Building an elemental reaction team in Genshin Impact is all about maximizing the damage you deal through reactions like Vaporize, Melt, Electro-Charged, and Superconduct. To do this, you need the right artifact sets that enhance your team’s elemental power and damage output. Let’s break down some of the best sets for different reaction types:
Vaporize and Melt: These are the most potent reactions in the game, and the ideal artifact sets for them focus on maximizing the damage of the character triggering the reaction.
- 2-Piece Crimson Witch of Flames + 2-Piece Gladiator’s Finale: This classic combination provides a great balance of ATK% and Pyro Damage Bonus. It’s perfect for characters like Hu Tao, Diluc, and Klee who excel at Vaporize and Melt.
- 4-Piece Crimson Witch of Flames: This set offers the highest potential Pyro Damage Bonus, but it requires a bit more investment in getting the full effect. This is a great choice for characters who can consistently trigger Vaporize or Melt, like Yoimiya and Xiangling.
Electro-Charged and Superconduct: These reactions focus on applying Electro and Cryo elements to enemies. The artifact sets below provide various ways to enhance the reaction’s effectiveness.
- 4-Piece Thundering Fury: This set increases Electro Damage Bonus and generates more energy, making it ideal for Electro characters who want to trigger Electro-Charged reactions. Consider it for Raiden Shogun, Fischl, and Yae Miko.
- 4-Piece Noblesse Oblige: This set increases Elemental Burst damage, which can benefit both Electro and Cryo characters triggering Superconduct. It’s an excellent choice for characters like Ganyu, Ayaka, and Rosaria.
- 2-Piece Noblesse Oblige + 2-Piece Blizzard Strayer: This combination offers a good balance of damage and Cryo damage bonus, perfect for Cryo characters aiming for Superconduct.
Additional Considerations:
- Emblem of Severed Fate: This set is useful for characters who want to maximize their Elemental Burst damage, like Raiden Shogun, Kazuha, and Sucrose.
- 2-Piece Heart of Depth + 2-Piece Gladiator’s Finale/Shimenawa’s Reminiscence: This combination offers a good balance of ATK% and Hydro Damage Bonus, making it a good choice for Hydro characters like Xingqiu and Mona.
- 4-Piece Ocean-Hued Clam: This set is excellent for characters like Kokomi who trigger a healing reaction called "Ocean-Hued Clam’s Blessing," which scales with the amount of healing the character does.
Don’t Forget the Substats:
While artifact sets are important, it’s crucial to focus on substats like ATK%, Elemental Damage Bonus, Energy Recharge, and Critical Rate/Damage. A good substat spread can significantly amplify the damage your team outputs.
Experiment and Adapt:
Experiment with different combinations of artifact sets and characters to find the best setup for your preferred team. The best set for a character depends on their role, the team composition, and your play style. Remember to adjust your artifact choices as you level up and unlock new characters and weapons.
