Artifacts

Artifacts are a way to make your heroes stronger. They can be bought in the shop or from forges or found in rewards from stages. There are currently 8 kinds of artifacts, each with its own special buff to your heroes. There are also 4 different rarities of artifacts: common, rare, epic, and legendary. Artifacts stats should be carefully reviewed to ensure that you use the ones that are the most appropriate for each hero. Stats shown below are for artifacts at 1 star level.

## Forges

Forges are the most common way to get artifacts. The amount of artifacts/star you can get from the forges is different. Without any blacksmiths, you can get 3 artifacts from a forge, but you can't buy any forges at the forge shop. Once you get the firestone blacksmith, you can starting getting rare forges for free once a day, as well as getting better forges using hammers. With the midland blacksmiths, forges produce 1 more artifacts. Lastly, with the barbarian blacksmith, you might get a free upgrade on your artifact(s) when getting rare forges. The table down below shows the information for forges.
