  • Gauntlets: Variable primary stats.
  • Chestplate: Variable primary stats.
  • Boots: Variable primary stats.

The beauty of RAID: Shadow Legends' artifact system lies in its flexibility. You can mix and match artifact sets! A champion can equip three 2-piece sets, a 4-piece set, and another 2-piece set, all while benefiting from each set bonus. Even with variable sets, you can utilize odd numbers of pieces and still receive the set bonuses. These bonuses stack cumulatively; three of the same set provide a threefold increase in effect. For example, one Life Set grants a 15% HP bonus, while three provide a 45% bonus.

Artifact and Accessory Sets Offer Diverse Bonuses:

Basic Artifact Sets provide stat boosts to your champion's base stats. Advanced Artifact Sets offer a wider range of effects, including skill adjustments (like applying debuffs) or even behavioral changes (such as gaining an extra turn). Accessory Sets also provide various benefits, such as skill modifications (preventing a skill from going on cooldown) or behavioral adjustments (like enabling counterattacks).
