Iron Man Best Major Artifacts

Sacred Norn Stone of Lethal Will

Since Iron Man doesn't rely mostly on his Heroic abilities, a flat damage boost works best for his playstyle. Don't forget to activate this artifact's damage boost, unlocked after powering it up to +3, when you're against heavy units!

This artifact can be obtained during the To Stand Alone Campaign Mission.

Tactigon

If your gear can inflict any status effects on enemies, you can opt to using Tactigon instead as its gear perks focuses on amplifying damage to enemies with negative buffs.

This artifact can be obtained after completing the Main Campaign Reassemble.
