What are Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends?
Artifacts and accessories in RAID: Shadow Legends are vital pieces of equipment that significantly enhance your champions' stats and abilities. Each champion can equip six artifacts and three accessories, each tailored to fulfill specific roles:
Artifacts:
- Weapon: Increases Attack (ATK).
- Helmet: Boosts Health Points (HP).
- Shield: Enhances Defense (DEF).
- Gauntlets: Offers variable primary stats.
- Chestplate: Provides variable primary stats.
- Boots: Features 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 in the game allow for creative mixing, enabling a single Champion to equip three 2-Sets, a 4-Set, and a 2-Set simultaneously, all while reaping the Set Bonuses from each. If you're using Variable Sets, you can even mix in odd numbers of pieces and still receive Set Bonuses. These bonuses are cumulative, meaning that equipping three of the same Set will amplify the effect threefold. For instance, a single Life Set offers a 15% HP bonus, but with three Life Sets, that bonus jumps to a whopping 45%!
Artifact and Accessory Sets come with a range of bonuses:
- Basic Artifact Sets: These grant straightforward stat boosts to the wearer’s base stats.
- Advanced Artifact Sets: These offer a broader spectrum of effects, including skill adjustments (like the ability to apply debuffs) or even behavior alterations (such as securing an extra turn).
- Accessory Sets: These can provide diverse benefits, from skill changes (such as preventing a skill from going on cooldown after use) to behavior adjustments (like the ability to counterattack when hit).
