The 8th Anniversary hands out a Limited 5★ Artifact Selector, and unlike a summon ticket, this one is a permanent decision. The pool covers limited artifacts released up to Ranoc’s banner, collaboration artifacts excluded, which means a mix of genuinely strong utility pieces and a long tail of signature artifacts that only matter if you own one specific hero.
Quick answer: Reach 4,700 accumulated points in Festival of Shining Moments, claim the Artifact Ticket, and take Sweet Miracle (Laia’s artifact) unless you already own it — it is the only pick that improves a hero you are almost certainly already using.
How to unlock the Limited 5★ Artifact Selector
The selector sits on the Festival of Shining Moments milestone track at 4,700 accumulated points. Points come in daily against a cap of 800, so this is a login-and-clear-dailies reward rather than something you can rush in a weekend. The anniversary campaign runs from August 27 through October 29, 2026, which leaves plenty of room, but missing days is the only real way to fall short.
Before you spend it, open the Milestone of Radiance track. It gives out Ranoc, Young Senya, Afternoon Soiree Flan, Amid, and Landy along with their signature artifacts for free. Two of those overlap directly with high-ranking picks below, and burning a limited selector on something the game is already handing you is the most common way players waste this reward.
Limited artifact selector tier list
| Tier | Artifacts | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| S | Sweet Miracle | Universal on bruiser Warriors; the default pick |
| A | Discreet Hands, Proof of Friendship, Prayer of Solitude | Strong, but check what you already own first |
| B | Guiding Light, Fan of Light and Dark, Sole Consolation | Good on paper, held back by current counters |
| C | Fairy Tale for a Nightmare, Draco Plate, Unfading Memories | Only if the exact hero is a core part of your roster |
| Niche | Star of the Deep Sea, Spotted Mouse Hair Tie, Dreamlike Holiday, Reingar’s Special Drink, Seductive Flower | Team-specific; several need limit breaks to function |
| D | Everything else in the pool | Skip |
Placements here weigh three things: how many heroes in a normal roster can actually equip and benefit from the artifact, whether it holds up against the way teams are built right now, and how much investment it needs before the effect is reliable. A ranking that reflects the anniversary period pool, artifacts up to Ranoc’s banner, no collaboration pieces.
Why Sweet Miracle is the only S-tier pick
Sweet Miracle, Laia’s artifact, does two things that never stop being useful. It adds health, which matters because so many modern bruisers scale damage or survivability off max HP, and it cuts debuff duration, which quietly defuses the control effects those heroes are most vulnerable to. Neither effect asks you to build around it.
That combination is why it clears the rest of the pool. Most limited artifacts are written for one hero and one playstyle. Sweet Miracle slots onto whichever bruiser Warrior you happen to be running, and it stays relevant when you swap that Warrior out. If you take nothing else from this selector, take this.
A-tier picks: Discreet Hands, Proof of Friendship, and Prayer of Solitude
Discreet Hands is Ranoc’s artifact, and it is a strong piece — but Ranoc and his artifact both appear on the Milestone of Radiance track. Confirm you have not already been given it before you spend a limited selector here.
Proof of Friendship is the safest A-tier choice if Sweet Miracle is already sitting in your inventory. It does not carry a single team the way an S-tier artifact does, but it earns its slot without special conditions.
Prayer of Solitude is the Warrior option worth thinking about. Its ceiling is higher than the standard Warrior artifacts most players default to, Golden Rose included, but only on heroes whose kit lines up with what it rewards. On anything else, Golden Rose remains the more forgiving choice.
B-tier: Guiding Light, Fan of Light and Dark, and Sole Consolation
Guiding Light is the biggest mover on this list. It spent years as a first-pick artifact, and the reason it now sits in B-tier has nothing to do with a nerf. Buff-stripping is simply everywhere, and an artifact whose value is stored in buffs loses that value the moment someone dispels them.
Fan of Light and Dark belongs to Amid, which puts it in the same category as Discreet Hands: Amid and her artifact are part of the free Milestone of Radiance distribution. Sole Consolation, Ocean Breeze Luluca’s artifact, is fine if you own and play her, and does nothing if you don’t.
Niche picks that need limit breaks to work
Star of the Deep Sea, Seaside Iseria’s artifact, is the standout in this group. In a bomb team it is genuinely strong. Outside one, it is dead weight, and it needs maximum limit breaks before the effect fires consistently enough to build a team around.
Spotted Mouse Hair Tie carries the same caveat. The payoff is real, the requirement is a fully limit-broken copy, and a selector only hands you one. Dreamlike Holiday, Reingar’s Special Drink, and Seductive Flower round out the niche bucket — all defensible in the right composition, none worth a limited selector unless that composition is already assembled on your account.
C-tier and skips
Fairy Tale for a Nightmare, Draco Plate, and Unfading Memories are hero-locked in practice. They are not broken, they just require you to already run the hero they were designed for, and even then the improvement is modest. Everything remaining in the pool is a skip — those artifacts will show up eventually through normal summoning, and none of them justify a limited pick.
Confirming the pick went through
After you use the Artifact Ticket, the chosen artifact appears in your Inventory under the artifact list at 5★. Open it and check that the details panel shows its skill text and an available Limit Break button — that confirms the artifact is on your account rather than still sitting as an unopened chest.
Note: the exact hero and artifact lists attached to anniversary selectors are worth verifying in-game when the milestone unlocks. Selector pools are defined by cutoff banner, not by release date, and the in-game list is the only version that counts.
For most accounts this ends up being a short decision. Take Sweet Miracle, cross-check the Milestone of Radiance freebies so you don’t pay for something already granted, and treat the niche bucket as a reward for players who have a specific team waiting for it.
