Understanding Equipment


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

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

Artifacts within a tier share upgrading costs and engulf values. Artifact rarity impacts effectiveness, ranked (highest to lowest):

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

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