Finding those Fiery Jewels: A Guide to Farming Crimson Agate for Hu Tao
Hu Tao, the fiery Ghost of the Guhua Clan, is a powerful Pyro Polearm user who thrives on dealing damage with her Crimson Agate set. While her kit is awesome, getting the right pieces for her can be a bit of a fiery trial! But don’t worry, this guide will help you efficiently farm those fiery jewels.
First, let’s talk about the key stats you’re looking for:
- Crimson Agate 2-Piece Set Bonus: Increases Pyro Damage by 15%.
- Crimson Agate 4-Piece Set Bonus: Increases the damage dealt by your Elemental Skill by 15% and your attack by 10% for 10 seconds after using your Elemental Skill.
Now, let’s get to the farming!
Crimson Agate is found in the Domain of Guyun, a fiery domain located on the eastern coast of Liyue. It’s best to tackle this domain with a team that can handle the Pyro element, as it’s often the domain’s primary challenge. Here are some tips:
1. Domain Selection:
- Choose the appropriate level: The higher the domain’s level, the higher the chance of getting better artifacts. Aim for a level that matches your current team’s strength.
- Choose the "Crimson Agate" option: This will ensure you get the artifacts you need for Hu Tao.
2. Team Building:
- Pyro characters are your best bet: Characters like Xiangling, Diluc, Klee, and Yanfei excel in dealing with Pyro enemies.
- Healers are important: Healing characters like Barbara, Qiqi, or Kokomi can keep your team alive through the fiery challenges.
- Shields are also helpful: Characters like Noelle, Diona, or Zhongli can provide a barrier to absorb damage.
3. Artifact Optimization:
- Focus on the correct stats: Prioritize HP% and Pyro Damage Bonus as your main stats on the Crimson Agate pieces.
- Sub-stats matter too: Look for Crit Rate, Crit Damage, Attack%, and Energy Recharge as secondary stats.
- Upgrade your best pieces: Once you have decent pieces, use your Enhancement Ore wisely to level them up.
4. Keep farming!
- Don’t give up: Farming for the perfect artifacts takes time, so be patient and consistent.
- Use resin wisely: Only use Resin on domains that give you the best chance of getting the artifacts you need.
- Check your inventory: Regularly sort and refine your artifacts, so you can keep track of what you have and what you need.
Remember, building Hu Tao is a long-term endeavor. Take your time, be consistent, and enjoy the process!
