To optimize squad performance following Update 3.6 in Invincible: Guarding the Globe, equip compatible artifacts to your primary damage dealers first and prioritize percentage-based stat upgrades over flat stat bonuses.

Accessing and Equipping Artifacts

The Update 3.6 Artifacts system introduces dedicated slots to customize hero passive stats.

  1. Open the hero roster and select the character you want to build.
  2. Locate the dedicated artifact slot on the hero detail screen.
  3. Check gear compatibility before spending upgrade materials. Items enforce faction-based or class-based restrictions, so verify that the item matches your character's role (DPS, Tank, or Support).

Because artifact upgrade materials are limited, spreading resources evenly across your roster leads to progression bottlenecks.

  • Focus on Primary DPS Carries: Invest upgrade materials into your main damage dealer first. Faster clear times in GDA Ops accelerate your farming speed for other essential currencies.
  • Select Percentage-Based Stats: Prioritize artifacts offering percentage Attack or Health increases over flat numerical additions, as percentage scaling yields higher benefits in late-game stages.
  • Target Clutch Conditional Effects: Watch for artifacts that trigger bonuses when hero health drops below specific thresholds during difficult boss stages.

Managing Material Economy and Inventory

Upgrading high-tier artifacts requires balancing daily energy usage and recycling low-tier gear:

  • Daily GDA Ops Runs: Allocate at least one full daily energy allocation to GDA Ops stages that drop artifact material components rather than focusing entirely on standard Hero XP.
  • Dismantle Low-Rarity Gear: Periodically audit your inventory to dismantle low-rarity artifacts you no longer use. Dismantling returns a portion of your investment, which you can redirect into high-rarity items.

Aligning Artifacts with Hero Kits

Avoid stacking redundant passive stats on heroes whose base abilities already cover those functions:

  • Complement Base Kits: If a hero already possesses strong self-sustain skills, equip artifacts boosting Crit Rate or raw damage rather than extra lifesteal.
  • Check Event Synergies: For recurring GDA Ops events, check whether specialized artifacts offer drop rate bonuses or targeted faction damage modifiers before starting your run.
