Updated:
22 Oct 2023

Relics in Honkai: Star Rail function as your equipment. Each character can equip two types of relic sets: Cavern Relics and Planar Ornaments. With twenty-four different sets currently available in the game, trying to find the optimal build for your favorite character can feel like an overwhelming challenge. Fret not — in this article, we take a look at each character and the best relic set for their kit.

 

Arlan - 4 Star - Lightning - Destruction

Body Image
Last on tier lists, first in our hearts.

Starting at the bottom of the list (I'm so sorry Arlan), we take a look at Arlan. His kit revolves around keeping his HP low to ensure his damage output stays high.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Band of Sizzling Thunder

With a lightning damage and skill damage boost, Band of Sizzling Thunder is easily the best option for increasing Arlan's output.

Band of Sizzling Thunder Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases lightning damage by 10%.
  • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their skill, increases their attack by 20% for 1 turn.

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Holy Hymn

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat

Musketeer of Wild Wheat is a relic set you'll get five star drops of fairly early in the game, and is a fine stand-in until you can farm the more powerful Band of Sizzling Thunder.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

  • 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
  • 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Where to find Musketeer of Wild Wheat

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Drifting

Best Planar Ornament Set — Rutilant Arena

A relatively new relic set, it synergizes well with Arlan's kit, since most of his damage comes from his skill.

Rutilant Arena Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's crit rate by 8%. When the wearer's current crit rate is 70% or higher, the wearer's basic attack and skill damage increase by 20%.

Asta - 4 Star - Fire - Harmony

Body Image
We all wish we had her wallet.

Asta is primarily a speed buffer, though her break efficiency against single enemies is nothing to scoff at, either. This rich astronomer really shines when supporting other Fire characters.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Another relatively new Relic set, Messenger Traversing Hackerspace is easily the best relic set for Asta, as it can further buff speed for the entire team on top of her ultimate.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
  • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

Where to find Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Elixir Seekers

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat

As it's such a versatile relic set, Musketeer of Wild Wheat will be brought up often as a runner up for best set on attack scaling characters. It's especially important to note that the bonus from Messenger Traversing Hackerspace doesn't stack with buffs from the same artifact set. If you have a team member already equipped with Asta's best relic set, Musketeer of Wild Wheat is a solid backup plan.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

  • 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
  • 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Where to find Musketeer of Wild Wheat

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Drifting

Best Planar Ornament Set — Fleet of the Ageless

Given that you're going to be building Asta with a lot of speed to keep her ultimate up anyway, the attack bonus from this set is easy to reach and the HP boost helps keep Asta standing for as long as possible.

Fleet of the Ageless Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's max HP by 12%. When the wearer's speed reaches 120 or higher, increase all allies' attack by 8%.

Dan Heng - 4 Star - Wind - Hunt

Image
Body Image
Broody Astral Express man wonders why you stopped building him.

Being one of the first characters you receive in the game, Dan Heng is a fairly easy-to-build DPS. Anything that grants him more wind damage or attack is the way to go.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Eagle of Twilight Line

With a boost to wind damage and a four piece effect that advances your turn forward after using your ultimate, Dan Heng's first choice for his cavern relic set should be Eagle of Twilight Line.

Eagle of Twilight Line Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases wind damage by 10%.
  • 4 piece: After the wearer uses their ultimate, their action is advanced forward by 25%.

Where to find Eagle of Twilight Line

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Gelid Wind

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Eagle of Twilight Line

While best utilized with the 2 piece effect and pairing it with the 2 piece effect of Eagle of Twilight Line mentioned above, Musketeer of Wild Wheat (as with many characters) is definitely a legitimate second pick.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

  • 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
  • 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Gelid Wind

Best Planar Ornament Set — Space Sealing Station

With Dan Heng being a DPS character, Space Sealing Station is the best option for his Planar Ornament slots given you've been investing in his speed.

Space Sealing Station Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's attack by 12%. When the wearer's speed reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's attack increases by an extra 12%.

Herta - 4 Star - Ice - Erudition

Image
Body Image
She can do much more than just provide free items and hours of gameplay.

Herta is available for free through the first level of Simulated Universe. Her kit focuses on ice damage and follow-up damage, and for the most part, her relics should too.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Hunter of Glacial Forest

Herta's ideal setup includes 2 pieces of Hunter of Glacial Forest and 2 pieces of Musketeer of Wild Wheat, netting her both an ice damage and attack boost.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

  • 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
  • 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

  • 4 piece: After the wearer uses their ultimate, their crit damage increases by 25% for 2 turns.

