What are Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends?

Artifacts and accessories are pivotal equipment pieces 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 mixed, enabling a single Champion to equip combinations like three 2-Sets, a 4-Set, and a 2-Set, all while reaping the benefits of the Set Bonuses from each. With Variable Sets, you can even mix odd numbers of pieces and still receive Set Bonuses. These bonuses stack and are cumulative; for instance, wearing three of the same Set, such as the Life Set, will amplify the effect threefold—from a 15% HP bonus to a 45% HP bonus.

Artifact and Accessory Sets provide a range of bonuses:

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