Finding the perfect artifact set for your characters is a huge part of the fun in Genshin Impact! You want those shiny 5-star artifacts to have amazing substats, but getting them isn’t always easy. Don’t worry, there’s a method to the madness!
Understanding the Basics
First, let’s talk about Crit Rate and Crit DMG. These are the stats that make your character’s attacks hit super hard!
- Crit Rate: This is the chance your attack will be a critical hit, dealing extra damage. You want a good balance here!
- Crit DMG: This is how much extra damage your critical hits will do. A higher Crit DMG means your attacks will pack a bigger punch!
The Ideal Ratio
Ideally, you want a 1:2 ratio between Crit Rate and Crit DMG. This means for every 1% Crit Rate, you have 2% Crit DMG. Here’s why:
- Crit Rate: If you have too little Crit Rate, you won’t be getting critical hits often enough to take advantage of your Crit DMG.
- Crit DMG: If you have too much Crit DMG, but a low Crit Rate, you won’t get those critical hits often enough to make a difference.
Hunting for the Perfect Substats
Now, for those amazing 5-star artifacts! Here’s what to look for:
- Main Stats: You’ll want to prioritize the main stats that are best for your character’s role (e.g., ATK% for DPS, Energy Recharge for Support).
- Substats: This is where the real fun (and frustration) begins! Here’s a general priority:
- Crit Rate/Crit DMG: Always look for these first! Aim for a balance, keeping the 1:2 ratio in mind.
- ATK%: This is usually a good secondary stat for DPS characters.
- Elemental DMG Bonus: This stat increases the damage from your character’s specific element (e.g., Pyro DMG Bonus for a Pyro character).
- Energy Recharge: This is very important for characters that rely on Elemental Bursts.
- Defense% and HP%: These stats are usually less important, unless your character specifically needs them.
Artifact Farming Tips
- Don’t Give Up: Grinding for good artifacts can be a long and tedious process. Be patient! Keep farming and you’ll eventually find some good ones.
- Focus on Domains: Pay attention to which domains drop artifacts with the substats you need.
- Use Resin Wisely: Use your resin wisely! Try to focus on domains that are most likely to give you the artifacts you need.
- Check Your Stats: It’s crucial to check the stats of your artifacts frequently. Don’t be afraid to replace an artifact even if it has a decent substat, if another one is much better.
- Consider Artifacts Sets: Some artifact sets have special effects that can boost your character’s performance. Remember to consider the benefits of the set when choosing your artifacts!
Remember, finding the perfect artifact set is a journey, not a destination. Keep farming, keep experimenting, and you’ll eventually find the best build for your characters!
