Genshin Impact Artifacts Guide 6.7: Best Sets, Main/Substat Priority, Roll Value & Farming

A full artifact set has 5 pieces — the first 2 have a FIXED main stat, the last 3 roll randomly from a pool:

• Flower of Life: fixed main = flat HP.
• Plume of Death: fixed main = flat ATK.
• Sands of Eon: random main from HP%, ATK%, DEF%, Elemental Mastery (EM), Energy Recharge (ER%).
• Goblet of Eonothem: random main from HP%, ATK%, DEF%, EM, Physical DMG%, or one elemental DMG% (Pyro/Hydro/Electro/Cryo/Anemo/Geo/Dendro — only one type per piece).
• Circlet of Logos: random main from HP%, ATK%, DEF%, EM, CRIT Rate, CRIT DMG, or Healing Bonus.

Main stat priority by role: main DPS → Sands ATK% (or EM for Swirl/reaction-scaling builds) · Goblet elemental DMG% matching your element (or Physical DMG% for physical builds) · Circlet CRIT Rate/CRIT DMG at a roughly 1:2 ratio. Support/sub-DPS needing fast Energy → Sands ER% before ATK%. Healers → Circlet Healing Bonus, Sands HP%/ATK% depending on the character's healing formula.

There are 10 possible substats: flat HP/ATK/DEF, HP%/ATK%/DEF%, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge, CRIT Rate, and CRIT DMG. General priority for most DPS builds: CRIT Rate ≈ CRIT DMG > ATK% > Elemental Mastery > Energy Recharge > HP%/DEF%/flat stats (supports/tanks flip ER% and HP%/DEF% higher). The community uses Roll Value (RV) to measure a substat roll as a % of its theoretical max — a perfectly-rolled 4-substat 5★ piece tops out around RV 900%. For crit stats specifically there's a shortcut called Crit Value (CV) = CRIT DMG + CRIT Rate × 2, with an ideal CR:CD ratio of 1:2; a piece rolled entirely into crit substats maxes out around CV 54.4. CV is a fast estimate only — it does NOT replace comparing real DPS between two pieces on your actual build; plug your real numbers into our damage calculator for the exact DPS difference.

Ranked by USAGE BREADTH (how many characters/teams it's actually good on), not raw damage on one specific character:

• SS (near-universal): Emblem of Severed Fate (support/sub-DPS building toward a big burst), Golden Troupe (any off-field skill DPS), Marechaussee Hunter (Normal/Charged Attack, crit-rate stacking).
• S (backbone of a whole element/role): Crimson Witch of Flames (Pyro Vaporize/Melt), Viridescent Venerer (Anemo Swirl), Deepwood Memories (Dendro RES shred), Gilded Dreams (EM reaction builds), Noblesse Oblige (party-wide ATK on burst).
• A (strong but character/team-specific): Blizzard Strayer (Cryo), Thundering Fury (Electro reactions), Heart of Depth (on-field Hydro), Wanderer's Troupe (catalyst/bow EM), Vermillion Hereafter/Nighttime Whispers/Song of Days Past/Unfinished Reverie (bespoke sets tailored to specific 4.x-5.x characters).
• B (4★/3★, filler or off-piece only): most 4★ sets (Berserker/Instructor-type ATK+utility) are best treated as placeholder pieces until you get the right 5★ main stat, not worth long-term farming.

For which set fits which specific character or team, check our Genshin teams page and character tier list to prioritize the right farm order.

Exact 2pc/4pc numbers for the sets used most across the community:

• Emblem of Severed Fate: 2pc ER +20%; 4pc increases Elemental Burst DMG by 25% of ER, up to +75%.
• Noblesse Oblige: 2pc Burst DMG +20%; 4pc using a Burst grants the whole party +20% ATK for 12s (doesn't stack).
• Viridescent Venerer: 2pc Anemo DMG +15%; 4pc Swirl DMG +60%, lowers the swirled element's RES on the enemy by 40% for 10s.
• Crimson Witch of Flames: 2pc Pyro DMG +15%; 4pc +40% Overloaded/Burning/Burgeon DMG, +15% Vaporize/Melt DMG; using a Skill adds 50% of the 2pc bonus for 10s (up to 3 stacks).
• Golden Troupe: 2pc Skill DMG +20%; 4pc +25% Skill DMG, plus another 25% (50% total) while off-field.
• Marechaussee Hunter: 2pc Normal/Charged Attack DMG +15%; 4pc whenever HP rises or falls, CRIT Rate +12% for 5s (up to 3 stacks).
• Gilded Dreams: 2pc Elemental Mastery +80; 4pc within 8s of a reaction, +14% ATK per same-element teammate (up to 3) and +50 EM per different-element teammate (up to 3).
• Deepwood Memories: 2pc Dendro DMG +15%; 4pc after Skill/Burst hits, enemy Dendro RES -30% for 8s (triggers even off-field).

