Are Sephiria artifacts the same as Miracles?
No. Artifacts are run inventory pieces on the grid; Miracles come from Tree Roots / meta picks. See Miracles.

What are Sephiria artifacts?
Sephiria artifacts are the inventory pieces that carry stats, elemental lean, companions, economy, and quirks. They are not Miracles and not Anvil weapon upgrades — they live on the grid and scale with level.
| Piece | Job | Not the same as |
|---|---|---|
| Artifact | Defines run fantasy on the grid | Miracle (Tree Roots meta / run pick) |
| Tablet | Levels / empowers adjacent Artifacts | Weapon Anvil evolution |
| Enchantment | Raises Artifact level at an altar node | Shop Leaf spend |
| Companion Artifact | Summons / aggro / pet scaling | Costume passive alone |
Why placement is the USP
Steam calls out arranging Artifacts and empowering them with Tablets. Collecting alone is storage; seating with open sides for Tablets is the build. Treat the inventory like a second combat system.
Shapes and constraints
Many pieces have physical shapes and placement constraints (row locks, rotation limits, “top row only,” etc.). Preview before locking — dumping into the first empty square creates dead adjacency.
Once you know what an Artifact is, the next skill is seating it so Tablets can do their job.
How do I place Artifacts on the grid?
Place the piece you care about first. Every Tablet that touches empty air is wasted power — adjacency beats rarity.
| Situation | Place | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Fresh primary drop | Center / edge with open sides | Corner with no Tablet reach |
| Companion / planet piece | Keep surround free for its kit | Burying under fillers early |
| Position-sensitive piece | Match the side / row the tooltip names | Ignoring Scale-style side effects |
| Board cramped | Inventory-slot node or rearrange | Jar gambling for “space” |
| Filler economy piece | After primary adjacency is locked | Stealing Tablet sides from the spine |
- Do01Open inventory after every Artifact or Tablet pickup
- Do02Seat the primary Artifact with maximum free orthogonal sides
- Do03Preview level changes before confirming a rearrange
- Do04Park awkward shapes in the side bag until the primary is locked
- Do05Expand inventory slots when good pieces are waiting — not before you have a primary
- Do06Draft layouts on the inventory planner if you want a sandbox
Side bag and Journal
Use the side bag for awkward shapes that would break a working board. Journal tracks discovered Artifacts so next-run recognition is faster — pause after bosses and skim new entries.
Levels and rarity decide how hard you invest Enchantment — that is next.

