First up, the passive from the two-piece Penacony, Land of the Dreams, increases the Energy Recharge of the equipping character by 5%. It further boosts DMG for all other allies with the same DMG type as the wearer by 10%.

The set will greatly benefit support units that share the same element with the DPS. In fact, use it on Tingyun in a mono-Lightning setup or Yukong in a mono-Imaginary setup to boost the damage of the entire team. Even Silver Wolf is an ideal candidate if you are running her with Seele as the ornament passive, which will greatly increase the damage potential of the latter.

In contrast, the Firmament Frontline: Glamoth set offers 12% ATK to the wearer. The bonus effect further increases the wielder’s DMG by 12% or 18% if their SPD is equal to or higher than 135 or 160, respectively.

Any DPS character like Imbibitor Lunae and Seele that utilizes high speed or has the attribute built into their kit can benefit from the second ornament.
