Heroes VI: artifacts, 32 Dynasty weapons and 11 sets
211 documented entries with original illustrations, numerical effects, requirements, Czech and English rules and tactics. Each of 32 Dynasty weapons has five detailed ranks. Eleven sets identify 66 exact pieces and two-, four- and six-piece thresholds.
Base game, Pirates of the Savage Sea, Danse Macabre and Shades of Darkness through the historical inventory. Four fragments have separate illustrations with editorial indices; three mana-potion sizes share a card, and scrolls currently have a generic entry. These are 211 reference entries rather than a claim covering every item variant in every map.

Enemy creatures · Morale / Luck
−1 / −1
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The penalties affect the opponent rather than curse friendly troops or subtract two Might Power. Heroes VI morale and luck retain their own resolution and creature-type conditions; another game’s percentages are not imported.
Practical use
Inexpensive preparation against eligible living stacks when both penalties help. Against creatures without ordinary morale assess the Luck effect separately and compare another helmet rather than expecting universal control.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Enemy creatures · Morale
−3
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The penalty is neither automatic sleep nor guaranteed loss of every action. The mask alone grants no full-set poison or Initiative bonuses. Creature morale eligibility and the enemy army’s actual state matter.
Practical use
Useful in a control plan against morale-dependent troops. Against Mask of the Madman compare the individual penalty with reaching a particular Assassin’s Set threshold.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Enemy creatures · Morale
−6
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This concerns enemy morale rather than simultaneously reducing Luck, Might Defense or dealing damage. Further set thresholds are not granted merely by wearing the mask alone.
Practical use
A stronger narrow specialization than Spider Helm’s smaller two-stat effect. Choose through the actual opponent, and do not let a morale plan replace protection against guaranteed attacks.

Granted spell
Lightning Bolt
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Leadership and spell access are distinct effects. Lightning Bolt hits one target rather than becoming Chain Lightning. The entry establishes neither free casting nor automatic top-reputation spell strength.
Practical use
Compare new single-target damage with the bearer’s abilities and actual mana. Treat historical spell-card values as reference examples; hero attributes and target protection still determine actual damage.

Naval combat · Leadership
+7
Hero · sight radius
+2
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The naval condition belongs to combat Leadership. Sight is listed separately and differs from faster sailing. The item itself removes no boarding cost and grants no creature Water Walking.
Practical use
On an island map compare naval combat value with spotting coastal destinations early. Before a decisive land fight do not count the conditional seven as a general contribution.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Might Defense is not general Magic Defense. The artifact reference names Enlightenment without specifying the exact additional amount or stacking with a learned version. Unverified contributions are not added as another settled XP multiplier.
Practical use
Assess the documented defense and Leadership alongside the installed ability’s actual state. While assembling Windswords Set track individual pieces separately from shared thresholds.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Hero · Leadership
+10
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Leadership supports led creatures’ morale rather than adding ten Might Power, direct HP or protection from the first three attacks. That protection belongs to Guardian Breastplate, not this helmet alone.
Practical use
Compare value for an eligible army with alternative magical or physical defense. In the Guardian set track two, four and six pieces; one high-Leadership piece does not provide the full six-piece bonus.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Hero · Might Power
+7
Led creatures · Initiative
+5 points
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Initiative is five flat points rather than five percent or movement reach. Might Power supports applicable physical attacks. The helmet belongs to Warlord’s Set; its name alone does not restrict the bonus to Crag Hack.
Practical use
For a physical army compare both hit strength and key-stack order. If five changes who strikes first, its value differs from merely counting damage in a longer fight; Heroes V ATB arithmetic does not apply.

Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This differs from the four sight points of the Heroes V namesake. The 1.7 change list reports fixing the crown’s nonfunctional effect; an older result cannot be generalized to every later installation. One Vagrant’s Set piece.
Practical use
For a 1000 XP award the two-percent branch alone adds twenty XP before other modifiers. Assess scouting and rewards over the route; a decisive fight can prefer a specialized combat helmet.

Carrier inventory
Head
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The short artifact description does not settle whether every branch uses a relative multiplier or percentage points of final chance. The 1.5.2 list reports fixing the nonfunctional artifact; it does not promise every neutral stack will join.
Practical use
Value depends on actual neutral negotiations and personal diplomacy abilities. Compare it with combat equipment and whether it reaches a desired Regent-set threshold.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Hero · Destiny
+2
Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This specific numeric description grants neither sailing movement nor another game’s ship summoning. Destiny supports creature Luck; Pirate-set thresholds require their own assessment.
Practical use
A less expensive Pirate piece supporting applicable combat chances. Before equipping for water travel compare an actual sailing item rather than relying on the pirate-themed name.

Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Magic defense, mana limit and recovery are three distinct effects. A larger limit is not itself an empty-reserve refill or learning a new spell. The coif belongs to Prophet’s Set.
Practical use
For an extended-route caster compare actual spending, recovery and enemy damage type. Against purely physical pressure Magic Defense does not replace another helmet’s Might Defense.

Carrier inventory
Head
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The Polish Zawładnięcie corresponds to Puppet Master in the Dark Magic reference. Temporary control ends when the affected stack takes damage; creatures are not permanently recruited. Consult the linked spell card for cost, duration and target eligibility.
Practical use
Eight Magic Power strengthens applicable magical effects. Before controlling a target plan other stacks’ attacks so friendly area damage does not prematurely break control.

Practical use
Equip against a known Fire threat; against physical troops compare other shields’ higher Might Defense. Relate older malfunction reports to the installed patch.

One Guardian’s Set piece supports morale and physical defense. Set health thresholds depend on equipped-piece count rather than the lion name or carrying pieces in the backpack.

Haven
Carrier inventory
Off hand · shield, bow or libram
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Changes racial-ability charging rather than directly raising its rank, protection duration or Might Defense. Requires Haven. Ten percent does not promise another angel after every attack.
Practical use
Assess whether earlier charge thresholds protect a key stack in time. In a short fight that never reaches another threshold, direct shield defense may contribute more.
How it works · parameters, rules and further relationships
Shooters · damage
+1
Carrier inventory
Off hand · shield, bow or libram
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This is a flat shooter-damage contribution rather than one hero Might Power. The crossbow itself specifies no removal of distance, obstacle or melee penalties.
Practical use
A flat point has the greatest proportional effect on numerous low-base-damage shooters. Before a distant shot compare a bow that also removes the distance penalty.
Where to compare it in practice
Conditional uses and multiple profiles to compare. Links establish neither item owners nor guaranteed starting inventory.
Ranged army
When numerous shooters use a flat damage contribution across several shots.
It is not hero Might Power, and the crossbow alone removes no distance, obstacle or melee restriction.

Off hand · shield, bow or libram
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The description concerns a shooter’s contact retaliation. It grants neither penalty-free shooting across the battlefield nor automatically unlimited retaliations. One Warlord’s Set piece.
Practical use
Consider it when opponents regularly pin shooters with fast contact units. For a purely ranged exchange compare Unicorn Horn Bow and Emerald Yumi Bow.
Adds two shooter Might Damage and removes their range penalty.
When it fits: Useful for opening fire across a long distance.

Carrier inventory
Off hand · shield, bow or libram
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Flat physical damage differs from hero Might Power. Removing the range penalty alone does not remove every obstacle or enemy contact; these conditions must be considered separately.
Practical use
Useful for opening fire across a long distance. If obstacles cover the firing lane, Emerald Yumi Bow explicitly removes that penalty too and adds another damage point.
Where to compare it in practice
Conditional uses and multiple profiles to compare. Links establish neither item owners nor guaranteed starting inventory.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Three points are flat physical damage rather than three Might Power or three percent. Removing those two shooting penalties does not itself grant unlimited retaliation or remove every defensive ability on the target.
Practical use
For numerous physical shooters and distant covered targets. Before trading it for a shield compare the penalties actually removed and how many friendly creatures will shoot.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The book occupies the off hand. Capacity and daily recovery are separate: this grants neither every spell in a school nor that recovery after each combat round. A higher maximum is not an immediate full refill.
Practical use
A modest reserve for early caster exploration. If spending ten mana daily, two recovery alone is insufficient; reserves, a town or another verified recovery source must cover the remainder.

This book does not automatically add mana capacity or every spell. It is one of six Magister’s Set pieces. Destiny and spell strength support different parts of the combat plan.
Practical use
Compare casting strength and Luck support with Codex of the Archmage’s reserve. On a long route a smaller reserve can limit the number of fights even if individual hits grow stronger.
Adds five Magic Defense and reduces enemy-creature healing by five percent.

Five-percent healing reduction is neither a complete healing ban nor immediate damage. The separate five Magic Defense is a defensive attribute. A Greater Lich’s Set piece.

