Artifacts Loadouts

I feel like artfact loadout problem has become more apparent since Columbina release. She herself can run 3 sets, depending on your teams. On top of that, now you can build your characters in many different ways, such as Luna-related/traditional/Furina's MH/ and many more. Instructor set becomes farmable mean more usage too.

At this point. It's not about minmaxing if you try hard anymore. If you like to try playing different teams (which is the main point of Genshin Impact Combat), changing artifacts depending on what you need, become essencial to even day-to-day players.

My only opinion on artifacts is to make them easier to get. With weapon/talent materials, bosses and weekly bosses, then mora and adventurer handbooks which all need resin to improve a single character and weapon. It doesn't leave much resin left over for artifacts. That mixed with the abysmal rng for getting the right main stat and then 3-4 good substats means it could take several weeks just to get 1 decent artifact, unless you drop all character advancement and use 100% of your resin on artifacts. Then you might get 1 decent artifact a week. Also the fact we can't generate any of these artifacts using fodder yet and only being able manufacture a good artifact once every 2-4 months. It's frustrating. I've spent all my resin for the last 6 days on trying to get artifacts for Columbina. So far I have been rewarded with 1 artifact that's ok to use and it's a feather. I wish that the bonus artifact you get during Stygian was also the process for shrines. Get a bonus artifact every 60-80 resin. I honestly don't think it's that unreasonable considering the value of resin and how bad the rng is.

That, I don't think they are fixing. Whales use resin refresh to get good artifacts early or building chracters more easily. IT's not reasonable but prices we pay for a free game.

But there is hope with MW. IF some one create one grete gamemode/ and get enough intrection with ytber or streamers, we might get another way to enjoy the game without engaging in rng on top of still being part of a community.

I gave up on Hoyo giving us loadouts

Zestyclose-Ad16302026-01-18 16:17

I still believe they are coming. There are many QOL since fontaine and many are very useful. The reason It was not added yet is to use it for big updates, as the DEVS LISTEN thing. It's kinda a necessary evil to keep engagement as a live service game IMO

VaultOfTheSix2026-01-18 20:41

I am skeptical that they will give us what we “want”. They have already (recently) given us what they “think we need” for Artifact loadout capability. (See “Fast Equip” options UI for characters. It’s not great.)

Vegetto_ssj2026-01-18 16:00

Exactly! How many teams Im leaving because I don't mind to change 1-2 builds everytime. My Mavuika is Scroll since August because Im tired to change builds (yes, basically she is a subdps in my account now); my Lauma has 2 builds (support - dps), and also there, is so boring that Im holding her dps build (ps. Sacrificial + Columbina= Lauma Main dps, Im really excited). My Yoimiya has 4 fucking teams and she needs specific pieces for each team.
And yes, Lunar comps; everyone needs different pieces depending on the team.

I just hope that now more players will wake up, intensifying the Loadout requests on the surveys/email, and don't replay with shits like the usual "Yall want it only because you want share your unique set among all your characters and not farming"

SaberWaifu2026-01-18 16:10

I've been asking for it back in 1.0 when it wasn't even a big deal for my account. Now it's probably the biggest deal and it's still unresolved.

What's funny is that they've been constantly giving us more artifact QoL updates (some of which are even actual downgrades), which means that they can clearly see our requests and they simply choose to leave the most asked of them unanswered.

Zestyclose-Ad16302026-01-18 16:23

hope for 7.0 trust. My theory is they are easing players into character building with those QOLs. When there is enought people who understand them, I have no doubt they will add them. Now with MW update gerneral playerbase knowledge on game is also improving.

DaSpood2026-01-18 16:11

Yeah she's the first character for which I genuinely felt the need for more than 1 set. DPS vs support is completely different.

My artefact loadout is called Kaveh right now lol

Zestyclose-Ad16302026-01-18 16:26

Yea, her + teams she enables. My Noelle has like 3 sets, depending on the mood and character I want to see on screen. I feel like it's not worth playing my less meta teams because it's pain in the S to change them.

MiniMages2026-01-18 18:53

I have different builds for Mauvika. Like wise also for characters from other regions.

This isn't a new issue, we just gave up completely after MiHoYo gave us a garbage system.

Vaiolette-Westover2026-01-18 19:19

This is not an example of loadout being crucial unlike Raiden.

Between these three sets the damage difference is negligible.

