Artifacts can be defined as character equipment in Genshin Impact. They’re the gear pieces for your character in most of the RPG games with the ability to boost character stats such as ATK, DEF, HP, etc. In this guide, we’ll explain everything you need to know about artifacts and set-bonuses in Genshin Impact.
Genshin Impact Artifacts
In Genshin Impact, you can equip your character with a total of 5 different artifacts in 5 different slots. These slots are:
- Flower of Life: HP
- Plume of Death: Attack
- Sands of Eon: Elemental
- Goblet of Eonothem: Damage Bonus %
- Circlet of Logos: Critical
All of the artifacts have a rarity level in the game. It can be 1-star to 5-stars – 5-stars being the most rare. The max upgrade levels of these artifacts are as follows:
- 1-stars to Max Level 4
- 2-stars to Max Level 8
- 3-stars to Max Level 12
- 4-stars to Max Level 16
- 5-stars to Max Level 20
Also, keep in mind that you can only upgrade artifacts using other artifacts.
Main Stats
Every artifact has a main stat that depends on the type of slot it belongs to.
Sub-Stats
Every artifact gains a sub-stat with every 4 levels of upgrades, meaning artifacts can have a maximum of 4 sub-stats which are also totally different from the main stat.
Set Bonus
Each type of artifact you equip is part of a certain ‘set’ i.e. Berserker, The Exile, Gambler, etc. When you equip 2 or 4 different artifacts within the same set, it gives you either a 2-piece or a 4-piece special bonus. The type of the bonus i.e. Attack or HP depends on the type of set you’re choosing the artifacts from. There are also 4 one-piece bonuses in the game and simply selecting one artifact will trigger these. All the set bonuses in Genshin Impact are as follows:
