Why don’t we invent some artifacts to make the gameplay more dynamic and teach you how you would utilize most of them?
Artifacts will be in a category, and can be bought in Galactic Store or in Heroware for discounts.
Your artifact will display right here:
Now here are some of my best ideas:
Semi Automatic Ammorack (Passive)
You keep firing at the enemies and your weapon will fire faster.
How it works:
- Hit or kill enemies to gradually fill up the tick mark.
- There will be 4 marks. Each mark increases weapon’s fire rate by 20%.
- Duration for each mark: 12 seconds (the time takes to drop from the current mark to the lower if no enemies are hit)
- Overdrive/ Accumulator can’t be used when equipping this artifact.
