What is Equipment?

Beyond leveling up, equipping your heroes is a key 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 or stats when equipped to the intended hero. These exclusive versions usually surpass their standard counterparts in power and offer an additional property exclusive to heroes of a particular faction (indicated by the relevant faction icon).
