In PvE, You can equip any Primary weapon, though we recommended DEL3 Lassi because of its bonus damage against Fallen and Cabal. For the Heavy slot, Borealis is the go-to choice since you can counter any Elemental Shield with it, but Izanagi’s Burden is also a strong alternative if your team has reliable shield-breaking options.

PvP Artifacts

Slot 1

Slot 2

Slot 3

Slot 4

Best Artifact

Inverted Guard

This serves as a reliable emergency lifeline to keep your Supports alive. Can provide some extra survivability and it will work well on most characters in the game. It’ll become less valuable in coordinated teams that can already sustain each other.

Alternate Options

Talisman of Revival

A little bit of Extra HP regeneration is helpful for you if the target keeps taking damage after being fully healed. This will Provide enough healing to let you shift focus to other allies temporarily. This can be countered by characters with healing prevention effects.

Best Artifact

Pranayama

This is great for Supports who prefers redirecting healing to allies. This requires a reliable way to generate shields on demand for it to be effective. Loses value if you can stay safe and doesn’t take damage that much.

Alternate Options

Talisman of Luxuriance

The Overshield this provides will be an additional layer of protection. Even if healing you’re receiving is interrupted, your Overshield remains active. We think it’s best to save heals for emergencies since the Overshield only lasts 6 seconds.

Best Artifact

Inverted Fury

This requires some shield generation options for it to consistently maintain the buff. The Frequent shield uptime lets your Supports focus their healing on other allies. Proves more effective in PvE, where staying safe and keeping shields up is easier.

Alternate Options

Talisman of Unity

Remember that this Overhealing is converted into a damage buff instead of being wasted. Also, healing allies with shields remains valuable and doesn’t go unused. That said, this demands careful decision-making between restoring low-HP allies and boosting team damage.

Best Artifact

Inverted Vengeance

This provides a strong offensive boost that complements your defense-oriented builds. This will work best when paired with multiple shield-generation methods. You need to have at least a 100–130% current-to-initial shield ratio to fully maximize the buff.

Alternate Options

Talisman of Inspiration

This is less effective if your character lacks self-healing options beyond abilities. Its buff only works with regenerative heal-over-time effects. Your healing is usually better spent on priority allies instead of boosting personal damage.

As a Support, You will be often focused down first to prevent you from healing and buffing your team. To counter this, We recommend equipping some defensive-oriented sets that will keep you alive longer, allowing you to consistently aid your allies.
