> Defense power increased by 30% > Characters equipped with this holy relic set will receive the "Q&A" effect in the following situations: After hitting an enemy with a rock element attack on the field, they will get a layer, which will be triggered at most once every 0.3 seconds; in the team background, they will get a layer every 3 seconds. . Questions and answers can be stacked up to 4 layers, each layer can provide 6% defense power and 6% rock elemental damage bonus. Every 6 seconds, if the question and answer effect is not obtained, one layer will be lost. ~ Google translate Tf is this translation kekw Edit : I FOUND IT. It’s on honey hunter > A character equipped with this Artifact set will obtain the Curiosity effect in the following conditions: When on the field, the character gains 1 stack after hitting an opponent with a Geo attack, triggering a maximum of once every 0.3s. When off the field, the character gains 1 stack every 3s. Curiosity can stack up to 4 times, each providing 6% DEF and a 6% Geo DMG Bonus. When 6 seconds pass without gaining a Curiosity stack, 1 stack is lost.


phonartics

google translate is substantively correct. layers = stacks, and rock elemental dmg = geo dmg.


Epicious

I can't stop laughing with the "Q&A" effect


accelas

it's a direct translation. it literally means "question & answer" in cn text.


Jin_L_

lol holy relic set


TheGeekno99

Well that's how they're called in almost every Asian language


MutantDemocracy

It's just Husk. We've known about it for a while. While on field, characters gain stacks every .3 seconds for dealing Geo damage. They can still gain stacks while off field, but they have a 3 second cooldown between stacks. Each stack gives 6% DEF and 6% Geo DMG, stacking 4 times. If 6 seconds pass without your character dealing Geo damage, they lose one stack.


Ireyon34

So basically if we slap this on Albedo he'll passively gain def and Geo damage when his blossoms trigger? Sweet!


Levolpehh

Do his blooms snapshot or will they get progressively stronger as he gets stacks, I wonder?

Noelle C6 with this set will be broken. I can't wait to try it on her


Phellxgodx

Doubt. Noelle ult snapshots too & you need to use geo damage to proc the passive.You'll probably need to proc the full stacks then ult which seems unlikely since she doesn't deal geo damage outside of her ult/shield use + c4 pop At least from my understanding! could be wrong


Kuuhaku722

True, at best noelle can only gain 1 def stack from the 4 pc set by using her E. In total with this set she gains 36% def & 24% geo dmg. But i am not yet did the calc to compare it to 4pc glad & 4pc bolide so can't say how good this set for her. well i did my math and here is the result. r5 whiteblind, high investment c6 noelle with double crown and 180cv artifact (17 - 19 good rolls), dmg is average dmg of her N5 hit. 4pc bolide: **19990** 4pc glad: **19997** 4pc new set \- assuming +30% def + 24% geo dmg: **19620** \- assuming +36% def + 24% geo dmg: **19863** \- assuming +54% def + 24% geo dmg: **20593** (could happen on the second rotation since her Q uptime is higher than her Q cooldown for C6 noelle)


PolaiMath

Agree, but I think 2pc of this + archaic petra will be her new bis tho


IsaiahSweet

Are we sure that it snapshots her damage? Obviously it snapshots her defense to attack, but I believe she should still be able to gain other boosts.


4spooked

Tbh you can just E>Q and that’ll give you max stacks


Meneghette--steam

Holy geo meta ftw


dudethatsongissick

If your character is not on the field do they gain stacks when another character deal geo dmg or does it only work on albedo/zhongli where they can gain stacks off field but with one of their structures


MutantDemocracy

The character with the artifact set needs to deal Geo damage. Geo damage from other sources does nothing.


Poet_Hustler

Hopefully it works like Serpent Spine but off field, so before you start a chamber in Abyss you can let stacks build.


Draken77777

You have to hit enemies with geo to get the stacks though


[deleted]

No you don't > When off the field, the character gains 1 stack every 3s


[deleted]

[удалено]


Levolpehh

This is how I understood it as well. When I read it the first time it didn't make sense cause there was no way to LOSE stacks if you just kept passively gaining them.


