If you want to know about Genshin Impact Artifacts, here is the right place. This ultimate guide explains what are artifacts in Genshin Impact and how to get them for the playable characters that you are playing. 

With so many options in the game, finding the best artifacts in Genshin Impact is no easy task. Every artifact set has its own two- and four-piece effects. It’s helpful to know which sets are worth farming before you invest a lot of time. 

So we list all Genshin Impact artifacts with their rarity, 2-piece and 4-piece effects, and recommended characters, including the newest artifacts released in Genshin Impact V2.6 on March 30, 2022.

What Are Artifacts in Genshin Impact

Genshin Impact Artifacts are used to equip characters to improve their stats in the game for better performance. You can find all artifacts listed in the second tab in the Inventory. 

According to the game, there are 5 types of Artifacts that can be equipped: Flower of Life, Plume of Death, Sands of Eon, Goblet of Eonothem, and Circlet of Logos. But only one of each type can be equipped on a character at a time.

Each artifact has one main stat, determined by the artifact’s type/slot. Its value at each level is determined by the stat and the artifact’s rarity. The main stats include HP, HP%, ATK, ATK%, DEF%, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge%, Elemental Damage Bonus% for each of the 6 playable Elements (Character’s vision), Physical DMG Bonus%, Crit Rate%, Crit DMG%, and Healing Bonus. But not all stats are available for all artifacts.

Two of the five types – Flower and Plume, can only come with a specific main stat. This is not changeable forever. Flowers will always have flat HP as their main stat, and Plumes will always have flat ATK as their main stat. The other three slots/types can have different stats options including main stats and sub stats. The below table lists the five slots/types of artifacts and their main stats.

  • Flower of Life: HP.
  • Plume of Death: ATK.
  • Sands of Eon: ATK%, HP%, DEF%, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge%.
  • Goblet of Eonothem: ATK%, HP%, DEF%, Elemental Mastery, Geo DMG%, Hydro DMG%, Anemo DMG%, Pyro DMG%, Cryo DMG%, Electro DMG%.
  • Circlet of Logos: ATK%, HP%, DEF%, Elemental Mastery, Healing Bonus%, Crit Rate%, Crit DMG%.

More than one main stat, each Artifact will carry up to four Sub-stats. Unlike the main stats, Sub-stats can appear on any type of Artifact. They are:

  • ATK
  • ATK%
  • DEF
  • DEF%
  • HP
  • HP%
  • Crit Rate%
  • Crit DMG%
  • Elemental Mastery
  • Energy Recharge%

Best Genshin Impact Artifacts by Roles

Best Main DPS Artifacts

Gladiator's Finale
Gladiator’s Finale

The Gladiator’s Finale has been the go-to artifact set for DPS characters since Genshin Impact’s release. This artifact works on almost all of the damage dealers at the very beginning and is very easy to farm. For that reason, it’s better than Shimenawa’s Reminscence.

Pale Flame
Pale Flame

Main DPS characters who rely on Normal and Charged Attacks and wield a Sword, Polearm, or Claymore, can also use Pale Flame. It’s not as generally applicable as Gladiator’s Finale, but has an even stronger damage bonus on the right character (such as Eula).

Best Elemental Artifacts

Blizzard Strayer
Blizzard Strayer
Thundering Fury​
Thundering Fury
Crimson Witch of Flames
Crimson Witch of Flames

If you’re building an Elemental DPS character, the artifact set with the corresponding Elemental bonus is usually a good choice. Still, some of them offer better full-set bonuses than others.

Thundering Fury, for example, offers a unique Elemental Skill cooldown reduction to Electro characters who can easily trigger Elemental Reactions.

And the Blizzard Strayer set, meant for Cryo characters, grants an amazing 40% Critical Rate increase.

Lastly, the Crimson Witch of Flames is great on almost any Pyro DPS character.

Best Healer Artifacts

Ocean-Hued Clam
Ocean-Hued Clam
Maiden Beloved
Maiden Beloved

Maiden Beloved and Ocean-Hued Clam are the best five-star artifact sets specifically meant for healers. So if you’re building Barbara or Kokomi, these are by far the best options. You may want to know  – which set is the best?

That depends. Maiden Beloved increases healing capacity and Ocean-Hued Clam manages to turn your character’s existing healing power into damage. 

