Building Diluc’s Crimson Witch of Flames Set: Getting the Perfect Substats
Diluc, the fiery Pyro sword user, thrives with the Crimson Witch of Flames set. This set boosts his Pyro damage and makes him a powerful DPS character. But getting the perfect substats on his artifacts can be tricky! Don’t worry, this guide will help you understand what to look for and how to achieve maximum damage potential.
The Goal: Maximizing Pyro Damage
Diluc’s damage output is directly tied to his Pyro damage bonus. The Crimson Witch set provides a substantial boost to this stat, but it’s the substats that truly make a difference. We want to aim for a combination of these substats:
- Pyro Damage Bonus: This is the most important substat! Aim for a high percentage on every artifact you can get.
- Critical Rate and Critical Damage: These are crucial for making your attacks hit hard and consistently. Aim for a balance between the two, ideally around a 1:2 ratio (1:2 means 1% Critical Rate for every 2% Critical Damage).
- Attack Percentage: This increases your base attack, boosting overall damage output.
Finding the Perfect Artifacts
The journey to finding the perfect substats involves a bit of patience and grinding. Here’s how to tackle it:
- Farm Domains: The Crimson Witch set is found in the "Hidden Palace of Liyue" domain. You’ll need to complete the domain on a higher difficulty level to get better artifacts.
- Look for Good Rolls: When you get a new artifact, check its substats. Focus on getting at least one of the above-mentioned substats on each artifact.
- Refine and Upgrade: Once you have some good base artifacts, start refining and upgrading them. Each level-up gives you a chance to roll into a better substat.
- Prioritize Main Stats: The main stat of each artifact piece should be relevant to Diluc’s build. Here’s a common breakdown:
- Flower (Plume): ATK%
- Feather (Sands): ATK%
- Goblet (Cup): Pyro Damage Bonus
- Circlet (Hat): Crit Rate or Crit Damage
- Weapon (Sword): ATK%
- Don’t Settle: The process can take a long time, but don’t get discouraged! Keep farming and upgrading until you have a set of artifacts that truly maximize Diluc’s potential.
Key Considerations
- Artifact Sets: While Crimson Witch is the preferred set for Diluc, consider using a few pieces from another set to enhance specific aspects of his build. For instance, adding 2-piece Gladiator’s Finale for additional ATK% can be beneficial.
- Weapon Choice: Diluc’s weapon choice plays a huge role in his damage output. Weapons like Wolf’s Gravestone and Song of Broken Pines can greatly enhance his performance.
- Team Composition: Pairing Diluc with supports like Bennett and Sucrose can further boost his Pyro damage.
Remember, building a strong character is an ongoing process. It takes time and effort, but the satisfaction of seeing your Diluc decimate enemies with his fiery attacks is truly rewarding! Good luck!
