"The types of Artifacts (Flower, Plume, etc.) were inspired by tarot cards and the poem " Auguries of Innocence" written by William Blake.Artifacts often take the form of items from bygone days, and their previous owners are usually described in the artifacts' descriptions. Sub-stats include HP, HP%, ATK, ATK%, DEF, DEF%, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge%, Crit Rate%, and Crit DMG%.Īrtifacts are manifestations of memories and ideals. For every 4 levels that an artifact gains, an additional sub-stat is added unless the artifact already has 4 sub-stats, in which case a random sub-stat is upgraded. Main stats include HP, HP%, ATK, ATK%, DEF%, Elemental Mastery, Energy Recharge%, Elemental Damage Bonus% for each of the 6 playable Elements, Physical DMG Bonus%, Crit Rate%, Crit DMG%, and Healing Bonus, but not all stats are available for all artifacts.Īlong with the main stat, artifacts have up to 4 sub-stats that are all different from the main stat. Its value at each level is determined by the stat and the artifact's rarity. There are also NPCs who sell 2★ artifacts.Īrtifacts can be equipped on characters from the Character > Artifacts > Switch Menu or the Inventory > Artifacts > Details > Fast Equip Menu.Įach artifact has one main stat, determined by the artifact's type/slot.
