Best artifacts to pre-farm for Genshin Impact 5.0 update

Genshin Impact's 5.0 update will go live on August 28, 2024, and introduce the much-awaited Natlan region. Since many players plan to summon Mualani, Kinich, and Kachina, the below section will list the best artifact options for all three Natlan characters.

1) Mualani

Mualani is expected to be a 5-star Hydro DPS who will benefit from Crit and HP stats. She will also utilize the new Nightsoul mechanics to deal a lot of damage to enemies. As such, here are her recommended artifact set:

1) 4-piece Obsidian Codex: Obsidian Codex was leaked as a new artifact set coming in Genshin Impact 5.0. Its effects are tailored to buff DPS characters relying on Nightsoul mechanics.

2) 4-piece Heart of Depth: Heart of Depth is an artifact set in the game specifically catering to Hydro characters. It will increase Mualani's Hydro DMG Bonus and allow her to deal increased Normal and Charged Attack damage after using her Elemental Skill. Players can farm it from the Peak of Vindagnyr domain in Dragonspine.

3) 2-piece Heart of Depth + 2-piece HP%: Players can also equip Mualani with 2-piece of Heart of Depth and 2-piece of either Tenacity of the Millelith or Vourukasha's Glow.

Kinich is expected to be a 5-star Dendro DPS who may be best suited for Burning and Burgeon reaction team compositions. Like Mualani, he uses the Nightsoul mechanics in his gameplay. Let's look at the best artifact sets for him:

1) 4-piece Obsidian Codex: The new Obsidian Codex set will likely be the best artifact set for Kinich in Genshin Impact since it focuses on the Nightsoul mechanics.

2) 4-piece Unfinished Reverie: The Unfinished Reverie set is tailor-made for characters relying on the Burning and Burgeon reactions. Hence, it's an amazing option for Kinich. Fans can farm this set from the Faded Theater domain in Fontaine.

3) 4-piece Deepwood Memories: Deepwood Memories is one of the best artifact sets for Dendro characters and can work for Kinich as well. It will increase his Dendro DMG Bonus and decrease the Dendro RES of his foes. This can be farmed at the Spire of Solitary Enlightenment domain in Sumeru.

Kachina may be a 4-star Geo character debuting in the Natlan update. Leaks have suggested that she may scale off her max DEF, making it a crucial stat. Here are the best artifact choices for her:

1) 4-piece Scroll of the Hero of Cinder City: This is likely to be the best artifact set for Kachina. It allows her to regenerate Energy after using Nightsoul Burst and enables her to buff other teammates considerably.

2) 4-piece Husk of Opulent Dreams: Husk of Opulent Dreams can serve as an alternate set for Kachina while farming for the abovementioned set. It will provide her with a lot of DEF. Players can farm the set at the Slumbering Court domain in Inazuma.
