Building a Powerful Dendro DPS: Choosing the Right Artifacts
When you’re building a Dendro DPS in Genshin Impact, you’re aiming for a character that can deal a ton of damage with their elemental reactions, specifically Bloom and Hyperbloom. This means you need a good balance of Elemental Mastery (EM) and other stats to maximize damage. Here’s a breakdown of the best artifact sets for your Dendro DPS, focusing on high EM:
The Top Contenders:
- Deepwood Memories (4-Piece): This set is the king of Dendro DPS, giving a whopping 15% Dendro damage bonus and decreasing Dendro resistance of enemies by 30% for 8 seconds when you hit them with an elemental skill. It’s almost essential for any Dendro DPS build.
- Gilded Dreams (4-Piece): This set boosts your EM significantly, granting a 14% increase to your Elemental Mastery and an additional 8% boost for every 100 EM you have. This makes it fantastic for maximizing your Bloom and Hyperbloom damage.
- Wanderer’s Troupe (2-Piece) + Gilded Dreams (2-Piece): Combining these two sets offers a great balance. Wanderer’s Troupe gives a 18% Elemental Damage bonus, while Gilded Dreams provides that essential EM boost.
Why EM is Crucial:
- Bloom & Hyperbloom: These reactions are primarily driven by EM. The higher your EM, the more damage these reactions will inflict.
- Elemental Mastery Bonuses: Some Dendro characters, like Nahida and Yaoyao, have abilities that scale with their EM, further enhancing their damage potential.
Choosing the Best Set:
The ideal set for your Dendro DPS depends on your specific character and team composition. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide:
For Strong Dendro Damage Boost:
- Deepwood Memories (4-Piece) + Gilded Dreams (2-Piece): This combination provides the most significant Dendro damage bonus while still boosting your EM for powerful reactions.
- Deepwood Memories (4-Piece) + Wanderer’s Troupe (2-Piece): This offers a slightly less EM boost, but the combination provides more balanced damage output between Dendro and other element types.
For Hyperbloom-focused Builds:
- Gilded Dreams (4-Piece): This set provides a substantial EM boost, making it ideal for maximizing Hyperbloom damage. If you’re building a team focused on Hyperbloom, Gilded Dreams is your go-to.
Don’t Forget the Substats!
While the artifact sets are important, substats are just as critical for maximizing damage. Aim for the following:
- Elemental Mastery: It’s your top priority.
- Dendro Damage Bonus: The more, the better!
- Energy Recharge: This ensures your Dendro DPS can use their Elemental Skill consistently.
- Crit Rate and Crit Damage: These stats boost your overall damage output.
Remember: Experiment! Don’t be afraid to try different artifact sets and substats to find the perfect combination for your Dendro DPS.