Daily recovery belongs to the adventure map. Meditation is a separate active ability with its own cost and use limit; twelve does not mean recovery every round. One Windswords’ Set piece.
Practical use
Daily recovery matters for a sequence of fights; current mana for Meditation matters in the decisive encounter. Open the linked ability and compare its cost with its subsequent benefit.

Sea travel is not creature reach in a naval fight. The entry explicitly concerns movement points spent passing whirlpools; it does not establish general immunity to creature losses or free boarding.
Practical use
On a water route compare eight with Sextant of the Sea Elves’ six and the cost of using the off hand. This naval eight does not extend a purely land-based day.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
This is structural damage rather than every creature’s Might Damage or automatically destroying an entire wall. The tome occupies the off hand and matters during an actual siege.
Practical use
Use when the extra point shortens the time to breach a needed wall section. In a field fight compare a shield, bow or mana book because there is no fortification for the catapult to breach.

Provides physical strength through an off-hand weapon. Does not occupy the main Dynasty-weapon position, but competes with a shield, bow or libram. The piece alone does not grant complete-set poison effects.
Practical use
Use in an offensive composition or to reach an Assassin threshold. Against dangerous physical pressure compare three offensive points with the replaced shield’s defense.

Teleport relocates an eligible friendly stack on the battlefield; it is neither adventure-map hero movement nor Town Portal. A Greater Lich’s Set piece with effects distinct from the Heroes V namesake.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The Polish card says +2 Obrona, corresponding to Might Defense; the English inventory lists +2 Magic Defense. Both agree on two HP. The disputed defense is not counted in both attributes. One Prophet’s Set piece.

Cloak and back
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Applies to the corresponding defense against Light, not every school simultaneously. Patch 1.5.2 repairs these school-specific cloaks. Ten points means neither ten-percent resistance nor automatic full-school immunity.
Practical use
Compare against an actual Light damage dealer. If the opponent uses the school only for friendly healing, this specialization does not reduce that recovery.

Occupies the main hand and uses five Dynasty ranks rather than hero levels. The table separates progressively unlocked effects; an explicitly upgraded ability changes its earlier version. Historical damage, healing and summon values do not guarantee identical results for every hero. Access after Conflux shutdown depends on installation and profile; see the rules guide.
Practical use
Choose a friendly stack able to use recovery and plan repeated hero hits against eligible living targets. Exclude the ambiguous second rank from exact kill calculations.
A Magic Dynasty weapon: mana theft, Initiative suppression and spreading Prime venom.

Compare suppressing Luck with another pocket item and reaching a Pirate threshold. Against threats whose dangerous actions do not use Luck, direct protection may be better.

Removed
Carrier inventory
Equipped pocket item
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Does not automatically add combat movement or pass every impassable obstacle. One Vagrant’s Set piece. Removing terrain penalties differs from travel boots adding flat movement points.
Practical use
Compare the actual terrain along the route. On a smooth road without penalized sections the removal alone contributes less than along a long rough-terrain route.

Retreat and surrender
Blocked for both sides
Carrier inventory
Equipped pocket item
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The restriction is mutual. The item does not make a fight winnable or save the bearer if the army loses; it is not merely a higher surrender price.
Practical use
Equip for a decisive pursuit when confident of finishing the whole fight. Before starting check composition, mana reserves and the possibility of an unfavorable turn.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Three is the historical entry’s value rather than an independently verified count for every hero and version. The source describes campaign transfer while retained in inventory; a scenario can impose its own rules.
Practical use
Plan the summon as temporary combat support and verify actual count and availability. At mission transition check the transferred hero and preserved inventory.

Economist I · pickups
+20%
Carrier inventory
Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The Kingdom reference gives Economist I twenty percent more gold and resources from pickups. This concerns collecting on the map, not automatically twenty percent more income from every town. One Windswords’ Set piece.
Practical use
Equip before a pickup-rich exploration route. An already learned copy does not establish another identical increase; for exact savings track resources actually credited.

Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Provides physical strength as a Warlord’s Set piece, without granting Magic Power, mana capacity or a separate racial ability through the animal name.
Practical use
Use for a physical composition and track the next Warlord threshold. Against a specialized threat compare offense with another item’s HP or protection.
This item has marked uncertainties. See the rules below.

Neck
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
The wording includes both sides rather than only the enemy. The short entry does not settle repeated accumulation or a minimum; other historical guides differ on sign or recipients. One Greater Lich’s Set piece.
Practical use
Before a morale plan verify actual recipients and the value after another round. An army without ordinary morale faces a different friendly downside than a living composition.

Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Supports morale and magic defense as a Pirate’s Set piece. Despite the naval name it specifies no daily sailing or combat-movement bonus.
Practical use
For a mixed combat composition compare both attributes and the Pirate threshold. For sailing travel alone choose through other items’ actual daily movement.

Requirement after patch 1.7
Ten Might Power no longer required
Carrier inventory
Neck
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Belongs to Trickster’s Set. The older card lists ten Might Power, but the 1.7 changes explicitly remove that requirement. The point reduces reach rather than directly changing Initiative or enemy hero daily travel.
Practical use
Useful for keeping distance from slower contact stacks. Check whether one point actually prevents a hit; flight, teleportation and special abilities can change the plan.
This item has marked uncertainties. See the rules below.

Neck
Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This is conditional combat recovery rather than a higher maximum reserve. Carrying odd costs is not established in the short description. Patch 1.5.2 addresses the mismatch between tooltip and behavior.
Practical use
When the opponent spends forty mana the ratio nominally restores twenty before capacity limits. Against a hero casting no spells this branch produces no mana.

Chest
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Combat movement belongs to creatures; physical defense comes from the hero’s supporting attribute. Does not extend daily adventure travel. One Windswords’ Set piece.
Practical use
One tile can enable initial contact or a safer withdrawal. Before sacrificing another armor’s higher defense check which stacks will actually use the reach.

Requires Might affinity and combines physical defense with physical strength. One Warlord’s Set piece rather than general magic immunity.
Practical use
For a physical plan value both offense and survival. When completing Warlord compare the shared threshold with armor providing greater individual protection.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The magical six applies to Prime rather than all seven schools. Patch 1.5.2 explicitly fixes this armor’s Prime defense. The physical four is a separate contribution.
Practical use
Prepare against known Implosion or other Prime damage. Against other schools compare Dragon Scale Armor’s general Magic Defense.

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
Requires Might and belongs to Guardian’s Set. The short entry does not settle whether the three attacks are counted per stack or by an army-wide counter. This promises neither unlimited immunity nor protection from every spell.
Practical use
Before planning the opening verify the counter in the installed version. Once protection is spent, physical defense and any set threshold remain; plan subsequent hits through ordinary survival.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
The ability reference ties Resilience to repeated physical attacks and subsequent defense and health through combat end. This is not every reputation value permanently added before the first hit. One Pirate’s Set piece.
Practical use
For a defensive stack check whether it survives the hits needed to benefit. Verify the equipment-granted version rather than selecting the highest value from the general table.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Requires Might affinity. Raises two defensive attributes rather than giving five-percent protection or dragon immunity. Its name grants no dragon-creature abilities.
Practical use
Balanced defense against mixed physical and magical pressure. Against one school compare specialized protection; against a purely physical threat compare another armor’s greater Might Defense.

Requires Might. Adds two to each of Heroes VI’s six primary attributes, not Knowledge, movement or automatic access to a particular spell.
Practical use
Compare broad value for a mixed army with specialized protection against a known opponent. Do not total six attributes into one damage number; each has its own application.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
One general magic-defense point and larger reserves are separate contributions. A Greater Lich’s Set piece; does not grant faction Necromancy to an unrelated hero.
Practical use
Early on extra reserves may enable a needed cast. In a developed composition compare the Lich threshold with armor giving stronger direct defense.

Rules, conditions and restrictions
Requires Magic. Daily production is not a free choice of resource, and the reference gives no probability distribution. It does not produce another resource each combat round.
Practical use

