TLDRThis video guide thoroughly explains the role and importance of artifacts in enhancing character performance in gaming. Artifacts are the crucial tools that make characters feel more effective and energetic. The guide details how artifacts can be obtained primarily from domains, recommending players to wait until reaching World Level 6 and Adventure Rank 45 for more efficient farming. It breaks down the different artifact stats, including attack, defense, crit rate, crit damage, and others, explaining their impact on gameplay. Moreover, it discusses artifact set bonuses and advises on strategies for leveling artifacts, focusing on gaining the most benefit without excess resource usage. The video warns against using poor artifacts just for set bonuses unless for specific characters, emphasizes recognizing the best sub stats for character growth, and provides a comprehensive take on the artifact strongbox, deemed the 'scam box,' for its inefficiency unless you have excess artifacts. By the end of the guide, viewers gain insights into optimizing their characters through knowledgeable artifact management and resource investment strategies.

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    Artifacts significantly enhance character performance in the game by addressing equal challenges for both paying and free-to-play players. The guide details how to optimize character builds by effectively utilizing, upgrading, and sorting artifacts, while recommending domains as the main source but advising against early farming before reaching World Level 6 or AR 45 for maximum efficiency.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:00

    Energy Recharge is key for frequent elemental burst usage, varying between on-field and off-field characters. Artifacts offer main stat and substat upgrades, but are subject to RNG, impacting both stats and upgrades during artifact leveling. The importance of main stats versus substats varies based on character needs.

  • 00:10:00 - 00:15:00

    Artifacts' main stats vary by type, each offering unique benefits like Elemental Mastery or energy recharge. Substats cannot replicate main stats, and priorities shift according to the artifact’s type and character build. Various artifacts offer diverse main stat capabilities, influencing which to keep or discard.

  • 00:15:00 - 00:20:00

    Leveling strategy changes with player progression—new players should focus on cost efficiency while veterans seek ideal substats at mid-level upgrades before committing resources. The guide advises strategic level caps (e.g., +12 or +16) to manage risk and resource allocation.

  • 00:20:00 - 00:25:00

    Understanding artifact set bonuses is important but secondary to overall stat benefits. Exceptions exist for specific characters requiring full set buffs. The approach to leveling artifacts involves incremental, resource-efficient upgrades, emphasizing balancing power across artifacts rather than maxing out a few.

  • 00:25:00 - 00:30:00

    Different artifact builds suit different characters e.g., DPS-headpieces prioritize crit stats, goblets favor elemental damage, and support roles might require HP. Specific characteristics of artifact farming focus on not only subsets but potential character fit, keeping flexibility for future use.

  • 00:30:00 - 00:35:00

    Characters have specific needs; e.g., Raiden benefits from attack goblets due to passive conversion of energy recharge to damage, while Sucrose focuses on elemental mastery for reactions. Optimal builds require balancing desired sub and main stats with character roles and team synergy.

  • 00:35:00 - 00:40:00

    Artifact Strongbox (or scam box) is a less efficient method for acquiring specific artifacts, better reserved for surplus situations. The box provides randomized returns using unwanted 5-star artifacts, reducing net artifact value and should be used cautiously.

  • 00:40:00 - 00:45:33

    Key takeaways include prioritizing effective sub stat rolls, avoiding reliance on specific full sets unless necessary, and adjusting leveling strategies according to player progress and character needs. Maintaining flexibility in artifact selection ensures readiness for diverse future game challenges.

