Here are the leaked 2-pc and 4-pc set bonuses for both artifacts, as per leaked information:

Jincheng Hero Scroll

• 2-pc set effect: When a nearby character in the team triggers "Night Soul Advancing," the wearer restores 6 elemental energy.
• 4-pc set effect: When the wearer triggers a related reaction of their corresponding element type, nearby characters in the team with the same element type as the reaction have their elemental damage bonus and physical damage bonus increased by 15% for 10 seconds. If this effect is triggered while the wearer is under the Night Soul enhancement, these characters' elemental damage bonus and physical damage bonus are increased by 30% for 20 seconds. This effect can be triggered even when the wearer is off-field. The damage bonus effects of the same artifact set cannot stack.

Obsidian Codex

• 2-pc set effect: When the wearer is under the Night Soul enhancement and on the field, damage dealt is increased by 20%.
• 4-pc set effect: When the wearer consumes 10 points of Night Soul value while on the field, their crit rate is increased by 40% for six seconds
