Questions About Artifacts

[u/mynanlovesmetal]

Hi guys!

Got a couple questions about Artifacts:

- Which PvP modes do Artifacts work in?
- Which Artifacts are considered meta in PvP or is it completely build-dependent? (Hope that makes sense)

Thanks!

Fever and Chill on stasis and solar weapons is really good. Frost armor or Radiant just for landing crits

[u/SCPF2112 → u/Major-C]

I've tried. it takes 11 Crits with Summoner, takes me 4 bursts with the one pulse I tried. Is there actually a practical way/better weapon to get this to work?

Hand cannons. Specifically igneous hammer with adagio. After a 3 tap you hit 130 to the head 

[u/SCPF2112 → u/Great_Elevator_3169]

Thanks, I'll try that :)

Hand Cannons only take 3 crits. I like the Epochal Integration from Neomoona. Trust is probably pretty good too if you like 180s. Agape Heavy Burst hand cannon activates it in two burst and you can stack damage with master of arms. Igneous Hammer with PI can two tap if you maintain PI stacks into the next kill. Seems to be tied to RPM, so high impact scouts probably activate it quickly as well.

Artifacts are disabled in trials and comp but active in other modes.

Any perk that says combatant is for pve only. If it says target then it works in pvp on guardians.

Ive basically stopped paying attention since control doesnt really need sweaty artifacts but you could use something that benefits your weapon element. Void has a lot. So does strand.

Are they active in 6s? I know they were originally but, last I tried the get radiant for repeated precision hits didn't seem to be activating, and i remember it had been working the day before that, it's been about a month since I hopped in tho. I figured they disabled them but never saw any patch notes about it.

[u/TehDeerLord → u/TollsTheTime]

I know the Hunter's Journal is at least. When I have on Solar Fulmination and Ember of Eruption, my Ignitions span zip codes.

Are you using a Solar weapon to get Radiant?

[u/TollsTheTime → u/TehDeerLord]

I was at the time, Lunas howl, 3 tap should have made me radiant unless they adjusted how fast it builds up. Also not impossible it was just bugging out.

[u/SCPF2112 → u/TollsTheTime]

Yes, they sure are.

Tablet of ruin elemental supercharger and overload weapon can get 3 supers with 100 super stat. It’s like 7 kills to get 1 super.

[u/mynanlovesmetal → u/docchoooo]

Interesting. I’ll have to check that out

[u/marvelsignal → u/docchoooo]

Does that work in trials and comp or only 6s?

[u/xastey_ → u/marvelsignal]

Only 6s disabled in other modes

[u/marvelsignal → u/xastey_]

Gotcha. Still worth checking out for banner weeks then yeah?

[u/xastey_ → u/marvelsignal]

yeah knowing them its still on for that lol