    artifacts are the main way to make your
  • 00:00:01
    character go from feeling slow and weak
  • 00:00:04
    to feeling fast fluid and Powerful they
  • 00:00:06
    are also the great equalizer as both
  • 00:00:08
    Wales and free-to-play players are at
  • 00:00:11
    the mercy of the artifact system and in
  • 00:00:13
    this guide I'm gonna break down
  • 00:00:14
    everything you need to know about
  • 00:00:16
    artifacts so you can make your
  • 00:00:18
    characters perform at their absolute
  • 00:00:19
    best hey everyone shark here and I've
  • 00:00:22
    gotten a lot of requests on stream for
  • 00:00:24
    this artifact guide for quite some time
  • 00:00:26
    now but I wasn't sure how to put it out
  • 00:00:28
    because this topic just has so much
  • 00:00:30
    information around it and I didn't want
  • 00:00:32
    to overwhelm you so I condensed it as
  • 00:00:34
    best I could but I kept the information
  • 00:00:36
    that I believe will be most helpful for
  • 00:00:39
    both new players and veterans in this
  • 00:00:42
    video we'll be covering how artifacts
  • 00:00:44
    work the best strategies to level and
  • 00:00:46
    build artifacts and what artifacts you
  • 00:00:49
    want to keep and which ones you want to
  • 00:00:51
    trash so let's dive in and start with
  • 00:00:53
    the basics you could get some 1 and 2
  • 00:00:55
    Star artifacts from various little
  • 00:00:57
    crates and other things you can
  • 00:00:58
    investigate around the world but you're
  • 00:00:59
    are mostly going to be getting your
  • 00:01:01
    artifacts from domains and you can get a
  • 00:01:03
    few artifacts mainly the Gladiators and
  • 00:01:05
    Wanderers troop set from bosses 2. and
  • 00:01:08
    you can also get artifacts from doing
  • 00:01:09
    the abyss but that's not a very good
  • 00:01:11
    source to farm them either regardless
  • 00:01:13
    domains will be your main source of
  • 00:01:15
    farming artifacts but you don't want to
  • 00:01:18
    earnestly start farming any artifacts
  • 00:01:20
    until after you've completed your ar-45
  • 00:01:23
    Ascension Quest finishing this Quest
  • 00:01:25
    will upgrade your World level to World
  • 00:01:28
    level 6 and will guarantee you a 5 Star
  • 00:01:30
    artifact from every single artifact
  • 00:01:33
    domain you do and don't worry you are
  • 00:01:35
    not missing out on anything by not
  • 00:01:37
    farming artifacts pre-World level 6 or
  • 00:01:41
    pre-ar45 you will be farming artifact
  • 00:01:44
    domains a lot after World level 6 and
  • 00:01:46
    ar-45 and trust me you will make up for
  • 00:01:49
    any lost time completing the artifact
  • 00:01:51
    domains this way ends up becoming a lot
  • 00:01:53
    more efficient because not only are you
  • 00:01:54
    guaranteed at least one five-star
  • 00:01:56
    artifact but you also get multiple 4
  • 00:01:58
    star artifacts this means that you can
  • 00:02:00
    use the five star artifacts that you
  • 00:02:02
    form here for your character that you
  • 00:02:04
    use the most but you can also use the
  • 00:02:07
    four star artifacts for characters that
  • 00:02:09
    haven't received as much attention and
  • 00:02:11
    I'll make sure to cover the best
  • 00:02:12
    artifact leveling strategies later in
  • 00:02:15
    this video but for now it's really
  • 00:02:16
    important that you understand the basics
  • 00:02:18
    meaning what artifact stats do how
  • 00:02:21
    leveling artifacts work and set bonuses
  • 00:02:24
    so let's go over artifact stats real
  • 00:02:26
    quick attack increases your attack value
  • 00:02:29
    which helps you deal more damage most
  • 00:02:31
    characters use this stat to make their
  • 00:02:33
    normal attacks Elemental skill and
  • 00:02:34
    Elemental burst deal more damage HP
  • 00:02:37
    increases the total amount of Health you
  • 00:02:39
    have so you can take more damage before
  • 00:02:41
    your character gets sent to the shadow
  • 00:02:43
    realm defense reduces the damage you
  • 00:02:45
    receive from attacks crit rate gives
  • 00:02:48
    your character a chance to score a
  • 00:02:50
    critical hit which multiplies your
  • 00:02:51
    damage by your crit damage stats plus
  • 00:02:54
    100 percent so if a non-critical hit
  • 00:02:57
    does 2500 damage and U of A 1 hundred
  • 00:03:00
    and fifty percent critical damage stat
  • 00:03:02
    you take the 2500 times 150 plus 100
  • 00:03:07
    which is 2500 times 250 percent so it
  • 00:03:11
    means that when you score a critical hit
  • 00:03:12
    that hit will do
  • 00:03:14
    6250 damage instead of 2500. the tldr
  • 00:03:18
    here is that you want a good balance of
  • 00:03:20
    crit rate and crit damage so you can hit
  • 00:03:22
    big numbers very frequently typically
  • 00:03:24
    you'd want a critical rate of at least
  • 00:03:26
    50 percent and at least one hundred
  • 00:03:28
    percent crit damage but some characters
  • 00:03:30
    can achieve way higher results these
  • 00:03:33
    stats are fairly common in most games so
  • 00:03:35
    you probably are familiar with them but
  • 00:03:37
    there are some stats that are unique to
  • 00:03:39
    genjin so we'll go over those now the
  • 00:03:42
    first is Elemental Mastery this enhances
  • 00:03:45
    the damage of Elemental reactions and
  • 00:03:48
    massively increases the damage of
  • 00:03:50
    transformative reactions it also makes
  • 00:03:52
    crystallized Shields stronger but no one
  • 00:03:55
    plays Geo for the crystallized Shield so
  • 00:03:57
    that doesn't really matter it's
  • 00:03:59
    important to note that only the
  • 00:04:01
    character that triggers the elemental
  • 00:04:03
    reaction gets the damage Boost from
  • 00:04:05
    Elemental Mastery so if the character
  • 00:04:07
    applies a lot of element but they don't
  • 00:04:09
    Trigger or cause the reaction then this
  • 00:04:12
    that is useless on them the next stat
  • 00:04:14
    unique to genjin is energy recharge and
  • 00:04:17
    it is one of the most important stats
  • 00:04:19
    even more so than crit rate and crit
  • 00:04:21
    damage having more energy recharge
  • 00:04:23
    allows you to gain more energy back
  • 00:04:25
    whenever you receive an energy particle
  • 00:04:28
    allowing you to use your Elemental burst
  • 00:04:30
    a lot sooner hopefully off cooldown
  • 00:04:32
    every character starts with 100 energy
  • 00:04:35
    recharge but rarely is that enough
  • 00:04:37
    especially for more challenging fights
  • 00:04:39
    unfortunately the energy recharge
  • 00:04:41
    requirements vary greatly between
  • 00:04:43
    characters but the general rule that I
  • 00:04:46
    like to use is that if a character
  • 00:04:47
    spends most of their time on field then
  • 00:04:50
    they need half of their Elemental burst
  • 00:04:52
    costs as additional energy recharge
  • 00:04:54
    percent and if a character spends most
  • 00:04:56
    of their time off field then they need
  • 00:04:58
    their Elemental burst Cost Plus about 20
  • 00:05:01
    percent as additional energy recharge
  • 00:05:03
    percent so a character like Al Haytham
  • 00:05:06
    is meant to spend his time on fields and
  • 00:05:08
    he is a 70 cost Elemental burst this
  • 00:05:11
    means he'll want about 135 energy
  • 00:05:14
    recharge to use his burst off cooldown
  • 00:05:16
    Xiang Ling is an off-field DPS who does
  • 00:05:19
    all of her damage off field and her
  • 00:05:21
    Elemental burst costs 80 energy so to
  • 00:05:24
    make sure she can use her Elemental
  • 00:05:25
    burst off cooldown we'll want around 80
  • 00:05:28
    plus 20 extra energy recharge percent
  • 00:05:31
    which means we'll want around a total of
  • 00:05:34
    200 energy recharge for Shang Ling so
  • 00:05:36
    she can use her Elemental burst off
  • 00:05:38
    cooldown because she is an off-field DPS
  • 00:05:40
    now this system is far from perfect but
  • 00:05:43
    it's generally a good Baseline without
  • 00:05:45
    having to calculate things like
  • 00:05:47
    individual particle generation team
  • 00:05:49
    particle generation team Buffs from
  • 00:05:51
    things like fivonius weapons or venti's
  • 00:05:54
    passive now that we know what the stats
  • 00:05:55
    do let's talk about them on artifacts in
  • 00:05:57
    more detail the first thing to know is
  • 00:05:59
    is that the artifacts have a main stat
  • 00:06:01
    and a substat main stats will always
  • 00:06:04
    increase as you level up artifacts and
  • 00:06:05
    are therefore the most important sub
  • 00:06:08
    stats are bonuses that are randomly
  • 00:06:10
    generated and randomly upgraded every
  • 00:06:12
    four levels on an artifact and as an
  • 00:06:15
    important note the main stat on an
  • 00:06:17
    artifact cannot double dip and have the
  • 00:06:19
    same substat so you can't have a crit
  • 00:06:21
    rate Circle it with a crit rate sub
  • 00:06:23
    stats the bad news about artifacts is
  • 00:06:26
    that there is a Relentless amount of RNG
  • 00:06:28
    that goes into them not only are the sub
  • 00:06:30
    stats randomly generated but they also
  • 00:06:32
    level up randomly and except for the
  • 00:06:35
    flower and feather artifact which have
  • 00:06:37
    static main stats the other artifacts
  • 00:06:39
    can have random main stats meaning that
  • 00:06:42
    when you get an artifact the main stat
  • 00:06:44
    is randomly generated the sub stats are
  • 00:06:46
    randomly generated and when you level up
  • 00:06:48
    that artifact the subset increases or
  • 00:06:51
    randomly generated too but not all
  • 00:06:53
    artifacts can have the same main stat
  • 00:06:55
    the timepiece or Sans can have HP
  • 00:06:57
    percent attack percent defense energy
  • 00:07:00
    recharge percent or Elemental Mastery of
  • 00:07:03
    these generally attack percent energy
  • 00:07:05
    recharge and Elemental Mastery Sands or
  • 00:07:08
    timepieces are the most useful a few
  • 00:07:10
    characters like yelon and hutau do great
  • 00:07:12
    with HP percent Sans and so do some
  • 00:07:14
    healers and shielders but we'll talk a
  • 00:07:17
    little bit more about which artifacts to
  • 00:07:18
    keep and which ones to trash later the
  • 00:07:21
    Goblet can have HP percent attack
  • 00:07:23
    percent defense percent Elemental
  • 00:07:25
    Mastery physical damage bonus or one of
  • 00:07:27
    these seven Elemental damage bonuses as
  • 00:07:30
    its main stat these will be the most
