[Guide] Predicting 2x Artifact Upgrade Bonus + Substat Patterns

From Guide (Permanent)

Over the year of 320 days playing the game, I have upgraded a lot of artifacts (120 to date), so much so that I have started to notice a pattern that never fails to appear.


Requirements:

- Feed 1☆ fodder about  ±10 times in a row

- If you switch artifact midway, the counter is still on

‘Feel out’ where the next 2x bonus is by using 1-star fodders.


Potential Patterns:

The potential result can come in 1 of 3 possibilities.


#1 First Possibility

If 2x once, will usually 2x again in the next 2 turns.

Example:

2x

1x

2x

What I usually do is:

- First 2x arrives

- I use 5☆ fodders to feed the artifacts on the next 1 or 2 times.

- If nothing happens, then I go right back to feeding 1☆.


#2 Second Possibility

The pattern is:

2x

2x

The bonus comes one right after another.

The reap the benefit from this pattern, this is what I usually do:

- First 2x arrives

- I use 5☆ fodders to feed the artifacts on the next 1 or 2 times.

- If nothing happens, then I go right back to feeding 1☆.

Most of the time, the trick works.


#3 Third Possibility

The last possibility is,

The next 2x only comes after 20 times upgrade.

When you encounter this, the next chance for a 2x bonus is reset (go back to the top of the page).


5x is much harder to predict. After maxing out about 10 artifacts, I finally got 1 recently.


I should also clarify that I typically feed 1☆ into my artifacts, which might contribute to the long count.


Though typically 2x and 5x bonus comes with even worse substat luck.


Beware when approaching max cap though. Sometimes it might give 2x right when you're about to feed full. If you'd like to avoid wasting your 2x, it's better to only use 1☆ when you're about 20% full when between lv.19 to lv.20.

*The following instructions might require some basic knowledge from prequel


Generally, it is inadvisable to keep upgrading if results are already not ideal on lv.12.


Substat Patterns:


Roll Type: Only 2

1x crit dmg (lv.4)

1x def (lv.8)

2x crit dmg (lv.12) & (lv.16)

1x def (lv.20)

The pattern goes back to initial spot, and only falls between 2 substats. This is a pretty decent piece to gamble on, especially at such an positive outlook on lv.16.

Roll Type: Always Flat

1x hp

1x hp

1x hp

1x hp

1x hp

I see a lot of people complaining when they maxed out on all-flat on pieces like this, but they could have avoided all of this by stop rolling on lv.12 already, because at that point, no matter how good the next 2 rolls are, it still will not be able to compare to your more OP pieces.

Though at least if you feed this piece, the next results can't get any worse than this.


Roll Type: 1 of Each

1x hp (lv.4)

1x def (lv.8)

1x crit rate (lv.12)

1x crit dmg (lv.16)

1x def (lv.20)

Same situation as above. If it's not good enough to have decent stats for you, you can already trash it at lv.12.
