I never found much use in the Pendant of Free Will. By the time a hero's spell power is high enough to use hypno, any opponent has huge stacks that can't be hypno'd, and you would have way better spells to cast then hypno.

Hmm ... the worst artifacts are :
Talisman of Mana when you don't have a spell book !
The + Necromancy skills artifacts are pretty useless even if you are a necromancer ...
and let's not forget the eagle eye skill ... which only archers use ...

What about those artifacts that give +1 duration of a spell. Those are only useful the first few days.

Pendant of Life is useless too. IF the enemy decides to cast Death Ripple, it only does about 30 points of Damage.

this is good to have if you have a necro with the death ripple spell and some living in your army the death ripple begin at 20 damge but can go up with power and sorcery and earth magic . the only 4 level spell i saw the AI using are TP and chain of lightning so the neclase that protect againts berserk is usless . eagles eyes can help on begining if you dont have blind or haste
every articraft can help sometime the ilusion that enemy dont have it ( many time one articraft was in more then one example )

Id say the worst artifacts are:
Sea captains hat
Endless sack of gold
Thunder helmet
Because when youre doing a tope and get those, you are likely to lose the game. No other artifacts are likely to cost you the entire game, but these three..

i'd like to add the sea necklace and the dead man's boots to this, especially for templates where there are few to no relics. Getting that, while your opponent gets sword of hellfire or medallion of courage really makes the game nasty to play .

But I think is NOT!! I don't care what you mean noobie stuff. but I NEVER use an artifact that makes my hero worse than generally.
Everytime I get those two artifacts, I just put them in my backpack. Coz I don't want to negate my morale and luck in battle.

You really should listen to guys who have much more experience playing that game than u have. You wonīt find any low level artefact which is as much usefull as the Spirit of Opression.
Why? Let me explain a bit:
Letīs say u have the choice fighting either dendroid soldiers or diamond golems. Your army exists of shooters (lets say archers), pikemen and some griffins. Which would u prefer to fight and why? I can tell you, what most of the (experienced) players would do. They fight the golems...why?....because the golems will never get moral, so u can exactly fortell where they will walk on the battlefield and "arrange" them the way you want. This is much more difficult to do with the dendroids. If 2 stacks get moral, they could probably corner your archers / pikemen, and then the fight will be lost. If u have the Spirit of Opression equipped, these dendroids "turn into golems", coz they will never get moral. So u can win that fight much easier. The "disadvantage" for your troops, never getting a second move in a turn coz of good moral is nothing compared to the advantage of perfect prediction about the movement of the enemy units.
Just make a map in the editor and arrange a battle, where your hero has an ammocart, 20 archers, 30 pikemen and 3 griffins. Now fight against 150 dwarves on grass. One time with SoO equipped, the other time without. Then compare your losses.
Keep us informed about the results

1) Has to be the bird of perception. (100% useless)
2) Hourglass of Evil Hour is quite useless.
3) Some stupid pendant that gives you some useless immunity and takes up a useful artifact slot.
Amulet of the undertaker and the other Necro arties kick ass (if you are a necro).
I am always happy to get the +1 spell duration arties, those are extremely useful in an early game where your hero has spellpower 1 or 2. Even later on an extra 2-3 turns of mass slow will often save your life.
Well, I won't even mention the spirit of oppression - very often that one is a game winner. If you get it on your starting hero, consider 1/2 the job done.

The most useless art has got to be the angelic alliance!!
I mean you take five of the greatest artifacts in the game and make them into one!? One stinky art that allowes rampart, tower, fortress, castle and stronghold to be mixed without bad morale?!!?
Talk about useless now sheeesh...

Yeah, except when your not a necromancer and you get the Vampires Cowl. Other than that, I'd have to agree.
It's petty good to get the Vampires Cowl as a Death knigth too!

If you know that there is a possibility of having to surrender, you just don't equip it. Duh.
It's for keeping the opponent hero from running away. Shackles is far from worst.
As for angelic alliance, I know it was a joke, but hey, you DO keep the bonuses from the individual artifacts!
