Try to look for Artifact sets with bonuses that directly boost your active character's damage in some way. Ideal Substats to try and acquire for this role are ATK%, Crit Rate, Crit DMG, and potentially Elemental Recharge or Elemental Mastery. If you plan on using a character as the main damage dealer of your team, then you will likely want to seek out an ATK Sands, an Elemental/Physical DMG Bonus Goblet, and a Crit Rate or Crit DMG Circlet for them (whichever brings them closest to a 1:2 ratio of Crit Rate:Crit DMG). However, if that sounds like more effort than you bargained for or if you'd simply like to experiment with different Artifact combinations on your own, then there are a few guidelines you can follow to equip any character with a generally decent build. When building a character's Artifacts you'll likely want to consult a character-specific guide to learn which Artifact stats and sets are best on them. This discrepancy carries through their upgrades, meaning Substats that start higher will stay higher. For instance, two Artifacts might both have ATK% Substats, but one might be +4.2% ATK while the other is +5.7% ATK. Whereas Main Stat values are always uniform, Substat values can vary by a small degree. Not only is difficult to acquire an Artifact with the ideal kinds of Substats, but it is even harder to ensure that the Substats have good values. Every four levels after this point (at Levels 8, 12, 16, and 20), one of the Artifact's Substats will randomly be chosen to receive an upgrade. If the Artifact had four Substats to begin with, then one of them will be upgraded randomly. At Level four, an Artifact with only three Substats will gain a fourth. The Substats that an Artifact can receive are completely random within this pool, but an Artifact will never have a Substat that is the same as its Main Stat.

All Artifacts can draw from the same pool of Substats, which include: Having four Substats to start with is technically better but also much rarer.

The first buff grants characters of the same elemental type as the character that the Artifact Set is equipped to a 14 percent attack increase and the second buff grants characters of a different elemental type from the character that the Artifact Set is equipped to an elemental mastery increase of 50.In addition to Main Stats, five-star Artifacts will also start with three or four Substats. These buffs are granted within eight seconds of an elemental reaction activating and can be triggered once every eight seconds. The four-piece set grants two types of buffs depending on the specific elements of each character in the active party.The two-piece set increases elemental mastery by 80.The effects that the Gilded Dreams Artifact Set grants to the character it is equipped to are as follows. Once players have made their way to this location and interacted with the Domain for the first time, they will then be able to unlock the ability to teleport to the Spire of Solitary Enlightenment Domain from anywhere in Teyvat. This Domain can be found right near the edge of The Chasm and is situated northeast of Gandha Hill.
