What are Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends?
Artifacts and accessories are crucial equipment pieces that enhance your champions’ stats and abilities. Each champion can equip six artifacts and three accessories, each with unique roles:
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 combined, enabling a single Champion to equip three 2-Sets, a 4-Set, and a 2-Set, all while benefiting from the Set Bonuses of each. When using Variable Sets, you can mix odd numbers of pieces and still receive Set Bonuses. These bonuses stack and are cumulative, meaning equipping three of the same Set will amplify its effect threefold. For instance, one Life Set offers a 15% HP bonus, but three Life Sets boost it to 45%.
Artifact and Accessory Sets provide various 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 applying debuffs) or behavior changes (such as gaining an extra turn).
- Accessory Sets: Provide diverse benefits, such as skill modifications (like preventing a skill from going on cooldown) or behavior adjustments (like enabling counterattacks when attacked).
