What is Equipment?

Beyond leveling up, equipping your heroes is a primary method for enhancing their stats. Each hero has six equipment slots:

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

All artifacts within a tier share the same upgrade cost and engulf value. Artifact rarity significantly impacts their effectiveness, with the following hierarchy (highest to lowest):

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

Orange and Red artifacts represent the highest 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 and provide an additional property tied to the hero's faction (indicated by a faction icon).
