Best Artifact for Thoma

As a playable character, the best thing about Thoma is his Elemental Burst ability, Crimson Ooyoroi. When players use Thoma’s ability, they get a Pyro Shield that is great at absorbing damage. 

Thanks to the Fiery Collapse special effect, players can proc Melt, Vaporize, and other elemental reactions to further increase the damage output.

With that said, for Thoma, the best artifact set is Emblem of Severed Fate. You can also use other alternatives like Noblesse Oblige and Crimson Witch of Flames, in case you don’t have good Severed Fate pieces.
