Artifacts

Previous Versions can be found here.

Basics

Artifacts are a type of mechanic released in Beta 18.0 that will affect the outcome of battles. Most of these have an effect that trigger once and on the first turn, but others take place either during the entire match or at the end of it.

You start out with the Artifacts Experience, Draw, Health, Poke, and Solidity. The rest cost gold to get:

• 300G for a Normal Artifact
• 1000G for a Legendary Artifact

You can get to pick up to 2 Artifacts, except if you pick an Legendary Artifact, then you can't choose a second one. The only way to get a third Artifact is from Gerson.

History

Onutrem tweeted on December 24, 2017 that a new mechanic will come in the next season of Ranked. On December 28, it was revealed that Artifacts was the big reveal.
