What is Equipment?
In addition to leveling up, equipping your heroes with the right gear is a fundamental way to enhance their specific stats in Idle Heroes. Each hero can wear equipment in six different slots:
- Weapons
- Armor
- Shoes
- Accessories
- Artifacts
- Gems/stones (Treasures)
Artifacts within the same tier share identical upgrading costs and engulf values. These artifacts are categorized by rarity, listed here from highest to lowest:
- Orange
- Red
- Green
- Purple
- Yellow
- Blue
The Orange and Red artifacts represent the pinnacle of artifact tiers. Some artifacts are hero-specific, granting unique abilities and stats when equipped to the designated hero. These exclusive artifacts are generally more potent than their standard versions and offer an additional property exclusive to heroes of the corresponding faction, indicated by the faction icon.
For an enhanced gaming experience, consider playing Idle Heroes on a larger screen using your PC or laptop with BlueStacks, along with the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
