Genshin Impact Long Night’s Oath: Location and Best Characters

Long Night’s Oath is a new plunge damage artifact set coming to the game with the Genshin Impact 5.5 update. It is an upgrade for many characters that excel as Plunge DPS units and will continue to support future characters with high Plunge damage. Xiao mains, in particular, must be debating on using this new artifact set, trying to figure out its value in their build. To help you out, we have done the necessary calculations and listed the best Genshin Impact characters for the Long Night’s Oath artifact, along with its effects and location.

Long Night’s Oath Artifact Set Effect and Location

• Name: Long Night’s Oath
• 2-Piece Set: Plunging Attack DMG increased by 25%.
• 4-Piece Set: After the equipping Genshin Impact character’s Plunging attack, Charged attack, or Elemental skill hits an opponent, they gain 1/2/2 stack(s) of Radiance Everlasting. Radiance Everlasting will see Plunge attacks deal 15% increased DMG (max 5 stacks) for 6 seconds. Each stack’s duration is counted independently. All Plunging attacks, Charged attacks, or Elemental skills can each trigger this effect once every 1 second.

Long Night’s Oath Artifact: Best Characters

• Xiao
• Varesa

The Long Night’s Oath is a plunge damage-focused artifact that works well with DPS units that can deal high plunge or charged attack damage. This artifact increases the Plunge damage of the wearer by 100% with max stacks, doubling the Plunge damage dealt by the character.

Although every character (see Genshin Impact tier list) can do a Plunge attack, only a few characters have a focused kit around it. Here are the characters that can best utilize the new Long Night’s Oath artifact set in Genshin Impact:

• The Long Night’s Oath will work best with Xiao in Genshin Impact. This is his new best in-slot artifact set, giving a 5-10% damage boost from his last best artifact option, Vermillion Hereafter. Xiao is considered the main Plunge DPS, so it’s no surprise that this new artifact set will work perfectly with him.
• Varesa is the next best character for the Long Night’s Oath artifact set. Her kit is centered around Plunge damage, making this artifact the perfect pick for her as well.
• Other characters that can be built for plunge damage with this artifact are Diluc and Gaming in Genshin Impact. However, they will have a much more difficult time in getting all of the stacks from the 4-piece set effect, making this set not an ideal pick for their builds.

How to Get Long Night’s Oath in Genshin Impact

Long Night’s Oath is yet to be released in Genshin Impact, so we don’t know the exact steps to reach this artifact domain. This artifact set will arrive with the release of Genshin Impact 5.5 and will be obtainable in the new Atcopan region of Natlan.

After the update drops, we will add a detailed section on how to reach the Derelict Masonry Dock domain and farm the Long Night’s Oath artifact set. Till then, bookmark our post and return after the update drops. Also, check out our Genshin Impact codes list for some extra Primogems before Varesa and Iansan arrive on the next banner.

So, Long Night’s Oath might not be perfect for every character, but it is the new best artifact set for Xiao. Tell us if you are a Xiao or Varesa main and if are planning to farm for it in the comments.
