Fischl has returned as part of the Genshin Impact 2.8 Summer Odyssey and this time she’s the main character and the host to the whole update. Fischl has long been known as a great Electro sub-DPS, physical bow DPS, and even an elemental reaction support unit. With these many builds and versatile gameplays, we’re here to refresh your memory on what her current best artifacts are which includes one of the new artifact sets released in the last few updates.
Understanding Fischl in Genshin Impact
Fischl is a versatile battery electro sub-DPS. She can even play the role of the main DPS with her high-scaling bow attacks. Below are her best artifacts for each build and why.
Sub-DPS or Support Fischl
A sub-DPS or support unit essentially helps the team make stronger attacks and have smoother rotations including providing off-field damage on occasions. Below are her best artifact set for this kind of build:
2pc Gambler’s & 2pc Thundering Fury
This set is perfect for Fischl because the 2 piece Gambler’s bonus increases the damage of her own elemental skill. As for the 2 pieces Thundering Fury, it’s a flat 15% Electro damage bonus. With this artifact set, she’ll deal consistent damage and cause reactions all over the game. The stats one should focus on are Energy Recharge and Elemental Mastery mainly, closely followed by her ATK% and Crit bonuses.
Physical DPS Fischl
While it’s okay to build her purely on the attack, Fischl best shines as a DPS with a physical damage build. As a DPS she has several options to choose from.
Echoes of an Offering
This artifact set was only recently released in the new domain in the Chasm. This set, on its 4pc bonus, almost doubles all of her attacks by flatly buffing her normal attack damage. Its 4pc bonus increases normal attack damage by 70% and with each hit that it doesn’t proc, its likelihood to proc the next hit exponentially increases.
18% ATK Buff & Bloodstained Chivalry
Just about any artifact set with a 2pc bonus of flat 18% ATK and a 2pc artifact for that sweet 25% Physical damage is amazing for Fischl as it makes up for her lacking attack as a 4-star and even gives her a physical damage buff.
Pale Flame
This artifact set’s 4 pc bonus synergizes well with Fischl’s Oz and since this is a physical damage set, her attack numbers only increase. This is the best Physical DMG build for Fischl but it also makes her limited in her usage as Oz’s immense electro damage potential which would also enable reactions is now not a factor in her kit.
Players can of course just decide to mix and match to have her built as an overall character who can function both as a DPS and a sub-DPS and support. This way you don’t have to keep changing your builds every time you enter a new fight and this saves a lot of time.
