Songs of Conquest: The Ultimate Artifact Guide
Almost every strategy game with RPG elements relies on equipable items to provide an in-depth character-building experience. Wearable gear that buffs or grants additional abilities to the main character has become standard in every RPG-based game, and Songs of Conquest’s artifact system is no exception.
There are nine different types of artifacts in the game, each serving a different purpose. These artifacts boost the Wielder’s stats and provide bonuses to their armies.
