Description

• 2-Piece Set Bonus: Gain a 15% Geo DMG Bonus.
• 4-Piece Set Bonus: Upon obtaining an Elemental Shard created through a Crystallize Reaction, all party members gain a 35% DMG Bonus for that particular element for 10s. Only one form of Elemental DMG Bonus can be gained in this manner at any one time.

Findings

• The 4-Piece set bonus requires you to pick up the shard with the set holder.
• Shards generated by Geovishap Hatchings don't activate the the 4-Piece set bonus.

Blizzard Strayer

Description

• 4-Piece Set Bonus: When a character attacks an opponent affected by Cryo, their CRIT Rate is increased by 20%. If the opponent is Frozen, CRIT Rate is increased by an additional 20%.

Findings

• The 4-Piece set bonus does not snapshot. The CRIT Rate increase is Dynamic, and changes your CRIT Rate in real time.
• The 4-Piece set bonus does not apply on the hit that applies Frozen.
• Enemies with the “Frozen” aura do not count as “being Frozen” for the 4-Piece set bonus. They need to be literally Frozen. Otherwise, it will be treated as just a Cryo aura, and you get only 20% CRIT Rate.
• Blizzard Strayer gives CRIT Rate buff to reactions that would remove the Cryo/Frozen from the enemy.

• Stacks are maintained after swapping characters.
• A stack is still gained even if the player is interrupted during Elemental Skill cast.
• Ending a continuous Hold Skill (Sayu or Yelan hE as examples) by tapping E is considered "Using an Elemental Skill" for the sake of the 4-Piece set bonus. Letting the Skill end naturally does not.

Description

• 2-Piece Set Bonus: Dendro DMG Bonus +15%.

• 4-Piece Set Bonus: When Normal Attacks hit opponents, there is a 36% chance that it will trigger Valley Rite, which will increase Normal Attack DMG by 70% of ATK. This effect will be dispelled 0.05s after a Normal Attack deals DMG. If a Normal Attack fails to trigger Valley Rite, the odds of it triggering the next time will increase by 20%. This trigger can occur once every 0.2s.

Findings

• The Flat DMG is not limited to single-target (works in AoE).
• It uses total ATK (as expected) including buffs from Bennett, 4-Piece Noblesse, and ATK from weapon passives.
• Hit registration occurs before evidence of it in the animation.
• The effect can be shared with subsequent attacks as long as they fit in the 0.05 second interval.
• Echoes will stack even when holder's Normal Attacks deal 0 damage.
• The 4-Piece effect triggers around 50.2% of the time in theory assuming the set works exactly as written.
• Trigger rate appears to fall off a little bit after 100-110 ping.
• Further data that could point to the set working as intended but be subject to ping/possibly low FPS/character multi-hits quick enough to take advantage of the lag between server and client (like Zhongli, or indicates that his spearkick is simply working differently compared to other multi-hits).
• It can trigger the buff off-field, but does not gain stacks off-field.
• Ayato's second slash and first C6 strike seem to be linked. If the second slash is buffed by Echoes, the first C6 strike is also buffed. In turn, if the second slash is not buffed, the first strike will not be buffed either.
• Kazuha's 2-hit N3 is "not linked" but his 3-hit N5 is "linked". For more information see this Vault Entry.
• The set works weirdly with Tartaglia, for more information see this Vault Entry.
• How Tartaglia's N1 and N2 hits trigger Echoes differs depending on the tester. For more information see this Vault Entry.
• How Yoimiya's N1 hits trigger Echoes differs depending on range.
• How Zhongli's spearkick hits trigger Echoes differs depending on the tester. For more information see this Vault Entry.
• Zhongli's spearkick combos can fail to proc Echoes after 7, 8, or even 9 hits.
• For more testing results with Zhongli, see the following Vault Entries:
  • Potade#9775
  • Xreejan#1180
  • Latiwings#3308

• The 4-Piece set holder has to be active on-field to benefit from the cooldown reduction effect.
• Regarding how Electro-Charged works with 4TF, If the 4-Piece set bonus is not on cooldown (0.8s), then the set bonus is not hampered by Electro-Charged’s 1 second ICD.
