Five slots, five items, random stats. In Genshin Impact, these Artifacts would probably give you quite a bit of a headache especially when you want to min max the stats, more so when they come in random stat distributions. When you enhance them, they also get additional stats, for even more of a good time (?). Here are what you should look out for.
STATS
The five artifact types all carry their own base stats which you preferably prioritize in order:
- Feather: ATK only
- Flower: HP only
- Sands: ATK % > Elemental Mastery > Elemental Recharge
- Goblet: ATK % / Elemental Bonus > Physical Bonus
- Circlet: ATK % > Critical Rate % > Critical Damage %
Once you upgrade them, they gain additional stats, preferably:
- ATK %
- Elemental Mastery %
- Critical Rate %
- Critical Damage %

EQUIP WHAT ON WHO?
The current consensus on what NOT to equip:
- Skip on Healing Effectiveness for Healers
- Resistance or Defense Artifacts
- Preferably you’d avoid damage altogether from dodging
Characters are roughly sorted into the following roles as of version 1.0:
- Main DPS: They have low cooldown on their Elemental Skills, and also deal decent auto attack damage
- Alternate DPS: Runs the whole gamut from debuffing, crowd control, generating energy, triggering elemental reactions to further increase damage output
- Support: The more rigid healers, debuffers and defensive characters
| Character | Role | Secondary Role |
| Barbara | Support | |
| Beidou | Main DPS | Alternate DPS |
| Bennett | Main DPS | Support |
| Chongyun | Main DPS | |
| Diluc | Main DPS | |
| Fischl | Alternate DPS | |
| Jean | Alternate DPS | Support |
| Kaeya | Alternate DPS | |
| Keqing | Main DPS | |
| Klee | Main DPS | |
| Lisa | Alternate DPS | |
| Mona | Alternate DPS | Support |
| Ningguang | Main DPS | |
| Noelle | Support | |
| Qiqi | Support | |
| Razor | Main DPS | |
| Sucrose | Support | |
| Traveler | Alternate DPS (Anemo / Geo) | Support (Anemo) |
| Venti | Alternate DPS | Support |
| Xiangling | Main DPS | Alternate DPS |
| Xinqiu | Alternate DPS |
Recommended sets for the DPS (both Main or Alternate) include:
- 2-piece Resolution of the Sojourner : Critical Rate +18%
- 2-piece Berserker : ATK +18%
- 4-piece Gladiator’s Finale : ATK +18%, Normal Attack Damage +35% ( Sword, Polearm, Claymore )
- 4-piece Elemental-specific sets
- Crimson Witch of the Flames (Pyro)
- Thundering Fury (Electro)
- Glacier and Snowfield (Cyro)
- Viridescent Venerer (Anemo)
- There are currently no sets for Hydro
Recommended sets for the Support include:
- 4-piece The Exile : Energy Recharge +20%, Elemental Burst regenerates 2 Energy for other party members every 2s for 6s
- 4-piece Noblesse Oblige : Elemental Burst Damage +20%, Elemental Burst increases all party members’ ATK by 20% for 12s
Of course, you should take into consideration Talents where relevant, like how Barbara’s healing scales off her HP, or Jean’s scaling off her ATK.
Now you know what to look out for. May the RNG and resin refills be with you.
