Should you farm the new Artifact Sets? | Genshin Impact 4.0 Artifact Sets Analysis

hello beautiful people and welcome hi to a video about the new upcoming artifact sets in 4.0 now the artifact sets have been officially announced but I will be talking about about some of the leaked characters in the second portion of this video when I focus on the Malaysia crit artifact set so if you don't want to hear about any leaks just be aware of that I thought I put timestamps for like when the league start and when they stop so you can use that if you want to avoid leaks but the rest of the video is just going to be focusing on the effects of the artifact sets on the currently available roster so let's just start right into it basically just categorized all the characters and how well the set works for them when it comes to these characters right so we're gonna start by talking about the uh golden troop artifact set which gives you 20 skill damage on the two piece and then the four piece gives you 25 skill damage increased by an additional 25 when you're not off when you're not on field uh and which stays active for two seconds when you do swap on field now the way that this works is at least I would not expect the damage percent effect from that to be snapshotable which means I expect it so that even if you don't have the buff and you cast this Notch audible ability and then you swamp out I do expect you to actually gain it but the reality is that there's no real convention for this hoyo has been very inconsistent when it comes to which Buffs can snapshot and which Buffs can't even Buffs that are awarded incredibly similarly like the Ali Hunter and the serpent spine buff well serpent spine snapshot but Ellie Hunter doesn't so just be aware that it is possible it doesn't work exactly like this that being said it almost just doesn't matter because the characters that have a Snapchat ability and that then want to be swapped out it very often will snapshot it before they are on field for two seconds and the ones that don't snapshot well won't be affected by this anyways obviously it's a massive buffed official I think that's like the the by far the biggest change from the artifact set is just going to be a massive Buffs official for those of you who didn't know officials Ascension for talent is actually considered the elemental skill damage which means that it will actually get increased unless they just decide to specifically make it not work for it which would again be very consistent but inconsistency hasn't stopped Hoyle from scavengers before so it is still possible they decide to just make it not work right this is considered a mental skill damage so that means that the new set is going to increase her damage basically all of her damage except the burst initial cast which is on skill damage everything else that Fishel does at least all the electro damage that she does I guess you could count her physical hits but come on uh is Elemental skill damage which means that almost all of her damage is gonna get a pretty massive increase it hovers around 15 of an increase versus other sets uh it can basically range anywhere between closer to 10 and closer to 20 or maybe even more but generally it's about 15. it's a very big increase from an artifact set like that that's POG that's very good official loves that uh that being said she is not the only character who will benefit from this uh characters like yaimiko can also benefit from it quite a bit Yeah you won't benefit from it as much as Fishel does because her Elemental burst won't benefit from it at all so that means that when you're looking at early situations where there's enough enemies that your verse represents a majority of your damage the set can actually be a downgrade over other available options but I'd say that in in most situations it will be an upgrade and it's a pretty decent one of that for those of you who didn't follow League Cycles like beta Cycles uh this set actually got buffed from one version of the beta to another it used to be a total of sixty percent now it's a total of 70 I think that's because they didn't want the set to be only used for official and that additional 10 was actually enough to make a difference for so many characters and I think I would include the eye in that where before the buff it was her best set in a bunch of teams but there were also a lot of teams where it just wasn't really worth using in my opinion but with that buff I think that it is worth using so yeah a pretty big buff for your eye and then another character that people might not think about too much is gomc now people don't think about geomc because geomc kind of sucks and that's fair uh but uh if you do play them then you will deal damage less than two seconds after swapping in which means that you effectively gain 70 skill damage and gomc's Elemental skill is the main is their main source of damage which means that if you are using geomc in your team for like Battery Plus damage it will be their best set there's an argument to be made for emblem if you also need the ER to also be good because UMC does do a little bit of damage with burst as well like the burst isn't useless but if you're if you're playing Doom MC ultimately you're getting your e explosions to hit the enemy as well right so for those of you who don't know gomc has I think it's a constellation that makes it so that when your e gets destroyed it will explode and deal the same damage that it did when you summoned it but that also includes when it gets destroyed by you summoning a fourth geoconstruct or when it gets destroyed by by just expiring because it's been out for too long which means that every single Elemental skill can have the potential to hit twice and oh that can be an issue when enemies are just not tanky enough to survive long enough for for you to be able to do four different skills and like that though that's part of why JMC is not that good overall if you do focus on that play style and you like it then it is a nice a nice thing to have for it but yeah next uh I'm gonna be talking about the three characters where it's also a very good set but I mean it's also a very good set but there are a few mitigating factors that make it a bit less good than on these three so versus