Relic Method

Last checked May 26, 2026

Match relics to the unit's job

Relics are not just flat power. A carry wants damage and cooldown, a DoT unit wants uptime or proc value, a support wants range or cooldown, and a farm unit should not steal premium carry pieces.

  • Carry DPS: damage, cooldown, crit, and boss pressure.
  • DoT / proc units: uptime, attack speed, and effect consistency.
  • Support: range and cooldown usually beat raw damage.
  • Farm: use economy-specific relics or spare pieces.

Verification note: current relic set context was checked against the May 2026 Pro Game Guides relic set guide, which lists current UTDX relic sets and set bonuses.

Sub-stat Priority

Quick Rules
1
Do not judge relics by rarity alone
  • Main DPS: damage, cooldown, crit, and range if placement is restrictive.
  • DoT units: attack speed, cooldown, duration/proc consistency where applicable.
  • Support: cooldown and range before damage.
  • Farm: economy value first; damage stats are usually wasted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do I farm relics?
Virtual Realm is the main relic-focused mode, so prioritize teams that can clear it consistently.
Should every unit use the same relic set?
No. Match the set to the unit's job. Support and farm units often want different stats from carries.
Are older relic sets useless?
No. They are often good progression pieces until you farm stronger UPD 3.25 options.
