Best Perks for Artifacts in New World
In gear rarity, artifacts stand as the most powerful level to exist as of now. They aren’t that old, as were introduced in the recent New World Rise of the Angry Earth Expansion, redefining combat. This guide will showcase some of the best perks for artifacts in New World till Season 4. Let’s get started with all the details below.
Odo
Initially, Odo doesn’t come with a gem slot, but you can equip one on it, by going to the covenant armory and heading to the lumen segment, equipping the gem setting pins. The best PvP perk for Odo artifact is Burdening Smite Park - Steel Flail Charm.
Deep Freeze
For the Deep Freeze artifact, the best perk to get is frost attunement. To get that further, you require a frozen weapon shard. In the PvE scenario, the best perk to get is the windchill.
Another one you can pick is the empowered ice pike, which is great for PvP scenarios. A notable perk for Deep Freeze is deadly frost (ice snow).
Lifetaker
Lifetaker is an incredibly good artifact in New World season 4, and to enhance its capabilities, you can pair it with Life staff, and the best upgrade includes a putrefying scream.
Michael
The best perk for this artifact in New World is the enchanted ward. Michael goes as a tower shield for tanking and a round shield for damage. You can pair a kite shield with a flail, and the best notable perk for it is burdening smite for PvP.
The reason for going with the enchanted ward is that it reduces the incoming damage, already adding to the skills.
The Butcher
Butcher doesn’t come with a gem slot, so the setting pins are automatically the best upgrade you can go with The Butcher. Then, you can assign the gem of your choice, either a tank or a damage-based gem.
The Finisher
The finisher and the rapier are some of the most commonly used artifacts, and to go with them, the best perk is definitely keenly empowered.
The Gladiator
The Gladiator isn’t that good of an artifact itself, but it doesn’t have the shield aggression perk that round shields need to give extra weapon damage. So, the best artifact perk for The Gladiator is enchanted/enchanted ward, or vicious.
Freya’s Francisca
Freya’s Francisca artifact is mostly used in the PvE scenario, and that being said, the perk for Freya is vicious. With this, the backstab will deal extra damage. The next version of vicious is rogue, and you can go with that as well.
The Wall
The best perk for The Wall is fortifying shield rush. It is exceptionally good with a sword, but if you are playing with a flail, then Enchanted Ward is an option you can go for.
Pestilence
It is another artifact that doesn’t come with a gem slot, and once again, equipping yourself with the slot pins is the best perk you can go for. Some popular gems include; opal and jasper.
Boltcaster
Once again, Boltcaster is an artifact that doesn’t come with a gem slot. The upgrade you can put here is keenly jagged for the PvP scenario. For the PvP scenario, the best option is to penetrate rapidly.
The Abyss
One notable upgrade for The Abyss artifact is enfeebling maelstrom for both PvP and PvE scenarios. If you like to focus more on the PvP, then you can go with the crippling reap. On the contrary, another notable perk is the vicious.
Serenity
Serenity also doesn’t come with a gem slot, and we recommend going with the gem setting pins to enhance the capabilities of your Serenity artifact. After that, the best gem for Serenity is no doubt opal.
The Mechanic
The Mechanic artifact goes well off with a speedy build all around. Going with the winged shoes will maintain that 33 percent movement speed and increase the duration as well. The attunement perk is the best perk for The Mechanic artifact.
The Scorpion’s Sting
Scorpion Sting is a javelin artifact that is exclusively for the PvP scenario. For the Scorpion’s Sting, the upgrade is no doubt the evergreen weapon slot, you can go with the perk upgrade of keenly jagged.
Inferno
In the New World Season 4, the Inferno artifact was changed from the strike damage to fire damage. You can equip the ability of a flamethrower with Inferno to catch up with the 15-minute time.
For the Inferno artifact, the best one is flame attunement, and for PvP, the empowering fireball is a great option all around.
Spark of Mjolnir
The best perk for the Spark of Mjolnir Warhammer is thwarting strikes because of the lightning damage. All the abilities have grit, so it makes sense to go with something that enhances it automatically. Optionally, you can also go with the trencher strikes here. For abilities, thwarting strikes is the best option, and for the heavy strikes, the best option is no doubt, the trencher strikes.
Lost Stopwatch
In the New World Season 4, the Lost Stopwatch artifact is mostly used for the PvE scenario. There are multiple options to go with, but the best out of them all is divine, or you can also go with the refreshing recovery.
For amulets, you require protection like fire protection, nature protection, and so on.
Ankh
In the New World Season 4, Ankh remains one of the best artifacts to obtain and equip, especially in the PvP scenario. The best perk for Ankh is stamina recovery.
Endless Thirst
Not that great of an artifact, but it is still quite useful in a 1v1 scenario. The best perk for the Endless Thirst artifact in the New World includes refreshing, and regenerating.
Void Darkplate
Specifically used for tanking and armor, the best perk for Void Darkplate includes health, thrust conditioning, slash conditioning, and freedom for PvP.
The Unmoved
Boots that stop you from being pushed away from enemy attacks. You can’t put the enchanted ward, so the best would be going with the health perk for The Unmoved artifact in New World.
Magnetic Gauntlets
Void gauntlet and ice gauntlet are some of the best to use with Magnetic Gauntlet artifacts. The perk that goes well with the Magnetic Gauntlet is nullifying oblivion.
Unyielding
One of the best helmets for the PvP scenario, and the best perk for it is the shirking heel, or you can also go with the health heel.
Freedom
Again, one of the best perks to go with Freedom is health. Then again, the refreshing tonic of Tyrus, and shirking heels because of their PvP usage are great to use on Freedom as well.
Featherweight
A versatile chest piece, great for the DPS builds. Same as before, you can put a health perk in a featherweight artifact to enhance its armor capabilities. On top of all of this, you can go with the thrust conditioning perk as well.
Tumblr Feetwraps
This artifact is specifically great for PvP scenarios, and that is why they are great with refreshing or physical evasion perks. The shirking heels are the top pick for the Tumbler Feetwraps artifact.
Grey Wizard’s Hat
Same as before, the Grey Wizard’s Hat is an artifact that goes well with the health perk. It depends on which type of staff you are playing alongside the Grey Wizard’s Hat. For example, the keen beacon is a perk that works incredibly with the fire staff.
Nimble Coat
It is an armor piece, so the health perk is super beneficial to use with this artifact. The enchanted ward and the elemental evasion are two of the best with this artifact.
Conclusion
Perks depend mostly on the artifact and what you pair them with other gear pieces. Like equipping a hat artifact with different staves changes its perk selectability. Here in this guide on the best perks for artifacts in the New World, we shortlisted and explained the usability of perks on specific artifacts.
