Genshin Impact 4.3: Nighttime Whispers Set Guide and Best Geo Characters

The new artifact set "Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods," introduced in Genshin Impact 4.3, is tailored for attack-focused Geo characters. This article will provide an analysis of the set and recommend characters suitable for its use.

I. Artifact Set Analysis

"Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods" has two main conditions: ① Trigger the Elemental Skill within 10 seconds; ② Increase damage by 150% under the protection of a shield. When both conditions are met, wearing the set provides an 18% Attack bonus and a 50% Geo Damage bonus.

Total Geo Damage bonus provided:

This new artifact set can further enhance the performance of Geo characters that benefit from increased Attack, but it is not suitable for Geo characters in the support role. Compared to the traditional 2 Geo + 2 Attack/Defense sets, the new "Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods" set offers an improvement of approximately 10-15%. For players without the Retracing Bolide set, this set's mechanisms involving the Elemental Skill trigger and shield protection are relatively straightforward.

II. Recommended Characters for the Set

1、Navia:

This set of artifacts is exclusive to Navia, making it a must-have for players focusing on developing Navia.

2、Ningguang:

As a graduation set for Ningguang, the traditional 2+2 set has more restrictions, but the new set provides a more comprehensive improvement for Ningguang. After using the combat skill to pass through the door, she will also enjoy a 12% Geo Damage bonus, totaling up to 62%.

3、Noelle:

Although Noelle can also use this set, it is slightly weaker than the "Hua Guan Set" because this character is more suitable for prioritizing defense. Losing 54% of defense power and 24% of Geo Damage may have a negative impact on her effectiveness. If you haven't obtained the "Hua Guan Set" yet, consider using "Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods" as a transitional set.

4、Arataki Ito:

Simply use the "Hua Guan Set" directly; there's no need to consider switching to a new set.

Conclusion: The new "Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods" artifact set provides a fresh option for Geo characters focused on increased Attack. Characters like Ningguang and Noelle can significantly benefit from this set, enhancing their overall output. However, players should choose whether to switch to this set based on their specific circumstances and consider the overall team composition.

Note: The above analysis is preliminary, and the actual effectiveness should be confirmed through in-game testing. We hope this new artifact set brings diverse tactical choices for adventurers.
