What is Equipment?

In addition to leveling up, equipping your heroes with the right gear is crucial for enhancing their specific stats. Idle Heroes offers six distinct equipment slots for each hero:

  • Weapons
  • Armor
  • Shoes
  • Accessories
  • Artifacts
  • Gems/stones (Treasures)

Artifacts within the same tier share identical upgrading costs and engulf values. These artifacts are categorized by rarity, listed here from highest to lowest:

  • Orange
  • Red
  • Green
  • Purple
  • Yellow
  • Blue

The Orange and Red artifacts represent the pinnacle of artifact tiers. Some artifacts are hero-specific, granting unique abilities and stats when equipped to the designated hero. These exclusive artifacts are generally more potent than their standard versions and offer an additional property exclusive to heroes of the corresponding faction, indicated by the faction icon.

For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy Idle Heroes on a larger screen using their PC or laptop with BlueStacks, along with the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
