Genshin Impact 2.1 is less than a week away. We have confirmed the upcoming events, banners, bosses, and received some highlights of the continuation of the Archon Story!
Here's all of the new Genshin Impact 2.1 weapons and artifacts that will soon be live.
Inazuma artifacts
Emblem of Severed Fate
2 piece set: Energy Recharge +20%
4 piece set: Increases elemental burst damage by 25% of Energy Recharge. A maximum of 75% bonus DMG can be obtained in this way.
This artifact is great for supports. It looks like its tailor made for Baal, the electro archon who will be available very soon.
Shinemawa’s Reminiscence
2 piece set: ATK +18
4 piece set: When casting an elemental skill, if the character has 15 or more energy, they lose 15 energy and normal/charged/plunged attack DMG is increased by 50% by 10 seconds.
So far a very niche artifact, it's useful to some extent for Yoimiya and Ganyu (evaporate). 2 piece boost of damage is useful, considering Gladiator Artifacts are hard to get.
