in this post we will show you the Lucky Defense Artifacts Guide Importance of Artifacts: Unlocking all the artifacts is the easiest way to progress quickly. In order to unlock artifacts, you need to obtain keys and use them in the Artifact Mine.
Location: The Artifact Mine is in the located in the shop on the bottom left hand side of the main menu.
Collecting Keys: The mine allows you to get a free key every 12 hours. Make sure to collect your free key as often as possible with minimal time between availability. You can earn a limited number of keys through the Hunt Pass, and also as a reward for reaching different tier milestones. You also earn keys upon leveling up.
Lastly, You can buy keys in the shop under the Daily Deals section. It is worth is to refresh the shop at a chance for keys
Note: When refreshing the shop, keep an eye out for Bandit shards too.
Strategy:
If you are new to the game, get as many keys as quick as you can, for the most chances at unlocking good artifacts. The more keys you have, means the more artifacts you can activate which means the faster you can progress.
If you see a specific artifact in the shop that you haven’t unlocked yet, it is 100% worth it to spend the 800 gems to purchase it.
The same logic applies to the keys, which cost 420 gems in the shop.
