Artifact sets in “The End of Sin”
When clearing the dungeon in question, you have a chance to loot items from the following sets:
| Title | Bonuses |
|---|---|
Little miracle | 2 pieces: increases resistance to all elements by 20%. 4 pieces: when receiving elemental damage, increases resistance to a given element by 30% for 10 seconds. The effect appears once every 10 seconds. |
< /p> Warrior | 2 pieces: Increases damage from normal and charged attacks by 15%. 4 pieces: Increases damage from charged and normal strikes by 25% for 8 seconds after using an elemental skill. |
Night whisper in the forest of responding echoes | 2 items: 18% buff to attack power. 4 items: gives a 20% bonus to Geo damage for 10 seconds after pressing the E-shka. If a hero picks up a shard from Crystallization and receives a protective barrier, the enhancement effect increases to 150% and disappears 1 second after losing the shield. |
| < p>
Song of Old Times | 2 items: 15% buff to heal. 4 items: when an equipped hero heals allied units, the “Aspiration” effect is activated within 6 seconds, remembering the entire amount of treatment received (but not more than +15 thousand to HP). After timing, the effect is converted into “Waves of Old Times”: absolutely any attacks of the active hero receive a buff of 8% of the total amount of previously calculated healing. The boost lasts up to 5 times or disappears after ten seconds of use. The “Aspiration” condition does not stack, but is capable of remembering the heal of several allies at once and does not require a hero equipped with the set to be on the battlefield. |
Recommended commands for “City of Thunderstorms”
It is worth noting that the enemies in the dungeon are not characterized by increased complexity or problematic rotation of attacks. When entering the dungeon, you are recommended to take Geo elemental characters, which goes well with the anomaly, but almost any leveled up heroes can cope without it.
Suitable heroes
In Thunder City, you will encounter elemental creatures that are completely immune to their elements. Therefore, the best choice would be Anemo, Geo or Dendro dd + heroes with predominantly physical damage. Some enemies in the dungeon also have a special bar of durability, which can be removed by supports with fire attacks.
Examples of squads
In order to easily defeat all the mobs in the dungeon, we recommend that you consider joining a squad the following combinations of heroes:
< th scope="col">Sub-DD/Support
| Main-DD | Sub-DD | Support | |
|---|---|---|---|
Navia |
Albedo (Yun Jin) |
Xing Qiu |
Volumes |
Tignari |
Nahida (Collei) |
Fischl |
Cookies |
Ning Guang |
Xiang Ling |
Keya |
Sucrose |
Eimiya |
Ye Lan |
Yun Jin |
Kazuha |
Nevillet |
Furina |
Xiang Ling |
Bai Zhu |
Al-Haytham |
Nahida |
Kokomi |
Kazuha |
Kokomi |
Raiden |
Ye Lan |
Colleys |
Eola |
Diona |
Yun Jin |
Zhong Li |
Keep in mind that the main criterion for success will be the high level of your squad members (if there are no heroes convenient for you on the list, this does not mean that they are not suitable for the test). Characters can be combined with each other, and preference is best given to those who deal area damage and hit a group of enemies (supports with a screed are also suitable here). Units of the fire element will serve you well, helping to reduce the stability of foreign enemies.
How to complete “City of Thunderstorms”
You are given 5 minutes to complete the dungeon, and the battle consists of two stages: in the first, most of the enemies are slimes, and in the second, foreign mobs appear.
Try not to forget about crowd control and dungeon buff (this is if you took Geo and Anemo heroes into your squad). As mentioned above, the enemies in Thunder City aren't difficult, especially if your squad doesn't rely entirely on elemental damage. Do not form monopacks with Pyro, Cryo or Electro characters, and then the passage will not cause any special problems. Watch out for the slimes that start performing a fall attack – there are several of them in the level and if each one starts knocking the heroes down, it can be disorienting.
