The best artifact set for this SSR hunter is all pieces of the Burning Greed set. It can buff the critical hit rate and critical hit damage and Break effectiveness of the hunter, synergizing excellently with his kit. Players can also use four pieces of Bruning Greed with the Outstanding Ability set that boosts Goto's DPS capability.
