One of the most requested quality-of-life features in Genshin Impact is finally here: artifact loadouts. Thanks to a breakdown by Jello Impact, we now know exactly what this long-awaited feature will look like when version 5.7 drops—and it’s shaping up to be a huge win for players.

What Are Artifact Loadouts?

In simple terms, artifact loadouts allow you to save and switch between preset gear builds for each character. No more tediously swapping artifacts one by one between multiple characters—you can now instantly swap full builds with just a tap.

Here’s how it works:

You can create up to two custom artifact loadouts per character.
When you hit Fast Equip in the artifact menu, you can now configure full sets including main stats, set bonuses, and priority filters.
Once saved, your build is remembered, making switching between sets seamless for different roles (e.g., main DPS vs. support).
You can also preview unequipped artifacts and compare them side-by-side with what you’re currently using—great for optimizing.

This system is, by all accounts, the “true artifact loadout” system players have been asking for since launch.

How It Helps You

Save time during Spiral Abyss runs when switching team comps.
Quickly switch between builds for exploration vs. combat.
Easily test new combinations without losing track of your best sets.

For now, you’re limited to two loadouts per character, but that’s already a massive step forward.

Spiral Abyss: New Retry System and Auto-Claim Stars

Version 5.7 also introduces several Spiral Abyss quality-of-life changes:

After clearing a chamber, you’ll now have the option to retry the same chamber or continue, with your team setup preserved.
After clearing Floor 12, Chamber 3, you’ll automatically receive your Abyssal Star rewards, along with a summary of your performance.
No more accidentally missing your bounty by forgetting to tap “claim.”

This is especially helpful for testers and competitive players aiming for perfect 36-star clears.

UI Enhancements for Talent Demos and Trials

New players and veterans alike will benefit from additional in-game role explanations:

In character trials and talent menus, you’ll now find a “Role Explanation” icon that gives a quick summary of a character’s function (e.g., main DPS, support).
Each talent can now be leveled up continuously with one button press, eliminating the tedious tap-tap-tap flow.
These small changes are huge time-savers and help new players understand builds more easily.

New Resin Mechanics: Claim Triple Rewards with Fragile or Transient Resin

You’ll soon be able to use Fragile or Transient Resin to claim triple domain or leyline rewards in one go. This isn’t quite the same as a generic triple-resin option (regular resin still works as usual), but:

You can choose your resin type before claiming.
The UI shows how much of each resin type you have to avoid accidental use.
Especially handy for players with stockpiled Fragile Resin from events or Battle Pass.

Adventure Handbook & Map Navigation Upgrades

Exploring Teyvat just got easier:

You can now track leylines directly in the Adventure Handbook.
Boss and elite enemy info now includes weaknesses, traits, and location previews.
Navigation is smarter and more intuitive for material farming and daily routes.

New Sticker and Emoji Management for Chat

For the social Genshin players:

Emoji management now lets you hide, sort, and organize your favorite stickers.
Chat rooms can be better personalized—especially useful for those in co-op events or community groups.

Mobile Storage Management and Quest Resource Optimization

A major improvement for mobile players is coming with 5.7:

You’ll be able to choose between basic or full quest downloads, depending on how much space you want to use.
Resources for Archon quests, story quests, and hangouts can now be individually downloaded or removed.
This is excellent for freeing up space while still allowing access to key content.

Some players speculate this system could even lay the groundwork for replaying past story events, though nothing has been confirmed yet.

Skirk’s Splash Art and June 6 Special Program

At the end of the update preview, Jello Impact also highlighted the first official preview of Skirk’s splash art, which looks stunning. More will be revealed during the Special Program on June 6, including full kit previews and perhaps additional quality-of-life updates.

Final Thoughts

This is one of the most impactful QoL patches in Genshin’s history. Between artifact loadouts, Spiral Abyss improvements, mobile storage control, and resin management, version 5.7 is a win for all players.

The dev team is clearly listening, and Genshin is slowly transforming from a meme-worthy gacha grind to one of the most user-friendly live service games out there. Hopefully, features like event replays and daily farming flexibility aren’t far behind.