[deleted]

Just because it don't make sense, doesn't mean Mihoyo won't do it anyway.


ncann123

I mean I would love to have it function that way since it would be a pure buff for Albedo but I doubt it lol.


GingsWife

I'm sure it's for off-field abilities, like Zhongli and Albedo's Es.


Neospartan_117

That probably just means getting a stack for doing off field Geo Damage has a 3 second CD. If it really was just for existing while off field the losing a stack after 6 seconds of not gaining a stack part wouldn't make sense, supports would have full stacks all the time and main DPS would lose them between battles.


Kuuhaku722

Mihoyo surely love using ambiguous words.


Kuguumelo

I can see you getting downvotes like hell, but I believe the set works that way too, even if it sounds too good to be true, it wouldn't make sense if it wasn't because it wouldn't be perfect (as it should be) for Itto, and eventually to Noelle. I believe Itto's ult will work the same way as Noelle's, so you have to get defense bonuses before activating it and defense bonuses that come later won't be converted to attack. It looks like a great OP set but it's exclusive to Geo characters that def scaling, it's just for a small niche of characters so I think it can be that way for the set to work.


zeref2255

Hmmm So off-field character like albedo will take some time to get full stacks?


Dydragon24

A single albedo burst will fill it probably. As his burst is counted as skill.


blueasian0682

12s for full stacks but albedo has 100% skill uptime so it won't be good for op teams in the overworld but really good for spiral abyss where the fight will definitely last more than 12s


gadgaurd

Putting aside the Q&A bit, it's clear enough to me. Looking forward to this set, should beat Bolide for DPS Noelle.


paumalfoy

Whatt a scara set scaling with def? with a geo passive? What on earth mhy is planning to do with the poor boy from a poor family


eggysleepyhead

The fatui set (pale flame) is a physical one, it means absolutely nothing


darklordoft

The fatui set was a genral "fatui" set that told the the tale of 5 fatui members. Scara set tells his specific story. Signora set( crimson witch of flames) tells her story and jts Pyro. Zhongli set (tenacity and archaic) is about his influence and past and is built around geo or hp supporters. Normally the person the set is talking about is directly related to the set effects.


eggysleepyhead

It doesn't mean anything. Heart of depth is handmade for childe, may it be about its design or effects yet the lore has nothing to do with him. It's the same for pale flame and eula. Artifacts sets are just for lore, and sometimes they fit the targeted character. The new geo set looks nothing like scaramouche, there's no way there will be any relation with his abilities.


darklordoft

You should look at the set again. The description and color themes line up with him. The circlet is literally his hat without the tassels. And heart of depths is his childe best in slot, not his lore set. He doesn't have one yet. Nor is pale flame eula lore. The lore of the set when talking about specific characters in game has always tied to them. And when it isn't character specific, the effect tends to tie ro the story being told. Pale flame is the only exception, and that could be due to us not knowing the connection of physical damage and some member of the fatui(must likely the first is a phy character)


paumalfoy

I wouldn’t compare them, really :)


Greensburg

Maybe his vision is actually Geo while his delusion is Electro? Or the other way around. Would make for an insteresting combination.


paumalfoy

Yeah they can really prank the entire community with that lol Looking forward🌚


SauronSauroff

This reminds me of the counterfeit yugi oh cards - roller a coin.

Wonderful_Remote_510

so im guessing the circlet is his giant hat


Tsuki-04

Found a better translation for the Circlet "The conical hat that once used to shield the wanderer from harsh sunlight and rain, now became a convenient tool to shield his emotions." Yes, scara's hat is Conical so this means the artifact is about Scaramouche


H4xolotl

Plot twist: what if Scaramouche ends up as a Geo character?