  • 00:07:32
    painful artifacts to farm as there are
  • 00:07:34
    13 different options for main stats and
  • 00:07:37
    Beyond getting the mains that you want
  • 00:07:39
    you also have to get the sub stats you
  • 00:07:41
    want and then when you level the
  • 00:07:42
    artifacts those subsets have to increase
  • 00:07:44
    or level up in the way you want them to
  • 00:07:46
    as well so it's always good practice to
  • 00:07:49
    save any good Elemental damage or
  • 00:07:51
    physical goblet that you get however
  • 00:07:53
    it's also a good idea to keep Elemental
  • 00:07:56
    Mastery goblets especially if they have
  • 00:07:58
    good sub stats the second and most
  • 00:08:00
    difficult artifact to get is the circlet
  • 00:08:02
    or the headpiece which can have HP
  • 00:08:04
    percent attack percent defense percent
  • 00:08:06
    Elemental Mastery crit rates crit damage
  • 00:08:09
    or healing bonus you'll almost always
  • 00:08:11
    want a crit rate or a crit damage
  • 00:08:13
    headpiece but Elemental Mastery can also
  • 00:08:16
    be nice and healing bonus is obviously
  • 00:08:18
    good for healers now that we have the
  • 00:08:20
    potential main stats for the five
  • 00:08:21
    artifacts down let's talk about sub
  • 00:08:23
    stats remember these are bonus stats you
  • 00:08:25
    get and they cannot be the same as the
  • 00:08:28
    artifact main stat these subsets also
  • 00:08:30
    have to be unique so you can't have an
  • 00:08:32
    artifact that has four lines of crit
  • 00:08:34
    rate for example they have to all be
  • 00:08:36
    different sub stats the subsets that
  • 00:08:39
    will be randomly generated are flat
  • 00:08:41
    attack flat defense flat HP attack
  • 00:08:44
    percent defense percent HP percent
  • 00:08:46
    energy recharge percent Elemental
  • 00:08:49
    Mastery crit rates and crit damage and
  • 00:08:52
    here's a big tip for you flat stats like
  • 00:08:54
    flat attack flat defense flat HP those
  • 00:08:57
    are not good attack percent HP defense
  • 00:09:00
    percent those are almost always better
  • 00:09:02
    because they will give you more attack
  • 00:09:04
    defense whatever as your character grows
  • 00:09:06
    and as you level them up but flat stats
  • 00:09:09
    are always static and another tip
  • 00:09:11
    defense stats are generally not good
  • 00:09:13
    unless you've got a character like Noel
  • 00:09:15
    or Albedo or Ito that specifically
  • 00:09:17
    scales with defense the top three stats
  • 00:09:20
    that just about every character in the
  • 00:09:22
    game wants are energy recharge percents
  • 00:09:24
    crit rate and crit damage after that
  • 00:09:27
    attack percent and Elemental Mastery can
  • 00:09:30
    be really great value and of course
  • 00:09:32
    there's always the exceptions where
  • 00:09:34
    certain characters want something like
  • 00:09:35
    HP percent or Elemental Mastery but not
  • 00:09:38
    crits but again some of the most desired
  • 00:09:40
    sub stats in the game are crit rate crit
  • 00:09:43
    damage and energy recharge so you want
  • 00:09:44
    to be on the lookout for artifacts with
  • 00:09:46
    those sub stats and when you level an
  • 00:09:48
    artifact up to plus 4 it can gain an
  • 00:09:51
    extra sub stat depending on the quality
  • 00:09:53
    of the artifact I'm going to talk about
  • 00:09:54
    five star artifacts for this example but
  • 00:09:57
    just know that it can happen for three
  • 00:09:58
    star and 4 star artifact effects ii a 5
  • 00:10:01
    Star artifact will typically roll with
  • 00:10:03
    three sub stats and when you get it to
  • 00:10:04
    plus 4 it will gain a fourth substance
  • 00:10:07
    however you can sometimes get a 5 Star
  • 00:10:09
    artifact that has four lines of sub
  • 00:10:11
    stats before you ever leveled it up
  • 00:10:13
    these default four-line subset artifacts
  • 00:10:17
    are generally more valuable because it
  • 00:10:19
    means you get an extra roll or an extra
  • 00:10:21
    increase into one of the sub stats and
  • 00:10:23
    again when you're leveling up artifacts
  • 00:10:25
    the main stat increases every level and
  • 00:10:28
    one random stat increases every four
  • 00:10:30
    levels and it becomes progressively more
  • 00:10:32
    expensive to level artifacts but don't
  • 00:10:35
    worry because I'll talk about a strategy
  • 00:10:36
    to get the biggest artifact upgrades for
  • 00:10:39
    the fewest resources it's also important
  • 00:10:41
    to note that the main stat increases
  • 00:10:43
    will always be fixed but the subset
  • 00:10:46
    increases are not only selected at
  • 00:10:48
    random but the value of those increases
  • 00:10:51
    is also random for example you could
  • 00:10:54
    have an artifact that has a crit rate
  • 00:10:56
    subset of 3.5 percent and when you level
  • 00:10:59
    that artifact up the increase goes into
  • 00:11:01
    crit rate instead of the other substance
  • 00:11:03
    well the increase on the subsets are not
  • 00:11:05
    static they could be anywhere between
  • 00:11:07
    2.7 and 3.9 percent for crit rates so
  • 00:11:11
    even when you level an artifact if it
  • 00:11:13
    goes into the subset you want there is
  • 00:11:15
    still a range of values that it could
  • 00:11:16
    increase by now here's the big tip I was
  • 00:11:19
    telling you about for leveling up
  • 00:11:21
    artifacts if you're new and you're just
  • 00:11:23
    getting your first five star artifacts
  • 00:11:25
    or even your first four star artifacts
  • 00:11:27
    only go to plus 16 at first going to
  • 00:11:30
    plus 20 on 5 Star artifacts takes too
  • 00:11:32
    many resources early on just so you're
  • 00:11:35
    aware it takes almost as many resources
  • 00:11:37
    to get from plus 16 to plus 20 as it
  • 00:11:39
    does to take an artifact from plus 0 to
  • 00:11:42
    plus 16. so it's better to level more
  • 00:11:44
    artifacts to plus 16 than it is to level
  • 00:11:47
    only one or two to plus 20 because it
  • 00:11:49
    costs about the same amount of resources
  • 00:11:51
    and if you are a veteran player who is
  • 00:11:54
    looking to replace or upgrade artifacts
  • 00:11:56
    only go to plus 12 on 5 Star artifacts a
  • 00:12:00
    plus 12 artifact has had three substant
  • 00:12:02
    roles and there's only two more possible
  • 00:12:04
    increases available from that point
  • 00:12:06
    forward once an artifact is plus 12 you
  • 00:12:09
    should be able to tell whether it's
  • 00:12:10
    going to be something that's worth
  • 00:12:11
    investing into and has potential or if
  • 00:12:14
    it's something that belongs in the
  • 00:12:15
    garbage if it is good you can keep
  • 00:12:17
    rolling it to increase it but if it's
  • 00:12:19
    not good you can roll that artifact into
  • 00:12:21
    another artifact that could potentially
  • 00:12:23
    be an upgrade because you retain eighty
  • 00:12:26
    percent of the invested experience that
  • 00:12:28
    you rolled into the artifact in the
  • 00:12:29
    first place and real quick if you're
  • 00:12:31
    enjoying this so far and if any of this
  • 00:12:33
    has been helpful make sure to leave a
  • 00:12:34
    like on the video and subs of the
  • 00:12:36
    channel as there are more guides videos
  • 00:12:38
    about how to get free limited Primo gems
  • 00:12:40
    account reviews and more to help you
  • 00:12:42
    make the best account you can without
  • 00:12:44
    needing to spend anything on genshin now
  • 00:12:47
    that we've talked about artifact main
  • 00:12:48
    sets and substance you'll also notice
  • 00:12:50
    that artifacts have set bonuses so when
  • 00:12:52
    you equip two or four pieces of an
  • 00:12:55
    artifact you'll get extra bonuses here's
  • 00:12:58
    a big tip for you it is not worth using
  • 00:13:01
    bad artifacts just to complete a
  • 00:13:04
    four-piece set bonus the purpose of
  • 00:13:06
    artifacts is to give you extra stats so
  • 00:13:09
    you want artifacts that give you the
  • 00:13:10
    best overall stats and not just a set
  • 00:13:13
    bonus with a bunch of mediocre stats and
  • 00:13:15
    all your artifact pieces the only
  • 00:13:18
    exception to this are characters that
  • 00:13:20
    are viridescent venerer supports and
  • 00:13:22
    possibly deep wood memory supports they
  • 00:13:25
    need a four piece set bonus because
  • 00:13:27
    their four piece set is just broken
  • 00:13:29
    strong and can help your whole team
  • 00:13:31
    tremendously but most of the time it's
  • 00:13:34
    better to use a two-piece set of
  • 00:13:35
    something and a two-piece set of
  • 00:13:37
    something else on a character if it
  • 00:13:38
    gives them overall better sub stats
  • 00:13:40
    because that's the name of the game is
  • 00:13:43
    the overall subset amount for your
  • 00:13:44
    character not whether they have a four
  • 00:13:46
    piece set or not so now that we talked
  • 00:13:49
    about rolling artifacts and all the
  • 00:13:50
    different things and combinations that
  • 00:13:52
    you can get from artifacts let's talk
  • 00:13:53
    about the best strategy to level
  • 00:13:55
    artifacts and I've broken this into five
  • 00:13:57
    phases now if your brand new 2 we can
  • 00:14:00
    call this phase 0 you first want to
  • 00:14:02
    level your feather as the flat attack is
  • 00:14:04
    actually very helpful when you're just
  • 00:14:06
    starting out when you're around AR 25 to
  • 00:14:08
    30 this is where you're going to be in
  • 00:14:10
    Phase One this is where you want to use
  • 00:14:12
    the highest Rarity artifact with a
  • 00:14:14
    usable main stat usable main stats are
  • 00:14:17
    not necessarily the best main stat for
  • 00:14:20
    your character but it's just something
  • 00:14:21
    that will be helpful whether it's attack
  • 00:14:23
    percent crit energy recharge Elemental
  • 00:14:25
    Mastery Elemental damage or something
  • 00:14:27
    like that in Phase 2 of your artifact
  • 00:14:30
    development strategy you're going to
  • 00:14:31
    look for the highest Rarity artifact you
  • 00:14:33
    can find with a desired main stats this
  • 00:14:36
    is unlikely to happen until at least AR
  • 00:14:38
    35 but more likely ar-40 the desired
  • 00:14:42
    main stats that you're looking for are
  • 00:14:43
    things like a crit headpiece instead of
  • 00:14:45
    an attack headpiece and an elemental
  • 00:14:47
    damage goblet instead of an attack
