Combination Artifacts
Armageddon's Blade: Relic → Combination class
- Requires Hellstorm Helmet, Breastplate of Brimstone, Sword of Hellfire, and Shield of the Damned
- Pick-up texts changed for all aforementioned artifacts
- Armageddon's Blade ought to be an interesting alternative to other combination artifacts. It is more difficult to assemble than Ironfist of the Ogre, but provides less of a bonus (since Armageddon's damage is based on hero's Spell Power and costs a decent amount of mana, while permanent Haste is useful for almost any army). It is easier to assemble than Titan's Thunder; in return, it's total stat bonus is twice lower (6/6/5/5 vs 12/12/10/10), and its signature spell, while hitting more than one target, costs mana, unlike the Titan's Thunder; the damage dealt from the spells is about 50% of that of the Titan's Thunder, especially on heroes with high Power skill or Sorcery, but it affects all enemies.
Ring of the Magi: Combination → Major class; Effect +50 spell duration → -2 Spell cost; Cost 3,000 → 5,000 . The pieces state directly that they are no longer a part of a set.
Power of the Dragon Father: Level 1–4 spell immunity → 1–5 spell immunity
- +6 to all stats → +10 to all stats.
- For how difficult it is to assemble Power of the Dragon Father seems weaker than Angelic Alliance. Considering that the only beneficial T5 spell is Magic Mirror, it should make the artifact more lucrative to try to assemble.
Titan's Thunder: Primary skill bonuses +9/9/8/8 → +12/12/10/10; Titan's Lightning Bolt damage 600 + 0 x SP -> 0 + 60 x SP
- Scaling with Spell Power means that the artifact is useful for the main hero as well as the "rats". The increased stat bonus should make this preferable than just using a piece or two of the Angelic Alliance instead.
Angelic Alliance: Prayer 10 rounds → 3 rounds
Cloak of the Undead King: Resurrects Walking Dead/Wights/Liches → Skeletons/Walking Dead/Wraiths
- Finally the artifact can be unbanned without risk of completely breaking the game!

Legs of Legion: Effect +5 Growth/week → +6 Growth/week; Cost 5,000 → 4,000
- All of these artifacts were considered fairly weak.
Ring of Vitality: Treasure → Minor class
Ring of Life: Minor → Major class; Effect +1 Health → +2 Health; Cost 5,000 → 10,000
- This change is meant to make the Elixir of Life slightly more difficult to assemble, because of how powerful it's component effect is.
