Genshin Impact version 4.3 will include two new artifact sets

2 new Artifact sets are available for players to obtain during the 4.3 update. These are:

Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods
Song of Days Past

Nighttime Whispers in the Echoing Woods is an ideal set to use for boosting DPS Geo users. The 2-piece set provides a +18 ATK boost, and the 4-piece has wielders gain a +20% Geo DMG Bonus for 10s. While under a shield granted by the Crystallize reaction, the above effect will be increased by 150%, and this additional increase disappears 1s after that shield is lost.

Song of Days Past is a set for Healers in the game. The 2-piece set provides a +15% Healing Bonus. The 4-piece set creates the Yearning effect for 6s when the user heals another character – which records the total amount of healing provided (including overflow healing). When the duration expires, the Yearning effect will be transformed into the Waves of Days Past effect: When your active party member hits an opponent with an attack, the DMG dealt will be increased by 8% of the total healing amount recorded by the Yearning effect.

A single instance of the Yearning effect can record up to 15,000 healing
