Genshin Impact New Artifact Set
Two new sets are coming in Version 7.3 per the latest beta leaks - one Cryo CRIT set built for the Tsaritsa, one Energy Recharge support set for Liyue teams. What's confirmed live, and what's still leak-only.
Everything in the 7.3 section comes from test-build leaks (early November 2026), not official announcements. Names are provisional, numbers can change or be cut before release.
Leaked 7.3 sets
Provisionally called "Empress" and "Liyue" - shared November 3, 2026.
| Set | 2-piece | 4-piece |
|---|---|---|
| "Empress" set (widely read as the Tsaritsa set) |
ATK +18% | Using an Elemental Skill, Burst or Normal Attack grants 1 stack (max 2). While at least 1 stack is held: +20% CRIT Rate for Cryo damage - and +20% more when that damage is Stellar Glimmer reaction damage (up to 40% combined). On-field, you lose 1 stack every 3 seconds. |
| "Liyue" set | Energy Recharge +20% | Elemental Skill and Elemental Burst damage +25%. The remaining effects are reportedly still unrevealed. |
The Empress set's stack management is the interesting part: Skill, Burst and Normal hits all feed stacks, but they drain while you're on-field - so it rewards keeping the wearer active and cycling actions, or parking it on a sub-DPS built around Stellar Glimmer reactions. The Liyue set is simpler: an ER support option that buffs the team's Skill/Burst damage.
Same leak batch also named a 4-star event claymore, Blazing Lionfang, expected in 7.3.
Sets already live
For comparison - the newest confirmed sets, released with Version 7.0 and farmable now in the Inverted Glacier domain (Snezhnaya).
| Set | 2-piece | 4-piece |
|---|---|---|
| Heart of the Furnace | ATK +18% | For 12s after triggering a Stellar reaction or dealing its damage: ATK +12%, and Stellar reaction damage for all nearby party members +50%. Works off-field; same-name bonuses don't stack. |
| Scarlet Proof | ATK +18% | For 10s after triggering Stellar Swirl: CRIT Rate +16% and Stellar Swirl damage +40%. |
What to do with this now
Prefarming logic while the numbers are still unofficial.
Don't spend Fragile Resin chasing leaked sets - they can't drop before 7.3 lands. What you can do is bank artifact EXP and Strongbox fodder, keep a stash of ATK% and ER pieces worth upgrading later, and watch the character side: a Cryo set with Stellar Glimmer bonuses points at where the Tsaritsa's kit is heading.

FAQ
What is the new artifact set in Genshin Impact?
Two sets are leaked for 7.3: an "Empress" set giving Cryo CRIT Rate through a stacking mechanic, and a "Liyue" set giving Energy Recharge + Skill/Burst damage. Neither is officially confirmed yet.
When do the new artifact sets come out?
Expected with Version 7.3 - no official release date or even official names yet. The newest farmable sets right now are Heart of the Furnace and Scarlet Proof in the Inverted Glacier domain.
Who is the Empress set for?
Community reading says it's built for the Tsaritsa and Cryo/Stellar-Glimmer-reaction sub-DPS units - the 40% conditional CRIT Rate on reaction damage is the tell. Treat it as informed speculation until 7.3.
Are leaked artifact stats reliable?
Directionally, usually yes - the structure tends to survive. Exact numbers and names get tuned between beta and release, so farm for the concept, not the exact percentages.