  • 00:14:49
    goblet phase 3 will happen after AR 45
  • 00:14:52
    and World level 6. you'll start to farm
  • 00:14:54
    5 Star artifacts here and you're going
  • 00:14:56
    to look for a 5 Star artifact with a
  • 00:14:58
    desired main stat you'll also look for
  • 00:15:00
    one to two good sub stats on these
  • 00:15:02
    artifacts crit energy recharge something
  • 00:15:05
    like that but you don't have to be too
  • 00:15:07
    picky phase four is where you can start
  • 00:15:09
    to become a little bit more picky
  • 00:15:10
    because now you're going to be looking
  • 00:15:12
    for five star artifacts with your
  • 00:15:13
    desired main stat and two to four good
  • 00:15:16
    sub stats and the Final Phase phase five
  • 00:15:19
    of the artifact development journey is
  • 00:15:22
    where you're looking for artifacts with
  • 00:15:23
    a good main stat and good sub stats that
  • 00:15:25
    you want to save for potential other
  • 00:15:28
    characters in other words all your
  • 00:15:30
    characters are pretty much built but
  • 00:15:31
    your farming artifacts so when you get a
  • 00:15:33
    new character that you like you can make
  • 00:15:35
    them instantly powerful because one of
  • 00:15:37
    the unfortunate things about leveling
  • 00:15:39
    artifacts is that if you get a new
  • 00:15:40
    character you have to start these phases
  • 00:15:42
    all over again especially if a character
  • 00:15:44
    wants a special artifact set but the
  • 00:15:47
    good news is that by following these
  • 00:15:49
    steps if you get a brand new character
  • 00:15:51
    almost any character in the game can
  • 00:15:53
    work with multiple artifact sets so if
  • 00:15:55
    you already have good pieces leveled up
  • 00:15:57
    on a character that you're not
  • 00:15:58
    necessarily use using or just good
  • 00:16:00
    pieces that you've leveled up in reserve
  • 00:16:02
    you can make this new character that you
  • 00:16:04
    just got instantly more powerful and
  • 00:16:06
    then slowly Farm up their four piece set
  • 00:16:08
    if you really want to next we'll talk
  • 00:16:10
    about the artifacts that are worth
  • 00:16:11
    keeping and the ones that are not there
  • 00:16:14
    is an enormous variety of artifact
  • 00:16:16
    combinations you can have but generally
  • 00:16:18
    you always want the same things crit
  • 00:16:21
    rate crit damage and energy recharge and
  • 00:16:24
    remember as a general rule percent
  • 00:16:25
    substance like attack percent and HP
  • 00:16:28
    percent are always better than flat
  • 00:16:30
    stats like flat attack and flat HP
  • 00:16:31
    because percent stats scale much better
  • 00:16:34
    especially as you build your characters
  • 00:16:36
    and level them up more let's go over
  • 00:16:38
    what to look for when you get an
  • 00:16:40
    artifact in more detail as always there
  • 00:16:43
    are exceptions to this general rule and
  • 00:16:45
    you'll have to look at a character's
  • 00:16:46
    specific kit to understand what they
  • 00:16:48
    really want however you can always come
  • 00:16:50
    by and ask me what a specific character
  • 00:16:52
    wants on stream I stream Mornings in
  • 00:16:54
    Eastern Standard time on Twitch and I'd
  • 00:16:56
    be happy to tell you the specific
  • 00:16:58
    artifact and so subset combinations that
  • 00:17:00
    a character wants there but in general
  • 00:17:03
    terms here's what you want on each
  • 00:17:05
    artifact piece on the headpieces you're
  • 00:17:08
    looking for crit rate or crit damage
  • 00:17:10
    pretty much all of the time the
  • 00:17:11
    substance that you're looking for are
  • 00:17:13
    energy recharge and crit damage or CR
  • 00:17:15
    rate whatever is the opposite of the
  • 00:17:18
    main set of the headpiece Elemental
  • 00:17:20
    Mastery is also great unless this
  • 00:17:22
    artifact is for a character on a Geo or
  • 00:17:24
    freeze team attack percent is also a
  • 00:17:27
    great sub stat for most characters and
  • 00:17:29
    some characters really like HP or
  • 00:17:31
    defense percent if their talents use
  • 00:17:33
    that stat as alternatives to attack
  • 00:17:35
    Elemental Mastery main stat headpieces
  • 00:17:38
    can also be really nice so if you find
  • 00:17:40
    an elemental Mastery mainset headpiece
  • 00:17:42
    with some good subsets you probably want
  • 00:17:44
    to save it because there might be a
  • 00:17:46
    character that wants it in the future
  • 00:17:47
    for goblets you pretty much always want
  • 00:17:50
    an elemental or a physical damage goblet
  • 00:17:52
    because if a character's role is to do
  • 00:17:54
    damage they almost always want an
  • 00:17:57
    elemental damage goblet or a physical
  • 00:17:59
    Dam image goblet for physical base
  • 00:18:01
    damage characters like Eula however
  • 00:18:03
    characters that are triggering
  • 00:18:05
    transformative reactions like swirl or
  • 00:18:07
    hyperbloom or scale heavily off
  • 00:18:09
    Elemental Mastery like venti kazua
  • 00:18:12
    sucrose nahida or kuki also do great
  • 00:18:15
    with elemental Mastery main stat goblets
  • 00:18:17
    and there are a few exceptions like
  • 00:18:20
    characters that appreciate attack
  • 00:18:21
    percent goblets like ride and Shogun
  • 00:18:23
    using the catch the 4 star spear weapon
  • 00:18:26
    you can get from fishing but this case
  • 00:18:28
    is a little bit more rare it's also very
  • 00:18:30
    common that supporting characters Not
  • 00:18:32
    Meant To Deal much damage often want
  • 00:18:34
    things like an HP goblet to increase
  • 00:18:36
    their healing or Shield strength
  • 00:18:38
    substats to look for on goblets include
  • 00:18:40
    crit rate crit damage energy recharge
  • 00:18:42
    and Elemental Mastery and attack percent
  • 00:18:44
    or HP percent or defense percent can
  • 00:18:47
    also be useful depending on which
  • 00:18:49
    character is using it and what their
  • 00:18:51
    talents scale off of the best main stat
  • 00:18:53
    for timepieces or Sans include energy
  • 00:18:56
    recharge percent Elemental Mastery and
  • 00:18:58
    attack percent energy recharge is great
  • 00:19:01
    for characters with high energy
  • 00:19:02
    requirements that don't stay on the
  • 00:19:04
    field for very long like shincho or
  • 00:19:06
    Xiang Ling Elemental Mastery is great
  • 00:19:09
    for reaction carries or characters that
  • 00:19:11
    scale well with em like to Luke Al
  • 00:19:14
    haythim or sucrose and attack percent is
  • 00:19:16
    great for General DPS characters if they
  • 00:19:19
    don't need more energy recharge and
  • 00:19:21
    benefit more from attack than em like
  • 00:19:23
    ning Wong support characters may also
  • 00:19:26
    want main stats that include something
  • 00:19:28
    like HP percent for more shielding or
  • 00:19:30
    more healing but often they also want
  • 00:19:33
    energy recharge Sands so they can use
  • 00:19:35
    their burst off cooldown if you have to
  • 00:19:37
    make a choice with your support
  • 00:19:38
    character between having more healing or
  • 00:19:40
    shielding with something like an HP
  • 00:19:41
    percent Sans or enough energy recharge
  • 00:19:44
    to use or burst off cooldown by using an
  • 00:19:46
    energy recharge Sands take the energy
  • 00:19:48
    recharge Sands having enough energy
  • 00:19:50
    recharge to use your burst off cooldown
  • 00:19:52
    is almost always worth the trade-off
  • 00:19:54
    even with really valuable stats like
  • 00:19:56
    crit rate and crit damage and speaking
  • 00:19:58
    of sub stats on your timepiece you want
  • 00:20:00
    to look for crit rate crit damage energy
  • 00:20:02
    recharge Elemental Mastery attack
  • 00:20:04
    percent or HP percent or other stats
  • 00:20:07
    that your character's talents May scale
  • 00:20:09
    off of feathers only roll flat attack so
  • 00:20:11
    look for sub stats that you want for
  • 00:20:13
    your character these typically include
  • 00:20:15
    the same crit rate crit damage and
  • 00:20:17
    energy recharge and of course some other
  • 00:20:19
    combination of attack percent Elemental
  • 00:20:22
    Mastery or other things like HP just
  • 00:20:24
    like the feather the flower only rolls
  • 00:20:26
    flat HP and you want to look for the
  • 00:20:28
    same desired subsets of things like crit
  • 00:20:30
    rate crit damage energy recharge attack
  • 00:20:32
    percent Elemental Mastery or HP percent
  • 00:20:35
    if your character scales with that as
  • 00:20:36
    well and here's a little tip when you're
  • 00:20:38
    farming artifacts flowers and Feathers
  • 00:20:40
    always roll with a static main stat so
  • 00:20:43
    it's usually easier to get good subsets
  • 00:20:45
    on them especially compared with things
  • 00:20:48
    like circlets or goblets because with
  • 00:20:50
    the circlet timepiece and goblet
  • 00:20:52
    artifacts you have to get the main stat
  • 00:20:54
    you want and the sub stats you want so
  • 00:20:56
    that's just another level of RNG you
  • 00:20:58
    have to deal with the best way to know
  • 00:21:00
    which artifacts to keep is to look at
  • 00:21:02
    the artifact's set and determine which
  • 00:21:04
    stats you don't need for example if you
  • 00:21:07
    went to the husk of opulent dreams
  • 00:21:09
    domain and got a piece that had attack
  • 00:21:10
    percent flat HP and Elemental Mastery
  • 00:21:13
    that would not be a good piece and you
  • 00:21:15
    could get rid of it remember flat stats
  • 00:21:17
    like flat HP are not very valuable
  • 00:21:19
    attack percent is nice but since this
  • 00:21:21
    set increases your defense and your Geo
  • 00:21:24
    damage it is typically used for
  • 00:21:25
    characters that want increased defense
  • 00:21:27
    like Noel or Ito or Albedo attack
  • 00:21:30
    percent isn't that valuable in this case
  • 00:21:32
    and of course since this set also
  • 00:21:34
    increases Geo damage it's meant for geo
  • 00:21:37
    characters and Geo does not have an
  • 00:21:39
    offensive reaction so there's no need to
  • 00:21:41
    build em at all however if we had this
  • 00:21:44
    artifact on the flower of Paradise Lost
  • 00:21:46
    set it could be much better this set is
  • 00:21:49
    meant for characters that like to
  • 00:21:50
    trigger Bloom hyperbloom and virgin
  • 00:21:52
    these reactions cannot crit so we don't
  • 00:21:54
    need artifacts that crit what we do need
