What is Equipment?

Beyond leveling up, equipping your heroes is one of the most effective ways to boost their stats. Each hero has six equipment slots:

  • Weapons
  • Armor
  • Shoes
  • Accessories
  • Artifacts
  • Gems/Stones (Treasures)

Idle Heroes Gear Guide

All artifacts within a tier share the same upgrade cost and engulf value. Artifacts come in various rarities, ranked from highest to lowest:

  1. Orange
  2. Red
  3. Green
  4. Purple
  5. Yellow
  6. Blue

Orange and Red artifacts are the top tier. Some artifacts are hero-specific, granting unique abilities and stats when equipped to the designated hero. These exclusive versions often surpass their standard counterparts in power and provide an additional property exclusive to heroes of a specific faction (indicated by a faction icon).
