Plan your next Artifact session
Our independent guide offers practical exercises to help you explore Artifact’s strategic depth, from managing a shared mana pool to mastering hero‑specific decks, without relying on paid upgrades or external tools.
01 / THE GUIDE
Mana Allocation Study
Play ten matches focusing on how the shared mana pool influences lane decisions. Record each lane’s spend and note moments where shifting mana changed the outcome.
- Watch all three lanes to anticipate opponent pushes.
- Plan combos knowing mana will not vary between lanes.
02 / THE GUIDE
Full‑Board Awareness
During a series of games, keep your eyes on all three lanes simultaneously. Log any early detections of opponent moves and how they altered your response.
- Use unlimited mana to play high‑cost units early.
- Keep a large hand to maintain options throughout the match.
03 / THE GUIDE
Hero Draft Comparison
Draft each new hero once in Hero Draft mode. Write down each hero’s unique cards and compare their strengths against a baseline hero.
- Review each hero’s card pool before drafting.
- Adjust lane pressure based on your opponent’s hero choice.
04 / THE GUIDE
PvE Scenario Experiment
Complete every beginner campaign scenario, then replay each with a different deck composition. Observe how deck changes affect success rates.
- Complete tutorial scenarios to unlock all hero cards.
- Use the campaign to test lane‑control ideas safely.
05 / THE GUIDE
Unlimited Resources Test
In Classic mode, deliberately build a large hand and many units to see how unlimited resources affect strategy and board control.
- Enable Steam Cloud to keep your collection synced.
- Switch operating systems without losing progress.