  • 00:21:57
    is artifacts with em so depending on the
  • 00:21:59
    roles this could actually be an artifact
  • 00:22:01
    that ends up being quite useful but
  • 00:22:03
    again it's situational so you have to
  • 00:22:04
    kind of determine which artifact set you
  • 00:22:07
    want to use for which character and then
  • 00:22:08
    try to figure out what stats you want
  • 00:22:10
    for that character but as a good rule if
  • 00:22:13
    you ever get an artifact with a good set
  • 00:22:15
    of sub stats it's almost always worth
  • 00:22:17
    keeping for example even though the
  • 00:22:20
    flower of Paradise Lost set is designed
  • 00:22:22
    for Elemental reactions that don't crit
  • 00:22:24
    if I got a piece with crit rate crit
  • 00:22:27
    damage attack percent and energy
  • 00:22:28
    recharge that's a really good artifact
  • 00:22:31
    and I would definitely keep it even
  • 00:22:32
    though that specific artifact with those
  • 00:22:34
    sub stats doesn't really help most
  • 00:22:36
    characters that want to use a four piece
  • 00:22:38
    Paradise Lost set the sub stats are good
  • 00:22:40
    enough that I could use two pieces of
  • 00:22:42
    that set and then use two pieces of
  • 00:22:44
    another set and have a really good
  • 00:22:46
    artifact two-piece two-piece set
  • 00:22:48
    especially for a character that might
  • 00:22:50
    want extra em like I'll hate them so it
  • 00:22:53
    is worth saving artifacts with really
  • 00:22:55
    good sub stats even if the main stat
  • 00:22:57
    isn't super useful because it could
  • 00:22:58
    become very relevant for a character
  • 00:23:01
    later now that we've covered how to know
  • 00:23:03
    which artifacts are worth keeping let's
  • 00:23:05
    move on to some specific character
  • 00:23:06
    builds I have and I'll tell you why I
  • 00:23:09
    use the specific combinations of
  • 00:23:11
    artifacts on them first up we have
  • 00:23:13
    Wanderer wander is sort of an on-field
  • 00:23:15
    DPS he's an animal character but he
  • 00:23:18
    doesn't actually want the viridescent
  • 00:23:19
    set he instead prefers something like
  • 00:23:21
    the four piece desert Pavilion
  • 00:23:22
    Chronicles or a two-piece two-piece
  • 00:23:25
    artifact set with really good sub stats
  • 00:23:27
    as we can see from the overall
  • 00:23:28
    attributes my Wanderers level 90 has
  • 00:23:31
    about 1900 attack about 90 percent crit
  • 00:23:34
    rate 190 crit damage 124 energy recharge
  • 00:23:38
    and about 70 animal damage as we look
  • 00:23:41
    into his specific headpiece he has a
  • 00:23:43
    crit damage Helm with 9.3 attack energy
  • 00:23:46
    recharge percent and 10.5 percent crit
  • 00:23:49
    rates it also has flat defense which is
  • 00:23:52
    basically the worst set you can have on
  • 00:23:53
    an artifact but this rolled once into
  • 00:23:56
    attack percent twice into crit rate and
  • 00:23:59
    then once into flat defense so overall
  • 00:24:02
    it rolled three times into stats I
  • 00:24:04
    wanted and only one time into a subset I
  • 00:24:07
    didn't meaning it's a really good
  • 00:24:08
    artifact since I'm running the four
  • 00:24:10
    piece desert Pavilion Chronicle my off
  • 00:24:12
    piece is my animal goblet and it's one
  • 00:24:14
    of the best anime goblets I have
  • 00:24:16
    unfortunately it's not very good but it
  • 00:24:18
    does have crit rate crit damage attack
  • 00:24:20
    percent and unfortunately it has defense
  • 00:24:22
    percent as well this artifact started
  • 00:24:25
    out with three sub stats defense percent
  • 00:24:26
    crit damage and attack percents I rolled
  • 00:24:29
    it to plus 4 and it rolled crit rate
  • 00:24:31
    which automatically made it a really
  • 00:24:32
    good artifact to roll since it had a
  • 00:24:34
    main stat I was looking for as well as
  • 00:24:36
    having crit rate crit damage and attack
  • 00:24:38
    percent unfortunately it rolled twice
  • 00:24:40
    into attack percent it had a low roll
  • 00:24:43
    into crit and it also rolled into
  • 00:24:44
    defense percent so while it's not the
  • 00:24:46
    best artifact it still is quite usable
  • 00:24:49
    next up is my Sans I went with attack
  • 00:24:51
    percent because Wanderer is an on-field
  • 00:24:53
    carry that doesn't need an energy
  • 00:24:55
    recharge Sans and he also doesn't really
  • 00:24:57
    care about Elemental Mastery that much
  • 00:24:59
    even though swirl damage can be nice you
  • 00:25:01
    want to build Wanderer for his damage
  • 00:25:03
    not for swirl damage typically this Sans
  • 00:25:06
    has crit rate flat defense crit damage
  • 00:25:08
    and HP percent unfortunately it rolled
  • 00:25:11
    one time into each of these stats if the
  • 00:25:14
    flat defense or the HP had rolled into
  • 00:25:16
    one of the crit stats it would be a lot
  • 00:25:17
    better but it's still a usable piece
  • 00:25:19
    next up is the feather and this is
  • 00:25:22
    really good because it came with energy
  • 00:25:24
    recharge crit rate and crit damage it
  • 00:25:26
    rolled all into energy recharge and crit
  • 00:25:28
    damage and it also avoided flat defense
  • 00:25:31
    so this is a really good piece because
  • 00:25:33
    it gives wander a lot more energy
  • 00:25:34
    recharge and a lot of crit damage he's
  • 00:25:37
    running a weapon so this is very helpful
  • 00:25:40
    and finally we have the flower which may
  • 00:25:42
    be one of the best pieces I have overall
  • 00:25:45
    this piece has Elemental Mastery crit
  • 00:25:47
    rate and crit damage but the crit rate
  • 00:25:49
    is seven percent and the crit damage is
  • 00:25:52
    30.3 percent this artifact has a very
  • 00:25:55
    high CV or crit value of 44. this is a
  • 00:25:58
    term you may they hear people talk about
  • 00:26:00
    when they're discussing artifacts crit
  • 00:26:03
    value is just the crit rate times two
  • 00:26:06
    plus the crit damage of an artifact
  • 00:26:08
    since this has seven percent crit rate
  • 00:26:10
    then you take that multiply it by two
  • 00:26:12
    for fourteen add that to the crit damage
  • 00:26:15
    of 30 and now your crit value is 44.
  • 00:26:17
    generally anything above 40 crit value
  • 00:26:19
    is considered very very good but crit
  • 00:26:22
    value is not really a real measurement
  • 00:26:24
    it's just something people kind of came
  • 00:26:26
    up with to sort of understand the
  • 00:26:28
    overall strength of crit on an artifact
  • 00:26:30
    piece what's more important than the
  • 00:26:33
    crit value of a specific piece is the
  • 00:26:35
    overall stats it gives to your character
  • 00:26:37
    so if your character really wants
  • 00:26:39
    something like Elemental Mastery or
  • 00:26:40
    energy recharge you have a piece that
  • 00:26:42
    gives a lot of those stats that can be
  • 00:26:45
    better than a high crit value piece
  • 00:26:46
    because the overall combination of stats
  • 00:26:49
    that your five artifacts give are more
  • 00:26:52
    important than just one really good
  • 00:26:54
    piece so that's wander fairly typical on
  • 00:26:57
    field DPS build now let's move on to
  • 00:26:59
    some other characters next let's talk
  • 00:27:01
    about yao yao I built yowyo to be a
  • 00:27:04
    Healer and all field support she's
  • 00:27:06
    running a four-piece deepwood memory set
  • 00:27:08
    and I designed her with as much HP as I
  • 00:27:10
    could because that increases the potency
  • 00:27:13
    of her heels if I wanted to try and make
  • 00:27:15
    her optimized for damage I could give
  • 00:27:17
    her attack percent or Elemental Mastery
  • 00:27:19
    artifacts but I decided that was a much
  • 00:27:21
    more difficult route to go for so
  • 00:27:23
    instead I just went for HP percent
  • 00:27:25
    energy recharge some crit stats because
  • 00:27:28
    she's using a fevonious lance and that
  • 00:27:30
    passive needs to crit so she has to have
  • 00:27:33
    a little bit of crit rate so that she
  • 00:27:35
    can somewhat reliably proc that passive
  • 00:27:37
    and then enough energy recharge to use
  • 00:27:39
    her burst off cooldown if she needs to
  • 00:27:41
    which she really doesn't but it is
  • 00:27:43
    always nice just to have that as you can
  • 00:27:45
    see I have some HP artifacts and they've
  • 00:27:47
    got some really good sub stats and some
  • 00:27:49
    really good roles these were pieces that
  • 00:27:51
    I didn't think I would need but because
  • 00:27:53
    they had really good sub stats I figured
  • 00:27:55
    there would be some healer that would
  • 00:27:57
    want to run deep wood and would want
  • 00:27:59
    some artifacts with these sub stats so I
  • 00:28:02
    kept them when Yayo came out I just
  • 00:28:04
    leveled them up and gave them to her you
  • 00:28:06
    also May notice that a lot of these
  • 00:28:07
    artifacts have extra crit damage that is
  • 00:28:10
    not intentional I don't really care or
  • 00:28:12
    want any crit damage but she does have
  • 00:28:14
    about 50 extra crit damage just because
  • 00:28:16
    the way the artifacts rolled and using a
  • 00:28:19
    healing bonus circlet on her would be
  • 00:28:21
    better for healing than HP percents but
  • 00:28:24
    because I don't have a healing bonus
  • 00:28:25
    circuit that matches anywhere near the
  • 00:28:27
    subsets of my HP percent circuit
  • 00:28:30
    specifically the crit rate and the
  • 00:28:32
    energy recharge I'm using that HP
  • 00:28:34
    percent headpiece on her this gives me
  • 00:28:37
    more energy recharge for my burst if I
  • 00:28:39
    need it but the crit rate is really
  • 00:28:41
    valuable because it allows me to proc
  • 00:28:43
    the fivonius Lance passive more
  • 00:28:45
    frequently yoyo is also using the four
  • 00:28:47
    piece deep wood memory set not because I
  • 00:28:49
    want the dendro damage bonus for her but
  • 00:28:52
    because I want the dender resistance
  • 00:28:53
    shred for potential dendro characters I
  • 00:28:56
    may run Yaya with this includes
  • 00:28:58
    characters like
  • 00:29:00
    who do very well on a deep wood memory
  • 00:29:03
    set but do even better on a gilded dream
  • 00:29:06
    set however to run gilded dreams on
  • 00:29:08
    those characters you need another
  • 00:29:09
    character that runs the deepwood
  • 00:29:11
    memories set so that's where yayao comes
  • 00:29:14
