Wanderburg artifacts: all 87 effects and choices

87 RECORDS

Find equipment, compare effects and follow the links between upgrades, unlocks and encounters.

Best artifacts: choose by effect, not by price

Use this Wanderburg artifact list to compare all 87 effects, then open a card for alternatives and equipment pairings. The best artifact for your run needs a working trigger: an arrow-kill bonus does nothing for a loadout that never kills with arrows.

Your build needs	Compare these artifacts	What to check
Faster boost	V8: +10% / V10: +25%	Both apply while using nitro. They do not add tank capacity.
More time on nitro	Catalyst / Auxilliary Tank	20% lower consumption versus 20 extra maximum nitro.
Arrow damage	Iron Bow / Golden Bow	15% versus 30% arrow damage; choose an arrow attack first.
Health buffer or healing	Hardened Steel / Heal	30 maximum HP versus 30% healing. A larger maximum and restoring health solve different problems.
Damage against slowed enemies	Frost Orb	20% extra damage needs a slowed target. Harvester is immune to slow.

How do I get or unlock artifacts?

Separate the artifacts offered during a run from the unlock purchases between runs. Compare 22 listed artifact prices and purchase choices; a missing price does not identify a specific drop source. In 0.9.10, every six unlocked artifacts grants one additional Artifact Reroll. Module unlocks use their own separate reroll count.

Is there one artifact tier list for every build?

Compare only effects that your loadout can use. V10 has the larger listed boost-speed bonus than V8, but a nitro-consumption artifact may fix a different failure. Start with the Wanderburg build comparisons, then choose between damage, trigger support and survival. Use the resource guide when health, nitro or Silver is the limiting factor.
