Sephiria Builds and Combos
Sephiria builds are Combos. All 20, every threshold, and how many documented Artifacts carry each tag — so you can see what is worth committing to.

GamePrimer EditorialUpdated Verified
A Sephiria build is a Combo: carry enough Artifacts sharing one tag and it turns on, then gets stronger at fixed counts. There are 20 Combos, most stepping at 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10. Committing to one is what turns a pile of Artifacts into a run.
Why this page is not a list of named builds
Search for Sephiria builds and you get recipes — “Planet Summoner”, “Bolt Speed”, “Blood Sucker Samurai”. Those are real runs by real players, and they are also snapshots: a specific set of Artifacts one person happened to be offered, on a patch that has since moved nine times.
Underneath every one of them is a Combo. Learning the Combos is portable in a way that copying somebody’s inventory is not, because the game never offers you their Artifacts — it offers you yours, and asks which tag you are going to commit to.
So this page gives you the engine rather than a recipe.
The 20 Combos
Each card shows every threshold and what it pays out, plus how many documented Artifacts carry that tag. That second number tells you how deep the pool is — how much choice you have while chasing a threshold, and how much the run has to cooperate.

Reading the counts honestly
A count here is how many documented Artifacts carry the tag, not a census of the game. The Artifacts database currently records 259 against TEAM HORAY’s “about 300”.
Two reasons not to read a count as a ceiling:
[Unique]is the interesting flag, and most Artifacts do not have it. It means the game will not offer that Artifact twice in one run — so anything without it can turn up again, and a second copy counts towards the Combo just like the first. A tag with nine distinct carriers can still reach ten.- The record is incomplete and says so. Missing entries carry tags too.
So a top step asking for more than the count is not proof of anything. What the counts are reliable for is comparison: Sturdy has more than two and a half times the carriers of Planet, and that ratio survives the missing entries being spread around. Deep pools give you runs where the Combo shows up on its own; shallow ones need you to go looking.
Three things that decide a run more than the Combo does
- Thresholds are steps, not slopes. Nine Artifacts of a tag that steps at 10 is worth exactly the same as eight. The last one is the whole point.
- Where you put them is still the build. Combos count what you carry; Tablets change the level of what they cover. A maxed Combo of under-levelled Artifacts loses to a smaller one placed well.
- Skipping is a move. Taking an Artifact off-tag because it was free is the most common way a run drifts into having no build at all. Dice Transformation, in the Destiny Inscription, literally pays you for skipping.
