What are Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends?

Artifacts and accessories are vital pieces of equipment that enhance your champions' stats and abilities. Each champion can equip six artifacts and three accessories, each with specific functions:

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.

Artifact Sets can be creatively combined, allowing a champion to wear three 2-Sets, a 4-Set, and a 2-Set while reaping the benefits from the Set Bonuses of each. With Variable Sets, you can mix an odd number of pieces and still enjoy Set Bonuses. These bonuses stack and are cumulative; for instance, wearing three pieces of the Life Set, which individually provides a 15% HP bonus, results in a significant 45% HP boost.

Artifact and Accessory Sets offer a variety of bonuses:

• Basic Artifact Sets grant stat boosts to the wearer’s base stats.
• Advanced Artifact Sets provide a broad range of effects, such as skill adjustments (e.g., the ability to apply debuffs) or behavior alterations (e.g., gaining an extra turn).
• Accessory Sets can offer diverse benefits, including skill changes (e.g., preventing a skill from going on cooldown after use) or behavior adjustments (e.g., the ability to counterattack when attacked).
