Hot takeIs Infernal Flame really S+?Drag our heroes where you think they belong and share your list. 30 seconds, no account.Fight us on it
Tier S+Just activate it and deal huge single-target damage without aiming.
Tier S+Soaks up damage so well when paired with infantry that you will love it.
Tier SAbsolutely crazy artifact for marksman and should be your priority pick.
Tier Sincredible useful and amazing effect radius.
Tier A+Huge Radius and great damage.
Tier ARocked the worls in Season 1 for magic unit heroes but the Internal Flame is just stronger.
Tier AGreat stats for avalry and also great damage on the active skill.
Tier ACrazy strong for Tohar and Bertrand but also in general with the damage and the airborne control effect.
Tier ASimply useful and great, just the new artifacts have been putting it off a little bit so I ranked it down a notch.
Tier AGreat overall and if it would give attack instead of HP I would be happy to rank it higher.
Tier B+For any infantry that does counterattack this is a very strong and helful artifact but I don't want to rank it too crazy at this point.
Tier B+Perfect for Ffraegar and when used with her out of this world - but not universally great.
Tier B+Straightforward cavalry damage artifact.
Tier B+Solid universal artifact but can be super strong when dispelling debuffs is important or pretty much useless. More useful against the newer hero combinations.
Tier B+Very fun artifact but also hard to get in the forge or when you can there are better ones available to you.
Tier B+Nice long-range marksman artifact with good stats and damage but honestly at the point you get access to this in the forge you have better artifacts available already.
Tier B+Fine for attacking infantry setups but honestly when you have access to this at the forge you normally have better artifacts already.
Tier B+Really amazing for what it is and the best epic marksman artifact in Call of Dragons - but the legendaries are simply too good to rank this higher but still very valuable and worth to max.
Tier BThe stats are there and although I don't like the radius of the skill too much, it works. The issue here is there are so many crazy better options for cavalry available that I simply can't rank this higher.
Tier Bfor garrison captain and defending city great, but nothing else really useful.
Tier Bcan be a great artifact that is universal for the legion in the middle of the action to apply the damage effect effectively.
Tier BPretty cool on main def infantry tank legions but realisitically needs more stats and legendary to be good. I still think you should have it as backup ready.
Tier Bwhen you use the skill right to get the value it can really shine.
Tier C+The damage is there and usefu as offensive infantry artifact but you often times want something more defensive as infantry and the damage raius is also not ideal.
Tier C+pretty solid infantry artifact with good radius and stats.
Tier CCan do some work but there are simply so many better artifacts and unless you're cavalry teleporting around (which is fun, don't get me wrong), it is not that great overall and more useful for the stats.
Tier Cgreat for hutning cavalry but more fun than useful.
Tier Coverall not bad infantry artifact but the single-target makes it so much less effective.
Tier CSuper specific use-case for flying legions.
Tier Cfun for hunting but oother than that only for stats and very specific legions.
Tier Cwhy def on marksman? the buff is nice, though.
Tier Cfor early cavalry amazing and the whole kit great - but the low rarity and effect makes it kind of useless later.
Tier Cnice basic magic artifact until you get the better ones but great value on early Velyn as it apply freeze. Theoretically with him expertised amazing but expertised Velyn and blue artifact sounds a lot like theorycraft, right?.
Tier D+solid cavalry early-stage artifact but nothing too special.
Tier D+on paper great but when you only run a ble artifact on your main tank legion you really don't want to taunt, right?!.
Tier D+nice basic marksman artifact until you get the better ones.
Tier D+nice basic cavalry artifact until you get the better ones.
Tier D+nice basic infantry artifact until you get the better ones.
Tier Dthe healing effect is rarely needed and useful.
Tier DJust for rally leader.
Tier DCan be alright to use but why having def on marksman and the effect radius is also rarely useful.
Tier DWorks around Forondil and if you really want to make that invest is really questionable.
Tier DGreat beginner arifact and backup for stats unless you want to use it against higher level darklings.
Tier Dhealing along magic units is just not perfect and the HP is alright stat boost but also nothing too exciting.
Tier Dvery very rare cases to use and more with weaker epic magic legions to get out of trouble.
Tier Dpeacekeeping or stat box.
Tier Donly peacekeeping or attack stats for magic legions.
Tier Di see barely uses for it.
Tier Dcan be alright but nothing more.
Tier Dpeacekeeping only.
Tier -More an utility artifact, not in active ranking right now.
Tier -The march speed is nice and the ahste as well, but looking at it realistically there is not too much actual value away from the few situations where you actually use it.
Tier -pure utility artifact without much priority.
Tier -pure utility artifact without much priority.
Tier -Only for attacking Darklings useful.
Tier -the stats are not really helpful and the teleporting is also more a nie gimmick than actually effective.
Tier -only for march speed and best used in gather legions.
Tier -gathering artifact.
Tier -more a backup artifact and in 880% of all cases one to have on your gather legions.
Tier -gathering artifact.
