That covers all the Artifacts listed for Wanderburg. As you can see, they are not all focused on simply increasing damage. Some improve your economy, others help with cooldowns and Nitro, while several can completely change how your attacks behave.
When choosing Artifacts during a run, I would recommend paying attention to the type of build you are already using. Arrow, melee, magic, cannonball, fire, and utility-focused Artifacts can become much more valuable when they work together instead of being selected randomly.
Some of the unlockable Artifacts also require specific tasks to be completed, so it is worth keeping those requirements in mind while playing. With the right combination of Artifacts, you can build around damage, survival, Gold farming, or different special effects depending on how you want your Wanderburg run to develop.
