With Genshin Impact Version 5.5 introducing two brand-new artifact sets, Finale of the Deep Galleries and Long Night’s Oath, players are wondering: Are these sets worth farming?
According to Zajef77, these sets bring significant changes for characters like Xiao and Skirk, but they also come with some serious drawbacks.
Let’s break down the strengths, weaknesses, and whether you should farm them or stick with existing sets.
🏆 Finale of the Deep Galleries (Cryo Normal Attack & Burst Set)
✔ 2-Piece Bonus: +15% Cryo DMG
✔ 4-Piece Bonus: When the character has zero Energy, Normal ATK DMG increases by 60% and Burst DMG increases by 60%. Using a Normal Attack removes the Burst bonus for 6 seconds, and using a Burst removes the Normal Attack bonus for 6 seconds.
💡 How This Set Works
- This set prioritizes either Normal Attacks or Burst damage depending on how you play.
- Only works when the character has 0 Energy, making it extremely difficult to maintain for most units.
- The effect cancels itself if you perform a Normal Attack after a Burst or vice versa.
❄️ Who Benefits the Most?
| Character | Viability |
|---|---|
| Skirk (Cryo DPS) | Best-in-slot option due to her unique zero Energy mechanic. |
| Ayaka (Cryo Burst DPS) | Possibly good, but if the buff disappears after gaining 1 Energy, it becomes useless. |
| Chongyun (Cryo Infuser) | Works if his kit aligns, but Cryo DPS is not his primary role. |
💡 Takeaway: This set is specifically designed for Skirk and may not work well with any other existing Cryo DPS. Ayaka might benefit, but it depends on how the Energy condition is coded.
🌙 Long Night’s Oath (Plunging Attack Set – Xiao’s New Best-in-Slot)
✔ 2-Piece Bonus: +25% Plunging Attack DMG
✔ 4-Piece Bonus: Using Plunge Attacks, Charged Attacks, or Elemental Skills grants stacks of Everlasting Radiance (up to 5 stacks). Each stack boosts Plunging Attack DMG by 15%.
💡 How This Set Works
- Plunging Attacks get a massive 100% DMG boost if you manage to stack it fully.
- Stacks build up over time with different attack types.
- Doesn’t require an Energy restriction, making it much easier to use than Finale of the Deep Galleries.
🔥 Who Benefits the Most?
| Character | Viability |
|---|---|
| Xiao (Anemo Plunging DPS) | His new best-in-slot—finally a set stronger than Vermillion Hereafter. |
| Varesa (Electro Plunging DPS) | Signature set, designed to boost her kit perfectly. |
| Diluc (Pyro Plunging DPS – C6 Bennett Team) | Viable for Pyro infusion comps, but not widely used. |
| Gaming (Pyro DPS – Plunge-Based Combos) | Possible, but weaker than Crimson Witch or Marechaussee Hunter. |
💡 Takeaway: If you play Xiao or Varesa, you should farm this set. Otherwise, it’s not a major upgrade for most DPS characters.
⚖️ Should You Farm These New Artifact Sets?
✔ Farm Long Night’s Oath if you main Xiao or Varesa.
✔ Farm Finale of the Deep Galleries ONLY if you plan on pulling Skirk.
✔ Stick with existing sets if these characters aren’t your priority.
💡 If you don’t play Xiao or Varesa, these artifacts are likely NOT worth farming unless you’re saving for Skirk.
📌 Final Verdict – Are These Artifact Sets Worth Your Resin?
- Finale of the Deep Galleries – Skip it unless you pull Skirk.
- Long Night’s Oath – Xiao & Varesa mains, rejoice! This is your new best set.
- If you’re happy with your current artifact setups, farming these is not essential.
