Genshin Impact 4.6 Leaks: New Artifact Could Change How You Play Dendro

A new Artifact set mentioned in 4.6 leaks may significantly change the way players use Dendro in battle, and can even affect the current meta team comps in the game at the moment.

By triggering Burning and then hitting opponents afflicted by the Reaction, players can use the Elemental Mastery bonuses to trigger other more powerful
