Back in v1.4 I made a guide focused on Artifacts. Part of it was to talk about the RNG issue most of us have had with them.
As more sets appear with new mechanics the meta is changing from having desirable substats on every Artifact to which Artifacts you even plan on using and the kinds of substats that work best for them.
For example Sayu benefits most from focusing on a pure Elemental Mastery build using Viridescent. It helps her more than the typical Crit stuff because most of her damage will come from causing Swirl reactions.
Now with these 2 sets one is flipping the healing meta on its head. I'm sure it was meant for Kokomi but by making this set for her MiHoYo's opened the door for a DPS Barbara and might have made Qiqi relevant again.
And to think players used to consider her one of the best 5*s. Hopefully you'll get your justice Qiqi. And drop for me on the Standard already! I'm just missing you! -ahem-
The other one is likely meant for Itto but with Albedo's rerun and having just gotten a freebie Xinyan this set would be great for that very niche style too.
Eventually it'll be time for the RNG to leave the system. Maybe we could even get a new system like players have been asking where we can either bring substats from garbage Artifacts to ones we will be raising or have an item similar to the Sanctifying items that produce substats.
Side note: How long ago did we get the expansion to our Artifact Inventory? This update right? 1000 > 1500. I looked at my old topic and I was at only 4*s and 5*s in my overloaded inventory. That was back in April. I'm already at the same spot with nothing but 4 and 5* Artifacts in the expanded inventory. That didn't last long. [emoji]
