Mythic Heroes Artifacts & Runes Guide

Updated: November 3, 2021 – Added Iset & Flora, adjusted recommended builds.

This is a guide to Artifacts & Runes in Mythic heroes. These items are the main gear that heroes can use in the game. Each hero can only equip 1 artifact together with 3 runes, making gearing up relatively simple and easy to manage.

Mythic Heroes Artifacts & Runes Guide

To manage them, simply go to the page of a hero and tap on Equipment to access the modification area. They can be either manually changed or automatically equipped via the Quick Change function in the lower right corner.

There are 8 different types of Artifacts and Runes currently in the game and their skill bonuses vary.

Upgrading Lv. 1–3 Equipment will increase Hero attributes. For Equipment above Lv.4, Hero skills will also be enhanced.

Which Artifacts & Runes to Use on a Hero?

This is a list of recommended artifacts & runes to use on each hero.

  • Main Carries should use Fire or Thunder runes with either the Axe, Staff or Chakra artifact.
  • Mages should use Air runes with the Yasakani artifact.
  • Supports should use Air or Forest runes with either the Yasakani, Excalibur or Hammer artifact.
  • Healers or shield casters should use Water runes.
  • Tanks should use the Earth, Light or Dark runes with either the Excalibur, Hammer, Badge, Shield artifact.
  • Heroes whose ultimate does not deal damage can forget using Chakra.
  • Heroes who are squishy or need to survive a little more to be useful can use Badge.

You can filter this list by Best Artifact or Rune to see which one is the best for each hero.
