Finding the Perfect Set for Your Dendro DPS
Building a powerful Dendro DPS character in Genshin Impact is all about finding the right balance between damage, reactions, and energy recharge. Here’s a breakdown of the best artifact sets and how to farm them:
The Two Main Choices:
- Gilded Dreams (4-piece): This set provides a strong boost to Dendro damage and Elemental Mastery, making it ideal for pure Dendro DPS characters. The 4-piece bonus activates after triggering a Dendro reaction (like Bloom or Hyperbloom).
- Deepwood Memories (4-piece): If you’re running a team focused on the Spread reaction (and you’ll likely have plenty of Electro characters!), this set offers a significant increase in Dendro damage against enemies weakened by Dendro.
Choosing Between the Two:
- Gilded Dreams: This set is excellent for characters like Nahida, who can easily trigger Dendro reactions and benefit from the high Elemental Mastery boost.
- Deepwood Memories: Consider this set if you’re aiming for a Spread-focused team with characters like Kuki Shinobu or Raiden Shogun, and the bonus against weakened enemies is crucial.
Finding Those Perfect Artifacts:
- Gilded Dreams: You can farm this set in the Vourukasha Obelisk domain in Sumeru’s desert region. It has challenging enemies, so be prepared!
- Deepwood Memories: This set is farmed in the Forbidden Orchard domain, also in Sumeru.
Artifact Stats to Focus On:
For both sets:
- Sands of Eon: Elemental Mastery is the primary choice for most Dendro DPS, as it boosts both Dendro damage and reaction damage.
- Goblet of Eonothem: Dendro Damage Bonus is the essential choice.
- Circlet of Logos: Critical Rate or Critical Damage depending on your character’s base stats and weapon.
- Substats: Aim for a mix of Critical Rate, Critical Damage, Elemental Mastery, and Energy Recharge.
Energy Recharge Considerations:
- Nahida: She has excellent base Energy Recharge, making it less of a priority.
- Other Dendro DPS: Ensure you have enough Energy Recharge to consistently use your Elemental Burst. You can consider a weapon with Energy Recharge as a substat, or supplement it with Energy Recharge on some artifacts.
Artifact Farming Tips:
- Farming Time: Focus on farming one artifact set at a time. It takes time and effort to get those perfect pieces.
- Resin Efficiency: Save your resin for the domain that drops the artifact set you’re actively farming.
- Use the Optimizer: Use an online artifact optimizer to analyze your current set and see what improvements you can make. This will help you prioritize which stats to look for.
Remember, building a strong Dendro DPS is a process. Be patient, experiment with different team compositions, and have fun!
