Flower of Paradise Lost is an Artifact Set inGenshin Impactwhich was introduced during Version 3.3. This set can be obtained throughthe City of Gold domainin Sumeru introduced in the same update alongside the Desert Pavilion Chronicle Set, which has a very different focus for usage.
This artifact set is a direct buff for some relatively new team compositions made possible with the introduction of Dendro, more specifically Bloom-related teams. They’ve been brought to the spotlight with the introduction of Nilou and have many variations that are equally stronger. This set focuses on enabling them.
Genshin Impact – Flower of Paradise Lost Artifact Set Effects
Complete the City of Gold Domain in the Eye of the Sands for obtaining this set. You cannot get it through other means such as Mystic Offering, and each piece you get (if you get one) is completely random.
Bloom is easy to activate with many teams, but Hyperbloom and Burgeon are only activated by inflicting Electro or Pyro, respectively, into a previously created Bloom core. Luckily, some characters that were once considered underwhelming fit this niche perfectly.
Best Characters to Use Flower of Paradise Lost

Thoma was probably one of the most criticized 4-stars when released, but his kit is now ironically everything a Burgeon composition needs. He’ll be the one causing reactions in those teams, so this set is the best possible option out there for him. The extra Elemental Mastery also amps his reaction damage even further.
2 – Kuki Shinobu
Shinobu always had her niche as an Electro healer, but Dendro made her the poster girl for Hyperbloom. Her application and timely healing are perfect for those teams, adding Flower of Paradise Lost as another set she can potentially use. The 2-piece effect even boosts her healing thanks to her Passive and gives her some nice extra damage.
3 – Kokomi
This one’s more complicated as it only works in Nilou teams.The set must be held by the character who’s actually causing the reaction, which will usually beKokomi or the second Hydro character with Nilou (Barbara, Xingqiu, etc)in a regular 2 Hydro – 2 Dendro Nilou Bloom team.
4 – Nahida
Similar to the previous case, Nahida will be the one triggering reactions if you’re going with 3 Hydro – 1 Dendro. In this case, you should also give someone else a Deepwood Memories set for maximizing Bloom damage.
5 – Honorable Mentions
The aforementionedBarbaraorXingqiucan also hold it in Nilou teams, but never give it to Nilou herself as she prefers HP from other sets. Dendro characters in general (Collei, Traveler) will also enjoy it if there’s another person with the Deepwood set in the team.
