3. Support build: Wanderer’s Troupe and Gilded Dreams
Wanderer's Troupe is an Artifact Set available at 4-star and 5-star rarities which can be obtained from Bosses at World Level 2.
The 2-Piece Bonus of Wanderer’s Troupe increases Elemental Mastery by 80 and its 4-Piece Bonus increases Charged Attacks by 35% if the character uses a catalyst or a bow.
This build is perfect for Spiral Abyss since you can recharge energy really fast for Elemental Reactions to surpass Spiral Abyss’ floors successfully.
This build excels in:
- For Nahida, this set will increase Elemental Reactions and her attacks, so she’s a perfect DPS with this one and a perfect support.
- Since this set just increases Elemental Reactions’ DMG, you can’t really deal DMG with normal attacks. So, we recommend focusing on those reactions more than attacking with normal attacks.
- Since this set is focused on reactions, it’s perfect for big bosses or Abyss. In these places, elemental reactions are very important because they’re what deal more DMG!
