Genshin Impact: Best Characters and Artifact Sets for Dragonspine

To people like Albedo (the Chief Alchemist of Mondstadt), Dragonspine is a peaceful and beautiful location. To many others, however, it is a cursed and frigid landscape. Whether you’re going to uncover more of this monstrous mountain’s mysteries or to gather more resources like pine wood (also see our guide on wood-type locations), you can expect a rather difficult journey ahead of you. Here’s a look at the best characters and Artifact sets for Dragonspine in Genshin Impact.

Between the environmental hazards of a frost-covered mountain and the groups of tough enemies built to survive in such an area, we think you’ll want to consider adding some of the suggested characters and/or artifact sets mentioned in this article. Oh, and remember to take a second and breathe in the view when you can!

Dragonspine Exploration Tips

1. Eat the Goulash food dish to cut back on Sheer Cold accumulation.
2. Light both stone and wood torches along your way to give yourself a safe place to rest.
3. Avoid using Hydro characters, otherwise you will spend much of your time being frozen.
4. Include Pyro and Geo characters for elemental advantages, such as Melt or Shatter.
5. Break the red rocks (called Crimson Agate) to gain powers that will postpone Sheer Cold accumulation, light torches with a swing of a sword, or deal Pyro damage upon hitting an enemy.

The Best Characters to Use on Dragonspine

All of our suggested character choices for Dragonspine are either Pyro or Geo characters. The reason for this is simple. The Pyro element melts Cryo enemies and also provides a heat source for torchers. The Geo element, on the other hand, can provide shields to safeguard against the harder enemies, as well as triggering Shatter for extra damage.

Note: Shatter occurs when a frozen enemy is hit by a Geo elemental attack or a claymore and adds extra damage to your attacks that cause it.
