How you build your character in Genshin Impact is incredibly important for not only beating higher-level enemies and domains but also for team synergy. Some characters can be built for damage or defense, with plenty of options for your playstyle. The most important part of building characters in Genshin Impact is artifacts, which grant high boosts to different stats depending on the artifact. Here is everything you need to know about artifacts.
What are artifacts?
The five artifacts equipped to a Genshin Impact character
Artifacts are equipable items that give individual characters an increase to one specific attribute and up to four bonus attributes. These can include an increase in health, defense, attack, or other attributes, either in a base number increase or a percentage increase. Similar to weapons, artifacts are separated by rarity, going from one star to five -stars. Artifacts can also be leveled up, which will increase the artifact's main stat and either add an additional secondary stat or increase one of the current secondary stats.
All artifacts are also part of specific sets that offer bonus stats if you equip either two or four artifacts in the same set. There are five artifact types: Flower of Life, Plume of Death, Sands of Eon, Goblet of Eonothem, and Circlet of Logos. The Flower of Life artifacts always have HP as their main stat and the Plume of Death always have ATK. The rest of the artifacts can drop with different main attributes.