nahida with nahida if you're not on Fielding her so you're like all of your damages coming from your skill it's basically just strictly better than gilded assuming you managed to balance out your your em anyways so the thing is if you're using gilded especially if you're using an em weapon with gilded you get a lot of Elemental Mastery and you can't go triple em otherwise you're gonna be over 1000 Em which will be not very good right like you don't really want that if you use the exact same artifacts on uh golden true as you do on gilded it's not actually going to be an increase in damage because well you're gonna be at like 600 em instead of 800 but if you use an em goblet instead of a dendro goblet for example it will actually be stronger for the skill damage now I only calc for like one level of investment it is possible that there are some kind conditions that can make gilded slightly better and I don't think that the difference is like huge enough to justify farming for a whole new set if you already have a good gilded set for her but it's just a nice thing to know if you don't already have a good guild set for her and you're not really interested in farming that domain but you are interested in farming the domain for some of your other characters right like if you're using nahida in Quicken teams where she's the only dendro unit you don't really want her own deepwood because well you're reducing dendrovez for only her and then deepwood is only about as good as the damage options and not just like strictly better like it is an hyperbloom and virgin teams and if you are playing her in a quick and team with only one dendro it is actually fairly likely that you have official on the team and Fishel wants the new skill set so you can kind of knock out two birds with one stone and uh consolidate your artifact forming all in one domain which is nice but it's not worth going for the artifact just for her next up is Albedo where it's basically just a very similar thing uh well the main difference that the other characters with Albedo or in Albedo's teams often want husk just like him which makes it a little bit more questionable to farm him to form the new artifact for him but it can be a slight increase under certain circumstances and I would say for most people it would be a slight increase but not a very big one and finally Hazel it can be very good for hazel for the same reasons why it can be very good for geomc because most of Hazel's damage comes from Elemental skill but a bit less of less appealed with zero Stocks by the time you get four Stacks the buff will have expired so we have to swap out and then swap back in which means that at least for the first rotation your first e uh it is going to require a slightly different setup than you might otherwise be doing which might not be worth it to some but I I say that but Hazel is like hazel is like a carry is just not a very good character so if you're willing to play a Hazel Hyper Team you're probably willing to learn a new rotation just for it which is why I'm still putting it in like competitive and then finally you have the characters for whom the new set like the new skill set can be good but only for like Niche builds or meme builds so farazon if you have C6 ferozan you they basically used to be that you would strictly want to use Tom on her now you also have the option to build her for damage instead although you would still like build for damage on Tom but like you now have the option to give her a set for damage rather than a set for support they're about as good as each other I haven't done like in-depth calcs on a lot of different situations my expect is that it's gonna be slightly better than Tom if you're not vertically invested if you don't have like constellations on your Wonder or shell stuff like that and slightly worse if you do one thing to keep in mind though is Tom does buff Shield strength which actually can make a pretty big difference at least in Wonder teams maybe a bit less in show teams then still to some extent and Shout Out teams uh having a stronger Shield is not something that you'll always notice but you'll notice not having it basically so I would still like if if I had C6 ferozan I probably still would use her in Tom but it is a new option for for her build which is you know good to have next up Amber it's no secret that Amber is not particularly good but if you want to go for a funny funny number uh Baron bunny C2 explosion build the new set can work for that uh you will have to be careful because if you swap into her use e aim and shoot I don't actually think it's possible to do all of that in less than two seconds so you would have to like use e swap out and then swap back to her and shoot but Amber Mains are very dedicated so I think that's that's definitely something they might be willing to do uh so yes it's like it's a bit of a niche thing it's definitely not great but if if that is a build that you're interested in doing then this can actually be very good for it ubedo kind of a similar thing like Beto's Perry is not what makes her good what makes her good is her burst but her Parry is funny and it does big number so if you want funny big number then you can use the set on her Gene doesn't really have a good set in a lot of teams in teams are a cheesier only animal character obviously you're gonna use DV integer use her with other animal characters maybe you want her on Nobles but if someone else is on Nobles it kind of restricts kind of just don't have a good thing first you can use her on the new set but it's it's just whatever Glee kind of similar thing it's not gonna be her best set for sustained damage but if you like funny funny hump jumpy Dumpty damage she does actually front load a lot of motion value with her e it's like almost a thousand motion value atone level nine and you have two charges of it so you can get funny funny numbers funny funny jumpy Dumpty big damage cool POG which is a bit of a mean thing but it works again similar thing for sucrose right if you want a double e double e nuke another thing for sorry Ling if you want a globa first thing so I actually don't think it's as Niche I think that people very often underestimate how much damage you can get from singsos E uh on the average team