Exclusive Sneak Peek: Unveiling Spectacular New Artifact Sets in Genshin Impact 40 Update

Two upcoming artifact sets have been leaked for Genshin Impact version 4.0, which will bring the new Fontaine region. Artifacts and weapons are crucial components of character builds, greatly influencing their strength in battle.

In Genshin Impact, each character can equip up to five artifact pieces, each offering different stats such as increased elemental damage or flat HP. Developer HoYoverse typically introduces one new artifact set in each update, tailored to the playstyle of a specific character in the game's roster.

The release of the highly anticipated Fontaine region has generated great excitement among fans, with beta leaks already uncovering a wealth of upcoming content, including new characters, weapons, and explorable landscapes. Officially, the game has announced three new playable characters - Lyney, Lynette, and Freminet - all of whom will be accessible in the forthcoming Genshin Impact version 4.0. Additionally, a recent post on the Genshin Impact Leaks subreddit has divulged details about two new artifact sets that will be introduced in the same update. The first of these sets, called Golden Troup, offers the following bonuses:

- Two-piece bonus: Enhances Elemental Skill damage by 20%

Four-piece bonus: Provides an additional 20% damage buff on the character's Elemental Skill. This effect can be further increased by 20% if the character is not on the field.

This set is designed for characters whose abilities are focused on their Elemental skill, such as Yae Miko or Fischl, both being Electro users. Some fans believe that equipping this set could greatly enhance these characters and elevate them to S-tier status, as their playstyle often involves using their Elemental Skill before switching out.

However, it is worth noting that this set can also benefit other DPS or support characters in Genshin Impact, as it offers one of the highest Elemental Skill buffs available in the game. The second set, known as Marechaussee Hunter, provides the following effects:

Content:

Two-piece bonus: Enhances Normal and Charged Attack effectiveness with a 15% damage boost.

Four-piece bonus: Whenever the wearer's HP changes, their Critical Rate will surge by 11% for a duration of 5 seconds. This effect can be accumulated up to three times.

The comment section is filled with fans who assert that this artifact set will become the preferred option for upcoming five-star DPS characters who primarily rely on Normal and Charged Attacks to deal damage. Additionally, this set can also be utilized by several existing Genshin Impact DPS characters like Cyno, Razor, and Itto, all of whom heavily depend on their Normal Attacks for their damage output.

Genshin Impact can be played on PC, PS4, PS5, and mobile devices.
