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 specific 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.

Strategic Set Combinations:
Artifact Sets are highly flexible. A champion can equip a mix of sets—for example, three 2-piece sets, a 4-piece set, and another 2-piece set—and still benefit from all set bonuses. This flexibility extends to variable sets, allowing for odd numbers of pieces while retaining bonus effects. Importantly, set bonuses stack cumulatively; three identical sets triple the bonus effect. For instance, one Life Set grants a 15% HP bonus, while three provide a 45% bonus.
Set Bonus Variety:
- Basic Artifact Sets: Provide stat boosts to base stats.
- Advanced Artifact Sets: Offer a wider array of effects, including skill modifications (like enhanced debuff application) and behavior changes (such as gaining extra turns).
- Accessory Sets: Provide benefits such as skill alterations (preventing skill cooldowns) or behavioral adjustments (like counterattack capabilities).