VaultOfTheSix2026-01-18 20:02

Artifact load kits do exist, and can accommodate 3 different configurations. However it is scuffed AF.

In the “Fast Equip” menu options you cannot alter what the game decides is best for “Quick Config”, which defaults to artifact stats and sets that are most popular for the character.

The other two load outs you can configure — except you do so via defining stats and sets you want to prioritize— rather than getting to define by discrete artifact pieces (which is what/how most people want to be able to build their load outs by)

I’ve been able to use this fairly well, and have multiple load outs for many characters. But make no mistake — it’s clunky. Give it a whirl and let us know what you think!

MemeManUnableToCan2026-01-18 20:12

They would've added them back in Sumeru at the latest if they cared about the players. But as of now, it's one of those additions that they know players want (and every other game has), and yet they're still actively refusing to add it for some reason. At least with a skip button, I understand that they'd lose tons of playtime stats if they added it, but what are the cons of adding loadouts?

VictorRZero2026-01-18 22:19

This will be released sooner or later, just like the skip dialogue button. Video game companies nowadays tend to create a "problem" and then "create" the solution, making it seem like they care about their games or their community, when in reality it's all marketing, and it will always depend on the state of the game. If the community as a whole really came down hard and stopped playing the game and spending money on it, this would have been in the game since the 2.x edition when both were already problems.

What's an artifact loadout?

Frozenmagicaster2026-01-19 00:23

just a set of artifacts that you can easily swap between

~~easier example with my scroll ttds vs dps Mualani~~

If I'm playing a dps Mualani she would be on codex, which would be its own set of artifacts. Then if I'm using her with Skirk she would have to swap to a completely different set (Scroll) so she can buff Skirk, so I would have to manually swap all of the artifacts and when i'm done, remember which ones she was on to swap that back, with a loadout I could just freely swap between the full 5 artifacts whenever I want to and not go through all that extra effort

Frosty__Love2026-01-19 01:16

Omg thats so annoying 😭😭😭

thank uu I get it

Hryzzo2026-01-19 01:25

After 5 years requesting that and 2 other hoyo gacha games being released while also not having a loadout system, I can pretty safely say that hoyo doesn't want a loadout system

PoleManual22026-01-19 01:53

At this point, Hoyo should just let MW creators do the loadout.

They made an amazing free training dummy, so why not let them do the loadout for free too

Former_Shoulder91152026-01-19 02:26

If I use Colombina C6 as DPS and plan to bring Lauma and Ineffa, which of those 3 artifacts should each one carry?

Low_Artist_76632026-01-19 13:55

If you have c6 characters artifacts are irrelevant

Meettherubbish2026-01-19 21:41

Hate to burst.your bubble but they still are relevant. This tells me you dont clear hard endgame content.

Low_Artist_76632026-01-20 01:09

Every fearless SO cleared f2p.

Meettherubbish2026-01-20 01:35

1. The guy has only one c6 character

2. Until you've broken the dire market f2p with even 1 single team, don't go around saying artifacts are irrelevant to c6 owners because clearly you have never even tried dire with it'shigh dps check. Especially when it's a dps bina who very much needs good artifacts and lauma/ineffa to do good damage even at max cons. Go see dhcwsp who literally has everything in the game c6 and r5 and still manages to do low damage/high damage/mid damage however he wants to just by playing with his artifacts.

Costyn172026-01-19 02:47

The only reason I could think for Hoyo not wanting real loadouts is because it would just make it easier for people to reuse the same artifacts on multiple characters instead of farming for everyone.

Will you be fine with loadouts if the same artifact can't be saved on loadouts for multiple characters at the same time?

falt_blader2026-01-19 05:07

It's all about stat optimization. For some reason, Hoyo is deliberately making things harder than they should be. I wouldn't mind if Columbine could equip two or three artifact sets, but I simply can't get those three sets. With the current terrible artifact system, it's completely impossible. Some players collect one artifact set per month. And that's if you're lucky. We need a proper system that will help players collect more artifact sets, at least with good stats.

Low_Artist_76632026-01-19 13:56

Just stop asking for 50cv artifacts and you'd be set in a week.

RinRonsen2026-01-19 05:22

I just accepted that in the advent of DPS testers being a thing, my premium teams will perform worse compared to f2p friendly teams just because I can't be bothered to manage artifacts without loadouts.
