Chilling Out: A Guide to Farming Cryo Damage Bonus Artifacts
Want to build a frosty powerhouse? Finding the right artifacts to boost your Cryo characters’ damage can be a chilly challenge! But don’t worry, with a little planning and patience, you’ll have your Cryo DPS melting the competition in no time.
1. The Cryo Domain: Blizzard Strayer
The Blizzard Strayer set is your go-to for Cryo damage bonuses. It’s found in "Peak of Vindagnyr" in Dragonspine. This domain is a bit of a challenge, but the rewards are worth it! The set has two pieces:
- 2-Piece Bonus: Cryo DMG Bonus +15%
- 4-Piece Bonus: When a character hits an enemy affected by Cryo, their Cryo DMG is increased by 20% for 15s. This effect can stack up to 2 times.
2. The Second Option: Noblesse Oblige
While not strictly Cryo-focused, the Noblesse Oblige set from the "Clear Pool and Mountain Cavern" domain offers a strong boost to damage output that complements Cryo characters nicely.
- 2-Piece Bonus: Elemental Burst DMG +20%
- 4-Piece Bonus: Using an Elemental Burst increases all party members’ ATK by 20% for 12 seconds.
3. Finding the Right Stats
Now, let’s talk about the specific stats you want on those artifacts. Here’s a breakdown:
- Flower (Sands of Eon): ATK% is your best friend here.
- Feather (Plume of Death): ATK% again!
- Goblet (Goblet of Eonothem): Cryo DMG Bonus. This is the star of the show for Cryo DPS characters!
- Circlet (Circlet of Logos): Crit Rate or Crit DMG. Aim for a balance to maximize your damage potential.
- Clock (Hourglass): ATK% is generally the best choice for maximizing your character’s damage, but you can also consider Energy Recharge if you’re struggling to use your Elemental Burst.
4. The Grinding Game: Tips for Efficiency
- Resin: Remember, resin is your most precious resource! Don’t waste it on domains with low-level artifacts. Focus on domains with higher level artifact drops.
- Artifact Strongbox: Once you’ve collected a decent amount of artifacts, use your Artifact Strongbox to upgrade them. This will give you more chances to get better substats.
- Weekly Bosses: Remember to defeat the weekly bosses for a chance to get a 5-star artifact.
- Spiral Abyss: The rewards for higher floors in the Spiral Abyss can include 5-star artifacts, which can be a great source for those crucial Cryo damage pieces.
5. Don’t Give Up!
Finding perfect artifacts can take time. Be patient, experiment, and don’t be afraid to try different combinations to find what works best for your Cryo characters. Good luck, and may your Cryo attacks always be frosty and fierce!
