On-Field DPS Set for Natlan Characters

Similar to Fontaine's Marechausee Hunter set, this artifact benefits on-field characters who can use Natlan's main combat mechanic, Nightsoul's Blessing. This set allows you to stack more CRIT DMG as a result of getting an easy 40% CRIT Rate.

However, Natlan characters are the only one who can use its full effects as there are no characters yet who are able to give Nightsoul's Blessing to anyone who are not from Natlan.

Mualani	• An on-field Hydro DPS who triggers Vaporize to deal damage to enemies. • She accumulates and uses Nightsoul's Blessing while riding and attacking with her waveboard. • This set fits Mualani perfectly.
Kinich	• His Elemental Skill is likely fueled by Nightsoul Points, which allows Kinich to benefit from the 40% bonus CRIT Rate perfectly. • Kinich's Elemental Skill puts him in Nightsoul's Blessing, giving him a free 15% damage increase from this artifact's 2-piece passive.