If your healer can easily carry the team to victory, Ocean-Hued Clam is arguably the best option because of this additional damage. 

However, if you need more HP recovery or you simply want the easiest artifact set to farm, you should go for Maiden Beloved instead.

Best Support Artifacts

Noblesse Oblige​
Noblesse Oblige

Many artifact sets offer some degree of team support, but Noblesse Oblige stands out because of its general usefulness. You’ll see this artifact set can be the best option for a few characters. 

As it increases Burst damage (great for most DPS and Sub DPS characters) and grants an Attack increase even after swapping places (great for most DPS, Sub DPS, and Support characters) it’s an extremely useful set to keep in your inventory.

How Do I Get Genshin Impact Artifacts?

There are various methods you can obtain artifacts in the game. 

You can gather plenty of Genshin Impact artifacts on your travels across Teyvat from opening chests or defeating enemies. However, the artifacts obtained in this way are usually lower-quality pieces. 

Shrines of Depth, adventure rank rewards, the traveler’s journal, events, crafting artifact strongboxes, and more also provide you with handy random pieces.

But if you want a specific set to build your character, you’ll need to farm certain domains or bosses until you get the ones you want.

After you’ve snagged a set with the right stats for you, you’ll want to enhance them. This can be done through the character menu, in the same way, you level up weapons, but the only materials you can use are other artifacts (along with a hefty sum of mora, of course).

So, even all those Lucky Dog pieces that you’ve never found a use for come in handy after a while.

FAQs on Genshin Impact Artifacts

For Genshin Impact players new to artifacts, they are basically equipment items that boost a character’s stats. There are five different artifact types: flowers, feathers, sands, goblets, and circlets.

Artifacts are good to build and level up your characters. Some perform equally for all playable characters, some are better for characters with a specific element.

Based on your character, there are 40 artifacts for choosing from right now.  The most popular and powerful artifact you may like includes Gladiator’s Finale, Noblesse Oblige, Berserker, The Exile, Brave Heart, Resolution Of Sojourner, Instructor, and Gambler.

Every Genshin Impact character can wear up to five different artifacts at the same time. Wearing two artifacts of the same type grants a two-piece set effect. This is usually straightforward: an Attack power bonus, an Elemental damage bonus, or a healing bonus.

There are five artifact types in Genshin Impact. They perform for different bonuses.

Flower of Life will always have flat HP as the main stat. 

Other artifacts – Sands of Eon, Goblet of Eonothem, Circlet of Logos, will include HP as one stat.

So, except for the Plume of Death, the other four artifacts are all for HP.

Yes. Flower of Life will have the only main stat – HP, and always carry up this stat. It’s not changeable. 

There are 5 slots of gear in Genshin Impact: Flower, Plume, Sands, Goblet, and Circlet. While Flowers will also have flat HP as their main stat, and Plumes will always have flat ATK as their main stat, the other pieces have different options.

Our top pick for Ganyu is the four-piece Blizzard Strayer set. The Undivided Heart talent increases Frostflake Arrow critical hit rates by 20% already. If you fire a Frostflake Arrow at a frozen opponent, then, you’ve got a 60% chance it and its Cryo AoE effect will be critical.

DEF is recommended if you have a Constellation 6 Noelle. If before Constellation 6not, focusing on Attack would produce more DMG.

Crimson Witch of Flames is good for Diluc. Two-piece sets of this artifact will increase 15% of his damage bonus. 

If four-piece sets are applied, it increases Overloaded and Burning DMG by 40%. Increases Vaporize and Melt DMG by 15%. Using an Elemental SKill increases 2-Piece Set effects by 50% for 10s. Max 3 stacks.

For Noelle, Opulent Dreams is the best if you use her for the Elemental Burst. If she’s your main DPS (relying on non-Geo Normal and Charged Attacks) or just a shield provider, Retracing Bolide is better.

Only Circlets can get CRIT stats as their Main artifact stat, so you should build your artifacts based on whatever your Circlet artifact has. If your Circlet artifact has CRIT Rate, aim for CRIT DMG Sub-stats on your other artifacts.

Since buffing Hu Tao’s ATK is also one of your main priorities, the ATK-boosting Gladiator’s Finale is another great set.

Mixing Crimson Witch of Flames and Gladiator’s Finale can be a great option if Hu Tao is your main DPS — just be aware of the 4-piece set bonuses you’ll be missing out on.
