Artifact Auto-Lock Feature

After the Genshin Impact 4.3 update, players can use the artifact auto-lock function on the artifact inventory page. Use the new function to create custom plan settings to lock artifacts based on your needs. The custom plans can be set to examine the artifact's main and/or minor affixes.

For main affix, you can create a custom plan to lock Sands of Eons, Goblet of Eonothem, and Circlet of Logos based on the following:

• Percentage Stats (HP%, ATK%, etc.)
• Flat Stats (HP, DEF, ATK)
• DMG% Bonus (Physical, Hydro, Pyro, etc.)
• Elemental Mastery

Additionally, you can control the range and number of Minor affixes assigned to each artifact.

The new 4.3 update will also add an option called "Automatically Lock 5-star Artifacts That Meet Requirements". Ensure that this is enabled in settings so new artifact sets will be automatically locked if they match the custom plan requirement set by Genshin Impact players.

You can also use Search Artifacts in Inventory to filter Artifacts in your Inventory based on the auto-lock plan settings and lock Artifacts that meet the custom plan requirements with a single click.

A new Artifact filter function will also be included in the Genshin Impact 4.3 update. You can access it through the Artifact inventory page, where you can choose from several sets of Artifacts and filter them according to their Equipment, Level, and Artifact Lock status.

From the "character option" on the Artifacts page, you can filter multiple sets of Artifacts. On this page, the system will recommend Artifact Sets based on server data gathered from recently active players.