Where to find Hunter of Glacial Forest

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Gelid Wind

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Hunter of Glacial Forest

As the Cavern Relic Set that focuses on improving ice damage, Hunter of Glacial Forest is the best relic set for her. While the 4 piece effect doesn't do much for Herta's overall damage, you'll need at least two good pieces from this set for her optimal set up.

Hunter of Glacial Forest Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases ice damage by 10%.
  • 4 piece: After the wearer uses their ultimate, their crit damage increases by 25% for 2 turns.

Where to find Hunter of Glacial Forest

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Gelid Wind

Best Planar Ornament Set — Space Sealing Station

Inert Salsotto is also a fine pick to boost her follow-up damage, but the boost from Space Sealing Station tends to give a more consistent improvement to Herta's personal damage.

Space Sealing Station Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's attack by 12%. When the wearer's speed reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's attack increases by an extra 12%.

Hook - 4 Star - Fire - Destruction

Image
Body Image
Her giggle is unrivaled.

This adorable little Destruction gremlin is another straightforward 4 Star DPS — simply give her some speed, attack, and crit stats, and unleash her unto the world.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Firesmith of Lava-Forging

While Musketeer of Wild Wheat's 4 piece effect isn't what you're after, the 2 piece Musketeer + 2 piece Firesmith is the optimal setup for Pitch-Dark Hook the Great.

Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

  • 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
  • 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

Where to find Musketeer of Wild Wheat

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Drifting

Firesmith of Lava-Forging Stats

  • 2 piece: Increase fire damage by 10%.
  • 4 piece: Increases the wearer's skill damage by 12%. After unleashing ultimate, increases the wearer's fire damage by 12% for the next attack.

Where to find Firesmith of Lava-Forging

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Conflagration

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Firesmith of Lava-Forging

The 4 piece effect of Firesmith of Lava-Forging takes the second-place spot for Hook, as it loses out to the 2 piece Musketeer + 2 piece Firesmith combo in terms of burn damage.

Firesmith of Lava-Forging Stats

  • 2 piece: Increase fire damage by 10%.
  • 4 piece: Increases the wearer's skill damage by 12%. After unleashing ultimate, increases the wearer's fire damage by 12% for the next attack.

Where to find Firesmith of Lava-Forging

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Conflagration

Best Planar Ornament Set — Rutilant Arena

With the largest amount of damage coming from Hook's skill, Rutilant Arena is going to be the best pick to improve her numbers.

Rutilant Arena Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's crit rate by 8%. When the wearer's current crit rate is 70% or higher, the wearer's basic attack and skill damage increase by 20%.

Luka - 4 Star - Physical - Nihility

Image
Body Image
The kind of guy that brings a fist to a knife fight and wins.

Luka is a physical support with a focus on damage over time. His main goal in life is to make his enemies bleed, a fact well represented by his kit.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Champion of Streetwise Boxing

Luka can take advantage of both the physical damage boost from the 2 piece and the attack boost from the 4 piece, making this relic set his best choice.

Champion of Streetwise Boxing Stats:

  • 2 piece: Increase physical damage by 10%.
  • 4 piece: After the wearer attacks or is hit, their attack increases by 5% for the rest of the battle. This effect can stack up to five times. 

Where to find Champion of Streetwise Boxing

  • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Jabbing Punch

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace + Champion of Streetwise Boxing

The physical damage boost from the 2 piece Champion of Streetwise Boxing set combined with the speed boost from the 2 piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace set is a decent alternative to the 4 piece set mentioned above, allowing Luka to attack more often and inflict more bleeding.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
  • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

Best Planar Ornament Set — Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise

As mentioned before, Luka wants to make his enemies bleed. To make sure this happens, you'll want to build his effect hit rate up. This Planar Ornament set will not only help you do that, but give you an attack boost as well.

Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's effect hit rate by 10%. The wearer's attack is increased by 25% of the current effect hit rate, to a maximum of 25%.

Lynx - 4 Star - Quantum - Abundance

Image
Body Image
Somehow, her Surströmming heals.

The newest addition to the game's roster of healers, Lynx comes with strong heals, a teamwide maximum HP boost, taunt increase for Destruction and Preservation characters, and a team-wide cleanse through her ultimate.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Since you want Lynx healing and cleansing as often as possible, Messenger Traversing Hackerspace is going to be her best relic pick. The teamwide speed boost from the 4 piece effect adds even more utility to her already useful ultimate.

Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
  • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Passerby of Wandering Cloud + Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

Combining the speed boost from the Messenger Traversing Hackerspace 2 piece set with the healing boost of the Passerby of Wandering Cloud 2 piece set is a formidable runner-up for any Lynx build.

