Artifact Specialist

Artifact Specialist triples the power of every artifact you field. Artifacts are already swing-factors in Dominion; at 3× strength they become the centrepiece of your whole game plan and the most powerful single effect a legend can bring to a fight.

Starting loadout

Artifact Specialist begins each Dominion round with a fixed package of units, Soulstones, runes and a signature effect:

Value
Starter units100× Druid Naki
Starting Soulstones0
Starting runesNone

Signature effect: 3× artifact strength — the strongest artifact wielder in the game.

How to play Artifact Specialist

  • Build your round around artifacts. Prioritise capturing and upgrading artifact fields — each one is worth three times as much in your hands as anyone else's.
  • Concentrate force where your artifacts are. Their tripled strength turns a contested fight into a blowout, so bring them to the battles that decide the round.
  • Deny artifacts to rivals. Every artifact you hold is both a huge personal buff and one your opponents never get to use.
