Finding the Right Electro Spark: Off-Field DPS Artifact Sets in Genshin Impact
Building an off-field Electro DPS character means you want them to deal damage even when they’re not actively on the field. This can be a fantastic way to support your main DPS, especially if you want to use characters like Fischl or Raiden Shogun to keep your enemies under control.
Let’s break down the most popular artifact sets for these Electro powerhouse support roles:
1. Thundering Fury: This set is a staple for off-field Electro DPS because it focuses on boosting both Electro damage and Energy Recharge. This is perfect for characters like Fischl and Raiden Shogun who need to be able to consistently use their Elemental Bursts to keep up the Electro damage.
- 2-Piece Bonus: Electro Damage Bonus +15%
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases Electro damage by 15%. When an Electro character triggers an Elemental Reaction, their Electro damage bonus is increased by 50% for 10 seconds. This effect stacks up to 2 times, and stacks are independent of each other.
Pros: Huge Electro damage boost, great for generating energy to use Elemental Bursts often
Cons: The 4-piece bonus can be tricky to maximize, requiring careful timing and team composition.
2. Emblem of Severed Fate: This set is designed for characters who want to be able to use their Elemental Bursts frequently and deal more damage with them. Raiden Shogun is the perfect example, as she benefits greatly from having higher Energy Recharge.
- 2-Piece Bonus: Energy Recharge +20%
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases Elemental Burst damage by 25% of Energy Recharge. Max bonus is 75% of Energy Recharge.
Pros: Powerful Elemental Burst damage increase, great for maximizing Raiden Shogun’s potential
Cons: Less direct Electro damage boost compared to Thundering Fury
3. The Exile: This set is a bit less common but can be useful for characters like Fischl who have relatively short cooldowns on their Elemental Skills and need to generate energy quickly.
- 2-Piece Bonus: Energy Recharge +20%
- 4-Piece Bonus: When the character’s Elemental Skill hits an opponent, their Energy Recharge is increased by 20% for 10 seconds.
Pros: Excellent energy generation, good for characters with frequent Elemental Skill use
Cons: Less direct damage boost compared to other sets
4. Gilded Dreams: This set is an interesting option for characters who can benefit from a mix of Electro and Elemental Mastery. It can be a good choice for Fischl or Raiden Shogun if you want to trigger reactions like Superconduct and Electro-Charged.
- 2-Piece Bonus: Elemental Mastery +80
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases damage dealt by Elemental Skills by 14% for 14 seconds when an Elemental Skill hits an opponent. This effect stacks up to 3 times. When Elemental Burst is triggered, the bonus from Elemental Skills is increased to 20%.
Pros: Good for maximizing both Electro damage and Elemental Mastery
Cons: Less direct Electro damage boost compared to other sets, can be less effective without proper team synergy
Choosing the Right Set:
- For Raiden Shogun: Emblem of Severed Fate is the best choice for maximizing her Elemental Burst damage.
- For Fischl: Thundering Fury is the best choice for maximizing Electro damage output, but The Exile can also be effective if you want to focus on energy generation.
- Other Electro Supports: Experiment with different sets depending on the character’s abilities and your team composition.
Remember that the best set for your off-field Electro DPS will depend on your team composition, playstyle, and the specific character you are using. Experiment and see what works best for you!
