Pick the unit you want to gear
Artifacts roll stat modifiers onto a specific unit. Decide which fighter you're gearing up first — usually your strongest damage dealer — before you spend any roll.
Anime Origins Artifacts
Artifacts are a relic-style equipment system, like Warframe relics rolled for stats: you equip one and it rolls a stat modifier for that unit. This guide explains how artifact rolls actually work step by step, which artifacts to equip first, and ranks roll quality with honest labels — never invented odds.
Roll tiers
How an artifact is worth it
Equip an artifact and it rolls stat modifiers for the unit. Higher-quality artifacts roll stronger stats, but exact roll rates are not published by the developer — this site never invents odds.
Honesty boundary: we rank artifacts by what they can roll and label every value community-reported. If a roll-rate table shows up without a developer source, we treat it as an estimate, not a fact.
How it works
How an artifact roll happens, step by step
An artifact isn't a finished item — it's a slot that rolls a stat for whoever carries it. Here's the sequence you'll follow every time you gear a unit.
Equip the artifact to open the slot
Equipping an artifact opens its roll on that unit. You have a free relic slot available — place an artifact there and prepare to roll the stat it grants.
Roll the stat modifier
The artifact rolls a stat value for the unit. Some rolls are clearly stronger than others — a good roll can meaningfully lift a unit's damage or survivability, while a weak roll barely moves the needle.
Keep good rolls, reroll weak ones
Judge the result against the roll-quality table below. Keep rolls that help your team and spend currency to reroll the weak ones, exactly like you reroll traits for a better bonus.
Roll-quality table
Artifact roll quality, community-reported
Exact drop rates are not developer-published. This table ranks the quality of a roll by what kind of bonus it typically lands, based on what players report. Every label here is community-reported, never a precise percentage.
| Roll quality | What players report | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| High-roll | The scarce, expensive result that grants a big stat bonus — the artifact you save and keep. | Keep and build around |
| Mid-roll | A usable bonus that helps on supports or bench units, but not worth chasing further on a carry. | Keep for now, replace later |
| Low-roll | A weak bonus that barely moves the unit's performance — common early on. | Reroll when you have currency |
Community-reported labels only. We do not publish percentages for roll quality because no reliable developer source exists.
High-roll artifacts
The scarce relics worth equipping and saving — they roll the biggest stat bonuses and make a carry unit dominant.
Artifacts to roll early
Lower-quality artifacts still matter — a decent stat roll helps you clear harder story waves sooner and farm more gems.
Artifacts + traits
Artifacts stack with a unit's equipped traits; pairing them well multiplies your damage beyond any single roll.
Priority
What to equip first
You almost never have enough high-quality artifacts for every unit at once. Spend the good ones where they move your team the most, in this order.
Your carry unit
Your main damage dealer gets your best artifact rolls first. A carry with a high-roll artifact clears waves far faster and justifies every gem you spend.
Secondary damage & supports
Once your carry is set, give mid-roll artifacts to your off-damage and support units so the whole team survives and clears faster.
Bench units
Only gear units you actually field often. Don't dump a scarce high-roll artifact onto a bench unit you rarely use.
Checklist
Start rolling artifacts today
Work through this list once and your artifacts will be feeding the loop instead of sitting in your bag.
- Open your units and pick your single strongest carry unit to gear first.
- Equip your highest-quality artifact onto that carry and roll its stat.
- Judge the roll against the roll-quality table above — is it worth keeping?
- Reroll weak rolls once you have currency, and stop when you land a mid- or high-roll that helps.
- Repeat for your off-damage and supports before you touch bench units.
- Pair the artifact with the unit's traits — stacking both maximizes the damage multiplier.