    in she's a dendro resist shredding
  • 00:29:16
    support that can apply some off-field
  • 00:29:18
    dendro as needed she has a little bit of
  • 00:29:20
    crit rate and a fevonious lance to help
  • 00:29:22
    recharge the team's energy and she's
  • 00:29:25
    built for healing so if anyone needs a
  • 00:29:28
    little bit more Health after taking some
  • 00:29:30
    damage she can top them all up because
  • 00:29:32
    yowyo is a really good supporting
  • 00:29:34
    character I fully went into building her
  • 00:29:36
    support instead of trying to build her
  • 00:29:38
    damage so that way whenever I ran her
  • 00:29:40
    with a team specifically with another
  • 00:29:41
    dendro character she could really help
  • 00:29:44
    them out now let's move on to Ryden this
  • 00:29:46
    is a character I've seen a lot on
  • 00:29:47
    account reviews and I wanted to go over
  • 00:29:49
    her specifically because she's a little
  • 00:29:51
    bit different than your average
  • 00:29:52
    character my riding is built to be an
  • 00:29:54
    on-field damage dealer for a short
  • 00:29:56
    amount of time with the four piece
  • 00:29:58
    emblem of the severed fate set however
  • 00:30:00
    you can also build Ryden with a bunch of
  • 00:30:02
    em for dendro and aggravate teams and in
  • 00:30:05
    that style you just build her with as
  • 00:30:07
    much em as possible and you don't care
  • 00:30:09
    about nearly the same level of substance
  • 00:30:11
    requirements that you do for the
  • 00:30:12
    on-field version the version of Ryden
  • 00:30:14
    that I'm running is very effective but
  • 00:30:16
    can also be very stat hungry as I'll
  • 00:30:18
    show you in just a sec so let's go over
  • 00:30:20
    her stats and break down why we're doing
  • 00:30:23
    what we're doing to start she has a
  • 00:30:25
    little over 1600 attack she's got 52
  • 00:30:27
    crit rate about 177 crit damage almost
  • 00:30:31
    300 energy recharge and you see that she
  • 00:30:35
    has
  • 00:30:36
    78.6 Electro damage bonus but she's not
  • 00:30:39
    running an electro damage goblet the
  • 00:30:42
    reason is Ryden has a passive where she
  • 00:30:44
    converts a percentage of her energy
  • 00:30:46
    recharge above 100 into Electro damage
  • 00:30:50
    and so since I have nearly 300 energy
  • 00:30:53
    recharge that means I have nearly 80
  • 00:30:55
    percent extra Electro damage from her
  • 00:30:58
    passive this is allows us to do
  • 00:31:00
    something interesting which is to run an
  • 00:31:01
    attack goblet on her instead of an
  • 00:31:04
    electro damage goblet and that's an
  • 00:31:06
    advantage because it's way easier to get
  • 00:31:08
    an attack goblet with good substance
  • 00:31:10
    than it is to get an electro goblet with
  • 00:31:12
    good substance and because a lot of
  • 00:31:14
    ryden's damage comes from energy
  • 00:31:16
    recharge you really want a high amount
  • 00:31:18
    of energy recharge but you also want
  • 00:31:20
    attack percent crit rate and crit damage
  • 00:31:23
    so for her headpiece she's got a crit
  • 00:31:25
    damage circlet with 14 crit rate which
  • 00:31:28
    is a lot as well as 12.3 percent energy
  • 00:31:31
    recharge again her goblet is an attack
  • 00:31:34
    goblet and it's got 3.5 crit rate 18.8
  • 00:31:38
    energy recharge and 20 crit damage her
  • 00:31:41
    Sans is an energy recharge Sands with
  • 00:31:44
    crit rate crit damage HP percent and a
  • 00:31:47
    couple rolls into flat HP unfortunate
  • 00:31:49
    but the double crit stats and the
  • 00:31:52
    several roles into crit rate make it
  • 00:31:54
    worth using this piece her feather has
  • 00:31:56
    attacked percent crit rate crit damage
  • 00:31:58
    and energy recharge it rolled once into
  • 00:32:00
    crit rate twice into crit damage and
  • 00:32:03
    once into energy recharge making this a
  • 00:32:06
    really really good feather and then her
  • 00:32:08
    flower has crit rate crit damage and
  • 00:32:10
    energy recharge this rolled once into
  • 00:32:12
    crit damage and then all of the other
  • 00:32:14
    roles went directly into crit rate again
  • 00:32:17
    making this a very valuable piece she's
  • 00:32:19
    using the four star weapon the catch
  • 00:32:21
    that you can get for free by fishing and
  • 00:32:24
    this increases your Elemental burst
  • 00:32:26
    damage and Elemental burst crit rate by
  • 00:32:28
    32 percent and 12 respectively because
  • 00:32:32
    you run an energy recharge sands on
  • 00:32:35
    Ryden and not an attack percent Sans
  • 00:32:37
    this is what allows you to run an attack
  • 00:32:39
    percent goblet on her especially with a
  • 00:32:41
    weapon like the catch the energy
  • 00:32:43
    recharge from the catch and the energy
  • 00:32:44
    recharge from your Sans give you about
  • 00:32:46
    200 percent energy recharge before any
  • 00:32:49
    substance from your artifacts this
  • 00:32:51
    increases ryden's Electro damage quite a
  • 00:32:54
    bit but it also makes your attack pretty
  • 00:32:55
    low and this is the reason why you can
  • 00:32:57
    run an attack percent goblet on ride in
  • 00:33:00
    instead of an electro damage goblet
  • 00:33:01
    because you're already getting a good
  • 00:33:02
    amount of Electro damage from her
  • 00:33:04
    passive but since your attack's pretty
  • 00:33:06
    low you want to boost that up because
  • 00:33:08
    when a character wants a bunch of
  • 00:33:09
    different stats crit rate attack em
  • 00:33:11
    energy recharge all of that you always
  • 00:33:14
    see a better boost in damage by leveling
  • 00:33:17
    all of their stats and trying to get
  • 00:33:18
    them to a balance instead of just
  • 00:33:20
    leveling one set all the way this is why
  • 00:33:22
    people don't run all attack characters
  • 00:33:25
    because it's not as good as running
  • 00:33:27
    attack percent Elemental damage and crit
  • 00:33:29
    rate but if you were using ride in
  • 00:33:31
    signature weapon the engulfing lightning
  • 00:33:33
    you would actually want to run an
  • 00:33:35
    electro damage goblet in most cases the
  • 00:33:38
    reason for this is that the passive of
  • 00:33:40
    the engulfing lightning converts your
  • 00:33:42
    energy recharge into attack percent and
  • 00:33:44
    since ride and runs so much energy
  • 00:33:46
    recharge she's getting a ton of attack
  • 00:33:48
    percent from the weapon passive so if
  • 00:33:51
    you were to use an attack percent goblet
  • 00:33:54
    you're being kind of redundant and you'd
  • 00:33:56
    actually get more damage benefit from an
  • 00:33:58
    electro damage goblet and that's why I
  • 00:34:00
    want to go over Ryden because she's not
  • 00:34:02
    the typical character and I've seen
  • 00:34:03
    people with builds all over the place
  • 00:34:05
    for her now let's go over another
  • 00:34:07
    character who's atypical and that would
  • 00:34:09
    be Noel if we look at my Noel she's got
  • 00:34:11
    1500 attack about 1800 defense 43 crit
  • 00:34:16
    rate
  • 00:34:17
    178 crit damage 133 energy recharge and
  • 00:34:22
    46.6 Geo damage she's using the battle
  • 00:34:26
    pass weapon the Serpent's spine and
  • 00:34:28
    she's got a four piece Gladiator set the
  • 00:34:30
    two-piece bonus increases her attack by
  • 00:34:32
    18 and the four piece increases her
  • 00:34:35
    normal attacks by 35 percent now people
  • 00:34:38
    would normally recommend running a
  • 00:34:40
    four-piece husk of opulent dreams on
  • 00:34:42
    Noel which is actually very good however
  • 00:34:44
    I had this four piece Gladiator set and
  • 00:34:47
    the subsets were really nice and
  • 00:34:48
    everything Noel wanted so it was better
  • 00:34:50
    for me to just give this to her than to
  • 00:34:53
    try to farm an entire new four-piece
  • 00:34:55
    artifact set to get artifacts with
  • 00:34:57
    subsets that would equal or match this
  • 00:35:00
    artifact set for only a small additional
  • 00:35:02
    gain and damage and while Noel really
  • 00:35:05
    does appreciate defense she also really
  • 00:35:07
    likes attack because at the end of the
  • 00:35:09
    day attack is what her damage is based
  • 00:35:12
    off of even though she has a special
  • 00:35:13
    ability to convert her defense into
  • 00:35:16
    attack so my headpiece is a crit damage
  • 00:35:19
    circlet it has defense percent as a
  • 00:35:21
    subset which is actually very nice for
  • 00:35:23
    Noel energy recharge which is always
  • 00:35:25
    appreciated crit rate and some attack
  • 00:35:27
    percent as well all those sub stats are
  • 00:35:29
    things Noel wants so this is a very good
  • 00:35:31
    piece my goblet is an offset geo-damaged
  • 00:35:34
    piece that has a lot of energy recharge
  • 00:35:37
    some attack percent and some crit damage
  • 00:35:39
    while this didn't roll extremely well
  • 00:35:42
    just rolled pretty much all into energy
  • 00:35:44
    recharge Noel actually really
  • 00:35:46
    appreciates that because her energy
  • 00:35:48
    recharge requirements are pretty steep
  • 00:35:50
    she doesn't generate any energy
  • 00:35:52
    particles on her own and pretty much
  • 00:35:54
    relies on her whole team to battery her
  • 00:35:56
    so the more energy recharge she has the
  • 00:35:58
    better it
  • 00:35:59
    so again while this artifact itself
  • 00:36:01
    isn't great in the whole scheme of
  • 00:36:04
    things because it gives her a lot of
  • 00:36:05
    energy recharge it's actually pretty
  • 00:36:07
    decent and just to give you an example
  • 00:36:09
    of what I mean by the overall artifact
  • 00:36:11
    stats are your most important I could be
  • 00:36:13
    using this other Geo damage goblet it's
  • 00:36:16
    also an offset goblet from the
  • 00:36:17
    viridescent veneros set it has Geo
  • 00:36:20
    damage as a main stat and 20 crit damage
  • 00:36:22
    flat attack attack percent and crit
  • 00:36:25
    rates most people would look at this
  • 00:36:27
    goblet and say that's clearly better
  • 00:36:28
    than the one that you're using however
  • 00:36:30
    my energy recharge would basically be
  • 00:36:32
    nothing if I didn't have this goblet
  • 00:36:35
    that I have equipped Noel already has
  • 00:36:37
    some pretty severe energy problems and
  • 00:36:39
    it would be really hard for me to
  • 00:36:40
    maintain her Elemental burst so it's
  • 00:36:43
    better for me to be able to use the
  • 00:36:44
