How do I get the best artifact rolls for my Heizou build?

Getting the Best Artifact Rolls for Heizou

Heizou, the Anemo sword user, is all about dealing damage with his swirling attacks. To maximize his power, you need to focus on building him with the right artifacts. Here’s a breakdown of how to get those perfect rolls:

The Main Goal: Maximize Swirl Damage

Heizou’s damage comes from two main sources:

1. Normal Attacks: He’s a sword user, so his base attack is important.
2. Swirl Reactions: Heizou’s Elemental Skill and Burst create a lot of Anemo damage, which then triggers swirl with other elements.

Therefore, you want to build him to amplify both his base attack and swirl damage.

The Artifact Sets:

1. 4-Piece Viridescent Venerer: This set is the core for maximizing Heizou’s swirl damage. It boosts both Anemo damage and increases the damage of swirling reactions.
2. 2-Piece Viridescent Venerer + 2-Piece Gladitor’s Finale / Shimenawa’s Reminiscence: This combination offers a good balance of attack boost and swirl damage. It’s a great option if you struggle to find perfect Viridescent Venerer pieces.

Artifact Stats to Focus On:

• Sands of Eon: Choose ATK% for increased base attack.
• Goblet of Eonothem: Select Anemo Damage Bonus% to directly boost your Anemo attacks.
• Circlet of Logos: Pick Critical Rate or Critical Damage, depending on your current build. Aim for a 1:2 ratio of Crit Rate to Crit Damage.
• Sub-stats: Look for ATK%, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and Energy Recharge. Energy Recharge is crucial for Heizou’s Burst uptime, especially if you’re using the 2-piece Viridescent Venerer + 2-piece combo.

Crafting the Perfect Rolls:

• Main Stat Rolls: The main stats are fixed and determined by the artifact’s type. Focus on getting the correct main stats first.
• Sub-stat Rolls: This is where the real optimization comes in. When upgrading an artifact, you want to prioritize these sub-stat rolls:
  • Crit Rate and Crit Damage: These are the most important sub-stats for damage.
  • ATK%: Boost your overall attack power.
  • Energy Recharge: Ensures you can use Heizou’s Burst frequently.
• Perfect Rolls: The ideal rolls for Heizou’s artifacts are:
  • Sands of Eon: ATK% (Main) with high sub-stats in ATK%, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and Energy Recharge.
  • Goblet of Eonothem: Anemo Damage Bonus% (Main) with high sub-stats in ATK%, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and Energy Recharge.
  • Circlet of Logos: Crit Rate or Crit Damage (Main) with high sub-stats in ATK%, Crit Rate, Crit Damage, and Energy Recharge.

Artifact Farming:

• Domain: Valley of Remembrance (Mondstadt): This domain is the best place to farm Viridescent Venerer artifacts.
• Domain: Clear Pool and Mountain Cavern (Liyue): You can farm Gladitor’s Finale or Shimenawa’s Reminiscence here if you need the 2-piece set combination.
• Patience: It takes time to find good artifacts, so be patient! Keep farming, and you’ll eventually get those perfect rolls.

Tips:

• Don’t be afraid to level up lower-level artifacts: If you have an artifact with good sub-stat rolls, even if it’s only +0 or +4, level it up! You can always replace it with a better one later.
• Use your Artifact Strongbox: This handy tool allows you to store artifacts that you might want to use later.
• Use the artifact set bonus filter: This makes it easier to find the specific artifact sets you need.
• Don’t forget about the "Artifact Strongbox" and the "Artifact Set Bonus Filter" in your menu! They are helpful for finding the right pieces.

Remember, getting the best artifact rolls for your Heizou takes time and effort. Keep grinding, and you’ll eventually be able to unleash the full potential of this swirling whirlwind!
