Blizzard Strayer is an Artifact Set in Genshin Impact designed primarily for characters who utilize Cryo damage or benefit from critical hit mechanics.
Here's a detailed look at this set:
Set Effects:
•2-Piece Set: Increases Cryo DMG Bonus by 15%.
•4-Piece Set: When a character attacks an enemy affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the enemy is Frozen, the CRIT Rate bonus increases by an additional 20%.
Best Characters for the Set:
•Ganyu: Her charged shots and overall playstyle make her one of the best candidates for Blizzard Strayer, amplifying her already high crit potential.
•Ayaka: Her burst and normal attacks benefit immensely from the increased Cryo damage and crit rate, especially in teams where she frequently freezes enemies.
•Kaeya: While not as commonly used with this set due to his role usually being support, his Cryo application can still make him a good carrier for the set, particularly in freeze comps.
•Rosaria: Her crit-sharing passive synergizes well with the set's crit bonuses, making her not only a beneficiary but also a team enhancer when equipped with Blizzard Strayer.
How to Obtain:
•Domain: Blizzard Strayer can be farmed in the Peak of Vindagnyr domain, located in Dragonspine.
•Crafting: You can also try your luck with Mystic Offering by sacrificing three 5-star artifacts to potentially get a piece from an Artifact Strongbox.
Additional Notes:
1.The 4-piece effect of Blizzard Strayer is particularly potent in teams that can consistently apply Cryo or, even better, keep enemies in a Frozen state, which is common in "Melt" or "Freeze" team compositions.
2.The set is one of the best for maximizing critical hit rates and damage for Cryo characters, especially since it provides a significant boost without needing additional crit rate substats from artifacts or weapons.
3.Like other sets, Blizzard Strayer pieces come in 4-star and 5-star rarities, with 5-star artifacts offering the potential for better substats.
Strategy for Using Blizzard Strayer:
1.Pairing this set with characters who have high base crit damage or who can benefit from crit rate boosts is ideal.
2.For Ganyu or Ayaka, focusing on crit damage substats can lead to devastatingly high damage outputs due to the set's crit rate increase.
3.In teams where enemies are frequently frozen, such as with Mona or Xingqiu for Hydro application, the set's full potential is realized, making it a cornerstone for Cryo DPS builds.