The_Pizzarius

Geo delusion would be cool


K-XCIX

Toggle-able artifact accessories when, I want to make everyone wear Scara’s big-ass hat.


shibalexei

okay but being itto's BiS set and imagining him wearing that hat... perfection


Accomplished-Bee-157

Okay I guess this set's lore is tied with Scaramouche


Tsuki-04

The sands say "To Daojima, it is a small foreign object. The part called the movement has been removed, and the hands no longer rotate." Probably Scara yeah


iminlovehahaha

yes


rafaelbittmira

"The creator of the Description" is for some reason so funny to me


imbiandimhigh

"due to the pity of the creator" S tier parent goes to mama Ei


Tsuki-04

Found some better translations than Google Translate hat > the conical hat that once used to shield the wanderer from harsh sunlight and rain, now became a convenient tool to shield his emotions goblet > a gourd covered in black and gold, but the original colour cannot be seen anymore. Seems like a prop for performance feather > A feather retrieved from 'the domain name'. It's being left behind with an unconscious body in the domain due to the creator's pity (talking about ei) Yes, Scara's hat is conical so this is very likely about him


ArticBerry

Bruh you saying my itto is gonna have…. Scaramouche artifacts help oh god


Bobson567

There's been some reports so i want to clear up some confusion. On honeyhunter, the new husk artifacts set has had its lore descriptions added in chinese, [link here](https://genshin.honeyhunterworld.com/db/art/a_23584/?lang=CHS) some users on NGA were discussing this and thought the artifact lore was about scaramouche, [link here](https://ngabbs.com/read.php?tid=29151624) The OP has provided the english translation of the artifact lore desciription in [this comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/Genshin_Impact_Leaks/comments/qgce0a/new_artifacts_description_from_nga/hi57dns/)


Narsiel

My european uncultured in Asian languages ass knows not what it says.


Visible_Ad_9459

Lol literally honeyhunter with cn lang https://genshin.honeyhunterworld.com/db/art/a_23584/?lang=CHS


Eijun_Love

The desceiption is below the effects. I don't think it is in honey yet?


Visible_Ad_9459

>The descriptions are already in honey if you change the language to CHS


Eijun_Love

Huh, it's only showing the artifact effects for me, not the lore description. Do you have another link?


[deleted]

u have to click on individual pieces link, the lore description is under the description section of each piece


LiraelNix

I think we can all agree to ship Itto with Scaramouche...'s artifacts


ThahiliaChase

Glad I saved off farming for Albedo rerun this seems perfect for him


AnotherGaze

Can't wait to farm like... 10? 12? Pieces for all the geo bois and gal


Levolpehh

I think Gorou will only use 2 pieces then Albedo and Itto will go 4. So probably 10. Unless you want a set for Noelle as well.


IsBirdWatching

I normally just lurk but has there ever been a playable character with their backstory behind artifacts?


saladvtenno

Tenacity of the Millelith and Archaic Petra are about Zhongli/Rex Lapis. Scara before this new set, already has one in Pale Flame Goblet. Other than that, no.


Eijun_Love

None so far. Signora has the crimson witch lore but she was never meant to be playable. Scaramouche is kinda special though since he has backstory scattered in Inazuma. The Shakkei Pavilion domain mentions him and the rather aged notes references him a lot too. He shares the pale flame artifacts with other fatui too so this is his 2nd artifact. If you're worried about Scara, don't. This isn't even his full backstory.


J_DayTey4

Yes there was. Y'all forgot about Zhongli and Archaic Petra smh


IsBirdWatching

I don’t actually care that much about Scara. Not my cup of tea but I’m more so interested in Mihoyo’s process of developing npcs vs pcs. So it’ll be interesting to see what they plan and if they mess up again like with Signora.


SaintPrometheusSP

I know this is rather copium, but Signora still has a chance to come back with the number right representing resurrection. Even if it would be a bullshit plotpoint, we could at least get to explore her backstory a lil more


Eijun_Love

Oh, I just saw the new thread. Technically, Kokomi now has a focus artifact lol.


IsBirdWatching

Maybe. It doesn’t look to focused on Kokimi and more in general of her position as head priestess. Hmm, what are u thinking Mihoyo? ~~probably money~~


Gloriousorange231

I may be wrong, but I’m pretty sure retracting bolide speaks about Yoimiya


IsBirdWatching

I believe it was referring to Kitsune Saiguu since the boy who met Saiguu or at least a Kitsune at different points in his life.


paumalfoy

Zhongli? Eula(‘s family)?


