It depends where you are in terms of superascensions. There are written documents that list artifacts.

A$B (army cache boost) is one of the best artifacts, especially when it's insane. Free armies -> faster levels. Get it to Leg and you'll appreciate it.
ACM (army camp boost) is very helpful for early levels, as well as getting to a market. Not as useful for later levels.

You have insane AV, which isn't really needed beyond Leg, but it helps.

SAC & TW are helpful, even if only for battles.

MD is of high use.

HB is good enough at rare to be honest.

TS is useful on a few levels, but is usually fodder for upgrades. Mine Discount and Item Values are of negligible use.

If you've superascended a few times, RCB is also useful. Combine it with your AV and you get a lot of money early on in levels. Once you have plenty of slots, MCB, DB, OV are all useful.

Legendary av, sorry thought error. Edited post.

Have been looking forward to make second legendary, but i guess I need one more epic cause I want to keep triple strike.

I think I prob go with sac since its been favorite from start. Use to try to pick lot of caches while using it, but I think it changed and isnt worth the trouble anymore. Like u get only 1 big cache after mercenaries, and high armies /sec doesnt give u big caches anymore.

That or tw.

Have to look at A$B more. I hear everyone saying how good it is. Maybe I start looking how much I get total in caches and then I can count how much it gives.

Thanks for answer!

The total armies gained through A$B is a non-trivial benefit, that's that many fewer drafts you need or that much less AM you need to complete a level. All sources of instant troops are welcome.

However, the much bigger impact of a good A$B is that it allows you to effectively cache surf to the first market. Most army caches return about the same number of armies they take to conquer. So, an army cache that takes 1B to capture and returns 1B is a net 0, but with +32% (L) or +64% (I), all of the sudden you're getting a bonus 320M or 640M armies. That makes the army caches actually very impactful, and can easily shave minutes to hours off of your time to first market with a proper cache surf (and without needing a SAC). In general, good cache surfs are available on every level from FL through EH. Lousy or no cache surf available is one of the reasons why the early terrible levels are terrible.

Also, you mention SAC together with caches. SAC does not impact the size of caches you find on the map. SAC does impact the size of FC power rewards (and the arti, but it's junk, don't waste a slot on it). SAC also does impact the maximum size of your drafts, which can be important if you're stuck drafting out to finish a level, drafts are not caches though, and this only means you drain the sliding pool faster, it doesn't give you any meaningful amount of extra troops.
