In Dragonheir: Silent Gods, there are artifacts, a lot of them in fact. Each have their own unique bonuses; you can even get them from events or the arena and alliance shops. These artifacts are made to enhance your heroes’ abilities. However, there’s so many to choose from to know which ones should go to whom.
We’ll narrow the list down for you a bit by – well, creating a tier list! You’ll know exactly what to get, who to put it on, and what to level up. You can’t have everything with you so you’re gonna have to make a few tough decisions.
Best Epic Artifact Tier List (Nov, 2023)
Epic Artifacts can be obtained from the Artifact store. To do that, you use a currency you get by collecting duplicate rare heroes. The biggest thing about artifacts is that you’ll have limited resources to level them up. So not every artifact might be worth it if you’re not having them upgraded.
S Tier
Antinaya’s Tiara – Made solely for one hero in the entire game. You get Defense plus Enlightenment, it also makes your shields 15% stronger. That hero? Adolphus.
Eyeball of the Giant – This is a very good DPS artifact. Your ultimate skill gets a damage boost all the way up to 20%. It increases your ATK and ATK% as well, making it a great artifact to put it on someone who has good DPS.
Crown of the Unclean – This is the artifact that does the decreased defense penalty to your enemies for ten seconds. Anyone who has this on needs to have a multi-hit ultimate. That means your multiple hits will hit a few more extra times, increasing your overall damage output. If you’re looking for the one artifact then this is it.
Life Spindle – When you heal an ally using the Life Spindle you get a chance to increase their max HP healed. Mind you that’s a 50% chance of success so every now and then you’ll get a good shot at giving your allies 12% more HP than usual.
Mirror of the Living – Increases your healing capabilities by 30% only if your allies HP is below 40%. You’re better off using the Luminary Order Gospel as it increases all of your healing by 15%.
Platinum Knight Shield – Reduces the AOE damage you soak up by 20%. A useful artifact to have if you’re going to keep on coming back to the Ancient Battlefield. Having said that, focusing all of your resources on it right now doesn’t sound like a good deal.
Scarab Amulet – This gets you a shield whenever your HP drops below 30%. This is based on500% of your defense and can only be triggered every 45 seconds. Only useful for Arena, but you really want to use your resources elsewhere.
Silverstar Horseshoe – The Silverstart Horseshoe gives you ATK plus critical damage. This means you’re going to need crit rate to take full advantage of this artifact. If you don’t get a critical hit then you don’t get that additional damage.
Vile Ink – Up next we have the Vile Ink. This removes your ability to score a critical hit, but you’ll deal 35% more derivative damage. Basic attacks however aren’t derivative, so are your normal attacks. Having your critical removed doesn’t even come close to min-maxing. There’s still some value here however when used during the right conditions.
A Tier
Arcane Music Box – Having someone on your roster that deals a lot of damage at the same time as having their shields up means that the Arcane Music Box is what you’re looking for. A good hero to put this on will be Usha.
She’ll always have her shield up with her battle skill, the more she attacks the bigger the shield gets. There’s a good chance that she’ll always be your last hero standing with this equipped.
Harpy’s Nail – This gives your hero 20% bonus damage to your passive skill. That’s enough to push this to S if it can prove to be better than increasing your ultimate’s damage output.
Manticore Statue – A decent choice for heroes who deal large amounts of damage with their battle skill. Best paired with the Eyeball of the Giant if you want to stack your ATK from its stats.
Spiritual Incense Burner – You might be wondering why this gets an A while the Ancestor’s Candle has to deal with an B. The Ancestor’s Candle is for your battle skill. Battle Skills normally have a shorter cast time while Ultimates are longer. Ultimates are usually stronger, getting your ultimate down to two seconds is definitely a better deal.
Wine of Dragon Blood – Having a bonus to your ATK and ATK SPD is nice but the crit rate won’t be doing much in the course of a five minute fight.
B Tier
Ancestors Candle – Battle Skills are always ten to twelve seconds long. So if you reduce the recharge time by 10% you’ll get one second off your next battle skill. An okay artifact to use when you want to get your battle skill out first. It’s pretty useful for dungeons too if you want to help save your team. That’s a lot of resources just to get that extra one second though.
Arcana Cube – Has a 60% chance off the battle skill to give out 75 enlightenment. For epics it’s 100 or nothing so this gets the boot in B Tier. Also you have the Meditator’s Pipe, which is a rare. That gives you 35 enlightenment all the time.
Effigy of Divine Ears – For every two seconds where you get a kill, you get 10% Ultimate energy. Useful in the Arena and Goblin Cave to get your ultimate back quicker. That can be pretty fun if you have the resources for it.
C Tier
Blood Prince’s Bracelet – This artifact shows a lot of big numbers, and usually that’s a good thing. After a confirmed kill, you heal 600% of your attack. As you get some more levels and gear this artifact becomes more and more useless.
Mask of the Lark – Now this can be handy on a tank. But the only time you’ll really need a tank is when dealing with the Harpy in the Grave of Venom. We have a guide for that if you want to know exactly what we mean. You won’t be needing this anywhere else.
Phoenix Feather – You get an additional 40% ATK for ten seconds when your HP drops below 50%. Not only that, but this will keep on happening every twenty seconds. Not something you really need because you want your hero to steer clear of death almost all the time.
D Tier
Orb of Oblivion – If we keep seeing each other like this I’m going to start believing coincidences are real. This is still the same as the previous elemental artifacts by the way. Invest in something else for the sake of your resources.
Frost Globe – The gods are gonna stop being silent rather shortly if you think any of these six elementals are worth getting.
Flame Globe – Hey it’s nice seeing you around here in D Tier. Are you looking for expensive paperweight as well?
Air Globe – An element specific artifact, a rather useless one at that. Even if fire were the most common element you’ll be dealing with the artifact still doesn’t provide that much value when fully upgraded. You can even get the stat bonuses the Air Globe provides from non-epic artifacts.
Illuya’s Fang – Hey you’re still here! Look we have a guide that talks about the absolute best artifacts in the game. This one right here, isn’t on that list if you’re wondering. For good reason too.
Arinna’s Light – Not much to say about this artifact as it falls into the same category as the Air Globe. They’re both rather dreary and don’t really have any long use in the long term.
Those are all of the epic artifacts in Dragonheir: Silent Gods. What you get and what you work on is now completely up to you and your party.
