BEGINNER ARTIFACT GUIDE
One piece.
A clearer decision.
Start with a character you enjoy. You do not need to grade your entire inventory today.
1. Choose the character’s job
Open Improve and choose how you want to use this character. Read their short lesson first. The equipment advice belongs to that playstyle; switching the job can change what matters.
2. Read the big stat first
An artifact has a main stat and smaller substats. A stat’s usefulness depends on what the character’s abilities use. Start with the guide’s main-stat choices, then look at its priority substats.
In QueenGenshin, a guide match tells you why a piece is worth looking at. It is not an overall damage score.
3. Keep the whole set in view
Set bonuses depend on the combination you equip, and some effects have conditions. Check all five pieces and the selected character’s role before replacing one. A useful-looking piece can still break a set effect you wanted.
“Will this piece still let my character do the job described in the guide?” Check the set count, main stat, conditions and other teammates affected.
4. Compare before committing
Check who currently uses the piece. QueenGenshin keeps other characters’ equipment out of the default review. If the app supports a complete-build comparison for your setup, review its assumptions. Otherwise, practise under comparable conditions and note what changes.
You can keep your current build while you investigate. Seeing an alternative is not a command to spend materials, destroy a piece or take a teammate’s equipment.
