bloom or Electro for Hyperbloom.
With the right artifacts, a well-rounded team, and a touch of patience, you can unleash the full potential of your Dendro DPS and conquer the challenges of Teyvat!
