Each of these weapons and armor pieces has its own questline to acquire it. The Boltcaster Bow allows you to stun and shock enemies. The Winged Shoes boost your speed and reduce your cooldowns. With The Frozen Gauntlet, you can freeze and finish off enemies. There are five other artifacts like these that will enable new combat abilities and change up your gameplay.

Refreshing Move: Light and Heavy attacks reduce your active weapon cooldowns by 2.5% (0.2s cooldown).

Enchanted: Light and Heavy attacks deal +5% damage.

This unique weapon takes more of an offensive approach for the life staff and increases the damage. You deal based on how many times you’re healing people, so it is sure there are some fun interactions there for players to find. Originally this is going to nerf your healing as well, so it looks like they took away from that unless this is in the perks that we don’t have unlocked hold on.

2 - Gladiator (Artifact Round Shield)

Main Perks:

Jagged Spikes: When you are hit in melee inflict bleed on your attacker dealing 10% weapon damage for 10s (3 cooldown)

You should want to pair this unique round shield with a sword and butcher, you don’t really want to use this with a flail, because two weapon perks on this artifact shield for the sword. This does sorts of thorns where when you take melee damage, you then inflict a bleed on the player.

Key Perks:

Electrified - 99% damage converted to lightning, and lightning damage is increased by 20% for both weapons.

This is a bow that can stun and shock enemies. It is great to have lightning damage increased on the bow, but the other good thing about this bow is if you hit someone with full health, you get stunned!
