Artifact Database — Official Source-Backed Records

This database lists every Sephiria artifact whose name, icon and source are confirmed from official TEAM HORAY records. We deliberately exclude any item that we cannot source from a confirmed record, so you can trust that everything here genuinely exists in the game.

What "Source-Backed" Means

Each record below meets all three criteria:

1. Name confirmed — the official English name matches the live game.
2. Icon confirmed — the icon shown is the actual in-game icon.
3. Source confirmed — the item appears in an official TEAM HORAY update post.

Items marked Needs in-game check have a confirmed name/icon but their exact numeric effect has not yet been re-verified in the current build. This keeps our database honest: we never write a number we cannot back up.

All 35 Confirmed Artifacts

Official Tablets

Tablets are the modifiers you place on the inventory grid. Six source-backed tablets are confirmed so far; the full tablet pool (~70 in Sephiria 1.0) is still being documented.

Official Weapon Upgrades

The most significant upgrade records confirmed from official sources. Each weapon offers 50+ upgrades; the ones below have published name/icon evidence.

Grid Placement Rules (Verified Mechanics)

These inventory mechanics are confirmed from official feature descriptions and gameplay:

1. Artifacts have physical shapes — they occupy specific grid cells. Plan your layout before placing.
2. Tablets empower artifacts — position tablets to cover the artifacts you rely on most.
3. Adjacent items combine — the artifact grid rewards careful grouping on the same board.
4. Manage your inventory — collect and arrange Artifacts, and empower them with Tablets, to suit your run.

How to Use This Database

This page is a lookup tool, not a ranking. Use it in one of three ways depending on what you already know:

• You know the item name — scan the icon grid for the exact record, then confirm its role in the category section below before you commit a grid slot to it.
• You know the role you need — start from the category breakdown, then pick a confirmed item that matches your build's element.
• You are planning a run from scratch — read the grid section and your build guide first, then come back here to shortlist items that physically fit your board.

Every entry on this page is a real item with a confirmed name and icon. The database is deliberately smaller than the full game pool, because we only list what we can source. An item being absent here is not evidence that it does not exist.

Artifact Categories at a Glance

The groupings below describe the role an item plays in a run. They are our functional classification, based on confirmed item names and documented roles — not an official in-game tag system. Use them to narrow a shortlist, then verify the item in your own client.

• Defensive / shielding — records whose names and confirmed role point to damage mitigation or protective support. Confirmed examples: Shield Earrings, Shieldmate, Shield Bag and Spiny Shell.
• Elemental — ice — control-leaning items such as Frozen Egg, Frozen Bow, Snow Mountain Long-eared Bat and Eternal Winter, which fit builds that slow or freeze enemies.
• Elemental — lightning — pressure-leaning items such as Electro Chakram and Thunderstorm Tracking Compass.
• Elemental — fire / solar — records such as Crimson Sunset and Flame Herb Root, which pair with fire and solar routes.
• Utility / economy — items that change how a run flows rather than how hard you hit: Chalcedony Key, Devotion Insignia, Hand Mirror, Academy Fountain Pen, Blue Ink Bottle and Multicolored Candy Glass Jar.
• Timing / tempo — records like Glowing Hourglass, Rylie's Pocket Watch and Tuning Fork, whose names point to pacing or timing effects.

Artifact vs Tablet vs Weapon Upgrade

New players often mix these three layers up. They are different systems stacked on top of each other:

• Artifacts are the items you place on the inventory grid. They are the main body of your build.
• Tablets are modifiers placed on the same board. They empower and reshape the artifacts they cover.
• Weapon upgrades belong to a weapon route. They change how a specific weapon branch behaves, not how your board is laid out.

A finished build is all three together: the weapon route sets your damage profile, artifacts fill the board, and tablets decide which of those artifacts actually pay off.

Using the Database with the Inventory Grid

The database tells you what exists; the grid decides what fits. Before you commit to an item, check two things:

1. Shape and footprint — artifacts occupy physical cells. A strong item that does not fit your remaining space is not a real option.
2. Tablet coverage — an artifact is only worth a slot if you can cover it with a tablet that supports your route. Otherwise it is just inventory weight.

This is why our Inventory Grid System guide and Tablet Placement guide are meant to be read alongside this page, not after it.

Matching Artifacts to Your Build

Different builds want different things from the same pool:

• Staff / elemental routes — lean toward records that share your main element so tablet coverage compounds instead of scattering.
• Solo runs — survivability matters more, because there is no ally to cover a bad pull or a mistimed dodge.
• Co-op groups — split the roles. One player holding defensive records lets the rest commit fully to damage.
• Glass cannon — take the highest-pressure offensive items only if your dodge timing is already reliable.

Full routes for each style are on our Staff Build, Solo Build, Co-op Build and Glass Cannon Build pages.

Why Some Records Are Marked Pending

Sephiria receives balance changes between patches, and tooltip values can shift with them. Instead of publishing a number that may be wrong within a month, we separate two different claims:

• Confirmed — the item exists, its English name is correct, its icon is the real in-game icon, and it appears in an official TEAM HORAY record.
• Pending — the exact numeric effect has not yet been re-checked in the current build.

When a record moves from pending to confirmed, it is updated here. If a patch changes something we previously listed, we correct it rather than quietly leaving a stale number in place.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the complete artifact list?

No. It is the complete list of records we can source right now. The in-game pool is larger, and we add entries as official evidence appears.

Why do some entries have no effect description?

Because the numeric effect has not yet been verified in the live build. We would rather leave that field clearly marked than fill it with a guess.

Can I use this page to decide what to keep mid-run?

Yes, as a shortlist aid. Confirm the item's category, check whether it fits your remaining grid space, then decide. The final call depends on your current board, not on the database alone.

How often is the database updated?

Whenever a new official record appears or a live check finishes. Entries still marked pending are updated as verification completes.

Do artifacts differ between normal and Hard Mode runs?

The pool is the same, but Hard Mode modifiers change which items actually carry a stage. Our Hard Mode artifact guide covers that side in detail.

Where are tablets and weapon upgrades covered in more depth?

Both have their own sections above. Deeper write-ups are on the Tablet Placement and Weapon Upgrades pages.