How do rarity, levels, and Enchantment work?
Rarity is the drop band; level is the real power slider. Enchantment altars and Tablet adjacency raise levels — do not Enchant every Common equally.
| Layer | What it means | Player action |
|---|---|---|
| Common / Advanced | Easy to find; fine as Tablet hosts | Seat well; Enchant only if it is the spine |
| Rare / Legendary | Stronger baselines; still need adjacency | Protect sides; Enchant before fillers |
| Artifact level | Scales the tooltip numbers | Tablets first, Enchantment on the primary |
| Enchantment node | Altar raise for one Artifact | Spend on the piece carrying the fantasy |
| Preview | Inspect level curves before locking | Never guess mid-combat |
Enchantment discipline
Enchantment is a node choice, not free power. Upgrade the Artifact that already has Tablets touching it. Spreading +1 across six fillers leaves every piece mediocre into Chapter bosses.
Level floor warning
Some Tablets apply level-down edges. Artifacts pushed to level −1 or below go inert — park penalties on empty tiles, other Tablets, or inventory edges. Full geometry lives on Tablets.
Tags decide which Artifacts belong on the same board — next section.
How do combo tags and synergies work?
Focused tags beat a museum of strong-but-unrelated Legendaries. Build around Lightning, Frost, Flame / Grimoire, companions, shield sustain, or economy — then refuse off-tag glitter.
| Lean | What to cluster | Weapon fit |
|---|---|---|
| Lightning / Storm | Lightning Stone · storm-cloud style pieces | Sword & Shield · Staff conductor lines |
| Frost / Freeze | Frost relics · freeze appliers · CD tools | Crossbow kite · Cold Anvil grafts |
| Flame / Grimoire | Fire aura · Solar / Sun Sword style · MP recover | Staff · Flame costumes |
| Companion | Handbell / planet / summon pieces · Amethyst-style scalers | Greatsword clears while pets work |
| Shield sustain | Defense / thorns / on-block toys | Sword & Shield bash lines |
| Economy | Leaf / Barter / Luck pieces | Only after potions exist |
When do I take Jar, Combiner, or Enchantment?
Mid-run inventory nodes decide whether the board stays online. Use this table instead of greed-by-default.
| Node / tool | Take when… | Skip when… |
|---|---|---|
| Artifact node | Primary still missing or tag piece drops | Board full of untagged fillers |
| Enchantment | Primary already has Tablet sides locked | You would Enchant a dead-tile Common |
| Tablet node | Primary has empty sides | Mysterious Jar looks shinier |
| Mysterious Jar | Board stable; you can afford same-tier gambles | Early chapters — slots > RNG |
| Slab Combiner | Two mid Tablets merge into a cleaner shape | Layout still rearranging every room |
| Inventory slot | Good pieces waiting off-grid | You still lack a primary Artifact |
Shop and Leaves
Buy potions before shopping novelty Artifacts. Economy Artifacts are build pieces only after you stop dying to empty belts.
Named roster next — know the community landmarks even when icons are missing.
Which named Artifacts should I know?
Community wiki / guide names (Miraheze · Steam guides · placement writeups). Icons upload when reliable renders exist — until then, use lean + note columns.
| Artifact | Lean | Beginner note |
|---|---|---|
| Charm of Strength | Physical damage | Simple spine piece — protect Tablet sides |
| Azure Pearl | Wiki landmark piece | Treat as named drop; read tooltip before seating |
| Lightning Stone | Lightning / Storm boards | Cluster with other storm pieces |
| Heart-Shaped Carrot | Novelty / sustain flavor | Fine filler after primary adjacency |
| Neutralizer Noir | Wiki catalog name | Confirm effect in Journal before forcing tags |
| Scale of Conflict | Position-sensitive elemental | Side / edge placement can change bonus |
| Golden Handbell | Companion / summon boards | Keep surround free for pet kits |
| Mini Ballista | Projectile / poke toys | Pairs with ranged spines |
| Explosion Proof Vest | Defense / hazard lean | Take when telegraphs punish greed |
| Warm Stone | Elemental / utility | Match to Flame or heat tags if present |
Which Artifact mistakes softlock a run?
Most failed boards die to process errors, not because the wrong Legendary dropped.
- Avoid01Parking a Legendary with zero Tablet neighbors
- Avoid02Enchanting every Common before the primary
- Avoid03Jar / Combiner before Chapter 1 potions exist
- Avoid04Burying companion Artifacts under fillers
- Avoid05Ignoring placement constraints until combat starts
- Avoid06Collecting off-tag Legendaries that steal Tablet sides
Co-op note
Trade Artifacts so one player finishes a tag board instead of splitting three half-boards. Details on co-op guide.

FAQ
Do Artifacts work without Tablets?
Yes at base level — but Tablets and Enchantment are how strong pieces reach their ceiling. Empty adjacency wastes drops.
What rarities exist?
Community wiki lists Common, Advanced, Rare, and Legendary for Artifacts. Eternal-tier mentions show up more often on Tablets.
Should I always take Mysterious Jar?
No. Skip early — you need slots and a primary more than same-tier gambles.
Where do I plan layouts?
Use the inventory planner placeholder, then validate in a live run.
How do Artifacts fit builds?
Templates on builds — weapon spine plus Artifact + Tablet job.
