What are Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends?
Artifacts and accessories are the equipment pieces that significantly boost your champions' stats and abilities. Each champion can equip six artifacts and three accessories, each with a unique function:
Artifacts:
- Weapon: Increases Attack (ATK).
- Helmet: Boosts Health Points (HP).
- Shield: Enhances Defense (DEF).
- Gauntlets: Variable primary stats.
- Chestplate: Variable primary stats.
- Boots: Variable primary stats.
Accessories:
- Ring: Provides flat HP, ATK, or DEF.
- Amulet: Offers Resistance or Critical Damage.
- Banner: Grants Accuracy, Resistance, or flat stats.
The beauty of RAID: Shadow Legends' artifact system lies in its flexibility. You can mix and match artifact sets! A champion might equip three 2-piece sets, a 4-piece set, and another 2-piece set, benefiting from all the set bonuses. Even with variable sets, you can mix and match odd numbers of pieces and still reap the rewards. Importantly, set bonuses stack cumulatively. Three Life Sets, for example, don't just give you 15% HP; they provide a substantial 45% HP bonus.
Artifact and Accessory Set Bonuses:
The bonuses offered by artifact and accessory sets are diverse and powerful:
- Basic Artifact Sets: Provide direct boosts to your champion's base stats.
- Advanced Artifact Sets: Offer a wider array of effects, including skill modifications (like applying debuffs) and even altering champion behavior (such as gaining an extra turn).
- Accessory Sets: Similarly, provide a variety of benefits, such as skill adjustments (preventing cooldown) or behavioral changes (like enabling counterattacks).
