Summary
Honkai: Star Railplayers have voiced their frustration over the game’s relic system, claiming it’s unrewarding and restrictive. There are two types ofrelic sets inHonkai: Star Rail, Planar Ornaments and Cavern Relics. Planar Ornaments, which can be placed in the Planar Sphere and Link Rope slots, serve as additional gear and provide some rare stats. Cavern Relics, on the other hand, boost the character’s main stats like HP and ATK. Unlike Planar Ornaments, they have a 4-piece effect that makes the wearer even more powerful.
Both relic types are essential parts of character builds inHonkai: Star Rail. Similar to Light Cones, they have their own rarity, with five-star relics providing better stats than others. What makes Cavern Relics superior to Planar Ornaments is that they offer two effects that improve certain aspects of the wearer. For instance, Passerby of Wandering Cloud increases max HP and regenerates a skill point, while Musketeer of Wild Wheat boosts ATK and SPD by a percentage.
Honkai: Star Railplayers went on Reddit to voice their frustration over the game’s relic system, indicating that a lot of relic pieces usually go to waste. One player, who goes by Swift311, said they completed the triple-reward Planar Ornament event and could only obtain two useful pieces. They called the HoYo team to add the ability to alter relics' stats. Another player, who goes by DailyMilo, claimed they couldn’t even get one useful piece after spending all their runs.
Many players thinkHonkai: Star Rail’s relic systemneeds a rework because it is unrewarding and restrictive. Besides, some want the developers to give Self-Modeling Resins more uses; for example, they should be able to use these items to reforge relics.
Where To Find Relics in Honkai: Star Rail?
