RAID Artifact Set Tier List for Beginners and Mid-Game Players

RAID has dozens of artifact sets, but a handful of them do most of the heavy lifting for new and mid-game accounts. This tier list ranks sets by how much they help typical teams – not by how good they are on one perfect champion.

Tier lists are opinions. Set balance changes rarely, but always check the in-game description for exact values.

How to read this list

• 2-piece sets can be mixed: Speed + Perception, Speed + Immortal, etc.
• 4-piece sets take most of the slots, leaving room for one 2-piece set.
• A champion with Speed or Perception in the build almost always beats one without.

Example builds

Champion type	Example build
Campaign farmer	Lifesteal + Speed
Clan Boss damage dealer	Lifesteal + Speed, or Savage/Cruel combos
Debuffer	Perception + Speed, or Accuracy + Speed
Support / healer	Speed + Immortal, or Speed + Life
Tank	Stalwart + Immortal or Defense

Why Speed is always S tier

Every team in every mode benefits from acting earlier and more often. That’s why Speed sits at the top – see our speed and turn meter guide.

Upgrading sets

Even the best set is weak if the main stats and substats are wrong. Pair this list with our gear main stats guide and our earlier gear sets explainer.

Start with Speed, Lifesteal and an Accuracy-type set for your debuffer. Those three alone cover most of what a growing account needs.
