10. Ms. Marvel
Ms. Marvel in-game can be a powerhouse if you have the right gear equipped, especially the Major Artifacts. Ms. Marvel’s strength lies in her ability to grow bigger than her usual size, whether it’s using her intrinsic or her Ultimate Heroic. To make the best of Ms. Marvel, you’ll need to do more damage and have your Heroics ready at all times, which is why the best Major Artifacts are the Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will and the Ring of Nibelung.

9. Spider-Man
Spider-Man’s is surprisingly more of a support character than anything else. He can still deal a lot of damage, but not on the same level as other characters like Thor or Iron Man, just enough to make him strong. With that in mind, Spider-Man’s best Major Artifacts are Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will and Ring of the Nibelung.

8. Kate Bishop
Kate Bishop’s explosive arrows make for perfect status damage. Her Demolitions Charge Arrow and Demolitions Expert skills allow Kate to shoot explosive arrows on to enemies and detonate them at will. If Kate has a status effect like Plasma or Sonic, the explosion will affect any enemy, leading to more damage. Which is why the Tactigon is the best Artifact Kate can use, second place being Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will just for damage.

7. Black Widow
Black Widow is a master spy who fights best when she’s invisible. Luckily, there’s a Major Artifact in the game that allows Black Widow to enter the shadows when activated, the Vishanti Appendix XIII. Black Widow does more damage when invisible, and can even perform takedowns on weakened enemies as such. But if you’re not into invisibility and would rather prefer doing damage, you can use the Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will.

6. Hawkeye
Hawkeye, like Kate Bishop, can do massive status effect damage with his skills. Specifically, the Bag of Tricks skill, Hawkeye can shoot arrows that will damage his enemies and inflict them with any status effect equipped on Hawkeye. From that information alone, it’s clear to see that the Tactigon skill is the best Major Artifact for Hawkeye. A close second would be the Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will, just for the Damage Boost it offers.

5. Hulk
The big guy loves to do damage, smashing enemies left and right like they’re nothing. Obviously, the best Artifact to put on Hulk would be the Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will. However, Hulk can get overwhelmed pretty easily due to him being a huge target, and that his skills can aggro all enemies near him.
If you’re willing to sacrifice damage for defense, then the Sacred Norn Stone of Obsidian Spirit is perfect for Hulk. It is essentially the opposite of Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will. Instead of focusing on damage, the artifact will focus on defense and health.

Iron Man’s weapons can cause status effect quickly more than any other character. Equip his range gear with any status effect and you’ll see results quick. Tactigon is one of the best Artifacts for Iron Man, but you can also use Ring of the Nibelung. The Ring of the Nibelung will spawn intrinsic and Heroic orbs for him and any of his teammates to recharge. Iron Man can then use his recharged intrinsic to fire his weapons and use his Heroic skills.

3. Black Panther
The King of Wakanda specializes in Vibranium. No surprise, as it is what gives Wakanda its technological edge. In-game, there is an artifact called Kimoyo Band that allows the player to summon Okoye, the leader of the Dora Milaje, while simultaneously increasing the effect of the Vibranium status effect. This is naturally one of Black Panther’s best artifacts.
His second best would have to be the classic Norn Stone of Lethal Will, mostly just so he can do extra damage.

Captain America can do this all day with the correct artifacts that will improve his strength. One of which is the Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will. Obviously, you’ll want Cap to hit hard and throw hard, which will be possible with the Damage Boost. If you’re not into damage, his second best artifact is the Ring of the Nibelung, which will spawn Heroic Orbs for Cap to use once it’s activated.

1. Thor
Thor is the God of Thunder, and as a god, you should take advantage of the skills he possesses. Use his intrinsic and Heroic skills to its full potential until it runs out. Then, when you’re finished, you can use the Ring of the Nibelung to completely recharge both his intrinsic and his Heroics.
If you’re looking to do more damage using Thor’s thunder, then you can use the Tactigon. Thor naturally deals Shock status effect due to his thunder and lightning, so activating the Tactigon as Thor will increase the effectiveness of his intrinsic.
