Pros and Cons

Every artifact set has its own pros and cons. Farming artifacts may not be easy due to the limited amount of resin that a player gets. Keep in mind that the higher your world level and the difficulty of the domain you challenge, the increased likelihood that you have of securing rarer and more powerful versions of the artifact sets.

Pros

  1. One of the best artifact sets in the game at generating energy for your party.
  2. 3 and 4 star rarity so easy to find early on in your journey
  3. Effect doesn’t have a clear upgrade option among the 5 star sets so can potentially use even later into the game.

Cons

  1. Doesn’t do much for offensive purposes. Purely a utility focused set.
  2. Highest rarity level is 4 star so becomes outclassed once 5 star artifact sets are more available.
  3. Characters with high Elemental Burst energy costs may struggle to get significant value compared to low cost ones.

Lore

Exile's Flower

A withered flower worn on the shirt. Its former owner insisted on wearing it even in exile, so it must mean something.

It all happened before the exiled aristocrat was involved in the family feud.

This flower bloomed before the first blood was shed.

Having witnessed the cruelty of humanity, the exile left his kindness and gentleness in the past.

But this faded flower and the innocent smile he once had will always be his treasure.

Exile's Feather

Not an actual accessory per se. Just a random bird feather that was found somewhere in the wilderness by the exile.

Through plains and forests, the exile traveled alone in the wild.

Through thick layers of dark clouds, an azure feather fell on his shoulder.

The feather came from a panicked bird escaping from the falcon, just like the exile.

The feather represents the spirit of a nestless, free bird, just like the exile.

Exile's Pocket Watch

Even after the crystal watch face was shattered and the hands lost, its former owner kept it until the end.

The aristocrat acquired this pocket watch back in his youth.

This delicate timepiece recorded every moment of his childhood.

But tragedy brought his carefree days to an abrupt end.

The aristocrat was forced into a long and lonesome exile.

Exile's Goblet

A dull goblet made of a heavy metal. It was once inlaid with gemstones, but they have since been stripped off.

This silver goblet is a family heirloom of an exiled aristocrat.

The exterior was once inlaid with a gem engraved with his family crest.

But after the exile had brought shame to his family, he carved out the symbol of which he was once proud.

As a result, this cup is broken and can no longer hold liquid.

But the exile still carries it with him until the end of his journey.

Exile's Circlet

A prestigious circlet. However, the royal insignia has been scratched out, and it is no longer the symbol of distinguished status that it once was.

As a child, the exile lived in a noble house. His childhood was carefree, and his playground was a palace built with silver.

In times of old, the circlet of his father was a symbol of gentility and nobility.

However, years later, a family feud painted the collapsing palace blood-red.

The circlet became the evidence of the exile's crime and has been with the exile ever since.

Trivia

  1. The Exile regens a total of 12 energy for the entire party with its 4-Piece set effect
  2. The 4-Piece effect of The Exile is not affected by Energy Recharge

Conclusion

The Exile artifact is effective in its role as a battery for team compositions in order to fuel their Bursts. As usual, its limited 4 rarity ceiling creates a sizable stats gap between its peers, and is very narrow in its general application.
