Understanding Equipment


Besides leveling, equipping heroes is a primary method for boosting their stats. Each hero has six equipment slots:

  • Weapons
  • Armor
  • Shoes
  • Accessories
  • Artifacts
  • Gems/stones (Treasures)

Artifact Tier and Rarity

All artifacts within a tier share the same upgrade cost and engulf value. Artifact rarity impacts their effectiveness:

  • Orange
  • Red
  • Green
  • Purple
  • Yellow
  • Blue

Orange and Red artifacts are the highest tier. Some artifacts are hero-specific, granting unique abilities or stats when equipped. Exclusive versions are generally superior to standard counterparts, offering an additional property exclusive to heroes of a particular faction (indicated by the faction icon).
