All artifacts within a tier share the same upgrade cost and engulf value. Artifact rarity impacts their effectiveness, ranked highest to lowest:

Orange and Red artifacts are the highest tier. Some artifacts are hero-specific, granting unique abilities/stats when equipped. Exclusive artifact versions are generally stronger than standard versions, offering an additional property exclusive to heroes of a specific faction (indicated by a faction icon).
