Artifacts become available for use on Team Level 20 through the Airship. Heroes have 3 Artifacts they can upgrade: One Weapon, Book, and Ring. Each rank and level will increase the Artifacts Stats.

  • The Weapon is available at Hero Level 20 and is unique; each Hero has their own unique weapon.
  • The Book is available at Hero Level 25 and is always based on the hero's main role; so Heroes of the same main role share the same Book.
  • The Ring is available at Hero Level 30 and is always based on the hero's main stat; either (Ring of) Agility, Intelligence, or Strength.

The Artifact Book and Ring are passive additions to the Hero's Stats but the Artifact Weapon grants a team-wide bonus if the Hero activates their white skill (aka the Ultimate).

Similar to Heroes each Artifact has an Artifact Evolution Rank and Artifact Level.

Artifact Evolution[]

The Artifact Evolution Rank can be increased with the Artifact Fragments and Chaos Cores. Additionally, the Weapon Artifact activation chance gets increased.

Evolution Rank Fragments Artifact Coins Chaos Cores Activation Chance (Weapon)
1 1 400 0 30%
2 3 1,200 1 60%
3 6 2,400 3 100%

6 150 60,000 75 100%
Total 225 90,000 121 100%

Artifact Fragments[]

Artifact Fragments can be found in Expeditions, and Special Events, or bought from the Artifact Merchant with Artifact Coins.

Chaos Cores Chaos Core[]

Chaos Cores are used to evolve Artifacts, they can be obtained in Valkyrie's Favor Expeditions, Artifact Chests, or Special Events, they also can be bought in the Elemental Tournament Shop.

Artifact Level[]

The Artifact Level can be increased with the appropriate type of Artifact Resources.

On 20 October 2023, the Red levels and Absolute Artifact resources were added to the game, instantly becoming the most expensive "color" with the highest number of levels and total costs while increasing stats by about 60% (from level 100 to the new maximum level 130).