    burst off cooldown than it is to wait
  • 00:36:46
    for rotations and lose those precious
  • 00:36:49
    seconds especially in the upper floors
  • 00:36:50
    of the Abyss my Sans is a defense
  • 00:36:53
    percent Sans with flat attack attack
  • 00:36:55
    percent HP percent and crit damage most
  • 00:36:58
    characters want attack percent em or
  • 00:37:00
    energy recharge but Noel really
  • 00:37:02
    appreciates defense because the more
  • 00:37:04
    defense she has the more that she can
  • 00:37:06
    convert to attack for her Elemental
  • 00:37:08
    burst and the more damage her Shield
  • 00:37:10
    does because her Shield is actually
  • 00:37:11
    based off of Defense percent not attack
  • 00:37:13
    percent her feather has crit rates crit
  • 00:37:16
    damage a lot of Defense percent rolls
  • 00:37:18
    and some attack percent which is again a
  • 00:37:20
    perfect piece for her and her flower has
  • 00:37:22
    crit rates crit damage and defense
  • 00:37:25
    percent as well so while Noel is a
  • 00:37:27
    defense scaling damage dealer you can
  • 00:37:30
    see that a lot of the things she wants
  • 00:37:32
    are actually fairly similar to other
  • 00:37:33
    characters she wants a crit headpiece
  • 00:37:36
    she wants an elemental damage goblet the
  • 00:37:38
    only thing that varies is she wants some
  • 00:37:40
    defense percent Sans and defense percent
  • 00:37:42
    roles on her artifact sub stats now
  • 00:37:45
    let's take a look at a character like
  • 00:37:46
    sucrose sucrose is an animal character
  • 00:37:49
    whose entire job is to squirrel shred
  • 00:37:52
    Elemental resistances and cause
  • 00:37:54
    transformative reactions namely swirl
  • 00:37:57
    transformative reactions cannot occur it
  • 00:38:00
    but they do get very strong if you have
  • 00:38:02
    a lot of Elemental Mastery so take a
  • 00:38:04
    look at how I built her she's level 90
  • 00:38:06
    her attack is about 1100 she has 863
  • 00:38:10
    Elemental Mastery she has nine percent
  • 00:38:13
    crit rate no crit damage the base 50
  • 00:38:16
    percent her energy recharge is a hundred
  • 00:38:19
    and nine percent which I honestly wish
  • 00:38:20
    was a little bit higher and she has an
  • 00:38:22
    animal damage bonus of 39 which she gets
  • 00:38:25
    from her Ascension her artifacts include
  • 00:38:27
    an elemental Mastery headpiece with
  • 00:38:29
    defense percent crit rate and a bunch of
  • 00:38:31
    flat stats her goblet is an elemental
  • 00:38:34
    Mastery goblet with attack percent
  • 00:38:36
    defense percent HP percent and flat
  • 00:38:38
    defense which would normally be a
  • 00:38:40
    terrible artifact
  • 00:38:42
    her Sans is an elemental Mastery piece
  • 00:38:44
    with flight attack attack percent HP
  • 00:38:46
    percent and flat HP again normally a
  • 00:38:49
    terrible artifact and she has a feather
  • 00:38:53
    with 40 em 15 attack flat HP and some
  • 00:38:57
    energy recharge and finally a flower
  • 00:39:00
    with HP percent 63 Elemental Mastery
  • 00:39:03
    some energy recharge and some defense
  • 00:39:06
    percent as well her artifacts substet
  • 00:39:08
    roles are terrible but that doesn't
  • 00:39:11
    matter here the only thing that matters
  • 00:39:14
    is that she's using a four-piece
  • 00:39:15
    veridescent set which she is and that
  • 00:39:18
    she's got as much Elemental Mastery as
  • 00:39:20
    she can get which is pretty good
  • 00:39:22
    considering she's got three pieces of
  • 00:39:24
    Elemental Mastery main stat artifacts
  • 00:39:26
    even if the subsets are awful that's
  • 00:39:28
    really all she wants so I wanted to
  • 00:39:31
    highlight these characters because I
  • 00:39:32
    wanted to show you that you don't need
  • 00:39:34
    to build every single character like a
  • 00:39:35
    DPS you don't need to give them a bunch
  • 00:39:37
    of attack not every character even needs
  • 00:39:40
    crit rate some characters just want a HP
  • 00:39:42
    energy recharge or Elemental Mastery if
  • 00:39:45
    they're triggering transformative
  • 00:39:46
    reactions overall it takes a good
  • 00:39:48
    knowledge of your characters their kit
  • 00:39:51
    what they're designed to do and how to
  • 00:39:53
    build them properly and what teams they
  • 00:39:55
    work in if you're confused about that or
  • 00:39:57
    if you need some help feel free to stop
  • 00:39:59
    by my stream on Twitch and I'd be happy
  • 00:40:01
    to help you out figure out a team that
  • 00:40:03
    would work well for you as well as how
  • 00:40:05
    to build certain characters now there's
  • 00:40:07
    one more thing I want to cover and this
  • 00:40:08
    is what we lovingly call the scam box or
  • 00:40:11
    the artifact strong box you'll get to a
  • 00:40:14
    point where you can unlock this at the
  • 00:40:15
    alchemy table but be warned while this
  • 00:40:18
    can be a good way to get artifacts like
  • 00:40:20
    the virodes inventor which is an
  • 00:40:22
    incredibly good artifact set but a
  • 00:40:24
    terribly inefficient domain to farm
  • 00:40:26
    because he'll get a lot of maiden's
  • 00:40:27
    beloved pieces which are just really not
  • 00:40:30
    that useful anymore the artifact
  • 00:40:32
    strongbox or scam box is also horribly
  • 00:40:35
    inefficient even though you can use it
  • 00:40:37
    to get some really hard to farm
  • 00:40:38
    artifacts like the Gladiators finale
  • 00:40:40
    Wanderers troop or just really
  • 00:40:42
    inefficient domains to farm like the
  • 00:40:44
    viridescent veneros set it's not
  • 00:40:46
    recommended that you try this method
  • 00:40:48
    until you've basically built all the
  • 00:40:50
    characters that you want because it
  • 00:40:52
    takes three five star artifacts to get
  • 00:40:55
    back one five-star artifact now you can
  • 00:40:57
    put three of any random artifact you've
  • 00:41:00
    chosen to get back one artifact that you
  • 00:41:02
    selected however the artifact you get
  • 00:41:04
    back is going to be totally random and
  • 00:41:07
    it's usually not very good you could get
  • 00:41:09
    back a random feather flower timepiece
  • 00:41:11
    Sans or a circle it and you don't get to
  • 00:41:14
    choose their main stats and obviously
  • 00:41:16
    not their sub stats either so this is a
  • 00:41:18
    big risk especially when you're losing a
  • 00:41:20
    three five star artifacts to do so now
  • 00:41:23
    obviously because the result is totally
  • 00:41:25
    random you'd only want to put bad 5 Star
  • 00:41:28
    artifacts in here but unless you're just
  • 00:41:30
    totally swimming in extra artifacts it's
  • 00:41:33
    much better to use those bad five star
  • 00:41:35
    artifacts to level up good 5 Star
  • 00:41:38
    artifacts artifacts are very expensive
  • 00:41:40
    to level and take a lot of artifact
  • 00:41:43
    experience to go from 1 to 20 so unless
  • 00:41:45
    you're in Phase 4 or phase five I would
  • 00:41:48
    totally avoid the scam box entirely
  • 00:41:51
    unless you're farming multiple
  • 00:41:53
    four-piece artifact sets from a really
  • 00:41:55
    efficient domain like the emblem of the
  • 00:41:57
    severed fate and you get a bunch of
  • 00:41:59
    let's say shimmy Nala pieces that you
  • 00:42:01
    feel like you're never going to use and
  • 00:42:03
    you want to get a four piece viridescent
  • 00:42:04
    set at the same time in that scenario
  • 00:42:07
    you might be swimming with extra
  • 00:42:08
    artifacts you don't feel like you're
  • 00:42:10
    ever going to use and you might feel
  • 00:42:11
    like it might be a better use of your
  • 00:42:13
    artifacts to try and scam box some
  • 00:42:16
    iridescent pieces then to try and run
  • 00:42:18
    the maiden's Beloved domain for resin
  • 00:42:20
    that's not a bad way to do things but
  • 00:42:22
    again the results are totally random so
  • 00:42:25
    I know we've done a lot but let's do a
  • 00:42:27
    quick recap with rapid fire big tips to
  • 00:42:30
    help you in your artifact Journey we
  • 00:42:32
    went over the basics of the artifact
  • 00:42:33
    system how to level them up which
  • 00:42:35
    artifacts can have what main stats and
  • 00:42:37
    sub stats and the big tips here we're
  • 00:42:39
    leveling your five star artifacts to
  • 00:42:41
    Plus teen if you're newer and don't have
  • 00:42:43
    a lot of five star artifacts maxed out
  • 00:42:45
    and leveling your artifacts to plus 12
  • 00:42:48
    if you're a veteran who does have a lot
  • 00:42:50
    of five star artifacts maxed out the
  • 00:42:53
    other big tip was to make sure your
  • 00:42:54
    artifacts substance overall are really
  • 00:42:57
    good and not try to force a 4-Piece set
  • 00:43:00
    if the sub stats and the main stats on
  • 00:43:02
    your artifacts are not good with the
  • 00:43:04
    only possible exceptions being something
  • 00:43:06
    like a four piece viridescent venerer or
  • 00:43:09
    a four piece deep with memories which
  • 00:43:10
    can be really useful for your whole team
  • 00:43:12
    so it might be okay if a support
  • 00:43:15
    character takes the hit and doesn't have
  • 00:43:17
    the best main set or sub stats on those
  • 00:43:19
    artifact sets next we went over the five
  • 00:43:22
    phases of artifact farming what you
  • 00:43:24
    should focus on in each phase as well as
  • 00:43:27
    what artifacts you should give up and
  • 00:43:29
    which ones you should keep the big tip
  • 00:43:31
    here is that anytime you find an
  • 00:43:33
    artifact with really good substance it's
  • 00:43:35
    always useful to keep it even if you
  • 00:43:37
    don't have a place for it because you
  • 00:43:39
    might get a character or they might
  • 00:43:41
    release a care character that would
  • 00:43:43
    really want that artifact with those
  • 00:43:45
    combinations of sub stats we also
  • 00:43:47
    covered specific characters and looked
  • 00:43:49
    at their kits and what artifacts they
  • 00:43:51
    wanted and why I chose the artifacts I
  • 00:43:53
    did the big takeaway here is that you
  • 00:43:55
    want to look at a character's kit
  • 00:43:57
    evaluate where they're going to be in
  • 00:43:58
    your team what role they're going to
  • 00:44:00
    serve and then you want to build
  • 00:44:01
    artifacts around those factors again if
  • 00:44:04
    you need some help I'll be on stream
  • 00:44:06
    daily so you can come say hi ask me or

