Artifact is a buff that will negate the next debuff on that unit.
Each stack of Artifact can block 1 application of: Weak, Vulnerable, Poison, Frail, Strength Loss, etc.
- Bouncing Flask will remove 1 Artifact with each bounce.
- Envenom will remove 1 Artifact with each unblocked Attack.
- Shockwave will remove up to 2 Artifacts from each enemy.
Effects that apply multiple debuffs will do so in the order listed on the card. For instance, if an enemy has 1 Artifact and is hit by Shockwave, they will end up Vulnerable but not Weak.
The player can gain Artifact using Panacea (a Colorless card), Core Surge, or an Ancient Potion. Clockwork Souvenir lets the player begin the fight with one artifact.
Enemy Interactions 
Edit
- Note that all cards that inflict ongoing effects on enemies work via their own special debuff even if it's not specifically identified on the card; these will still be blocked by Artifact. For instance, the ongoing effects of Corpse Explosionor Chokecan be blocked by Artifact.
Player Interactions Edit
- Flex's strength loss at the end of turn is negated by Artifact, granting a net strength gain.
- Wraith Form's and Biased Cognition's debuffs can be negated by artifact before you played mentioned cards. If the artifact is played after the debuff is received, it will negate 1 tick of their respective effects.
