oncoming comet in Genshin impact - a set of artifacts from the Li Yue region, with a rarity of 4-5⭐. The action of this set is entirely tied to the presence scutellum in a team, which greatly limits the number of teams and heroes that this set will benefit from.
In the guide, we will consider in detail where to get the Oncoming Comet artifact set, which characters it suits, and also what bonuses you can get from it.
Where to find the Counter Comet in Genshin Impact
Artifacts from the Oncoming Comet set drop in the dungeon Archaic Petra.
- 4⭐ artifacts become part of the reward starting from the level Spring III.
- A chance to get a 5⭐ artifact appears on Spring V, but guaranteed (1-2 pieces per 20 resin) drop only on Spring VI.
In addition, after reaching 45 alchemy. Through three get any 5⭐ artifacts one 5⭐ piece from this set.
How does an oncoming comet work?
The Oncoming Comet Artifact Set increases the strength of the shield, as well as the damage of normal and charged attacks of the character protected by the shield.
Thus, you cannot put 2 parts of the set on a shieldman and play on another character with a buff to shield strength. To get a boost, 2 pieces must be on the member of the squad that needs to be provided with the best protection.
Set Bonuses
2 parts: Increases shield strength by 35%.
4 parts: Increases normal and charged attack damage by 40% while protected by a shield.

Who is suitable for the Counter Comet in Genshin Impact
Since the Oncoming Comet bonus for a whole set of artifacts depends on the presence of a shield on the character and increases its durability, it is best suited for heroes who can create it themselves. Otherwise, the presence of a shieldman in the team will be a prerequisite. Also, the 4-piece buff only works on normal and charged attacks, so a full set won't work for characters playing through an elemental skill or ult.
Below is a list of heroes that are well suited to Counter Comet:
- Noelle. A character who can fully use this set, as she will benefit from the bonuses from both parts of the set.
- Bloodstained Chivalry.
- Zhongli or Noelle .
- Hu Tao. The full set takes place, since most of Hu Tao's damage comes from charged attacks. In addition, Hu Tao cannot play with healers due to her mechanics, and a strong shield for her is a matter of survivability.
- Shimenawa’s Reminiscence.
- Ganyu. She will benefit from buffing her charged attacks and often plays with shields.
- Lini. In squads, a shield is desirable for an archer, so if it is available, the set becomes a strong alternative among sets for the charged attack buff.
You can also mark other characters for whom this set is also suitable, but with certain conditions:
- Tartaglia. He often uses normal and charged attacks in his gameplay, so the bonus from the whole set will not be superfluous. However, it requires the presence of a shield in the team, with whom Tartaglia rarely plays.
- Ningguang. For the sake of Geo resonance, she often plays with other shielders of her element - Zhongli or Noel. But keep in mind that a full set will not buff E-shka and ult, which make up a significant part of her damage.
- Tignari. It plays from charged attacks, so it will be happy with the effect of 4 pieces, but the set does not provide bonuses to the ult, and Tignari does not use normal attacks. It can act as a set carrier, but there are better options.
- Lynette. A valid option when a girl is going to be the main damage dealer. In this case, not only is a shield warrior required, but also a sixth constellation so that the damage of normal attacks is colored Anemo.
It is worth considering that there are more suitable sets of artifacts for these characters (see builds).
What artifacts to combine the Oncoming Comet set with
The bonus from the two parts of the set, which gives the strength of the shield and works only on the carrier, is not needed as a separate bonus by almost any of the characters. However, if there are already 2 pieces of the set, they can be used on the main damage dealer in case the shielder in the team is poorly pumped and cannot protect the team well. This will increase the survivability of the main-dd, which will increase the comfort of the game. The remaining two artifacts can be taken any suitable for a particular hero.
We hope our guide helped you figure out who is suitable for the Oncoming Comet in guidesto easily find the best builds for your characters.
What kind of shield does this set work from? From anyone or only from geo?
Because the idea arose to dress Harlequin in it in a squad with Toma (Ts6, yes) Albedo and Yun Jin (Ts6, yes). I want to see how much damage can be accelerated.
Until a main DD appears in the game, hanging shields on himself that buff damage from durability, this set is f***ing unnecessary. There are better alternatives even for Noelle, since she doesn't play for strength
Question for experts from a slowpoke: when I press an elemental attack (E) on Hu Tao and immediately make a charged attack, do the artifacts count this last charged attack as an elemental or charged attack? Will a set of arts work that gives + (something) to a charged attack if you press an elemental attack before the charged one?
Hello! All of Hu Tao's charged attacks under the stance (after pressing E) count as charged attacks only. In her case, the elemental skill simply adds buffs to her attacks rather than replacing their type. So yes, this set and any others that enhance hand attacks work great with Hu Tao :)
If you put a full set on Noelle, and then switch to another character under her shield, will he get the full set boost?
No. The comments say that the set only works on media
shit-network, it turns out ..
That is, 2 pieces work only on the carrier, and 4 pieces work for everyone who is protected by a shield?
Hello! 4 parts also only work on the carrier.
I have been carrying this set on Emochka for more than three months in a row.
At first, my friends spat, they said - farm shimenavu and that’s it, but I didn’t want to sacrifice my ult and energy in general, since my grandfather is already in her pack under the abyss, so I collected the necessary stats and I’m not overjoyed :3
I've never seen the damage norms from Eimiya's ult. So it's not a big loss. And while you wait for your grandfather, you will quickly learn to go through everything without him.
