Relic System Guide
Complete breakdown of UTD's gear system. Which relics to prioritize, how substats work, and where to farm them.
What Are Relics?
Relics are gear pieces that boost your units' stats. Similar to Epic 7's gear system, relics have main stats and substats. Equipping the right relics can dramatically increase your unit's effectiveness.
Relic Stat Tier List
Crit Rate
+15% TRAPBest for: Kyito
WARNING: Crit Rate is multiplicative, not additive. A +37.5% crit rate only turns 15% base into ~20%. Generally considered a trap stat.
Crit Damage
+72%Best for: Kyito, Crit units
Great for crit-based units. Pair with Duelist trait on Kyito.
DOT Damage
+45%Best for: Ace (Burn)
Essential for Ace. Burn damage scales extremely well with this relic.
Buff Potency
+27%Best for: Virtual Idol
MUST HAVE for Virtual Idol. Increases all buff effects she provides.
Cooldown Reduction
-22.5%Best for: All DPS units
Universal DPS increase. More attacks = more damage. Best general relic.
Damage
+48%Best for: All DPS units
Good general damage increase. Works on any DPS unit.
Hyper Armor Damage
+99%Best for: Kenpachi
ESSENTIAL for Kenpachi. Massively increases damage against armored bosses.
Range
+22%Best for: Support units
Good for supports. Virtual Idol can buff more units with increased range.
Substat Upgrade Strategy
When you enhance a relic, upgrades either improve existing substats (Perk Upgrade) or unlock new ones. Prioritize relics with 5 substats already to maximize value.
UPGRADE
All upgrades go into existing stats (Perk Upgrade). Maximum value potential.
CONSIDER
Good if main stat is perfect. 1 upgrade might unlock new stat.
AVOID
Upgrades may waste rolls unlocking new substats instead of improving existing ones.
Gear Slots & Sources
| Slot | Source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Hat (Accessory) | Virtual Realm (Hard) | Exclusive to VR Hard mode. Mythic quality drops. |
| Top (Shirt) | Virtual Realm | Normal VR drops lower quality, Hard drops Mythic. |
| Bottom (Pants) | Virtual Realm (Hard) | Complete the set for maximum stats. |
| Weapon | Story Mode / Legend Stages | Higher difficulty = better relic drops. |

Relic Farming Tips
- Nightmare Mode (75%)
Best source for Mythic relics. Gives good XP too.
- Legend Stages
Higher difficulty increases drop rate. 1000% gives ~14.5% drop rate.
- Virtual Realm Hard
Only source for exclusive gear pieces (Hat, special Top/Bottom).
- Gold is Abundant
~20k gold to max a relic. Gold is easy to farm, so upgrade freely.
Common Mistakes
- Stacking Crit Rate on Cyborg
Crit Rate is multiplicative. +37.5% only turns 15% base into ~20%, not 52.5%.
- Upgrading 3-substat relics
Waste of resources. Always wait for 5-substat Mythic relics.
- No sorting feature
Game lacks sorting. Be careful not to accidentally fodder good relics.
