What are Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends?
Artifacts and accessories are vital equipment pieces that enhance your champions' stats and abilities. Each champion can be adorned with six artifacts and three accessories, each with specific functions:
Artifacts:
- Weapon: Boosts Attack (ATK).
- Helmet: Increases Health Points (HP).
- Shield: Enhances Defense (DEF).
- Gauntlets: Offers variable primary stats.
- Chestplate: Features variable primary stats.
- Boots: Provides variable primary stats.
Accessories:
- Ring: Grants flat HP, ATK, or DEF.
- Amulet: Offers Resistance or Critical Damage.
- Banner: Provides Accuracy, Resistance, or flat stats.
Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends can be creatively mixed, enabling a single Champion to wear three 2-Sets, a 4-Set and a 2-Set, while still reaping the benefits of the Set Bonuses from each. With Variable Sets, you can even mix in odd numbers of pieces and still receive Set Bonuses. These bonuses are cumulative, meaning that wearing three pieces from the same Set triples the effect. For instance, a single Life Set piece offers a 15% HP boost, but three Life Set pieces amplify this to a 45% HP bonus.
Artifact and Accessory Sets come with a range of bonuses:
- Basic Artifact Sets enhance the wearer's base stats.
- Advanced Artifact Sets provide 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 offer diverse benefits, such as skill modifications (preventing a skill from going on cooldown after use) or behavior changes (enabling counterattacks when attacked).
