What is Equipment?
Beyond leveling up, equipping your heroes is crucial for boosting 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 by the intended hero. These exclusive versions often surpass their standard counterparts in power and offer an additional property tied to a specific faction (indicated by the relevant faction icon).
