Highlights:
* Artifact Sets boost a character’s abilities by giving them different Elemental and non-elemental buffs.
* Emblem of Severed Fate and Husk of Opulent Dreams are some of the most powerful Artifact Sets.
Artifacts in Genshin Impact are similar to armor. They are pieces of equipment that can be equipped to boost a character’s capabilities. All artifacts have a Set-boost which comes into play once players have two or four pieces of a specific Artifact set equipped on their character.
There are over 20 Artifact Sets in HoYoverse’s popular gacha game. While the best artifacts for a character are released in Tevyat alongside the character’s banner, some other Sets can also provide buffs that can be crucial for eliminating tough enemies and Bosses.
Best Artifacts In Genshin Impact
When considering the best artifacts in Genshin Impact, it is important to mention that some artifacts can be a viable option for some characters while being a terrible option for others. For instance, the Fragment of Harmonic Whimsy Artifact Set suits Arlechhino because it manipulates her Bond of Life ability to boost her damage. The same, when applied to other characters, isn’t effective as most don’t have BoL abilities.
Listed below are the best artifacts in Genshin Impact and the reason why:-
Emblem of Severed Fate Set
Emblem of Severed Fate can be obtained daily runs in the Momiji-Dyed Court Domain. It is the perfect artifact for Raiden, one of the best DPS characters in the game. Other characters can also find the artifact set boosting their powers tremendously.
A 2-piece Emblem of Severed Fate Set can give 20% Energy, ideal for Support characters to get their Specials ready quickly, while a 4-piece Set increases Elemental Burst by 25% of Energy Recharge. It can stack up to 75% DMG, regardless of the Element of the character.
Husk of Opulent Dreams Set
Version 2.3 introduced the Husk of Opulent Dreams Set. It is one of the best artifacts in Genshin Impact because any character can use its 2-piece Set to gain an impressive 30% Defense. However, the artifact has better use with its 4-piece Set as Geo characters like Noelle, Gorou, and Yun Jin can buff their Attack and Defense simultaneously.
Husk of Opulent Dreams 4-piece Set gives the unique Curiosity buff to its wielder. The character gains 1 stack of Curiosity after dealing Geo damage and when not in combat, the character gains 1 stack every 3 seconds. Curiosity can stack up to 4 times and each buff provides 6% DEF and a 6% Geo DMG bonus.
Crimson Witch of Flames Set
Those who love to blast their enemies with constant Pyro damage will adore the Crimson Witch Flames Set. While its 2-piece Set provides a small 15% Pyro DMG boost, the 4-piece effect is one to behold. It increases the effectiveness of the most powerful elemental combinations in Genshin Impact such as Overload and Vaporize.
4-piece Crimson Witch Flames Set increases the damage of Overloaded, Burning, and Burgeon by 40%. Moreover, it increases the damage of Vaporize and Melt by 15% while increasing the overall Pyro DMG by 30%. Naturally, the Artifact Set is only effective on Pyro Element characters.

Viridescent Venerer Set
Viridescent Venerer is a somewhat underrated Artifact Set since most players don’t use Anemo characters to apply Swirl on enemies. Nonetheless, it is the perfect Set for Venti, Xiao, and Kazuha. The 2-piece Set gives a 15% boost to Anemo DMG whereas the mighty 4-piece Set increases damage dealt by Swirl (Anemo + Pyro/Electro/Hydro/Cryo) by 60%.
Additionally, it decreases the opponent’s resistance to Elemental damage by 40% based on the element infused in the Swirl. This facilitates effective teamplay. An enemy who is prone to Pyro damage, thanks to Swirl, will get increased damage from Pyro attacks already boosted by Crimson Witche Set.
Other Sets worth mentioning are Golden Troupe (Hydro DMG), Nymph’s Dream (Hydro DMG), and Blizzard Slayer (Cryo DMG). They provide significant buffs to multiple heroes and heroines in the character list of Genshin Impact.
