What is Equipment?

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

All artifacts within a tier share the same upgrade cost and engulf value. Artifacts come in various rarities, ranked from highest to lowest:

  1. Orange

Orange and Red artifacts are the top tier. Some artifacts are hero-specific, granting unique abilities and stats when equipped to their designated hero. These exclusive versions often surpass their standard counterparts in power, adding faction-specific bonuses indicated by a corresponding icon.