    anyone in chat and they'll be happy to
  • 00:44:10
    help you out finally there's a scam box
  • 00:44:12
    which you can use to get costly or
  • 00:44:15
    inefficient to farm artifacts like
  • 00:44:16
    Gladiators Wanderers troop or the Verdes
  • 00:44:19
    inventors set but again the big tip here
  • 00:44:21
    is not to use this feature at all unless
  • 00:44:24
    you just have tons and tons and tons of
  • 00:44:26
    artifacts because it's almost always
  • 00:44:27
    better to use your bad 5 stars to level
  • 00:44:29
    up your good 5 stars with the exception
  • 00:44:32
    that you can use this game box earlier
  • 00:44:34
    if you plan to keep farming one domain
  • 00:44:36
    over and over and over and so you'll
  • 00:44:38
    replace some of the mediocre pieces you
  • 00:44:40
    get from that domain anyway ways I hope
  • 00:44:43
    this has been helpful and not too
  • 00:44:44
    overwhelming I know it's a lot of
  • 00:44:46
    information so feel free to jump around
  • 00:44:48
    to various sections or come back later
  • 00:44:51
    to the video as it becomes more relevant
  • 00:44:53
    to you but I wanted to be thorough
  • 00:44:56
    because it was apparent that a lot of
  • 00:44:58
    people did not know this information
  • 00:45:00
    based on helping them build and improve
  • 00:45:02
    their accounts as well as draft and
  • 00:45:04
    build teams and now that you know all
  • 00:45:07
    about artifacts if you want to find out
  • 00:45:08
    how to level your account the most
  • 00:45:10
    efficient and effective way possible
  • 00:45:12
    while also avoiding a lot of the major
  • 00:45:14
    headaches people who don't know any
  • 00:45:16
