There are several artifacts in Idle Heroes with different colors, effects, upgrade costs and engulf values. They're graded by their colors and can be upgraded to different levels, depending on their tier. If you find a faction icon behind an effect ( ), it means, that only a hero of this faction will profit from this property.
All artifacts of a specific tier have the same upgrade cost and engulf value. Afterglow is the only exception, that cannot be upgraded. It will be generated, when you improve an artifact with a higher amount than needed.
