A new artifact domain will appear in The Chasm, where players will be able to farm two new artifacts that will be introduced in version 2.6. The new artifacts are Vermillion Hereafter and Echoes of an Offering and have the same two-piece set bonus as Gladiator’s Finale and Shimenawa Reminiscence.

View the Genshin Impact Intermediate guide here.

The Vermillion Hereafter 4-piece set bonus is activated after a character uses an Elemental Burst. Character’s attack increases by 8% for 16 seconds, and when the character loses health, their attack further increases by 10%. A maximum of 66% ATK buff can be theoretically reached.

Echoes of an Offering 4-piece set bonus has a new proc (or trigger) system that states:

“When Normal Attacks hit opponents, there is a 36% chance that it will trigger Valley Rite, which will increase Normal Attack DMG by 70% of ATK. This effect will be dispelled 0.05s after a Normal Attack deals DMG. If a Normal Attack fails to trigger Valley Rite, the odds of it triggering the next time will increase by 20%. This trigger can occur once every 0.2s.”
