Antiquary Artifacts have a few general effects:
Your Elite Skill, , is extremely strong on this build during extended fights, and can grant you a wealth of resources. When cast, it will create a 360 Radius area where you can receive a new selection of Artifacts every 3 seconds, so long as you are standing inside it. You can pick one of these Artifacts every time they cycle, allowing you to adapt to combat on the fly.
Antiquary’s specialization skills are Double-Edge skills. These utility skills can be cast again, even while on Cooldown, but doing so will risk a chance (proportional to the skill’s remaining Cooldown) of a Backfire effect happening. The Backfire effect depends on your chosen utility skill.
Loading yourself up with offensive Boons and buffs from Artifacts is simple to do right before engaging combat, so we recommend doing so whenever possible. Remember that partially refunds the Cooldown of your utility skills, so using them before you is wise. Your will also give you plenty of Quickness access whenever you disable a foe.

雾灼迫击炮 deals good damage to multiple enemies and can be cast from range.Artifacts can be kept available indefinitely until you cast them, even while out of combat. You can combine this with casting a
斯克鼠横扫 during downtime to keep your preferred Artifact in your back pocket.
Spear skills
