Deepwood Memories is essential for any player looking to optimize their Dendro teams, providing both direct damage increase and a valuable debuff that benefits the whole team's Dendro damage output.
Here’s a detailed breakdown:
Artifact Set Bonuses:
•2-Piece Set: Increases Dendro Damage Bonus by 15%.
•4-Piece Set: After Elemental Skills or Bursts hit opponents, the targets' Dendro Resistance is decreased by 30% for 8 seconds. This effect can be triggered even when the equipping character is not on the field.
How to Obtain:
•Domain: You can farm this set in the Spire of Solitary Enlightenment domain, located in Sumeru’s Avidya Forest. The domain involves battling enemies with a Ley Line Disorder that increases the damage dealt by enemies, making the challenge a bit tougher.
•Artifact Strongbox: Similar to other sets, you can craft an Artifact Strongbox at any crafting bench to get a random piece of Deepwood Memories by sacrificing three 5-star artifacts.
Best Characters for the Set:
•Dendro Main DPS or Sub-DPS: Characters who primarily deal Dendro damage or are central to Dendro reaction teams benefit most from this set:
▪Alhaitham can significantly boost his own damage output with this set.
▪Nahida can make use of the 4-piece effect to debuff enemies for her teammates.
▪Tighnari for his Dendro bow attacks.
•Versatile Off-Field Characters: Even if they don't deal Dendro damage themselves, characters who can apply Dendro or benefit from the resistance shred can use this set:
▪Kokomi or Xingqiu in a team where Dendro reactions are key, to reduce enemy Dendro resistance.
Notes:
1.The 4-piece effect of Deepwood Memories is unique in that it provides a significant debuff to enemy Dendro resistance, making it one of the best sets for maximizing Dendro damage in teams.
2.Since the resistance reduction can be triggered off-field, this set is ideal for characters who might not always be on the field but contribute to Dendro reactions.
3.Combining this set with characters that have high Elemental Mastery or those who can trigger reactions like Bloom, Quicken, Aggravate, or Spread can make teams extremely effective, especially in scenarios where Dendro damage is crucial.
4.The set does not grant Elemental Mastery like some other Dendro-focused sets (e.g., Flower of Paradise Lost), so you might need to compensate for that with weapons or other artifacts if EM is part of your team strategy.
