Building the Perfect Firestorm: Finding the Best Artifacts for Your Pyro DPS
Unlocking the full potential of your fiery friends in Genshin Impact requires more than just a good weapon. It’s all about finding the perfect set of artifacts to unleash their true power! This guide breaks down the best artifact sets and specific stats to dominate the battlefield with your Pyro DPS characters like Hu Tao, Diluc, and Klee.
The Two Key Sets:
- Crimson Witch of Flames: This is the undisputed king for Pyro DPS characters. The 2-piece bonus grants a hefty 15% Pyro Damage Bonus, setting the foundation for your fiery attacks. The 4-piece bonus is where the real magic happens, increasing the damage of your Overload and Vaporize reactions by a whopping 15% and boosting your Pyro damage by 40% when using an Elemental Skill.
- Gladiator’s Finale: While not specifically designed for Pyro, this set provides a general boost to your character’s attack, making it a great alternative when you’re just starting out or haven’t found a good Crimson Witch set. The 2-piece bonus offers 18% Attack Bonus, and the 4-piece bonus grants a further 35% Attack Bonus when using a normal attack.
The Crucial Stats:
- Pyro Damage Bonus: This is your top priority for a Pyro DPS character. The higher the percentage, the more damage your Pyro attacks will inflict.
- Attack: A solid base attack is essential for dealing significant damage. Focus on maximizing this stat through your artifacts, weapon, and even your character’s ascension levels.
- Critical Rate and Critical Damage: These stats are the key to delivering powerful hits. Aim for a balance between them. Generally, a 1:2 ratio (for every 1% Critical Rate, you have 2% Critical Damage) is considered ideal.
- Energy Recharge: Especially if you’re using a character like Hu Tao, whose Elemental Skill requires a considerable amount of energy, ensuring you can use it frequently is important. Aim for a minimum of 120% Energy Recharge.
Artifact Farming:
- Domain of Guyun: This domain is your primary source for Crimson Witch of Flames artifacts. It’s found in Liyue, with a high chance of dropping Pyro Damage Bonus artifacts.
- Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula: This domain is for Gladiator’s Finale artifacts. It’s located in Liyue and offers a decent chance of getting Attack Bonus artifacts.
- Artifact Strongboxes: While less consistent than domains, Artifact Strongboxes found around the world offer a chance to snag some decent artifacts. Keep an eye out for the 5-star strongboxes, as they often hold higher-level artifacts.
Remember:
- Artifact Leveling: Don’t neglect to level up your chosen artifacts. The higher their level, the greater their stats!
- Sub-Stats: While main stats are crucial, don’t forget to look for good sub-stats like Attack%, Critical Rate%, Critical Damage%, and Energy Recharge%.
- Experiment: There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Try different combinations of sets and stats to discover what works best for your chosen Pyro DPS character and playstyle.
By carefully selecting your artifacts and optimizing their stats, you’ll unleash a fiery inferno that will melt even the toughest enemies in Teyvat! Good luck on your artifact hunt!
