What is Equipment?

Beyond leveling up, equipping your heroes is a crucial way to significantly improve their stats. Each hero has six equipment slots:

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

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

1. Orange
2. Red
3. Green
4. Purple
5. Yellow
6. Blue

Orange and Red artifacts are the top tier. Some artifacts are hero-specific, granting unique abilities and stats when equipped on the intended hero. These exclusive versions are typically more powerful than their standard counterparts and offer an additional property exclusive to heroes of the correct faction (indicated by the relevant faction icon).
