Understanding Equipment Basics

Beyond leveling up, equipping gear serves as the primary method for enhancing hero attributes. Each hero can utilize six distinct equipment slots:

Weapons
Armor
Footwear
Accessories
Artifacts
Gemstones/Treasures

Artifacts within the same tier share identical upgrade requirements and enhancement values. As previously mentioned, artifacts vary in rarity levels. Below is the descending rarity hierarchy:

Legendary (Orange)
Epic (Red)
Rare (Green)
Uncommon (Purple)
Common (Yellow)
Basic (Blue)

Legendary and Epic artifacts represent the pinnacle of gear quality. Certain artifacts offer hero-specific bonuses, unlocking unique abilities and stat boosts when equipped by matching characters. These faction-exclusive variants typically surpass standard artifacts in power and include specialized attributes marked by corresponding faction symbols.

For an immersive experience, players can run Idle Heroes on PC or laptop through BlueStacks, enjoying expanded gameplay with keyboard and mouse controls.
