Anime Guardians - Complete Artifacts Guide

Artifacts are powerful equipment items that significantly boost your units' effectiveness. This comprehensive guide covers everything from basic artifact mechanics to advanced optimization strategies.

What Are Artifacts?

Artifacts are equippable items that provide:

• Main Stats: Primary stat boost
• Sub Stats: Secondary bonuses
• Set Bonuses: Effects when wearing matching pieces

Every unit can equip multiple artifacts, and proper artifact optimization can double or even triple a unit's effectiveness.

Artifact Basics

Artifact Slots

Each unit has artifact slots:

Slot	Primary Stat Focus
Weapon	ATK%, Crit Rate
Armor	DEF%, HP%
Accessory	Speed%, Special

Main Stats

Artifacts have one main stat that scales with level:

Stat Type	Max Value (Mythic)
ATK%	+75-100%
HP%	+75-100%
DEF%	+75-100%
Speed%	+40-50%
Crit Rate%	+30-40%

Sub Stats

Up to 4 sub stats provide additional bonuses:

• Flat ATK
• Flat HP
• Flat DEF
• Speed
• Crit Rate
• Crit Damage
• Effect Resist

Artifact Rarity

Rarity determines stat ranges and set bonus strength:

Rarity	Main Stat	Sub Stats	Set Bonus
Common	+5-10%	1	None
Uncommon	+10-20%	1-2	Minor
Rare	+20-35%	2-3	Moderate
Epic	+35-50%	3	Strong
Legendary	+50-75%	3-4	Powerful
Mythic	+75-100%	4	Ultimate

Pro Tip: Don't invest in anything below Epic quality.

Artifact Sets

Wearing multiple pieces from the same set activates bonuses.

2-Piece Set Bonuses

Set	2pc Bonus

Optimal Builds by Unit

Gojo Satoru Build

Slot	Set	Main Stat	Target Subs
Weapon	Destroyer	ATK%	Crit Rate, Crit DMG
Armor	Destroyer	HP%	Speed, DEF%
Acc 1	Destroyer	ATK%	Crit Rate, ATK Flat
Acc 2	Destroyer	Crit Rate	ATK%, Crit DMG

Total Bonuses: +30% ATK, +10% Crit from set, ~200% ATK from artifacts

Sukuna Build

Slot	Set	Main Stat	Target Subs
Weapon	Assassin	ATK%	Crit Rate, Crit DMG
Armor	Assassin	ATK%	Speed, Crit DMG
Acc 1	Assassin	Crit Rate	ATK%, Crit DMG
Acc 2	Assassin	Crit DMG	ATK%, Crit Rate

Why Assassin: Sukuna benefits most from critical builds due to burst nature.

Tanjiro Build

Slot	Set	Main Stat	Target Subs
Weapon	Destroyer	ATK%	Speed, Crit
Armor	Destroyer	HP%	Speed, DEF
Acc 1	Swift	Speed	ATK%, Crit
Acc 2	Swift	ATK%	Speed, Crit

Enhancement System

Leveling Artifacts

Artifacts gain stats through enhancement:

Level	Stat Increase	Fodder Required
1-4	+5% per level	Low
5-8	+7% per level	Medium
9-12	+10% per level	High
13-16	+12% per level	Very High
17-20	+15% per level	Extreme

Max Level by Rarity:

• Common: 4
• Uncommon: 8
• Rare: 12
• Epic: 16
• Legendary: 18
• Mythic: 20

Enhancement Priority

1. Weapon artifacts first - biggest DPS gain
2. Main DPS unit complete - before spreading resources
3. +16 minimum before moving to next piece
4. Mythic only for max investment

Rerolling Substats

Sub stats can be rerolled using tokens:

When to Reroll

DO Reroll:

• Mythic artifacts with bad subs
• Good main stat, 1-2 bad subs
• Endgame optimization

DON'T Reroll:

• Epic or below (not worth)
• Artifacts with 3+ good subs
• Limited tokens

Reroll Strategy

1. Lock good sub stats (if feature available)
2. Target worst sub stat
3. Stop when you get 3+ useful subs
4. Perfect rolls are luxury, not necessity

Farming Artifacts

Sources

Source	Drop Quality
Story Mode	Common-Rare
Infinite Tower	Rare-Legendary
Raid Battles	Epic-Mythic
Events	Legendary-Mythic
Shop	Guaranteed quality

Efficient Farming

1. Focus Raids for best drops
2. Complete Events for guaranteed Mythic
3. Don't farm story after completion
4. Save shop currency for Mythic pieces

Common Mistakes

1. Investing in Common-Rare - Wasted resources
2. Ignoring Sub Stats - Subs matter more than main at high levels
3. Wrong Sets - Destroyer on tanks = terrible
4. Spreading Resources - Max one unit before moving on
5. Skipping Set Bonuses - 4pc bonuses are huge
