Wit (Sword)
Critical hits generate threat and New World gold reduce incoming damage
This Artifact turns agile DPS into hybrid off-tanks, making Sword builds much more viable in both solo and group PvE.

Chaos (Blunderbuss)
Shots launch enemies with fiery impact and explosive force
Great for PvP — knock enemies off points or cliffs with this chaos-infused weapon. Combines burst damage with disruptive CC.

Runic Greaves (Heavy Feet)
Gain a speed burst after using Heartrune abilities
Heavy builds often suffer from sluggish mobility — this Artifact fixes that, making tanks and bruisers more dynamic in and out of combat.

Lich Gloves (Light Hands)
Stack Empower with every ability use, increasing damage dealt
A glass cannon’s dream. Especially useful for fire mages, healers, or bow users looking to maximize sustained ability damage.

Build Diversity at an All-Time High
These new Artifacts build upon those introduced in earlier seasons, offering synergistic effects that encourage hybrid builds and new class archetypes. Whether you’re mixing lifesteal with healing, or turning a ranged DPS into a stagger-heavy frontline, the possibilities are nearly endless.

With no equipment score cap on seasonal servers, players can now focus entirely on building the perfect character without limitations — making Artifacts even more central to endgame progression in Season 8.

Expect to see wild new builds emerging in both PvE and PvP — and with the addition of new maps and rotating bosses, there are plenty of chances to test them all.

Let me know if you'd like this section visually enhanced with item icons, builds using these artifacts, or PvP/PvE tier lists for cheap New World coins artifact synergy.
