Now, you might be wondering where do we find these Artifacts. Well, there are many places around Raid Shadow Legends where you can look for these artifacts. It includes completing stages in the Campaign, taking part in certain Dungeons, opening Arena and Clan Boss chests, participating in events, and crafting at the Forge.

There will be plenty for you to choose from and you might even stumble upon the one you are looking for. And since there already are a ton of Dungeons, finding one shouldn’t be a problem, even for a beginner.

Rarity and Rank

Artifacts can be quite complex depending on their Rank and Rarity. The rarity of an artifact can range from anywhere between 1 to 16. With 1 being the easiest to find and 16, the hardest. As the rarities increase, your chance of finding an artifact goes down. Now, depending on the rarity of the artifact, it can have different starting subsets. Here is a list of different rarities and subsets you get each of them.

Besides the rarity of the artifact, there are also “Ranks” or “Stars” that you have to look for. Artifacts can have a rank from 1 to 6 - the higher the rank, the better stats an artifact will have to offer. Keeping all that in mind, it’s hard to find the perfect artifact for your build. You will have to get just the right rarity, number of stars, desired stats and even boosts on the substats to get exactly what you need, which rarily ever happens.

How to Pick the Right Artifact

Now, the most important question here is, “How do we pick the right artifact?”. It’s a bit trickier than many of us anticipate because there are more than 40 unique sets of artifacts for players to choose from. But here are a few tips to keep in mind when choosing an artifact set for your characters:

• Each Artifact set complements a specific build, some are better suited for offense while others are better at defense. So, you need to pick one that complements your playstyle.

• To get the most out of your artifacts, you need to have more of them from the same set. Artifacts from the same set will grant you additional abilities and strength.

• As a beginner, the best Artifact sets that you can pick are Shield, Accuracy, Speed, and Lifesteal.

• Lastly, depending on the build you are going for, your Artifact needs to have boosts that complement your build to be most effective.

Getting the right Artifact for your build is crucial for making faster progress in the game but it’s also quite tedious and takes time to get things right.
