Optimizing Klee’s Firepower: Crimson Witch of Flames and Beyond
Klee, the adorable yet powerful Pyro mage, is a fantastic DPS character. For her, the Crimson Witch of Flames set is widely considered the best choice, but it’s not a simple matter of just slapping on the set and calling it a day. To unleash Klee’s true potential, you need to understand how the set works and what other pieces complement it perfectly.
The Crimson Witch’s Power: This four-piece set boasts a significant boost to Pyro damage:
- 2-Piece Bonus: +15% Pyro Damage Bonus.
- 4-Piece Bonus: Increases the damage dealt by your Overload and Burning reactions by 40%, and increases your Pyro damage bonus by 15% for 10 seconds after using an Elemental Skill.
These bonuses significantly amplify Klee’s already impressive Pyro output, making her melt enemies with ease. But remember, this set relies on reactions to truly shine. That means pairing Klee with characters who can trigger Overload and/or Burning, and using those reactions to maximize her damage output.
Beyond Crimson Witch: Finding the Perfect Harmony: While Crimson Witch is excellent, you can further refine your build by considering these key aspects:
- The Power of Flowers: The Crimson Witch of Flames Flower (the goblet artifact) should always be Pyro Damage Bonus%. This provides a significant boost to your Pyro damage output, further enhancing the power of the Crimson Witch set.
- The Heart of a Goblet: The Crimson Witch of Flames Goblet should always be Pyro Damage Bonus%. This ensures that your Pyro damage is maximized, as it’s the core of Klee’s damage output.
- Critical Hit Rate and Damage: Balancing Critical Hit Rate and Damage is crucial. Ideally, you want a healthy mix of both to ensure that you’re landing critical hits consistently and dealing the highest possible damage with each one. Aim for a critical hit rate around 60% and critical damage around 140% to maximize your damage potential.
- Elemental Mastery: While not as important as Pyro damage bonus, some Elemental Mastery can be beneficial for Klee, especially when paired with characters like Xiangling who can trigger Vaporize reactions.
- Energy Recharge: Klee’s Elemental Skill doesn’t have a long cooldown, but some Energy Recharge is still useful, particularly if you’re using her with characters who require significant energy to use their abilities.
- Sub-Stats: Look for artifacts with good sub-stats. The best sub-stats for Klee are Critical Hit Rate, Critical Hit Damage, Pyro Damage Bonus, and Energy Recharge. However, even a small amount of Elemental Mastery or ATK% can be beneficial.
Optimal Team Compositions: Klee’s strengths lie in her ability to deal massive Pyro damage and trigger reactions. Consider these team compositions to maximize her performance:
- Melt Team: Klee, Ganyu, Diona, and Bennett. This team focuses on generating Cryo and then triggering Melt reactions with Klee’s Pyro attacks, resulting in devastating damage.
- Overload Team: Klee, Fischl, Sucrose, and Bennett. This team combines Klee’s Pyro attacks with Fischl’s Electro attacks to trigger Overload, creating powerful explosions and keeping enemies stunned.
- Burning Team: Klee, Xiangling, Bennett, and Kazuha. This team utilizes Xiangling’s Guoba to apply Pyro, allowing Klee to trigger Burning reactions for consistent damage.
Building Your Best Klee: Optimizing your Klee build is a continuous process. Experiment with different artifact combinations, team compositions, and weapon choices. Remember, the best build is the one that best suits your playstyle and preferences. By understanding the intricacies of the Crimson Witch set and strategically choosing your artifacts, you’ll unlock Klee’s full potential and watch her unleash a fiery storm upon your enemies.
