Hero Wars Artifacts Guide: Weapon, Book and Ring Explained

Artifacts are a major mid-game upgrade in Hero Wars. Each hero has three artifact slots that add stats and effects, and upgrading them is one of the most reliable ways to push your core team further.

The three artifacts

Artifact	What it adds
Weapon	A bonus effect tied to the hero’s abilities, often benefiting allies
Book	A pair of stats that suit the hero
Ring	A boost to the hero’s main attribute

The exact bonuses differ per hero, so always check the artifact screen for what each one gives.

Upgrading artifacts

Artifacts can be both levelled up and evolved to higher grades:

• Levelling increases the bonus gradually.
• Evolving gives larger jumps and raises the upgrade cap.

Materials come from a range of modes, events and shops. Because they’re limited, plan your upgrades.

Which artifact first?

Hero type	Artifact priority
Main damage dealer	Ring, then Weapon, then Book
Support / healer	Weapon (team effects), then Ring, then Book
Tank	Ring and Book for survival stats, then Weapon

These are guidelines – if a Weapon effect is particularly strong for a hero, it can be worth prioritising.

Who gets artifacts first

1. Your tank – survival keeps fights going.
2. Your main damage dealer.
3. Supports whose Weapon artifacts buff the whole team.

Upgrading artifacts on heroes you rarely use is one of the easiest ways to waste materials.

Where artifacts fit in your plan

Artifacts are most effective once heroes have solid levels, color and skills. Pair them with skins and glyphs for steady stat growth, and check the upgrade priority tier list for the overall order.

Common mistakes

• Spreading materials across many heroes.
• Ignoring Weapon effects that benefit the whole team.
• Evolving too early before levelling makes sense.

Artifacts reward focus. Pick your core heroes, plan which artifact matters most for each, and your team will hit noticeably harder.
