Recommended Characters - Breakdown
Recommended For Reaction-Focused Builds
Since the Instructor Artifact is focused on increasing Elemental Mastery, it's very good characters and whole parties that focus on Elemental Reactions.
Good For Swirl-Focused Builds For Anemos
Since the damage of Swirl is based on Elemental Mastery, the possible addition of 200 Elemental Mastery is highly beneficial for a Swirl-focused Anemo characters.
Not Recommended Beyond Early Game
Although the Set Bonuses are good, it's not recommended to be used beyond early game. At higher ARs, it's better to replace this with another 5-Star Artifact to get the most stats.

Sub-Stats Are Random
Unlike main stats, Sub-stats will only be randomly applied & enhanced every 4 levels of artifact upgrades. This means that getting a perfect stats for the artifact may require some grinding.
Some Stats Has Fixed Value Or Percentage Increase
