Understand Martial Artist
Useful when…
- Normal and Charged Attack focused play
- Early equipment for attack strings after Skill use
Bonuses and timing
Two pieces increase Normal and Charged Attack DMG by 15%. Four pieces increase those attack types by 25% for 8 seconds after the wearer uses an Elemental Skill. The four-piece effect is triggered by Skill use, not by Burst use.
Practical use
The two-piece bonus is always tied to Normal and Charged Attacks, while the four-piece bonus adds a timed window after Skill use. Make use of those attack types during the 8-second window to benefit from the added effect. Plunging Attacks are not named in either bonus.
Related attack sets
Heart of Depth has a similar Skill-triggered Normal and Charged Attack bonus, but it also grants Hydro DMG from two pieces and its four-piece bonus lasts 15 seconds at 30%. Nymph's Dream instead builds ATK and Hydro DMG bonuses after listed attacks and ability hits. These sets have distinct elemental and trigger conditions.
Limitations and tradeoffs
- The four-piece attack bonus lasts 8 seconds after Skill use.
- Neither listed bonus covers Plunging Attacks.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Expecting the four-piece effect to trigger from an Elemental Burst.
- Counting Plunging Attacks as Normal or Charged Attack damage for these bonuses.
