Artifacts

**Artifacts** are trinkets found in the Peaks of Time (Dura's Artifacts) and Trials of God (Class Artifacts). They can be equipped to heroes to boost their attributes and supply them with powers unique to each artifact.

There are currently two different classifications of artifact: the 7 holy artifacts imbued with Dura's essence that any hero can equip, and the 13 artifacts crafted from each of the elements that are exclusive to Hero Class.

## Upgrading Artifacts

Upgrading an artifact will boost some of its core attributes and increase the amount of heroes that can equip the same artifact at once. Artifacts can be upgraded 5 times to reach to 5 stars total, allowing for a total of 8 heroes to equip the same artifact.

Dura's Artifacts can be upgraded with Dura's Fragments, which can be obtained at the Stargazing Room, AFK Rewards, and by completing various Quests and campaign stages.

Class Specific artifacts can be upgraded by completing their corresponding Trials of God stages set to a difficulty of at least 16. They can be further enhanced by completing their Trails of God stages at a higher difficulty. Players will have to beat the stage at difficulty 40 to fully upgrade the artifact to 3 stars.

#### Peaks of Time Quote

> "*According to Legend, the Peaks of Time were created by Honas, God of Creation, in order to allow him watch over all of his creations in the past, present and future. It was said that when Dura fell to the earth, the last remnants of her being fell onto the high peaks of the mountain and were scattered, breaking up into Seven Divine Artifacts that lay hidden somewhere within its interior. Only when all seven of the artifacts are brought together, will the world have a chance to return to a state of peace.*"

#### Artifact Story

Dura, goddess of life is a generous being, she gave knowledge to the mortals and showered them with compassion. Weakened by Annih and his Hypogean horde, Dura used the last vestiges of her power to create the seven divine artifacts, fearing that the demonic horde may once again resurface from the barred gate. Wielding the divine artifacts, the mortals may have a fighting chance of fending off the demons once more.

Dura's last words to the mortals:

Mortals of power will never cower,

With the divine light, champions shall always fight.

Those that not surrender, let no man put asunder.

Evil shall never decree, it may only flee.

## Class Artifacts

### Lore

In ancient times, the great evil known as the Hypogeans were forever seeking ways to deal a final blow to mortal men. In order to aid the mortals, Dura instructed the five great elemental guardians to forge five divine artifacts.

Guardian Aaldir used the power of mountains to forge his artifact. Whoever wields it shall become as mighty as the mountains.

Guardian Udea used the power of the waves to forge her artifact. Whoever wields it shall see the world in crystal clarity.

Guardian Zateus used the power of fire to smelt his artifact. Whoever wields it shall fight with a burning fire in their heart.

Guardian Elo used the power of nature to weave his weapon. Whoever wields it shall be as light as a leaf.

Guardian Winas used the power of wind to chisel her weapon. Whoever wields it shall be as wild as the wind.

With the artifacts in their hands, the mortals would possess the power of the gods. Hidden throughout Esperia, the artifacts are waiting to be wielded once again, ready for the next great war.
