Hero Clash: How to Max Six Divine Artifacts on a Budget

To obtain and max six Divine Artifacts in Hero Clash on a budget, purchase only high-efficiency monthly passes and milestone event rewards, save all resources for targeted selection chests, and upgrade one artifact to maximum level before investing in another.

Spreading rare materials across multiple unfinished artifacts delays skill breakthroughs and weakens multi-team progression.

Core Rules for Budget Artifact Progression

Reaching maximum level on six Divine Artifacts supplies full skill multipliers and equips up to six lineups in multi-team modes like Legend Arena and Ancient Land trials. Follow two spending and resource rules to reach this goal without purchasing expensive daily bundles:

Target selection chests only: Spend diamonds and event tokens exclusively during events that offer custom artifact chests. Avoid generic gacha pools that give random shards.
Channel materials into one artifact at a time: Artifact stat growth and passive skill upgrades are heavily back-loaded. An artifact gains its strongest boosts at final tier thresholds, so partial upgrades across several items waste refinement materials.

The Six Artifact Roles to Prioritize

To maintain account value across changing game updates, build versatile artifacts that cover distinct tactical roles rather than situational pieces.

Role Focus	Intended Target	Tactical Function
Primary Burst	Main Damage Dealer	Grants massive offensive stats and critical burst to clear campaign stages.
Speed & Disruption	Primary Crowd Controller	Secures turn order priority to disable enemy teams before they take action.
Sustained Defense	Frontline Tank	Provides damage reduction and shields to survive heavy opening bursts.
Energy Generation	Key Support or Utility	Speeds up ultimate ability casts for faster crowd control or team buffs.
Healing Reduction	Debuffer or Sub-DPS	Limits enemy health recovery while applying consistent passive damage.
Multi-Target Damage	Secondary Carry	Boosts wide-area damage for secondary PvP lineups and trial teams.

Start with your primary carry's offensive weapon. Once your main damage dealer reliably clears stages, shift all chest selections to turn-order manipulation and frontline survival.

Step-by-Step Upgrading Plan

To avoid wasting enhancement minerals, manage your inventory with a structured loop:

Equip base artifacts without upgrading them: Place level 1 artifacts on secondary heroes simply to gain their base attributes, but spend zero upgrade stones on them.
Save materials until a full tier jump is guaranteed: Do not spend refinement stones incrementally. Hoard until you have the exact currency needed to clear major breakthrough thresholds.
Finish the item completely: Keep directing every universal shard and upgrade stone into your designated artifact until it hits maximum rank. Only after it is capped should you select and build your next target.

Exchange Traps to Avoid

Exchanging artifact chests for hero copies: S+ hero cards are regularly obtainable through summons, faction exchanges, and monthly shops. Divine Artifact shards are far more restricted and must remain your top exchange priority.
Switching targets mid-event: Stick to your selected artifact until it is completed. Splitting choices leaves you with fragmented shards that cannot activate breakthrough passives.
Buying low-tier defensive relics: Avoid investing selection chests into niche relics that lack percentage-based scaling. Prioritize artifacts that scale offensive stats, energy recovery, or turn order.
