Artifact Loadouts are Finally Coming to Genshin Impact
Quick Loadouts

The main affix ensures that only Artifacts with the desired affix are selected for a character. Additionally, players can choose between one or two Artifact sets, allowing for random loadouts based on the chosen sets. Players can focus on up to three minor affixes, adding further customization.
Quality-of-Life Changes

It also includes a borderless display option and a dynamic character resolution feature in the game's settings. And also the ability to start another character trial after finishing the current one. These aim to improve the experience and provide players with more options in their gameplay.
