What are Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends?
Artifacts and accessories are the equipment pieces that significantly enhance your champions' stats and abilities. Each champion can equip six artifacts and three accessories, each fulfilling a specific role:
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.
The beauty of RAID: Shadow Legends' artifact system lies in its flexibility. You can mix and match artifact sets. A champion could equip three 2-piece sets, a 4-piece set, and another 2-piece set, benefiting from all the set bonuses. Even with variable sets, you can use odd numbers of pieces and still receive the bonuses. Importantly, set bonuses stack cumulatively. Three Life Sets, for example, grant a 45% HP bonus (a 15% bonus per set).
Artifact and Accessory Sets Offer Diverse Bonuses:
Basic artifact sets provide straightforward stat boosts to your champion's base stats. Advanced sets offer a wider array of effects, including skill modifications (like applying debuffs) or even behavioral changes (such as gaining an extra turn). Accessory sets similarly provide various benefits, such as altering skill cooldowns or enabling counterattacks.
