When to choose it
Golden Sword: Increases melee damage by 30%.
Choose this 30% damage bonus when melee attacks are a main source of damage in your loadout. It applies to the named damage type without requiring a kill, consume action or boost first.
Pairings and trade-offs
The matching 15% artifact changes the same damage type. Compare it before taking a bonus for an unrelated weapon. A conditional melee support artifact can add a different benefit, but only when its stated trigger occurs.
