What are Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends?

Artifacts and accessories are equipment pieces that enhance your champions' stats and abilities. Each champion can equip six artifacts and three accessories, with each slot serving a specific purpose:

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.

Artifact Sets can be mixed, allowing champions to equip combinations like three 2-Sets, a 4-Set and a 2-Set, or uneven numbers of Variable Sets while still earning set bonuses. These bonuses stack multiplicatively—for example, a single Life Set grants a 15% HP boost, while three sets increase HP by 45%.

Artifact and Accessory Sets provide different benefits:

Basic Artifact Sets enhance base stats like ATK, DEF, and HP. Advanced Artifact Sets modify skills (e.g., applying debuffs) or change champion behavior (e.g., gaining extra turns). Accessory Sets offer unique effects like preventing skill cooldowns or enabling counterattacks.

RAID: Shadow Legends can also be played on PC or laptop via BlueStacks, allowing for a larger display and keyboard/mouse controls.
