Best Artifact Builds and Set Bonuses | Genshin Impact

A list of all Artifacts and their Set Bonuses found in Genshin Impact. Read on for a guide to Artifact Sets, Artifact Set Bonus effects, and Recommended Artifact Sets.

What are Artifacts?

Artifacts serve as the equipment or gear for your characters in Genshin Impact. Rather than using the standard RPG Equipment categories such as Helmets, Boots, and so on, Genshin Impact has separated the different pieces into five unique categories.

Obtain From Bosses, Chests, and Domains

Artifacts are an important part of your character's stats and performance in battle. They can be farmed from chests in the field but these chests would often contain artifacts that are weaker than some of the rarer artifacts.

To get the best artifacts, try to raise your Adventure Rank quickly then hunt Elite Bosses and challenge Domains to obtain the best artifacts!

Artifact Stats Guide

Artifacts sport a varying amount of RNG but it isn't as punishing as it sounds. Below are all the details about the stats that artifacts can possiblay have.

Divided Into Main and Sub Stats

Artifacts have 3 parts that affects the stats of the wielder. The main stat which is highlighted in orange, the sub stat which is highlighted in yellow, and the set effects which is highlighted in lightblue.

Main stats' value are fixed but which stat your artifact gains as a main stat is randomized (ATK value is the same for all artifact of the same rank but the artifact you get may contain HP, ATK, DEF, etc). Sub stats are completely random and is the deal breaker in end-game artifacts. Set bonuses are fixed per set so focusing on getting the right stats for your artifact's main and sub stat is the key to getting great artifacts.

Artifact Main Stats

Boosted Stats	Main Stats
Flower of Life	HP
Plume of Death	Attack (Flat)
Sands of Eon	Attack (%), Defense (%), HP (%), Elemental Mastery, Elemental Recharge
Goblet of Eonothem	Attack (%), Defense (%), HP (%), Bonus Damage
Circlet of Logos	Attack (%), Defense (%), HP (%), Elemental Mastery, Elemental Recharge, Critical Rate, Critical Damage, Healing Bonus, Element Damage Buff

Aside from Elemental Mastery, all stat bonuses from the artifact's main stat comes in percentages. So the higher your base stats goes, the higher the stats they can provide.

Artifact Sub Stats List

These are the possible sub stats your artifacts can have upon leveling them up. Attack, HP, and Defense may come in flat value and % value.

Artifact Set Bonuses

Each Artifact is associated with a Set. These Sets are associated with a bonus depending on how many pieces of that Set are equipped to a character.

Most Sets have a given bonus for equipping 2 pieces or 4 pieces of a set. As Characters can only equip up to five Artifacts at a time, you'll often be forced to choose between equipping two pairs of 2-piece Sets or a single 4-piece set.