it is not gonna be good but if you're playing specifically the Super's national team with him uh on sack sword then you can actually front load a lot of damage with this skill and it can be a viable set for him even though I probably would still just stick to Nobles if you want to play microwave John Lee right so focusing on doing these e damage uh if you want your Boomerang to do a lot of damage but yeah like all of these characters it's like maybe I should separate farazon from the rest but at least all than for Arizona it's it's not a good thing it's just like you can use it if you want the funny numb with the funny ability to do a funny number but that's basically it uh all in all this set is actually huge for the other characters at the very least though and I think it's nice to have a skill damage Focus set in the game next let's talk about the Malaysia Hunter set two piece gives 15 normal and charge attack damage the four piece gives you 12 crit rate when your HP changes so whether you lose HP by consuming it with an ability or getting a hit or you restore HP or assuming they don't have their coding if you increase Max HP mid combat with stuff like Elon C4 right those things will give you 12 crit rate and you can get up to three stocks of that okay um what we're gonna start with trigger it at a Baseline right in order to get it from heels you need to take damage beforehand and there's a lot of enemies that have attacks that are either incredibly slow or don't do that much damage or they do deal damage but they also stagger you a lot and then if you don't have a form of saga resistance of resistance or interruption in your team then you don't even want to like get staggered like that point being right now we don't have a good way of gaining stocks on like just any character like the character needs to be able to have something in their kid that will play around with their health in order to be able to use it very well however it is possible and in my opinion fairly likely that we eventually get a support who consumes their teammates Health which would make this set potentially a lot stronger if we do get that a lot of characters are gonna be able to use it all of these characters that I've included here and honestly some of these two probably but mostly these would be all the characters that would benefit a lot I didn't put too much thought into comparing them to other options uh available but 36 could raise a lot of crit rate so even characters that don't focus on normal and charge attacks for the two piece will still be able to use the set now the issue is that if there is a character that comes out and does that just doing that isn't enough to justify being put on a team right like they need to also synergize with the team in some way so even if a character comes up that does that it might only apply to some of the characters here rather than all of them so just keep in mind if there is a character release in the future that consumes their teammates HP a lot of characters I'm not gonna talk about are going to be viable with them so let's start by talking about ciao the new set is good on channel however Vermilion is also good on ciao Vermilion just gives a lot more stats than the new set does but the specific stuff that it gives is a bit less good the equivalent of more sub stats basically of attack than you gain crit rate with a new set but attack isn't as good as credit so it's basically going to boil down to a case-by-case scenario where if you have a lot of external attack Buffs like Bennett and you know you're not using a crit weapon we're gonna end up over 100 crit rate the critside can be better but in other situations Vermilion will be better all in all is going to be a competitive option with Vermilion but the main difference is that well the other side is a broken ass Elemental skill set versus echoes which makes the domain a lot less resin inefficient to form so I think a lot of people might actually end up using the new set on ciao Xiao is obviously not the only character that consumes his own HP when it comes to at least like on-fielders you also have hutao and Daya who can kinda the thing about Daya is that emblem is too good on her because she's just way too energy hungry so it's just not going to be better than emblem if you're that's e0 if you get to C4 and get the ER refund then it can be better and it is better than her quote-unquote signature set the the varukusha's glow her quote unquote signature set is really bad so yeah but if you are specifically either assessment like you have a six day or it's it sucks and that you're not gonna be able to have a good time all the way throughout and you just want to have one really high damage Elemental burst followed by 83 years of batterying one almost viable damage Elemental burst then you can use the set but other than that it's it's its emblem next hutau now the thing with hutao is yes she consumes her own health but she also doesn't really want to be played with healers and the only healer that provides enough for the team to actually be worth playing in her teams is bad technically you can also play her with diona but now if you're playing her with Banner the first time you use your Elemental skill you will be at 70 HP and I won't heal which means that for your first Elemental skill you will only be at One Stop Now the second time you use it you'll go below 70 HP and Bennett can heal you and if you're using relatively low HP pieces on your Bennett like a plus zero flower whatever and when I heal you less than twenty percent of who tells HP then you can get two Bennett heels instead of one which will fully stack the artifacts there now from the wording I would expect stocks duration to get refreshed whenever you gain a new one because usually when stock duration is independent they say it but again Mojo is not the greatest at consistency so I'm going at it with that expectation but it is possible I'm wrong so just know that then you'll be over 70 HP and then on the third rotation or you'll consume some of your health again but this time it's gonna be harder to hurt him at Bennett it heals you twice because you'll be closer to 70 HP after using your e basically over a long duration you'll average out about two stocks per