What is Equipment?

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

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

Artifacts within the same tier share the same upgrade costs and engulf values. They also 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 to the intended hero. These exclusive versions are typically more powerful than their standard counterparts and offer an additional property tied to the hero's faction (indicated by a faction icon).
