Artifact begins to cultivate for Collei

Before building an artifact set for Collei, players take a look at the information provided below:

  • Priority: Energy Recharge> Crit Rate (50%)> Elemental Mastery or Critical Damage
  • Sands: Elemental Mastery / Energy Recharge / ATK%
  • Chalice: Collei makes the most of her elemental blast, so players should obviously opt for the Dendro DMG cup.
  • Headband: To get the damage output, players must always choose the critical rate or critical damage for the circle.

Deepwood Memoirs

  • This is Collei’s best-in-slot artifact set. Since artifact sets like Veridescent Venerer cannot reduce the Dendro RES of enemies using anemo.
  • 2 pieces set: Dendro DAN Bonus + 15%
  • 4-piece set: After the elemental ability or explosion hits opponents, the target’s Res dendro will be reduced by 30% for 8s. This effect can be activated even when the character is not on the field

Sweet dreams

  • Another new set of artifacts is available from the Spire of Solitary Enlightenment domain itself. This set focuses on building Collei with elemental mastery.
  • 2-piece set: Elemental Mastery increased by 80

ATK is increased by 14% for each party member whose Elemental Type is the same as the character equipping it, and Elemental Mastery is increased by 50 for each party member with a different Elemental Type. Each of the aforementioned buffs will count up to 3 characters. This effect can be activated once every 8 s. The character who equips it can still activate its effects when not on the field.

Company of the Vagabond

  • If players fail to get the new artifact set mentioned above, they can use the good old Vagabond Troop set, as it is easily obtainable and can also be exchanged for other artifacts using the Vault of artifacts.
  • 2 pieces set: increases elemental mastery by 80
  • 4-piece set: increases the DMG of the attack being charged by 35% if the character uses a catalyst or a bow
