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. Artifact rarity significantly impacts their power. Here's the rarity breakdown from highest to lowest:
- Orange
- Red
- Green
- Purple
- Yellow
- Blue
Orange and Red artifacts are the most powerful. Some artifacts are hero-specific, granting unique abilities and stats when equipped on 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).
