Getting the best artifact rolls for your Pyro DPS characters can be a bit of a grind, but it’s worth it for that extra damage boost! Here’s a breakdown of what you should focus on to maximize your Pyro DPS power:
1. The Right Artifact Sets
- Crimson Witch of Flames: This is the go-to set for most Pyro DPS characters. It gives you a big boost to Pyro damage and boosts your damage even further when you use Elemental Reactions like Vaporize and Melt.
- Gladiator’s Finale: This set is a good alternative if you want to focus on increasing your character’s base attack power. It’s great for characters like Diluc who have a strong base attack.
- Wanderer’s Troupe: If you’re looking to boost your character’s damage further, consider using this set with a character that uses a bow. It provides a nice bonus to damage for your charged attacks.
2. The Ideal Stats
- Flower (HP) and Feather (ATK): These artifacts are always the same, so just grab the highest base stats you can find.
- Sands (HP%, ATK%, or Energy Recharge):
- Choose ATK% if your character already has enough Energy Recharge from other sources.
- Choose HP% if you need more HP for healing abilities or for characters like Hu Tao who benefit from high HP.
- Choose Energy Recharge if your character has trouble building their Elemental Burst.
- Goblet (Pyro Damage Bonus): This is the most important stat for any Pyro DPS character. Aim for the highest value possible!
- Circlet (Critical Rate/Critical Damage): You need a balance between these two stats. Ideally, you want a 1:2 ratio (1 Critical Rate for every 2 Critical Damage). This means if you have 50% Critical Rate, you should aim for around 100% Critical Damage. But if one stat is really high, go for it!
3. Sub-Stats – Don’t Forget the Extras!
Sub-stats are the little details on your artifacts that can add a lot to your damage! Here’s what to look for:
- Critical Rate and Critical Damage: Always prioritize these!
- ATK%: This is a great sub-stat for most DPS characters.
- Energy Recharge: This is important if your character has trouble building their Elemental Burst.
- Elemental Mastery: Useful for characters like Hu Tao who focus on Vaporize or Melt reactions.
4. Farming Artifact Domains
- Crimson Witch of Flames: You’ll find this set in the "Crimson Witch of Flames" domain, located in the Mondstadt region.
- Gladiator’s Finale: You’ll find this set in the "Hidden Palace of Liyue" domain, located in the Liyue region.
- Wanderer’s Troupe: You’ll find this set in the "Valley of Remembrance" domain, located in the Mondstadt region.
5. It’s All About the Grind!
Be prepared to spend a lot of time farming artifact domains. It can take weeks, or even months, to get the perfect set. Don’t get discouraged! The journey is part of the fun!
6. Optimize for Your Character
Remember that these are general guidelines. You may need to adjust your artifact builds based on your specific character. For example, Hu Tao needs more HP than most Pyro DPS characters.
7. Don’t Be Afraid to Experiment
Don’t be afraid to try different artifact sets and builds. There’s no single "best" way to build a Pyro DPS character. Find what works best for you and your playstyle!
Good luck with your artifact farming!
