ARTIFACTS & CHAMPIONS

Last Updated: 03/14/2023

Artifacts

As you start a Season, you will be introduced to an artifact. Artifacts are seasonal tools that provide new perks that you can unlock over time!
In addition, an Artifact also enables an artificial power boost as you continue to earn XP through various activities.
The types of perks provided by an artifact vary by season.
Unlocking additional columns within the artifact allows you to obtain stronger perks that you can utilize for the entire season.
To acquire the Ascendant Scepter in Season 20, complete the seasonal introductory mission.
