2-Piece Effect While the equipping character is in Nightsoul's Blessing and is on the field, their DMG dealt is increased by 15%.
4-Piece Effect After the equipping character consumes 1 Nightsoul point while on the field, CRIT Rate increases by 40% for 6s. This effect can trigger once every second.

On-Field DPS Set for Natlan Characters

The Obsidian Codex artifact set 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.

Not recommended for sub dps mavuika because this crap doesn't work off field, it only works on field which means mavuika will just apply a non critting e skill

I think there's a bug with this set where if all of your pieces are OC, the Crit Rate buff won't proc.