Passerby of Wandering Cloud Stats

  • 2 piece: Increase outgoing healing by 10%.
  • 4 piece: At the start of battle, immediately regenerate 1 skill point.

Best Planar Ornament Set — Broken Keel

Lynx has traces that can improve her effect resistance, so Broken Keel is the best Planar Ornament Set for her, allowing her to further boost her team through the crit damage boost.

Broken Keel Stats

  • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's effect resistance by 10%. When the wearer's effect resistance is 30% or higher, all allies' crit damage increases by 10%.

What's wrong? Afraid of what she might do?

The adorable shielder in everyone's account, March 7th protects us with defense-scaling love and freeze upon breaking the weaknesses of enemies. There's really only one Cavern Relic set for her, as our defense-boosting options are limited.

Best Cavern Relic Set — Knight of Purity Palace

With a 2 piece set bonus that boosts her defense and a 4 piece bonus that increases the damage absorption of her shield, there's no doubt that Knight of Purity Palace is her best Cavern Relic set.

Knight of Purity Palace Stats:

  • 2 piece: Increase defense by 15%.
  • 4 piece: Increase the maximum damage that can be absorbed by shields created by the wearer by 20%.

Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Holy Hymn

    Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace + Knight of Purity Palace

    If you just don't have enough Knight of Purity Palace pieces, a couple of Messenger Traversing Hackerspace pieces to give her a small speed boost paired with the defense from a two-piece Knight of Purity Palace can tie you over.

    Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

    • 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
    • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

    Best Planar Ornament Set — Belobog of the Architects

    Belobog of the Architects gives a defense boost outright, but gives a further defense boost with a 50% or higher effect hit rate. It may take some relic leveling to get a few effect hit rate stats, but it's worth that juicy defense boost.

    Belobog of the Architects Stats

    • 2 piece: Increase the wearer's defense by 15%. When the wearer's effect hit rate is 50% or higher, the wearer gains an extra 15% defense.

    Because every good doctor packs heat.

    Everyone's favorite mandatory shielder is followed by everyone's favorite mandatory healer, Natasha. A fairly straightforward HP scaling character with a skill that cleanses, she's a valuable member of your team and worth building.

    Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

    Like many other support characters, the 4 piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace set is Natasha's best relic set thanks to its teamwide speed boost. Just remember, one four piece bonus per team, as the teamwide buff doesn't stack with itself! If your team already has a support using Messenger Traversing Hackerspace, read on for her second best set.

    Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

    • 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
    • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

    Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Passerby of Wandering Cloud + Messenger Traversing Hackerspace

    Why do big offense when you can make defense little?

    Pela's kit revolves around her ability to remove buffs from enemies and hit them with a defense debuff. To maximize her utility, you want to be using her ultimate as much as possible.

    Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace + Hunter of Glacial Forest

    It's a very close match up between the 2 piece combination of Messenger Traversing Hackerspace/Hunter of Glacial Forest and the 4 piece set Musketeer of Wild Wheat, but the Messenger combo narrowly comes out on top, as the 10% bonus to ice damage applies to all her attacks rather than just the basic attacks.

    Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats:

    • 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
    • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

    Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat

    The 4 piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat set boosts Pela's speed by the exact same 6% as the 2 piece Messenger set, while boosting her basic attack by 10%. Since her attack damage is negligible anyway, the other option is better, but only marginally so.

    Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

    • 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
    • 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

    Where to find Musketeer of Wild Wheat

    • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Drifting

    Best Planar Ornament Set — Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise

    Effect hit rate will help Pela's defense debuff hit more often, and the attack boost will be fairly easy for her to max, making Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise her best Planar Ornament set.

    Pan-Galactic Commercial Enterprise Stats

    • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's effect hit rate by 10%. The wearer's attack is increased by 25% of the current effect hit rate, to a maximum of 25%.

    She came here to use all your skill points and chew bubble gum, but she's all out of bubble gum.

    Luofu's resident gambling goblin Qingque gets most of her attack damage through her basic attack by consuming the team's skill points. Capable of dealing out large amounts of Quantum damage, she's worth careful consideration when deciding who to build to their full potential.

    Best Cavern Relic Set — Genius of Brilliant Stars

    The quantum damage boost and the four piece bonus that allows you to ignore 10% of the enemy's defense fits perfectly with Qingque's hard hitting quantum basic attack.

