In Call of Dragons, artifacts play a crucial role in making your heroes stronger. There are numerous artifacts available in the game, each with its own unique skills and buffs. Some artifacts are incredibly powerful and outperform others in every in-game situation. Upgrading and leveling artifacts is a challenging task, but it is important to ensure your heroes are as strong as possible.
To choose the right artifact, you should consider factors such as what heroes you are using, what stage of the game you are in, and what your goals are. In general, it is recommended to use artifacts that are rated as tier S and tier A, as they are the best in the game and offer the best return on your time and effort.
If you are a new player, artifacts may not be a major concern at first. However, as you progress further in the game, it is important to avoid using artifacts that are rated as tier C and tier D, as they are the worst in Call of Dragons. Once you have selected the right artifact, you can check the Call of Dragons Heroes Tier list to find out the best heroes for your gameplay.
Please note that the artifact tier list is still in beta and will be updated when additional testing is done or when the game is officially released.

If the skill successfully eliminates the target legion, one buff is granted. Reproach’s damage increases by 20% for each buff obtained, with a maximum of 5 stacks. The buff effect lasts until the legion returns to the city or enters a stronghold or a resource point.
