What are Artifact Sets in RAID: Shadow Legends?
Artifacts and accessories are the equipment pieces that significantly boost your champions' stats and abilities. Each champion can equip six artifacts and three accessories, each with a unique role:
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

The beauty of RAID: Shadow Legends' artifact system lies in its flexibility. You can mix and match artifact sets. A champion could equip three 2-piece sets, a 4-piece set, and another 2-piece set, benefiting from all the set bonuses. Even with variable sets, you can mix and match odd numbers of pieces and still reap the rewards. Importantly, set bonuses stack cumulatively. Three Life Sets, for example, provide a 45% HP bonus (a threefold increase over a single set's 15%).
Artifact and Accessory Set Bonuses:
Artifact and accessory sets offer a diverse range of bonuses:
- Basic Sets: Provide stat boosts to your champion's base stats.
- Advanced Sets: Offer a wider array of effects, including skill adjustments (like applying debuffs) and behavior alterations (like gaining extra turns).
- Accessory Sets: Provide benefits such as skill modifications (preventing skills from going on cooldown) and behavior adjustments (such as counterattacking when attacked).