Conflicting or unverified rule: See this card’s rules for details.
Rules, conditions and restrictions
This saves mana on casting rather than doubling maximum reserves or daily recovery. Exact rounding of odd costs and combination with other discounts are not documented in the short artifact entry.
Practical use
A base-cost forty spell nominally costs twenty with the half-cost modifier alone. Before several expensive casts compare total savings with another robe; for odd costs use the game’s displayed value.
Equipped pieces remain separate items with individual effects and positions. Each threshold is listed separately; unverified accumulation of repeated values is not presented as a settled complete total.
Four Might Defense and two HP per friendly creature.
For a defensive composition compare individual Leadership and physical-defense sources with health in the threshold table. First-three-attack protection belongs to the Breastplate, whose counter has its own marked uncertainty.
Five Magic Power and five creature Initiative points.
Consider spell strength, sufficient reserves and creature order together. Pieces’ daily recovery is not recovery each round. The complete set needs both the off-hand Codex and Magic robe.
Focuses on mana recovery, magic defense and flat creature HP. Iridescent Pearl has a disputed defensive attribute; repeated threshold values are not combined into a complete total without verification.
Three Legion items, mantle, libram and circlet support development. The short inventory leaves growth scope and bearer-check timing unresolved; verify actual town production.
Individual pieces reduce enemy morale, Luck, Initiative and reach. They affect different quantities and cannot become one universal slowing total. After 1.7 Warping Pendant no longer requires the old ten Might Power.
Khan supplies its own flat damage alongside Might Power; Crag Hack’s Helmet supplies its own Initiative. Centaur Bow handles shooter contact rather than automatically removing every range penalty.
Conflict: Acid Cave lists six Might Defense; the English inventory lists eight.
Hook builds morale through hero attacks up to twelve, Skull Ring adds Terror, and armor grants Resilience. The last threshold conflicts, so no single verified full-defense total is asserted.
Conflict: Acid Cave lists six Magic Power; the English inventory lists eight.
Ring Teleport and reduced enemy healing can support control. Hourglass has its own recipient and recurrence ambiguity. Staff of the Netherworld is a separate main-hand Dynasty weapon rather than a seventh piece.
Two Destiny; friendly melee attacks apply poison during the first three rounds.
4 equipped pieces
Four Might Power; destroying a poisoned stack spreads poison to adjacent stacks.
6 equipped pieces
Five creature Initiative; the first three friendly melee attacks avoid retaliation.
Plan opening contact, poison and possible spread after a kill. Three retaliation-free attacks are not permanent immunity to all retaliation; the short wording does not establish counter scope.
Three Magic Power; Air Magic stun lasts one additional round.
6 equipped pieces
Five creature Initiative; opening Storm Arrows for friendly creatures and Storm Winds for enemies under the inventory.
Combines economy, mana and action order. Separate opening Air effects from the persistent Initiative bonus; before recasting check the actual state already on the target.
This is the historical weapon progression table. Every weapon card above includes five specific effects and its own acquisition route; availability after Conflux shutdown is covered separately in the rules.
How artifacts work in this game
Equipment uses dedicated head, shoulder, gauntlet, back, chest, feet, neck, ring, hand and pocket positions. The off hand also accepts bows and librams. Potions, fragments and quest items are distinguished as backpack contents. Repeated-position counts are not imported from Heroes V.
Six primary attributes: Might Power supports physical strength, Might Defense physical defense, Magic Power applicable magic formulas and Magic Defense magical defense; Leadership supports morale and Destiny Luck. Directly adding one damage or HP per creature is a different quantity from a hero primary attribute.
Initiative determines action order in this game. A flat five means five points rather than five-percent Heroes V ATB. Combat movement sets creature reach; daily movement sets hero adventure travel, with separate naval and land conditions.
Magic Defense is neither a fixed resistance percentage nor automatic control immunity. Fire shields and school cloaks require the corresponding school. An equipment-granted ability has its own targets, cost and cooldown; free casting and maximum reputation strength are not assumed without evidence.
Each of 32 Dynasty weapons has ranks one through five. Historical experience thresholds are zero, 100000, 1000000, 3500000 and 7000000 XP. This is weapon progress rather than five hero levels. An explicitly upgraded active ability is not counted as another independent copy of its previous activation.
Ubisoft lists online and multiplayer shutdown from 25 January 2024. Old Conflux, Altar of Wishes, Uplay-point and Heroes Kingdoms instructions therefore describe historical routes. This guide promises neither every weapon to every profile nor automatic rank five; check the installed version’s actual inventory.
Historical tooltip examples may depend on hero level, Magic Power and reputation. Patch 1.7 explicitly changed Blade of Binding summon scaling and Will of Urgash Firestorm scaling. The old twenty-two Juggernauts or a single damage value is not a universal constant for every build.
Each of eleven sets comprises six specific equipped pieces. Thresholds are listed separately. Accumulation of repeated values across thresholds is not fully established here, so no single settled full total is derived. Pirate and Greater Lich have conflicting final numerical thresholds.
Daily income depends on actual active days; weekly examples use seven full days. Horn of Plenty chooses a random result rather than guaranteeing every resource daily. Golden Egg first waits and only afterward becomes Golden Goose income.
