Equipping Your Burst DPS: Artifact Sets for Characters with Low Base ATK
Building a strong burst DPS character in Genshin Impact is all about maximizing their damage output when their ultimate ability (burst) is unleashed. However, some characters, like Raiden Shogun, have naturally low base ATK stats, making it tricky to maximize their burst potential. This is where the right artifact sets come in!
Here’s a breakdown of some of the best artifact sets for burst DPS characters with low base ATK, focusing on both maximizing burst damage and compensating for their lower base ATK:
1. Emblem of Severed Fate: This four-piece set is the king of burst DPS, offering a whopping 25% Energy Recharge bonus, a crucial stat for burst characters. Additionally, it grants an extra 25% burst damage for every 100% Energy Recharge, allowing you to unleash devastating bursts even more frequently. This set is perfect for characters like Raiden Shogun, who rely heavily on their burst and Energy Recharge.
2. Noblesse Oblige: This four-piece set is a powerful all-rounder, offering a 20% ATK bonus and a significant 20% burst damage boost after using the burst. While it doesn’t specifically focus on Energy Recharge, the ATK bonus helps compensate for low base ATK, while the burst damage boost further increases the character’s offensive power. This set works well on many burst DPS characters, especially those who might not need the extra Energy Recharge from Emblem of Severed Fate.
3. The Thundering Fury: This four-piece set offers a unique playstyle for Electro burst DPS characters. It provides a 20% Electro damage bonus and a powerful effect that enhances their burst damage by 25% upon hitting enemies with an Electro attack. The key here is to pair it with a strong Electro support, like Fischl, to trigger the effect consistently and maximize the set’s potential. It’s an excellent choice for characters like Raiden Shogun, who can easily trigger the effect with their Electro attacks.
4. Crimson Witch of Flames: This four-piece set offers 15% Pyro damage bonus and a 20% boost to Pyro damage when using the Elemental Skill. It’s especially powerful on characters like Hu Tao, who can easily trigger the set’s effect with their Pyro attacks, maximizing their burst damage output. While this set might seem less relevant to Electro or Hydro burst DPS characters, it’s a great option for characters like Yoimiya who can deal significant Pyro damage even without a Pyro-elemental skill.
5. The Gladiator’s Finale: This two-piece set provides a 18% ATK bonus, a great way to boost a character’s overall damage output, including their burst damage. Combining this set with either the two-piece Emblem of Severed Fate for more Energy Recharge or the two-piece Noblesse Oblige for a further burst damage boost offers a flexible and powerful option for burst DPS characters.
Beyond the Sets:
Remember, artifact sets aren’t the only factors in maximizing burst DPS. Consider these additional points:
- Sub-stats: Prioritize Energy Recharge, ATK%, Crit Rate, and Crit Damage for burst DPS characters.
- Weapons: Choose weapons that provide good Energy Recharge, ATK%, and Crit Rate.
- Team Composition: Choose a team that synergizes with your character’s burst and provides the necessary buffs and debuffs for optimal damage.
With the right artifact sets, weapon, and team composition, you can turn even a low base ATK burst DPS character into a powerful force on the battlefield, unleashing devastating bursts and achieving victory!
