Two new artifact sets in Genshin Impact 5.5

Long Night’s Oath

Long Night’s Oath is one of the two new artifacts that will be released in version 5.5. Below are its set bonuses:

• 2-pc bonus: Plunging Attack DMG increased by 25%
• 4-pc bonus: After the equipping character’s Plunging Attack/Charged Attack/Elemental Skill hits an opponent, they will gain 1/2/2 stack(s) of “Radiance Everlasting.” Plunging Attacks, Charged Attacks or Elemental Skills can each trigger this effect once every 1s. Radiance Everlasting: Plunging Attacks deal 15% increased DMG for 6s. Max 5 stacks. Each stack’s duration is counted independently.

Long Night’s Oath is a dedicated set for Plunging Attack DMG. The new set provides a ton of Plunging Attack DMG boost from both its 2-pc and 4-pc bonuses. It will be an amazing option for characters like Xiao, Gaming, Varesa, and even Diluc when paired with Xianyun.

Finale of the Deep Galleries

The other new artifact set in Genshin Impact 5.5 is the Finale of the Deep Galleries. Here are its complete set bonuses:

• 2-pc bonus: Cryo DMG Bonus +15%
• 4-pc bonus: When the equipping Character has 0 Elemental Energy, Normal Attack DMG is increased by 60% and Elemental Burst DMG by 60%. After the equipping character deals Normal Attack DMG, the Elemental Burst effect will stop applying for 6s. After the equipping character deals Elemental Burst DMG, the Normal Attack effect will stop applying for 6s. This effect can trigger even if the equipping character is off the field.

Based on the Finale of the Deep Galleries’ 2-pc bonus, this set is meant for Cryo characters. Meanwhile, the 4-pc set bonus increases the user’s Normal Attack DMG and Elemental Burst DMG. However, they are unusable on any character in the current roster due to the condition for triggering these effects. Therefore, the new set may likely be for an upcoming Cryo character.
