Six decision roles
These are reader-friendly decision categories derived from search intent—not an official in-game classification.
Damage
Effects that reinforce attacks, elements or repeatable damage triggers.
Defense
Survival, mitigation, avoidance or recovery-oriented choices.
Magic
A lens for MP, cooldown and Grimoire-related build questions.
Companion
Summon and companion-focused questions; exact scaling remains under verification.
Economy
Choices that trade immediate power for future resources or selection quality.
Placement
Footprint, open space and the Artifact's relationship with Tablets.
How Artifacts work
Official Steam and TEAM HORAY descriptions confirm Artifacts as part of strategic inventory arrangement.
A complete list, official category taxonomy, drop pools and exact effects are not yet verified.
How to choose an Artifact
Name the job
Identify whether the item improves offense, survival, magic, companions, economy or placement.
Read the condition
Check the current tooltip for weapon, tag, direction, adjacency or empty-space requirements.
Test the board cost
Make sure the item and its Tablet relationships fit without dismantling a stronger interaction.
Prefer coherence
Strengthen a working plan unless a new item clearly justifies a pivot.

Artifact Constraints & Combo Effects
Evaluate effect fit, activation requirements, inventory cost and opportunity cost.
Inventory Grid
Use a five-step placement workflow and audit the full active layout.
Tablet Combinations
Test adjacency one variable at a time and keep the better complete layout.
Common placement mistakes
Filling the board too early
Preserve flexible space while the run direction is still developing.
Ignoring conditions
A strong-looking item may do little when its activation rule is not met.
Breaking a working cluster
Compare the total interaction lost, not only the rarity gained.
