Picking the Best Artifacts
Farm Artifacts Until You Get the Right Stat
The best way to pick the right artifacts is to keep on getting new ones from domains and enemy/boss drops. Keep in mind that stats are randomly generated and every artifact has specific main stats and substats assigned to it. This means that you might not get your ideal stats straight away.
Same artifacts can have different stats
Artifacts with the same name and rarity can have completely different stats. It's worth noting that substats also vary, which is why you need to keep finding new artifacts with the desired stats.
Here are the number of substats each artifact has when you get them, based on rarity:
Rarity | Number of Substats |
---|---|
★★★★★ | 3~4 |
★★★★ | 2~3 |
★★★ | 1~2 |
When Can You Get The Best Artifacts?
From Adventure Rank 45 Onwards
The best time to get the right artifacts is when you reach AR45 onwards, where clearing domains guarantee you get 5-star artifacts.
You can also get 5-star Artifiacts at Adventure Rank 40
You can also obtain 5-star artifacts from domains when you reach AR40. However, the chances of getting 5-star artifacts is not guaranteed, unlike at AR45.
Don't Worry if You're Adventure Rank 35
Chances of getting a 5-star artifact at AR35 or below are very rare, which means you might not be able to find your preferred artifacts early in the game.
How to Get the Best Artifacts
1 | Clear domains and beat Boss enemies to get 5-star artifacts |
2 | Raise artifact level to 4 to add new substats (If you have at least 4 substats, proceed to 3) |
2 | Check if you have the right substats for your build. |
4 | If the stats do not fit your build, go back to 1 |
1. Go Around Artifact Locations
Explore and Clear Domains
Each domain allows you to obtain artifacts from a specific set. This is why it is best to repeatedly clear a specific domain to get the best artifacts for your build. When viewing your map, change your markers to Domains only
to find the nearest domains to clear.
List of Domains
Defeat Boss Enemies
Clearing Boss encounters allows you to get some of the best artifacts in the game. Unlike artifact domains, however, most 5-star artifacts cannot be obtained until reaching World Level 6. The Gladiator artifact set can only be obtained from Boss enemies.
Take a Look at the Stats
After defeating a boss, you will receive high rarity artifacts. You can also repeat the same encounter if you want to obtain more artifacts if the main stat is not what your character needs.
2. Enhance Artifact By 4 Levels
All artifacts receive a new substat after enhancing them by 4 levels, until you get 4 substats. Once you have 4 substats, each one can be upgraded after enhancing it by 4 more levels. This helps you increase a new stat, which can improve your overall build.
3. Check if You Have the Right Substats
After enhancing and receiving new substats, check if they complement your character. If the substats fit your needs, keep enhancing your artifact!
4. If the Substats Do Not Match, Repeat from 1.
While new substats give you a great boost in certain categories, they still might not match your ideal artifact build. If you still don't have the right substats, repeat the process all over again.
