What is Equipment?

Beyond leveling up, equipping gear is one of the most effective ways to enhance specific hero stats. Each hero in the game has six distinct equipment slots:

1. Weapons
2. Armor
3. Shoes
4. Accessories
5. Artifacts
6. Gems/Stones (Treasures)

All artifacts within a given tier share the same upgrading costs and engulf values. As mentioned earlier, artifacts come in varying rarities, listed below from highest to lowest:

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

Orange and Red artifacts represent the highest tier of artifacts. Certain artifacts are exclusively linked to specific heroes, providing special abilities or stats when equipped by that hero. Exclusive versions of an artifact tier are generally more powerful than their standard counterparts and offer an additional property exclusive to heroes of the correct faction. These features are marked with the relevant faction icon.
