Retracing Bolide Set Effects

Effects Summary
• Increase Shield Strength.
• Normal and Charged Attack DMG increase when shielded.

Good for Defensive Characters

The Retracing Bolide set provides a solid shield buff and allows defensive characters more offensive flexibility.

Increases Normal and Charged Attack DMG when Shielded

When equipped with four sets of Retracing Bolide, normal and heavy attack damage when shielded is increased by 40%. It's an excellent fit for characters like Noelle and Xinyan, who can fight with their shields up for extended periods of time.

The set effect can still be activated even if a character other than the equipping character grants a shield; therefore, characters without shield skills can still utilize the artifact.
