Gladiator's Finale and Noblesse Oblige are currently the most flexible sets available as they can easily fit into any DPS, Sub-DPS or Support build for an overall damage boost. While Noblesse Oblige is farmable via Domains, Gladiator's Finale is only dropped by Field and Weekly Bosses. With a cost of 40 to 60 Resin per run, Gladiator's Finale is rather difficult to farm despite its powerful bonuses.

The Damage Bonus sets bring elemental build flexibilty with their 2 Piece bonuses and typically have a unique build around
effect with their 4 Piece bonuses. Many of these sets are currently considered the best for certain characters, like Crimson Witch of Flames for Diluc, or Heart of Depth for Tartaglia. These sets are all farmable via Domains with the exception of Wanderer's Troupe which is the same as Gladiator's Finale and locked behind Field and Weekly bosses.

The 5 star sets in A Tier are typically sought after for their 4 Piece Set bonus rather than their 2 Piece bonuses, or are particularly narrow in build flexibility. The 4 star sets are overall great sets but are held back by their status as max 4 Star Artifacts as their upgrade level caps at +16. However, these Artifacts are still able to find their ways into many builds and are great place holders until more power 5 Star Artifacts are found.
Set | Set Bonus |
---|---|

2-Piece: ATK +18%. 4-Piece: Increases DMG by 30% against enemies with more than 50% HP. |
![]() |
2-Piece: DEF +30% 4-Piece: Increases Elemental RES by 30% for each element present among your characters in the party. |
![]() |

2-Piece: Energy Recharge +20% 4-Piece: Gaining Energy gives 3 Energy to all party members who have a bow or a catalyst equipped. Can only occur once every 3s. |

2-Piece: Energy Recharge +20% 4-Piece: Using an Elemental Burst regenerates 2 Energy for all party members (excluding the wearer) every 2s for 6s. This effect cannot stack. |
These Artifacts can provide a great boost to both damage and utility especially in the lower Adventure Ranks. Brave Heart and Resolution of Sojourner are particularly nice as they are the only Max 4 Star Artifacts that boost ATK as a 2 Piece bonus. Unfortunately, most of these Artifacts are quickly replaced as builds become more tailored in higher Adventure Ranks.

Artifacts in C Tier are generally outshone by most other Artifacts. The Prayers Set, while having great flexibility with 1 Piece bonuses, are difficult to farm due to being locked behind Field Bosses and only offer defensive bonuses. The 3 Star artifacts are usually found in treasure chests throughout Teyvat and are typically used as upgrade fodder for other Artifacts.
Powerful Artifacts that can fit into many builds and roles are highly valued due to 2 Piece and 4 Piece bonuses.
While there are some characters that can take advantage of the defensive sets, currently there is no content that demands use of such Artifacts.
Heavily conditional or situational Artifacts are not as sought after, however these lower value Artifacts can be used to strengthen your more powerful ones.
