What Are Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends?
Artifacts and accessories are equipment pieces designed to enhance your champions' stats and abilities. Each champion can carry six artifacts and three accessories, each fulfilling a unique role:
Artifacts:
- Weapon: Boosts Attack (ATK).
- Helmet: Increases Health Points (HP).
- Shield: Enhances Defense (DEF).
- Gauntlets: Provides variable primary stats.
- Chestplate: Offers variable primary stats.
- Boots: Supplies variable primary stats.
Accessories:
- Ring: Grants flat HP, ATK, or DEF.
- Amulet: Provides Resistance or Critical Damage.
- Banner: Offers Accuracy, Resistance, or flat stats.
Artifact sets can be combined in creative ways. For instance, a champion can wear three 2-sets, one 4-set, and another 2-set, enjoying the benefits of multiple set bonuses simultaneously. Alternatively, odd-numbered combinations of artifact sets can still trigger set bonuses. These bonuses stack cumulatively—for example, wearing three Life Sets increases HP by 45%, compared to 15% for a single set.
Types of Artifact and Accessory Sets
Basic Artifact Sets
These sets primarily enhance a champion's base stats, making them stronger overall.
Advanced Artifact Sets
These sets introduce advanced effects, such as skill adjustments (e.g., applying debuffs) or behavioral changes (e.g., gaining an extra turn).
Accessory Sets
Accessory sets provide diverse benefits, including skill modifications (e.g., preventing skills from entering cooldown) or behavioral adjustments (e.g., counterattacking when attacked).
For an enhanced gaming experience, consider playing RAID: Shadow Legends on a larger screen using tools like BlueStacks, paired with a keyboard and mouse. This setup ensures smoother gameplay and greater precision.
