Where these rankings come fromThe weapon order, artifact sets and stat priorities on this tab are prydwen.gg’s, measured in play and rephrased. Relative damage figures are ratios against the bottom of each ranking, not absolute numbers, and each one holds only for the refinement and team its row states. Everything else — base stats, passive text, material totals — is read from the game’s own data.
