AFK Arena Artifact Tier List & Priority 2023 (September)

Table of Contents

This is an AFK Arena Artifact tier list & priority guide. Artifacts in the game are special trinkets that can be equipped by heroes. They provide raw stats and powers.

Uniquely, the only way to obtain artifacts is from the Peaks of Time. Dura’s artifacts are found within the Historic Ventures, while class-exclusive artifacts are from the much harder Trials of God section.

They do not work in certain game modes, such as the Legends’ Championship and The Abyssal Expedition.

AFK Arena Artifact Priority List

As the choice of artifacts for heroes is quite limited in battles, you’ll need to decide which ones to use.

Want to increase a heroes damage? Use either Eye, Blade, Conviction, Windbinder (Mage), Chaos Bringer (Warrior) or Shroud of Verdure (Ranger).

Want to increase a heroes survivability? Use either Grace, Chalice of Vitality, Drape or Barricade (Tank).

Want to increase a heroes utility? Use either Call or Tidebearer (Support).

Waistband of Resilience is more of a niche artifact, and should generally only be used when your team has CC. However, if that’s the case it can be the best for some tanks.

AFK Arena Class Artifacts

Class specific artifacts can be obtained from the Trials of God adventures, found in the Peaks of Time.

These artifacts can only be worn by a certain class, however up to 8 of each said class can wear them at the same time.

They’re leveled up by using Class Exclusive Artifact Fragments. This currency comes from AFK rewards.

It’s important to note that all class exclusive artifacts use this currency, so you’ll have to choose which one to level first.
