Main features of Song of Days Past

How to get the Song of Old Times

You can get this set after completing the dungeon Achievement: Challenger "City of Thunderstorms". This dungeon is located on Mount Mon Atoneki on the eastern side. It is also a farming kit location "Night Whispers in the Forest of Echoes".

4-star rarity items can drop at any level. To get the rarer 5-star variants, you need to complete the dungeon Achievement: Challenger on difficulty III or IV. You can get into them only after reaching adventure rank 40 and 45, respectively.

Set Bonuses

Two things Give their wearer a 15% healing bonus.
In the presence of four items, when the wearer heals his allies, a special effect occurs. It records all treatments, including excess treatments. After 6 seconds, this status disappears, and all squad members earn a bonus to all methods of dealing damage in the amount of 8% of the healing received. The buff disappears after 5 hits or 10 seconds. In this way, up to 15 thousand units of restored health can be recorded.

Please note that this bonus does not apply to reactions second order, for example, to budding. Also, after 6 seconds, absolutely all damage instances receive a buff. In this way, even those attacks that are not designed to inflict large damage, for example, the healer’s skill, which he uses to heal allies, can be strengthened.

Set characteristics

Different parts of the set will have different basic characteristics, determined randomly. The exceptions are flower and feather, since their main stats will always be flat HP and ATK, respectively. Below you will see exactly which items from this set you can get.

The images below indicate how the stats of certain 4- and 5-star items will change as they are upgraded.

How to upgrade Song of Old Times

To unlock the full potential of any artifact, you need to level it up. This happens in the menu of each individual item when going to the improvement section.

To upgrade relics, you can use special items such as sacred oil or essence. They are purchased from Pukhlyash in Teapot. They are also rewards for some events. In addition, other relics are used to increase the level. Don’t forget that you can exchange bad 5-star pieces in alchemy for crafting some sets, so don’t thoughtlessly let them into leveling up either.

Who is the Song of Old Times suitable for?

This kit is designed to be worn by healers, who are capable of restoring up to 15 thousand HP in 6 seconds. At the same time, it is advisable that their skills do not have too long cooldowns, since this is the only way you can consistently maintain the set buff.

Below we have listed several characters who will be able to fulfill these requirements.

Character	Benefits of use
Sangonomiya Kokomi	The jellyfish created by the Divine Priestess heals quite a lot. Elemental Burst also allows you to accumulate stacks to increase the bonus.
Baizhu	If it so happens that in the squad with Baizhu there is another carrier of the “Deepwood Memories” set, then you can give “Song of Bygone Times” to him. He will be able to get all the stacks without any problems, especially with the healing bonus that the set offers.
Yaoyao	In this case, she has quite a lot in common with Baizhu. Most likely you will want to give her “Deepwood Memories”, but if there are other carriers, she can also be equipped with “Song of Old Times”.
Charlotte	Activates the set bonus without any problems, but until C6, when her healing becomes longer, she can only do this once. If you don't have this constellation, you might want to consider other sets for it.
Dori	If you make sure to stay within range of the lamp's ult, Dori will be able to activate the full set bonus twice. But it is important to gain enough energy recovery for her so that she can maintain the buff consistently.
Jean	In most squads, the Emerald Shadow set will be more useful for her. But if you're playing it with an anemo damage dealer like the Wanderer, you might want to consider Song of Old Times, since it doesn't have an element that you can reduce resistance to with dispel.
Xian Yun	Recommendations for this heroin are based on data from beta tests. If something changes during the release, we will definitely update the guide. The situation with her is the same as with Jean. In a squad with a main DD that has an element that can be dispelled, it is better to give her Emerald Shadow. If she plays with a damage dealer of another element, in particular with Xiao, then she can become the carrier of this set.

In general, this set can be given to any other healer, but they will either spend bonus hits themselves, or have too long cooldowns and will not be able to constantly maintain the buff. Also, for many unspecified healers , the Noblesse Oblige set is much more suitable.

As for combinations, two parts of Song of Old Times can be combined with other sets that provide a healing bonus. Heroes will also be happy with the 2+2 combination with items that provide a stat that will scale up their healing, for example 18% attack power or 20% HP. Those characters who heal with elemental burst may require two Emblem of Shattered Fate items, which increase the wearer's Obtaining Energy .
