Relic
4.1
(28)
"If you buy Cait, buy Fiddle too. She wants both relics and is actually much stronger with them."
"If you are just starting to collect for her- go for the FOREST RELIC or the SEA RELIC, otherwise choose what stats she needs more of."
"I'm going with found fortune, spectral scissors and condenser and it's a blast"
"I beat Liss with 3* ahri using essence theft, echoing spirit, and fear cleaving axe."
"I defeated Swain along with Beast Within and Signature Relic."
"Tiny house has no downsides and is a boss relic (super strong relic!!!) so probably that one."
"Chosen By The Stars/Berserker's Buckle(Blood Hunt can ping your units!)"
"Big Guns/Luden's Tempest(2 damage means you can damage tough units)"
"Chosen By The Stars/Berserker's Buckle(Blood Hunt can ping your units!)"
"Archangel's Staff"

Genshin
4.5
(20)
"Genshin feels the best imo."
"Genshin is probably the best."
"Genshin > ZZZ >>> HSR"
"Genshin still the only one with the off piece buff and iirc, the cheapest way to transform trash into maybe something useful."
"Between ZZZ and Genshin it's a lot closer, but i think Genshin might actually have this one for 2 reasons: 1) off set piece."
"From my experience, Genshin has the best system there are 3 good domains you can always farm and are very much needed for meta characters."
"The off piece in genshin makes it the best."
"I agree with most off piece is making it so easier. So Genshin."
"Genshin since even when I farm in super niche domains, I can use the good pieces as off pieces for other characters."
"Genshin and it’s not even close, fill pieces often fix entire build."
#3
ZZZ
4.3
(14)
"ZZZ has the best relic system to work with - having already 3 main stats as guaranteed."
"ZZZ tops Genshin (and obviously HSR) with the music store and the monthly tuner."
"I think ZZZ and Genshin are about even, Genshin only has 5 pieces instead of 6."
"ZZZ that's for sure , much easier for me."
"Zzz by a mile. Mostly because it's actually flexible enough to run 3 2pc sets."
"You can craft 3 out of 4 pieces needed for a set directly and only need to watch out for subs."
"Zzz > Genshin >> HSR"
"Currently probably ZZZ imo, since the substats value is the same when you get an increase."
"ZZZ has the best. You can have three set bonus on your character, 3 fix main stat, no random stat range, only 5 element."
"Zzz = genshin > hsr."
#4
relic
4.2
(10)
"His best set is probably still 'Hunter of Glacial Forest', the 25% CD buff applies to his ult."
"If you have any followup attackers, I highly recommend farming that domain."
"Ironclad - [[Red Skull]], Silent - [[Incense Burner]], Defect - [[Clockwork Souvenir]], Watcher - [[Ornamental Fan]]."
"If you have a 6/7 star hulk, then save the hulk relic for him."
"Whichever 6 star you got, I use spiderman 2099. Hulk is good as well I believe."
"I think it's smart to start farming follow up domain so you can keep your good wild wheat pieces."
"For Silent, I'd go with Letter Opener. It's a sharp pointy thing and it triggers off of playing Skills."
"Defect: Clockwork Souvenir. Part of a robot/machine, helps prevent it breaking down."
"Ironclad - meat on the bone. Still gives healing, but promotes face-tanking."
"I like the cap relic to give her better block but that’s just me."
#5
Contingency Core
5.0
(6)
"Contingency core is utterly busted, but if you have it the games usually pretty much over."
"Contingency Core is by far the best relic."
"Contingency Core Relic is just by far the best for late game."
"Contingency core especially if they spawned first."
"It’s apparently contingency core, simply because it can allow you to have second megastructure of the type."
"Contingency core for non-virtual machines or synths is god tier, can’t think of anything else even coming close."
#6
Viktor
4.8
(5)
"Viktor's relic because it is so good on multiple champs. Any champs that have the targetting ally gives barrier 4* suddenly get an instant speed damage protection"
"Victor's relic is really good, but even relics like shock and awe is amazing especially for this week's nightmare"
"Victors just touches so many gameplay mechanics that it's hard to beat, target, keyword, created etc. not to mention it's burst barrier every turn on anyone with phalanx"
"Viktor enables so many champs and at burst speed... And a surprise keyword could suddenly save you."
"Both are good choices. I think Viktor is stronger though since with Warwick, it really just makes his power scale faster."
#7
Vi
4.2
(5)
"At 10 power, you summon Vi and deal impact damage from Stalker's blade."
"I personally really enjoy strength of stone, starforged and luminous."
"Wouldn’t say best but it’s quite good."
"Vis relic is fun on all Champions that can easily reach 10 power."
"Vi relic is really good with big stats like voli."
#8
Fiddle
4.0
(5)
"Oath of the Guardians epic relic and 2 Star gems is the most fun IMO and I believe the best choice for most challenges."
"Galeforce, Echoing and Spellweavers is the best I've felt, if you want to win through mushrooms."
"I’m going Fiddle Relic, Echoing Spirit, Galeforce. Not sure if it’s the absolute best min/max build, but definitely strong."
"For normal play you can go: Oath, 2x Star Gem. Teemo is a 1 cost drop and you can just go with the strategy of getting a bunch of strong units on the field."
"I like using guardian spirit and spellshield to make sure he doesn't die and guardian orb for memes."
#9
Surveyor
5.0
(4)
"The only relic I'm happy to get/if I see it I'm like 'I HAVE to get that' is 'The Surveyor'."
"I have the Surveyor on cooldown more often than not. Free extra resource deposits for a measly 500 energy activation cost?"
"I would personally say that the surveyor is probably the best."
"Surveyor is probably the best overall relic."
#10
Scholar
4.8
(4)
"Most likely the Scholar Lost in Erudition as the bulk of his damage comes from his enhanced skills."
"Scholar is probably number 1 with Longevous behind it."
"Scholar Lost in Erudition is definitely going to be her best relic set."
"Scholar Lost in Erudition (a set in the newest relic domain as of this reply) is his new best-in-slot currently."
#11
Echoing Spirit
4.5
(4)
"Echoing Spirit if you have it"
"I'm a fan of echoing spirit, to get those cheap recalls rolling."
"Echoing spirit and grand general's counterplan."
"Echoing Spirit, Ludens, Ludens."
#12

"I use secret technique, csf and then 3rd is flex."
"- Secret Technique is her best relic."
#13
Kizuna
5.0
(3)
"Kizuna and cocytus ,they’re both used often in pve shit for scores or faster runs"
"Kizuna 100% but other one id say look up teams that you can do with who u have and decide from there which one wpuld be better for you"
"Cocytus and Kizuna, after that I would say Shalltear"
#14
Hidden Tome
4.3
(3)
"Yes, Secret Technique is incredibly good."
"For most runs I prefer Hidden Tome to Black Shield."
"Hidden Tome, Redoubled Valor, Chosen by the Stars."

"Packed powder, Swain relic and MF relic, then enjoy FTK."
#17
Cease and Desist
4.0
(3)
"If you want something actually impactful, I think Cease and Desist is the choice. Giving your champion a free attack with barrier is strong alone"
"Cease and Desist has been really good on her for me."
"I use cease and desist on her, and when she strike a full board, she also deal impact damage."
#18
Scarlet Witch
4.0
(3)
"Scarlet witch power ability rate."
"Scarlet Witch for the power steal."

Beast Within
4.0
(3)
"Beast within due to it giving deck wide overwhelm for highly ramping units"

Nasus
4.5
(2)
"I have to say the signature Nasus relic. Its really good on titanic and recall mechanic champs. For example, Ahri, Aurelion Sol, Vollibear."