    Genius of Brilliant Stars Stats

    • 2 piece: Increase quantum damage by 10%
    • 4 piece: When the wearer deals damage to an enemy, ignore 10% of their defense. If the target enemy has quantum weakness, the wearer ignores an additional 10% defense.

    Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Genius of Brilliant Stars

    Pairing a two-piece set from Musketeer of Wild Wheat with a two-piece set from Genius of Brilliant Stars is also a nice damage-boosting option for Qingque.

    Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

    • 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.

    Rutilant Arena Stats

    • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's crit rate by 8%. When the wearer's current crit rate is 70% or higher, the wearer's basic attack and skill damage increase by 20%.

    Conman extraordinaire Sampo Koski is a Nihility character whose kit revolves around Wind Shear, a wind-based DoT. You'll want to focus on beefing up your speed and attack while making him as sturdy as possible.

    Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Eagle of Twilight Line

    Sampo's best Cavern Relic set is going to be a two-piece Musketeer of Wild Wheat and a two-piece Eagle of Twilight Line. The attack and wind bonus combined will benefit his damage the most.

    Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

    With a four-piece bonus of advancing the character's action forward by 25% upon using their ultimate, it's not quite as beneficial as the two-piece combo utilizing Musketeer of Wild Wheat, but the four-piece Eagle of Twilight Line set is still a good pick for Mister Koski.

    When asked if she wanted to wear a lab coat or a rock star outfit, Serval said yes.

    Serval is an Erudition character with a slightly shocking touch to her kit, allowing her to function as either a DPS or a sub-DPS. As Baby's First Lightning Character, she's worth some attention when building your roster.

    Best Cavern Relic Set — Band of Sizzling Thunder

    Like with most Lightning DPS characters, the boost to lightning damage and the attack boost upon using the character's skill is too good to pass up for Serval enthusiasts.

    Band of Sizzling Thunder Stats

    • 2 piece: Increases lightning damage by 10%.
    • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their skill, increases their attack by 20% for 1 turn.

    Again, like with many other DPS characters, a two-piece combination of Musketeer along with a two-piece relic set of their applicable element (in Serval's case, the Band of Sizzling Thunder) is going to be a close second to the elemental four-piece.

    Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

    • 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.

    With a physical damage boost and an attack buff to boot, Champion of Streetwise Boxing is going to be Sushang's best Cavern Relic set.

        Hunter of Glacial Forest Stats

        • 2 piece: Increases ice damage by 10%.
        • 4 piece: After the wearer uses their ultimate, their crit damage increases by 25% for 2 turns.

        Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Musketeer of Wild Wheat + Hunter of Glacial Forest

        While the attack boost isn't usually going to do as much for Jingliu as the crit damage boost, the two-piece combo of Musketeer of Wild Wheat and Hunter of Glacial Forest will work fine as you farm better pieces.

        Musketeer of Wild Wheat Stats

        • 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
        • 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

        Best Planar Ornament Set — Rutilant Arena

        Jingliu's crit rate increases by a whopping 40% when in her special state, so it'd be foolish to choose a Planar Ornament other than Rutilant Arena to take advantage of her kit.

        Rutilant Arena Stats

        • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's crit rate by 8%. When the wearer's current crit rate is 70% or higher, the wearer's basic attack and skill damage increase by 20%.

        She's the DoT Queen with no fear in her heart… yet.

        Kafka is a Nihility DPS, and relies mostly on her DoT. This means building attack and effect hit rate over crit stats, unless you just like the idea of crit-Kafka.

        Best Cavern Relic Set — Band of Sizzling Thunder

        As with most Lightning DPS characters, you're going to see the most impact from Kafka's attacks when running the four-piece Band of Sizzling Thunder set to take advantage of the attack boost.

        Band of Sizzling Thunder Stats

        • 2 piece: Increases lightning damage by 10%.
        • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their skill, increases their attack by 20% for 1 turn.

        • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Holy Hymn

        Second Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace + Band of Sizzling Thunder

        A solid option if you need more speed rather than more attack, the two-piece Messenger Traversing Hackerspace paired with the two-piece Band of Sizzling Thunder will have your Kafka hitting hard and fast.

        Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

        • 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%
        • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked

        • Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Holy Hymn

        Best Planar Ornament Set — Space Sealing Station

        You should be building Kafka with a decent amount of speed, so it's hard to beat the attack boost you get from Space Sealing Station, at least compared to the current Planar Ornament sets.

        Space Sealing Station Stats

        • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's attack by 12%. When the wearer's speed reaches 120 or higher, the wearer's attack increases by an extra 12%.

        Yes, the dude with a giant coffin is a healer. It's not like he's carrying around a giant gun or anything.