Gift from Heaven (v6.6): 2pc ER +20%; 4pc grants the whole party +20% elemental DMG (40% with 2+ Arkhe/catalyst-leaning characters), numbers matching between Japanese and Korean sources. Aimed at magic-focused supports/sub-DPS who need both Energy and party-wide buffing.

Disenchantment in Deep Shadow (v6.7): 2pc ATK +18%; 4pc +80% Superconduct DMG and +16% CRIT Rate when hitting a Superconducted enemy — purpose-built for Superconduct/Cryo-Electro reaction teams like Sandrone's. Transparency note: the 80%/16% figures currently come from community research plus a leak cross-checked between English and Korean sources — they are NOT yet officially confirmed in live game data as of 6.7's launch, so treat them as reference numbers until the domain goes live and gets re-verified. Since both sets are brand new, it's worth pre-farming them the moment their domain unlocks rather than waiting until you actually pull the character, since resin trickles in slowly day by day.

Artifacts mainly drop from Domains of Blessing (artifact-specific domains) — each domain always drops 2 fixed sets paired together (typically one offensive set + one support set, or two sets sharing an element). Recommended thresholds: skip domains before AR30 (low difficulty, weak rewards), AR30-44 is just for learning the mechanic, and AR45+ is when serious farming starts, since that's when the highest domain difficulty unlocks, guaranteeing at least one 5★ piece per 20 Original Resin spent.

Besides domains, there are free artifact sources that cost no resin: overworld Investigation points (glowing spots on the map that refresh daily), reward chests from the Spiral Abyss, occasional drops from elite enemies/Local Legends, and some quest/event rewards. These trickle in unevenly but add up over time — worth grabbing before pouring resin into domains.

Stop farming a domain once your character hits a "good enough" build (right main stat + enough ER + reasonable CV for the role) — redirect resin toward another character or domain instead of chasing one last perfect piece, since the odds of an optimal roll are extremely low.

Strongbox (Mystic Offering, unlocked at AR45): sacrifice 3 same-set 5★ pieces to get back 1 random piece from that exact set. Great for "targeting" one specific set when a domain drops 2 sets and you only want one of them. Keep feeding Strongbox output back into more Strongboxing and the efficiency approaches 2 five-stars → 1 (re-strongbox).

Artifact Transmuter (unlocked from v5.0 via an Adventurer Handbook quest): spend Sanctifying Elixir to directly "define" a piece exactly how you want it — the set, the main stat, and 2 chosen substats, capped at 2 pieces per set per cycle. This is the most reliable way to guarantee the right main stat, at the cost of resources that build up gradually.

Reshaping: lets you pick 2 of the 4 substats on an EXISTING piece and reallocate all its enhancement rolls onto just those two (guaranteeing at least 2 rolls land there), using Dust of Enlightenment — cuts down on having to farm an almost-perfect piece all over again from scratch.

Upgrading/EXP: the rarer the piece, the more EXP it needs to max level (per community data, 5★ pieces need by far the most total EXP, with 4★ and 3★ needing much less — this specific figure comes from a single source, see the FAQ section), consuming Mora plus other artifacts or Sanctifying Oil as EXP-boosting fodder.

1. Don't force a 4pc bonus with garbage pieces: if a domain only gives you wrong-main or bad-substat pieces, a 2+2 combo (say, 2pc ATK% + 2pc EM/elemental) is often stronger than forcing a full 4pc with low-quality pieces. Off-piece 4+1 (4 pieces of your main set + 1 loose piece from another set with a better main stat) is also perfectly valid when your main set's 5th slot doesn't roll the main you need.

2. Pick stats by reaction type: Transformative reactions (Superconduct, Overloaded, Spread, Aggravate) scale only off character level + Elemental Mastery (EM), NOT ATK or CRIT — so lean into EM builds/Gilded Dreams. Amplifying reactions (Vaporize, Melt) multiply directly on top of ATK/CRIT damage already dealt — so build ATK%/CR/CD as usual, with EM as a secondary stat at most.

3. When to start and when to stop: start farming seriously at AR45 (see the farming section above); stop once a character is "good enough" for their team role — no need to chase an absolutely perfect piece before moving on to the rest of the game.

4. Quick glossary: Main stat = the biggest stat line at the top; Substat = up to 4 smaller supporting lines; Off-piece = a piece from a different set kept for its better main stat; RV/CV = see the scoring section above.
