Building the Best Dendro DPS: A Guide to Artifacts in Genshin Impact 3.5
While we don’t have a dedicated Dendro DPS character yet, the recent arrival of Nahida has sparked excitement for future Dendro DPS options in Genshin Impact. This guide explores the best artifacts for a potential Dendro DPS build, keeping in mind the current meta and potential future changes.
The Key: Amplifying Dendro Damage
The goal is to maximize your character’s Dendro damage. This means prioritizing artifacts that boost Dendro damage, Elemental Mastery, and Critical Rate/Damage.
The Best Artifact Sets:
-
Deepwood Memories (4-Piece): This set is arguably the best for a Dendro DPS. It increases Dendro damage by 15% and further boosts Dendro damage against enemies affected by Dendro by another 30%. This set works wonders in team compositions that rely heavily on Dendro reactions, like Aggravate and Hyperbloom.
-
Gilded Dreams (4-Piece): While not specifically designed for Dendro, Gilded Dreams offers flexibility. It increases Elemental Mastery by 80 and then boosts the damage of both Elemental Reactions based on the element of the character using the set. This set is ideal for characters who can trigger both Aggravate and Hyperbloom reactions, allowing them to deal significant damage from both.
-
Wanderer’s Troupe (4-Piece): A classic choice for DPS characters, Wanderer’s Troupe increases Elemental Damage by 35% but only applies to your Normal Attack, Charged Attack, and Plunging Attack damage. This might not be as effective for Dendro characters who rely more on Elemental Reactions, but it’s a decent alternative if your other artifacts are good.
Artifact Stats to Focus On:
-
Sands of Eon: Focus on Elemental Mastery or Dendro Damage Bonus. Elemental Mastery enhances the power of Dendro reactions while Dendro Damage Bonus directly boosts your Dendro damage.
-
Goblet of Eonothem: Dendro Damage Bonus is the clear winner here, boosting your overall Dendro damage significantly.
-
Circlet of Logos: Prioritize Critical Rate/Damage for maximizing your damage potential. Aim for a balance between the two stats depending on your character’s base stats.
-
Sub-Stats: Look for Elemental Mastery, Critical Rate/Damage, ATK%, and Energy Recharge as sub-stats. Prioritize Elemental Mastery and Critical Rate/Damage over the others.
Building Your Dendro DPS:
-
Start with a Base: Choose a character with strong Dendro scaling and potential for dealing high damage.
-
Artifact Farming: Focus on farming the Deepwood Memories set, prioritizing the main stats discussed earlier. Remember that Gilded Dreams can be a viable alternative.
-
Sub-Stats Matter: Pay attention to the sub-stats on your artifacts. Even small increases in Elemental Mastery, Critical Rate/Damage, or ATK% can add up over time.
-
Team Composition: Ensure your team composition supports your Dendro DPS. Consider characters that provide Electro or Hydro for Aggravate and Hyperbloom reactions.
Important Note: These recommendations are based on the current state of the game. As new Dendro characters and artifacts are released, this guide may need to be updated.
Remember to enjoy the process of building your perfect Dendro DPS! Experiment, learn, and embrace the excitement of the ever-evolving world of Genshin Impact.
