During the special program for version 3.6, HoYoVerse introduced two new sets of artifacts that will appear in the new Genshin Impact update. The domain to get them will likely be in the new region. Artifacts seem to work in conjunction with Nilou and Baizhu, who will be two of the five-star characters on the banners.
The new Genshin Impact Artifact sets and their effects are:
nymph dream
- 2 piece set: Bonus Hydro Damage +15%
- 4 piece set: After normal, charged and dive attacks, elemental abilities and elemental explosions hit opponents, 1 mirror nymph charge will be triggered, lasting 8 seconds. When under the effect of 1, 2 or 3 or more stacks of Mirror Nymph, ATK will increase by 7/16/25% and Hydraulic Damage will increase by 4/9/15%. Reflected Nymph stacks created by normal, charged, and dipping attacks, elemental abilities, and elemental bursts exist independently.
The Shard of Vourukasha
- 2 piece set: HP +20%
- 4 piece set: Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst DMG will be increased by 10%. After the equipped character takes DMG, the aforementioned DMG bonus is increased by 80% for 5 seconds. This increase in effect can have 5 stacks. The duration of each battery is counted independently. These effects can be activated even when the character equipping them is not on the field.
While these Genshin Impact artifact sets seem to work best for Nilou and Baizhu, the deciding factor will depend on how players actually use them in their parties. For example, Nymph’s Dream seems to work best for a purely Hydro DPS character like Childe. This is because most of Nilou’s potential damage comes from the Bloom effect.
Genshin Impact is available for PS4, PS5, Windows PC and mobile devices. Update 3.6 will arrive on April 12, 2023.
