Episode 38: Wonderverse - Artifacts
/
Three new Artifacts are on the way when Episode 38: Wonderverse launches this August and are on the DCUO Test Server available for testing from John Constantine right now!
Artifacts and especially their specific values are subject to change. Below are descriptions provided by Batuba!
Purple Healing Ray
Smithed by Io, wielded by Epione, and improved by Carrisa, this standard Amazonian medical tool has been shared with you by special dispensation.
Breakthrough Abilities

Purple Light
Healing charges your Purple Healing Ray up to 5 times your total Restoration with Purple Light. Once charged, your next [Priority Heal] or [Group Heal] gain new benefits and expends all Purple Light.
Epione's Grace [Priority Heal]
You and your heal target gain a shield equal to 2 times your Restoration, which absorbs 10% of incoming damage for 8 seconds.
Clarissa's Revitalization [Group Heal]
Places a heal over time on you and your allies for 8 seconds.
Rank 120:

Rank 160:
Epione's Grace [Priority Heal]
Absorbs 20% of incoming damage for 8 seconds.
Clarissa's Revitalization [Group Heal]
Increase heal over time value by 25%

Recommendations
Not known for its clever name, but instead for its incredible healing capacity. This artifact creates small decisive moments when you either choose to place healing over time on yourself and your party members OR 20% damage mitigation on yourself and the player with lowest health.
Recommended Artifact Pairings:
Orb of Arion
Page of Destiny
Transformation Card
Strategist Card
Lernaea's Amulet
A whale song only the mad can hear, The Call of Dagon lures most to a watery grave. But if you can withstand the crushing depths, sea-goddess Lernaea's amulet is yours.
Breakthrough Abilities
Rank 80:
Lernaea's Price
When you use a superpower, take its powercost in damage and gain a stack of Offering, increasing your might by 2% per stack up to 5 stacks. Each additional stack increases the damage you take per cast. Casting a [Finisher] resets your Offering stacks and heals you for 50% of the damage it deals.
Rank 120:
Casting a [Finisher] resets your Offering stacks and heals you for 100% of the damage it deals.
Rank 160:
Offering max stack count increased to 10.
Rank 200:
Each stack of Offering increases might by 3%.
Recommendations
This artifact is all about "Risk vs Reward" as you take increasing amounts of damage from continued casting of superpowers. Consider your ability to survive enemy attacks and be sure to heal yourself up by using a [Finisher]. Be kind to your healers and make the most of living on the edge!

Lasso of Truth
Forged by Hephaestus and empowered by Hestia, the lasso can neither be broken nor resisted when one is compelled to tell the truth.
Breakthrough Abilities
Rank 80:
Inescapable Truth
Mesmerizing Lasso iconic ability no longer pulls target towards you, instead tethers and hard taunts (Tank Role) your target to you.
Tethered non-boss target will be stunned and dragged towards you for 5 seconds. Additionally, Lasso of Truth will constantly seek out up to 2 additional non-boss targets and drag them towards your tethered target.
Stun duration increased to 5 seconds on primary target.
Rank 120:
While tethered to an enemy, heal for 0.5% of all damage it receives.
Rank 160:
Lasso of Truth will constantly seek out up to 7 additional non-boss targets and drag them towards your tethered target.
Rank 200:
While tethered to an enemy, heal for 1% of all damage it receives.
Recommendations:
This artifact is truly "wonderful" for controlling the battle field as either a Controller or a Tank. Tanks have the added benefit of Inescapable Truth taunting affected targets.
