Okay, so I’ve been messing around with Childe, trying to figure out the best way to boost his Elemental Mastery. I’ve heard a lot of talk, so I decided to just dive in and see what works best for me.

My Experiment Setup
First, I got Childe to level 90, just to make sure he’s got his base stats maxed out. Then, I grabbed a few different artifact sets that people usually recommend:
- Wanderer’s Troupe: Everyone says this is good for the 2-piece bonus.
- Gilded Dreams: Another one that pops up a lot for EM.
- Flower of Paradise Lost: I saw this one mentioned a few times, figured I’d give it a shot.
- Instructor:This an easy 4 star set.
I made sure to have a few pieces from each set with Elemental Mastery as the main stat. I’m talking Goblets, Sands, Circlets – the whole shebang. My weapon is Stringless,I think it maybe the best option. I didn’t spend too much time comparing weapons because I’m really focused on the artifacts right now.
Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3
So, I started by slapping on a full 4-piece Wanderer’s Troupe. My EM was okay, but it didn’t feel like anything special. I ran some domains, fought some bosses, and kept track of my reaction damage (mostly Vaporize, since that’s what Childe is good at).
Then I switched to a 2-piece Wanderer’s and a 2-piece Gilded Dreams. This felt better. My EM was definitely higher, and I could see a noticeable difference in the Vaporize numbers. It wasn’t a HUGE jump, but it was there.
Next, I tried the 2-piece Wanderer’s and 2-piece Flower of Paradise Lost. Honestly, I didn’t notice much of a difference compared to the Gilded Dreams combo. Maybe I need to test it more, but it felt pretty similar.

Last I tried the 4-piece Instructor.I noticed a good difference in the Vaporize numbers!Because it can buff 120 EM to all party!I think this a very powerful set!
My (Current) Conclusion
Right now, I’m leaning towards the 2-piece Wanderer’s Troupe and 2-piece Gilded Dreams, Or 4-piece Instructor. But I think the best choose is * gave me the best balance of EM and overall *’s also cheap for me! I’m still gonna play around with things, though. I might try mixing and matching other sets, or maybe even try a full 4-piece Gilded Dreams if I can get some really good pieces. I found a new idea that using the Instructor set.
It’s all about experimenting and finding what works best for your playstyle and your team. Don’t just blindly follow what everyone else says – get in there and try things out yourself!
