Farming for a Blazing Diluc: Optimizing Your Crimson Witch of Flames Set
Getting the perfect artifacts for Diluc can feel like a long, fiery journey. But fear not, with a bit of strategy and a whole lot of patience, you can unlock his full potential!
First things first, we need to understand what makes a good Diluc build. Since he’s a Pyro DPS, we want to maximize his damage output. This means focusing on these stats:
- ATK%: More attack power translates to more damage. You want this as high as possible on your artifacts.
- Pyro DMG Bonus: This boosts Diluc’s fire damage, making his attacks even more devastating.
- Crit Rate and Crit DMG: This duo ensures that Diluc lands critical hits more often and deals even higher damage.
Now, the Crimson Witch of Flames set is a popular choice for Diluc. It offers a powerful 2-piece bonus that boosts Pyro damage and a 4-piece bonus that increases your damage after using an Elemental Skill.
Here’s a breakdown of the artifacts you should aim for:
Flower (Sands of Eon):
- Main Stat: ATK% (always!)
- Sub-stats: ATK%, Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Energy Recharge (if needed)
Plume (Feather of Death):
- Main Stat: ATK% (always!)
- Sub-stats: ATK%, Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Energy Recharge (if needed)
Goblet (Goblet of Eonothem):
- Main Stat: Pyro DMG Bonus (always!)
- Sub-stats: ATK%, Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Energy Recharge (if needed)
Circlet (Circlet of Logos):
- Main Stat: Crit Rate or Crit DMG (depending on your current ratio)
- Sub-stats: ATK%, Crit Rate, Crit DMG, Energy Recharge (if needed)
Weapons: The best weapon for Diluc is the Wolf’s Gravestone, which boosts his ATK% and Critical Damage. Other good options include Song of Broken Pines for energy recharge, Primordial Jade Cutter for ATK% boost, or Wideslash for ATK% and Crit Rate.
Now, the key to getting those perfect artifacts is understanding where to find them:
- Domain of Guiding Stars (Mondstadt): This domain is your best bet for farming the Crimson Witch of Flames set.
- Domain of Forgotten Stars (Mondstadt): If you need to farm for ATK% or Crit Rate for your Sands, Plume, or Circlet, this domain offers decent alternatives.
Tips for Efficient Artifact Farming:
- Prioritize Domain Runs: Focus on running the Domain of Guiding Stars as often as possible.
- Resin Management: Don’t waste resin on low-level domains or artifacts. Save it for higher-level domains where you have a better chance of getting good rolls.
- Artifact Refinement: Once you have some decent artifacts, you can spend resin to improve their sub-stats. This can be a good option for artifacts with really good main stats.
- Don’t Give Up! Farming artifacts can be a long and tedious process, but it’s worth it in the end!
Remember, a perfect Diluc build takes time and dedication, so don’t get discouraged if your first few runs don’t yield the results you’re looking for. Keep grinding, keep believing in your Pyro power, and you’ll soon be unleashing the fiery fury of Diluc!
