Artifacts (神器;pinyin: shén qì) are items that were first featured in the 2.7.0 update of the Chinese version of Plants vs. Zombies 2.
Usage of artifacts
After the player obtains the first artifact, the "select artifact" button will be added to the plant selection interface, and the player can select the artifact that will be used in the level. For levels such as conveyor-belt levels where the player does not select plants, it is alternatively possible to equip artifacts from the "Artifact Cultivation" page.
During the game, a new artifact skill icon will appear next to the Tactical Cuke button, and the total number of times the artifact can be used and the remaining number of times it was used in the current game will be displayed. Clicking on the artifact button will trigger the artifact's active skills.
The third lawn mower in the level will also be replaced with the artifact device, and above the device is the artifact that was brought to the current level. After the third lawn mower is replaced with an artifact, it will usually be hidden when a zombie approaches. The lawn mower will still work as usual.
If the player did not bring an artifact, the artifact icon will not appear in the level.
Upgrading artifacts
Each artifact has 30 standard levels and 4 breakthrough levels, and can be upgraded or advanced by using training materials and breakthrough materials, both aquired through the Memory Lane shop, Penny's Pursuit or occasionally from other events.
The initial limit of the artifact's level is 10, and every 10th level needs breakthrough materials to advance further. After the breakthrough is completed, the upper limit of the artifact will be increased.
The artifact initially has 1 set of active skills, which can be used by tapping the artifact button; as the breakthrough level of the artifact increases, each breakthrough will unlock a new passive skill (the artifact’s passive skills are always the same and not randomized. Each artifact has at most three passive skills). The increase in level will increase the strength of active and passive skills, and increase the value of the skills.
Passive skills do not need to be clicked to trigger. After carrying the corresponding artifact to a level, it will take effect. If the trigger conditions of passive skills are reached in the stage, the passive effect will be automatically triggered.
Restrictions on the use of artifacts
The active skill of each artifact has a limit of in-game uses. With each breakthrough of the artifact, additional uses may be obtained (depending on the settings of each artifact). The limit of the active skill's uses is specific during each stage. After restarting or changing the level, the number of uses will be recalculated.
The active skill of the artifact has a cooldown time. After use, it will enter a cooldown countdown, and it will be able to be used again after the cooldown is over.
In the Endless Challenge the limit of uses of the artifact takes effect the whole time, and the limit of uses will not be recharged as the level progresses after use. Artifacts cannot be used in PvP Mode, Vasebreaker, certain Brain Busters, Arena and Sky City.
Artifact Obtaining
Players can obtain artifacts through several ways and methods:
- Purchasing bundles in-game with real-life currency which consist of loot and artifacts.
- Participating in in-game events, either paid or not, that have the potential of consisting an artifact in the prizes.
- Purchasing them in Memory Lane shop with Rainbow Snail Coins, which can be collected by beating the Hard Mode levels of the mode.

Artifact Blessing
Artifact Blessing is a system similar to Plant Family, in which the player rolls out for random boosts that will improve their artifacts. Artifact Blessing Coupons are the required currency to roll for a boost, and the boosts have rarities, that is common, rare, epic, and legendary.
Ordinary coupons have a chance of rolling 54% for common boosts, 30% for rare boosts, 15% for epic boosts, and 1% for legendary boosts. Advanced coupons on the other hand have a chance of rolling 17% for common boosts, 50% for rare boosts, 30% for epic boosts, and 3% for legendary boosts.

Trivia
- Some artifacts after unlocking their 2nd tiers will not be able to buff specific plants due to coding inconsistencies:
- The Kamikaze Artifact can't buff Sumo Melon, as Sumo Melon is internally referred to as whitemelon and the code refers to it as whitemelonsumowrestlers.
- This, however, is not the case in the iOS version of the game and it will buff it as intended.
- The Lightning Artifact can't buff Electric Peashooter, as they misspelt electricpeashooter as electricpeashoote.
- The Vase-pult Artifact can't buff Blooming Heart, as they referred to it as bloomingheart instead of bloominghearts.
- Some artifacts might not buff plants that fallen under those specific categories due to the list of the plants that can be buffed being outdated and no longer updated. For instance, Evolver Artifact not being able to buff Nightcap despite costing 325 sun (above 300).
- The Kamikaze Artifact can't buff Sumo Melon, as Sumo Melon is internally referred to as whitemelon and the code refers to it as whitemelonsumowrestlers.
- All artifacts share the same base in their designs, except for the Prism Tower Artifact, Dragon Lantern Artifact, and Trident Artifact. Prism Tower uses a green coil base; Dragon Lantern uses an eastern drum as the base; Trident uses an atlantic treasure chest as the base.
- Before the 3.1.1 update, the Snowgun Artifact was able to blow away Zombot Aerostatic Gondola.
- The Silver Key Artifact originally had a different design, the core eye of the key being less intense and more transparent, as well less saturation on its colour palette.
- The Believer Gargantuar was also originally going to be a copy of Abyss Devil's Claw's Disciple Gargantuar, however it received its own unique design in the final release.
- The Gourd Artifact heavily references the movie Journey to the West, from its abilities, origins, appearance to even the description.
