Unlocking the Power of Fire: Farming Crimson Witch of Flames Artifacts in Genshin Impact
The Crimson Witch of Flames artifact set is a must-have for any Pyro character looking to deal serious damage. It’s a powerful set that increases your Pyro damage, boosts your attack, and provides a bonus to your elemental reaction damage.
But farming these artifacts can be a real grind. Let’s break down some strategies to get you those fiery treasures efficiently:
Understanding the Domains:
The Crimson Witch of Flames set drops from the "Hidden Palace of Liyue" domain, which is located in Liyue. You can find it on your map, marked by an artifact symbol. The domain offers three difficulties:
- Level 40: For early game players.
- Level 60: The standard level for most players.
- Level 80: For those seeking the strongest gear.
Maximizing Your Runs:
- Resin Management: Use your Original Resin wisely. The domain consumes 20 resin per run, giving you 3 artifact drops per run.
- Daily Bounty: Use your daily "Bounty" to get a guaranteed extra drop of Crimson Witch artifacts, boosting your chances of getting good pieces.
- Ley Line Overflow: When you have extra resin, Ley Line Overflow events can help you get extra artifacts.
- Domain Bonuses: Pay attention to the domain’s weekly bonus. Some weeks, you might get a bonus on the drop rate of specific sets, so keep an eye out for those.
- Artifact Conversion: Use the "Artifact Strongbox" feature to turn unwanted artifacts into a guaranteed Crimson Witch piece. It’s a great way to fill in the gaps.
- The "Artifact Strongbox" Trick: Use the Artifact Strongbox to convert a 5-star artifact you don’t need into a 5-star Crimson Witch of Flames artifact. This allows you to control what you get to some degree.
Don’t Just Grind, Strategize:
-
Focus on Specific Stats: Instead of just farming blindly, decide which specific stats are most important for your Pyro character. This might be a mix of:
- Crimson Witch of Flames set bonuses (2-piece and 4-piece)
- Pyro Damage Bonus
- Attack%
- Critical Rate/Damage
- Elemental Mastery
- Energy Recharge
-
Sub-Stats Are Key: Once you’ve gotten your main stats sorted, look for great sub-stats. Aim for rolls that give you Critical Rate/Damage, Pyro Damage Bonus, Attack%, and Elemental Mastery.
-
Sub-Stat Prioritization: Don’t be afraid to sacrifice a little bit of a main stat if you get a piece with amazing sub-stats.
The Long Game:
Farming Crimson Witch of Flames is a long-term process. Don’t expect to get perfect artifacts overnight. Be patient and focus on making progress every day. It’s a rewarding journey, and having those strong artifacts will make your Pyro characters truly shine.
