Building the Perfect Dendro DPS: Artifact Farming Guide
Getting the best artifacts for your Dendro DPS character in Genshin Impact can feel like a journey through a dense jungle. But don’t worry, we’re here to guide you through the undergrowth!
First, understand your goals:
- Who’s your Dendro DPS? Knowing which character you’re building is key. Characters like Nahida, Yaoyao, and the upcoming Dendro Traveler all have different strengths and playstyles. This impacts which stats and artifact sets are ideal.
- What’s your team? Do you have a team focused on reaction damage (like Bloom or Hyperbloom), or do you want to maximize their elemental damage? The answer shapes your artifact priorities.
Now, let’s talk about artifact sets!
Here are the most commonly used sets for Dendro DPS:
- Gilded Dreams (4-piece): This set boosts Dendro damage by a massive amount, making it a top choice for almost every Dendro DPS. It also increases elemental mastery, which helps trigger reactions and amplify damage.
- Deepwood Memories (4-piece): Great for characters who can trigger reactions, as this set increases Dendro damage and also reduces the enemy’s Dendro resistance.
- Wanderer’s Troupe (2-piece) + Gilded Dreams (2-piece): A good alternative if you don’t have the luck for a full 4-piece set, giving a good balance of damage and elemental mastery.
Beyond the sets, prioritize these stats:
- Dendro damage bonus: This is the most important stat for boosting your character’s Dendro damage output.
- Elemental Mastery: Essential for maximizing reaction damage, especially with characters like Nahida and Yaoyao.
- Critical Rate and Critical Damage: These are the standard stats for maximizing damage, but their importance varies depending on your character and team.
- Energy Recharge: For characters like Nahida, who have a high energy cost, this helps ensure they can use their Elemental Burst frequently.
Where to farm?
- Gilded Dreams: The "Vourukasha’s Glory" domain (Mondstadt) is your go-to for this set.
- Deepwood Memories: "Hidden Palace of Liyue" (Liyue) houses this set.
Tips for efficient farming:
- Focus on specific domains: Don’t waste your resin trying to farm everything at once. Prioritize the domains for the sets you need.
- Level up your artifacts: Don’t neglect artifact levels. Even a perfect set won’t be effective if they’re not leveled up to at least level 16.
- Take advantage of Resin events: Special events often offer bonuses for artifact farming. Make sure to take advantage of them!
Remember, this is a long-term process. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get perfect artifacts right away. Keep farming, keep experimenting, and you’ll eventually build the perfect Dendro DPS for your team.
