Celestial Gift Artifact Set in Genshin Impact: Bonuses, Best Characters, and Stats
Celestial Gift is a 5-star farmable artifact set arriving in Genshin Impact's Version 6.6 update. It rewards Energy Recharge investment and turns the wearer into a roaming Elemental DMG buffer, with a stronger payoff when a Hexerei team condition is active. The set is built around supports and sub-DPS units who lean on their Elemental Skill and want team-wide damage uptime without standing on the field.

Quick answer: Equip 2-piece for +20% Energy Recharge, or 4-piece to grant nearby party members a 20% Elemental DMG Bonus matching the wearer's element after each Elemental Skill cast, scaling up to 40% when the team has the Hexerei: Secret Rite effect active.

Celestial Gift set bonuses
The two- and four-piece bonuses work independently, but the four-piece is gated behind a story step called Witch's Homework. Once that requirement is cleared on the equipping character, the buff applies to every Elemental Skill cast, including off-field.
| Pieces | Effect |
|---|---|
| 2-piece | Energy Recharge +20%. |
| 4-piece | After completing Witch's Homework, using an Elemental Skill grants Light's Guidance for 20 seconds. All nearby party members gain a 20% Elemental DMG Bonus matching the wearer's element. Triggers while off-field. Sets of the same name do not stack. |
| 4-piece (Hexerei active) | With Hexerei: Secret Rite active, Light's Guidance upgrades to Mortal Hymn. Nearby party members gain 40% Elemental DMG Bonus matching both the wearer's element and the current active character's element. Matching elements do not double-dip. |
The off-field trigger is the important part. The wearer casts a Skill, swaps out, and the buff keeps running for the full 20 seconds on whoever is on the field. The Hexerei condition is what pushes the bonus from useful to best-in-slot for compatible teams, because 40% Elemental DMG on two elements simultaneously is a heavy multiplier for reaction or mono-element setups.

Best characters for Celestial Gift
The set favors characters who cast their Elemental Skill on cooldown, generate Energy for their Burst, and contribute through buffs rather than personal damage. Hexerei units benefit the most because they can naturally enable the Mortal Hymn upgrade.
| Character | Role | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| Nicole | Hexerei support | Casts her Elemental Skill frequently for buffs and needs Energy Recharge for Burst uptime. She slots into Hexerei teams almost by default, making the 40% upgrade reliable. |
| Albedo | Off-field sub-DPS / support | His Skill creates a persistent field, so triggering and maintaining the buff is automatic while he stays off-field. |
| Fischl | Off-field Electro buffer | Works when the priority shifts from her personal damage to extending Electro DMG to the active DPS. |
| Prune | Elemental buffer | Holds better element-buff uptime than Viridescent Venerer, and the Energy Recharge supports Burst rotations. |
Compared with Viridescent Venerer, Celestial Gift trades the 40% resistance shred for a flat Elemental DMG Bonus that scales off the wearer rather than enemy reactions. That makes it stronger on supports who do not Swirl, and on teams where the active DPS shares an element with the buffer or with the Hexerei partner.

Recommended main stats and substats
Stat priority depends on the wearer's scaling, but the core targets stay consistent across most support builds. Energy Recharge matters because the 2-piece already gives 20%, which pairs naturally with Burst-reliant characters.
| Slot | Main stat |
|---|---|
| Flower (Heavensent Fragrance) | HP (fixed) |
| Feather (Heavensent Demise) | ATK (fixed) |
| Sands (Heavensent Decree) | Energy Recharge, or ATK%/HP%/DEF%/EM depending on scaling |
| Goblet (Heavensent Reward) | Elemental DMG Bonus matching the wearer |
| Circlet (Heavensent Crown) | CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG |
For substats, prioritize Energy Recharge until Burst uptime is comfortable, then push CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG. ATK%, HP%, DEF%, or Elemental Mastery follow depending on which stat the character's kit scales from. Flat ATK, flat HP, and flat DEF rolls are low value at endgame because percentage rolls scale with leveled base stats.
🎯
Tip: Substats only roll or upgrade every four artifact levels, and each roll lands on one of four hidden values. Stop investing resin into a piece if it lacks any CRIT rolls by +8 or +12, unless the main stat is irreplaceable.
How to get Celestial Gift
Celestial Gift drops from a new artifact domain introduced in Version 6.6. The domain shares its rotation with two other sets: Long Night's Oath and Finale of the Deep Galleries. Use Original Resin on the domain's highest available difficulty to maximize 5-star drop rates, and use Artifact Strongboxes for off-pieces once enough duplicates accumulate.
The four-piece effect requires the equipping character to have completed the Witch's Homework objective. Without that completion flag on the specific character holding the set, the 4-piece bonus will not activate, even if the artifacts are equipped correctly.

Piece names and flavor
| Slot | Name |
|---|---|
| Flower of Life | Heavensent Fragrance |
| Plume of Death | Heavensent Demise |
| Sands of Eon | Heavensent Decree |
| Goblet of Eonothem | Heavensent Reward |
| Circlet of Logos | Heavensent Crown |
Celestial Gift slots cleanly into any team where the wearer casts an Elemental Skill on cooldown and spends most of the rotation off-field. For Hexerei lineups, it is the strongest available buff set because the 40% double-element bonus stacks across two different elements at once. For non-Hexerei teams, the base 20% Elemental DMG buff with its long duration and off-field trigger still rivals existing options, while the 2-piece Energy Recharge makes it easy to fit into Burst-heavy rotations.