rotation just straight up from your self damage and healing from Bennett but your first one will be at only one and your second one will be at three that can get increased if you get hit but usually getting hit is not something you want and it's not gonna be the most reliable thing now at one stack it's not very good like it's it's fine but it's not as good as the other options at two it is actually fairly competitive and I three stocks it's very good all of this to say specifically with the one hutau team where you use Vena which is VV Vape with uh hutau Bennett kazoha thing toe or something like that there can be situations where the set is good outside of that I don't expect it to be reliable enough that being said who doubt does have a bit of interruption resistance in her kit and you get even more from singtel which means that it's a bit less punishing to take hits so you might still be able to stack it but then you're relying on enemy RNG which is a bit more more scuffed uh next up I want to talk about ayato ayato is like basically the only character sometimes you end youth in burgundy Fielder not the one who triggers The Virgins and basically every triggering bird origin or is one that doesn't really want to build for damage anyways right so either well if you're playing the Thundering furry you're going to be using Razer yeah I mean you can use kokomi as well but kokomi can't quit so it doesn't matter anyways by being an onfield character that cares about creating version teams and then not only that but also in normal attack focus on field character he has a reliable way to solve damage with the Virgin procs and he cares about normal attacks so he can fully suck the passive and take advantage of the 15 normal attack damage bonus which makes the new set actually really good on him in those teams however Ito is good in a lot of different teams so it's only one of his many teams where this is good so it's still not like wow insane for him and then the last one of the non-leaked characters that included honestly I don't know if I should include Chang Ling the reason why I'm including her is because I know that people actually do set up speed runs with with characters like changling or like sometimes people want a speed run chamber two or three and if you do that then you can set up a speed run with channeling by having channeling be at like 2 Hp or for the chamber is over and then you can potentially stack the set before you use your burst and I would expect it to be snapshotable but again hoyo and consistency are not the they're not a match made in heaven honestly I don't even know if I should include her I am I I think it's it's it's my sailing bias showing but it is a thing if you're interested in channeling speed running I guess now let's move on to content relating to leaks so there's three League characters that are actually going to be good with this new set for those of you that have looked at least might might know that is a skill damage focused character but he's an on-field skill damage focused character so he doesn't he loses out on 25 of the of the damage from the new skill set so it's not actually very good on him outside of him right we have Lenny it is his signature set he can consume his own HP and he's a turtle attack focused character it's good on him it's his best set it's good and next up we have Lynette who for whom it's it's a little bit more sus because well it can't like she does have a way of consuming her own HP it only happens after she does most of her damage like when you're using Lenny you'll do a charge attack now when you're above 60 Health using a charge attack will consume 20 of your health he'll go down to 80 and you'll be at one stock by the time your charge attack hits after that you do second charge attack it happens again but then this time Bennett's buff proxy red Three Stacks already with Lynette assuming that it is snapshotable in order to take full value to full advantage of it you'd have to eat but wait four seconds and then burst and your e wouldn't benefit from it only your burst one it's not four seconds it's like two seconds yeah it's every second so up to three seconds that you'd have to wait in order to use your burst assuming that it is not thoughtable so it's it's fine on her but it's not like it's not the default set I'd use on her basically I default to other things most of the time and finally we have a High domain character who's pre-release I still haven't recorded because I've been procrastinating because I just don't want to admit how dog High domain character is it can be used on Hydra MC the thing is hydronium sees damage is so garbage that it's hard for me to recommend using a set that focuses on his damage or per damage and I'd rather just use something like the Bliss but even then like some of your damage coming from skills some some of your damage is coming from burst if you manage to land every bursit which is basically impossible it's just not gonna happen but in a perfect world where you do versus more damage than skill in reality skill is more damage than burst because your burst is not all Landing as it's not happening things don't work like that so if you are focusing on damage this is actually a decent set right like you're getting basically you will consume some of your own health if you're holding your e so that's cool but it's just yeah don't expect great things uh but yeah that basically does it for for the two sets I wanted to the the two new upcoming sets I think the skill set is like just a huge thing to have just in general the HP set is a little bit more Niche but I do see the possibility that in the future it'll just be like it'll be basically more versatile than emblem like that's how good the effect can be assuming you have a way to reliably get it if you know which enemy you're fighting in advance and you know that it's enemies that change your HP a lot like Rift hounds uh the new set might actually be just straight up very good on all of these characters already without needing a character that consumes their own a stream but it won't always be the case so that's just something to keep in mind and that's gonna do it so thanks for dropping by and I will see you guys in the next one bye YouTube [Music] thank you