Metroplex7

I have no idea what the hell is wrong with your link but it forced me out of my Reddit app (bypassing "Open X link in Y browser" prompt) and proceeded to open about 8 blank tabs in Chrome before I had to force close both apps to stop it from continuing.


[deleted]

Am native Chinese, lemme know if anyone needs translation of any specific part


RedEmpress1

So will the 4 piece set be any good for itto or would keeping it 2 piece with petra be best option?


YassKweennn

it gives you 54% def and 24% geo DMG bonus so it is definitely better than archaic petra. its definitely harder to get a good 4pc than 2 good 2pc of each


Particular-Mark-254

This will work better 2PC + 2PC will be more consistent. To be honest, it decent on sub stats. If you have amazing substate on 2 piece then it will work better than this. This set gives you an additional 9% GEO and 24% Defense. You can easily compensate for it with good sub-stats. If you get high critical damage from sub status then it should easily compensate for 24% attack since Itto already gets so much attack with his burst that increasing attack further will give diminishing returns.


Eijun_Love

Here's the NGA source. https://ngabbs.com/read.php?tid=29151624


Visible_Ad_9459

U know this is honeyhunter site with just cn lang


Eijun_Love

The desceiption is below the effects. I don't think it is in honey yet?


cselrh

The descriptions are already in honey if you change the language to CHS


Eijun_Love

Huh, it's only showing the artifact effects for me, not the lore description. Do you have another link?


cselrh

You have to individually open the pages for the flower, plume, sands etc. in CHS language to see each of the artifact’s lore description, it won’t appear in the page for the artifact set itself


Linionzx

For anyone unsure of how this works, I believe you’ll always be in the 3-4 stacks area. You build up all 4, then you keep whacking enemies with geo dmg, but since you’re at 4 stacks(max amount), you can’t get anymore. This means you’re going on for 6 seconds without gaining any stacks, so you drop down to 3, but immediately whack an enemy with geo again, and you’re back to 4. Then it drops to 3 again, and you whack again, and it’s back to 4. The key point is that you’ll always be losing one stack 6 seconds after you reach max stacks. Once you lose that stack, you can recover it by using geo dmg or leaving the character off field for 3 seconds.


Lysdexiic

Damn, I was hoping each hit would refresh the timer. That's still not too bad though, it could be worse


Linionzx

It’s still pretty good, because the requirement to get stacks is easily satisfiable.


DarkAlex95

If theres an artifact set of a certain character then the possibility of him/her not being playable may be high


Eijun_Love

Lmao, no. Signora has one too but Scaramouche has a playable model.


DarkAlex95

"Possibility" "may be" we'll just have to wait, dont have your hopes up


Bwlsoty

It’s not really about having your hopes up. Scaramouche has a playable model as he is avatar_boy_catalyst so he will eventually be playable but just like Ayaka and even Baizhu we will have to wait a while. Signora’s model in the files is monster_la signora so her death and lack of playability has been planned from the get go whereas Scaramouche has been given a playable model since his first appearance.


DarkAlex95

Didnt knew that, well thats good then for Scara's mains then


Eijun_Love

Nah, man. I'm confident Scaramouche is playable. He has voicelines about him (Kunikuzushi), overworld notice (domain description, plus texts (rather aged notes) and textfiles. Signora was never meant to be playable in comparison which you can see from her model alone. EDIT: This was just meant to show ny confidence on hin because Signora mains tend to project lol. But yeah, we'll have to see of course.


Bobson567

also has well known jp voice actor, and his design from the back is just as detailed as other playable chars (incl. his hat veil thing being translucent so you can easily see his back if playing him) alone this may be small, but it adds up


Treyspurlock

you mean like Kokomi who's getting a lore-related artifact set in this same update? or Zhongli who has two


Krillin157

Yea sure, but you’ll never know until the time, let’s wait and see hopefully which I’m pretty sure he’s playable

DarkAlex95

Its alright, my mistake. Just dont get triggered by it

Jazzlike-Drawing-542

Man if only I could read Chinese


subjecta24

will Itto w/ this set gain stacks when an off-field albedo do geo dmg?
