How to use the artifact auto-lock feature in Genshin Impact? Explained

Among all the Quality of Life updates in Genshin Impact 4.3, the introduction of the artifact auto-lock feature might be the most useful.

What is the artifact auto-lock feature in Genshin Impact

Using the new artifact auto-lock feature, you can lock the artifact of your choice automatically by setting some specific perimeters. You can make custom plans and set the requirements of the main affixes of Sands of Eon, Goblet of Eonothem, or Circlet of Logos. You can also make custom plans for the minor affixes of each artifact.

You can set up to two custom plans for each artifact set. According to your given plan, the game will then auto-lock artifact set plans that match your input. Moreover, by enabling the “Automatically Lock 5-Star Artifacts That Meet Requirements” option, you can automatically lock these sets, soon after acquiring them. However, they must meet the plan that you have already set for the artifacts.

A new option will also show you the popular Artifact Sets used with a specific character. This data will be derived from all of the recently active players using that character. You will also have the option to auto-lock these recommended artifacts.
