Relics are your between-run progression — the way you tilt an expedition in your favour before it even starts. A good relic set turns a shaky class into a consistent one.
Relics
🔮 What relics do
Equip relics to modify your starting stats, passives and how your skill/Ultimate behave.
🎨 Slot colours
Relics fit coloured slots — plan combinations that reinforce your Nightfarer's identity.
🌒 Earning them
Relics drop from expeditions and objectives; farm the ones that suit your favourite class.
Building a Nightfarer
- Play to the class fantasy: Ironeye marks and snipes, Guardian tanks and revives, Raider bruises up close.
- Match relics and weapons to the Nightlord you're hunting and its weakness.
- Coordinate with the squad so your loadouts cover damage, sustain and crowd control.
- Keep your Ultimate for the boss or a squad-wipe emergency, not for trash.
Relic strategy
- Prioritise relics that shore up a class's weakness — sustain on a glass cannon, damage on a tank.
- Colour-match before an expedition; a relic you can't slot does nothing.
- Farm the Nightlord that drops relics for your main until the set is complete.
- Re-tune your loadout for each Nightlord rather than running one fixed setup forever.
Sample relic goals
- Glass cannon (Recluse): stack sustain and survivability relics to offset the fragility.
- Tank (Guardian): add damage or revive-speed relics since survivability is covered.
- Marker (Ironeye): reinforce ranged damage and status build-up.
- Always colour-match to the character's slots before you commit to a set.