        Luocha is a skill-point friendly healer that scales on attack. A valuable member of any team, he's worth carefully building to maximize his potential.

        Best Cavern Relic Set — Messenger Traversing Hackerspace + Passerby of Wandering Cloud

        The two-piece combination of Messenger Traversing Hackerspace and Passerby of Wandering Cloud allows Luocha to attack and heal more often, and makes his heals more powerful.

        Messenger Traversing Hackerspace Stats

        • 2 piece: Increases speed by 6%.
        • 4 piece: When the wearer uses their ultimate on an ally, increase speed of all allies by 12% for 1 turn. This effect cannot be stacked.

          • 2 piece: Attack increases by 12%.
          • 4 piece: The wearer's speed increases by 6% and their basic attack damage increases by 10%.

          Best Planar Ornament Set — Broken Keel

          Though it requires building effect resistance through substats, Broken Keel gives him even more value in your team.

          Broken Keel Stats

          • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's effect resistance by 10%. When the wearer's effect resistance is 30% or higher, all allies' crit damage increases by 10%.

          Oh, look at that… it's Seele's-turn o'clock.

          The first limited release character of the game, Seele is a straightforward DPS. Just give the girl some attack, speed, and crit stats and send her to work.

          Best Cavern Relic Set — Genius of Brilliant Stars

          Seele's best option for Cavern Relics is going to be the four-piece Genius of Brilliant Star set. It's hard to argue against ignoring enemy defense and boosting quantum damage.

          Genius of Brilliant Stars Stats

          • 2 piece: Increase quantum damage by 10%
          • 4 piece: When the wearer deals damage to an enemy, ignore 10% of their defense. If the target enemy has quantum weakness, the wearer ignores an additional 10% defense.

          Rutilant Arena Stats

          • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's crit rate by 8%. When the wearer's current crit rate is 70% or higher, the wearer's basic attack and skill damage increase by 20%.

          Life hack — just make your enemies weak to you. Duh.

          Silver Wolf is a unique character with the ability to impart weaknesses to enemies, and excellent in a support role by dishing out debuffs.

          Best Cavern Relic Set — Genius of Brilliant Stars

          With a four-piece bonus that ignores enemy defense and a two-piece that buffs quantum damage, Genius of Brilliant Stars is the best relic set for Silver Wolf.

          Rules are meant to be broken, after all.

          Physical is our first Trailblazer iteration. While outshined by later characters, the Trailblazer is still a usable Physical option, especially for the early content of the game.

          Best Cavern Relic Set — Champion of Streetwise Boxing

          Like other physical DPS characters, Physical Trailblazer's best relic set is going to be Champion of Streetwise Boxing, thanks to its physical damage boost and attack boost.

          • 2 piece: Increase physical damage by 10%.
          • 4 piece: After the wearer attacks or is hit, their attack increases by 5% for the rest of the battle. This effect can stack up to five times.

          • 2 piece: Increases the wearer's crit rate by 8%. When the wearer's current crit rate is 70% or higher, the wearer's basic attack and skill damage increase by 20%.

          Best Cavern Relic Set — Knight of Purity Palace

          With a defense boost and extra shield power, Knight of Purity Palace is going to be the first pick for any well-equipped Fire Trailblazer.

          • 2 piece: Reduces damage taken by 8%.
          • 4 piece: At the beginning of the turn, if the wearer's HP is 50% or less, restores HP equal to 8% of max HP and regenerates 5 energy.

          As the Astral Express' resident Grandpa and relic expert, you'll want to make sure Welt is equipped for the job. He's fairly straightforward to build, but you'll want to take full advantage of his skill and ultimate slowing and imprisoning enemies.

          Best Cavern Relic Set — Wastelander of Banditry Desert

          With a four-piece set that gives a crit rate bonus upon attacking debuffed enemies and a crit damage bonus upon attacking imprisoned enemies, no self respecting Welt would be caught without this relic set.

          Pls don't bully him :(

          The last character on the list, Yanqing, is another straightforward DPS character with some follow-up damage to boot. Maximize his attack, crit stats, and ice damage for best results. After beating him up so many times throughout the story, it's the least you can do if he's on your roster.

          Best Cavern Relic Set — Hunter of Glacial Forest

          Easily Yanqing's best option, this set will boost his ice damage and his crit damage upon using his ultimate.

          With so many different relics and new characters being released regularly, it can be hard to stay on top of what characters work best with which relics. Now that you're equipped with some basic knowledge on every character, why not take a second look at your roster? You may have a diamond of a character hidden in the rough of the unbuilt.
