Crimson Witch of Flames is a key artifact set for anyone looking to maximize Pyro damage, especially in reaction-based teams. Its ability to stack damage bonuses through reactions makes it one of the most potent sets for Pyro characters in Genshin Impact.
Here is a comprehensive overview:
Artifact Set Bonuses:
•2-Piece Set: Increases Pyro Damage Bonus by 15%.
•4-Piece Set: Increases Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon DMG by 40%. Additionally, after triggering these reactions or Vaporize or Melt, increases the equipping character's Pyro DMG by 15% for 10 seconds. This effect can stack up to 3 times.
How to Obtain:
•Domain: This set can be farmed in the Hidden Palace of Zhou Formula domain, located in the Bishui Plain of Liyue. The domain involves fighting enemies under a Ley Line Disorder that decreases the character's Pyro RES, making it more challenging.
•Artifact Strongbox: Like other artifact sets, you can craft an Artifact Strongbox at any crafting bench, sacrificing three 5-star artifacts to get one random piece from the Crimson Witch of Flames set.
Best Characters for the Set:
•Pyro DPS or Sub-DPS: Characters who deal significant Pyro damage or are central to Pyro reactions benefit the most:
▪Klee or Yanfei for direct Pyro damage output.
▪Hu Tao benefits immensely from the Pyro DMG bonus and the buffs from Vaporize.
▪Xiangling can leverage the reaction damage buffs in teams where she triggers reactions like Overloaded or Vaporize.
▪Characters in Reaction Teams: Those who can frequently trigger the reactions mentioned in the set bonuses:
▪Bennett for his Pyro application and support capabilities.
▪Diluc in teams where he can capitalize on Vaporize or Melt reactions.
Notes:
1.The 4-piece bonus is particularly strong because it not only increases specific reaction damage but also provides a stacking Pyro damage buff. This makes it excellent for both single-target and AOE scenarios where reactions are involved.
2.The stacking Pyro damage increase from the 4-piece set can be maintained with consistent reaction triggers, making it beneficial in teams that can keep up the pace of elemental interactions.
3.For characters like Hu Tao or Diluc, who can frequently Vaporize, this set can significantly amplify their damage output.
4.While the set does not provide Elemental Mastery, which could be beneficial for some reactions, its focus on direct damage and reaction damage makes it one of the best choices for Pyro-centric teams.
5.It's worth considering that with the introduction of new characters and game mechanics, the effectiveness of this set can vary, but it remains a staple for Pyro damage dealing.
