Festering Desire Gameplay & Tips
Boosted Elemental Skill
Festering Desire increases the user's Skill DMG & its CRIT Rate which is great for sub DPS & support characters. The Energy Recharge sub-stat is useful for improving the user's capabilities in combat.
Pair With Recommended Artifacts
EOSF For Increased Burst Damage
Since Festering Desire has an ER sub-stat, it is great to pair it with EOSF since this artifact provides additional ER and also increases the user's Burst DMG based on the total ER.
Emblem Of Severed Fate Set Location & DomainNoblesse Oblige For ATK Buff
On the other hand, Noblesse Oblige can increase the user's Burst DMG by percentage and also provide the team with ATK buff. While the ATK buff is beneficial for everyone in the team, remember that the Noblesse Oblige ATK buff does not stack.
