How to Get & Enhance Relics
Complete breakdown of UTD's gear system. How substats work, where to farm relics, and upgrade strategies.
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 Stats Overview
Each relic has a main stat that determines its primary effect. Understanding which stats to prioritize is crucial for optimizing your units.
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.

Relic Farming Tips
- Story Nightmare
Canonical drop notes describe Nightmare as a high-chance Mythic relic route; exact current rates still need in-game verification.
- Legend / Higher Difficulty Runs
Use higher difficulty routes when your team can clear them consistently; exact drop-rate math should be checked against current run logs.
- Virtual Realm Shop
Canonical reward notes include relic-related shop items such as Scarlet Maid Plushie and stat reroll resources.
- Gold Budget
Upgrade promising relics first; exact gold-to-max values are treated as guide-model notes until verified.
Common Mistakes
- Stacking Crit Rate on Cyborg
Crit Rate is multiplicative. +37.5% only turns 15% base into ~20%, not 52.5%.
- Upgrading weak 3-substat relics
Usually poor value compared with waiting for stronger Mythic pieces, especially when the main stat is not useful.
- No sorting feature
Game lacks sorting. Be careful not to accidentally fodder good relics.
