NGL: I can see the potential in Relics, and I like it

ESF

LOL: First of all, I totally got a SWitch relic and I absolutely bound it to Doctor Strange, because of course I did.

But as for the Relics themselves…I think this is gonna work, IF IF IF IF IF IF IF Kabam makes them balanced in how players can attain them AND makes them so they can help the entire roster, even if the characters aren’t the strongest in the game.

But I ran it with SWitch, and it wasn’t distracting or difficult to do, especially if you watched a YouTube video when they were discussed.

Curious to see what others think, if they approach it with open minds

it's new but yeah it seems cool. feels a bit weird using 3*/4* relics because I'm still wondering if it's worth using resource on them. it costs like 250K gold to do one rank on the 3* one and appears to go up by 50K for each star level. wish they would've announced a new daily quest to get basic alloy/rune iso. No gold cost for leveling up slots is cool though.

I can see the potential for whales to dominate the game more than they already do. Battlegrounds will be very uneven after people get 10-30 of these.

As for solo content (story, WQ etc..) I don’t think they are needed at all.

Well
I've wanted to get Hulkbuster Relic and bound it to Psycho man
I've got Vision relic... Will bound it to Psycho man anyway
(I mean 4* relic)

I just wanna know when the next batch is gonna arrive and how often we'll get new ones

For me — again, just me, because I hear what you’re saying — is if we know the game has to evolve and move forward, and the choice is this or 7-stars or both, then Relics are at least different and offer players choice in customization.

I won’t say I won’t ever try to get 7-stars. I am saying that I just don’t have any interest in ever pulling a 7-star OG Weak Character, so this is more preferable for me and how I play the game.

My hope is that a lot of people find something they like as this game tries to move into the future

they are crazy expensive for how little benefits they give, wasted 500 units on two 3*.
never again

Me, too — that’s the key, and I truly hope the Kabam team knows that this thing has to keep players engaged and excited, otherwise yikes

I feel like they are made too much to enhance specific champs. Some of them are pretty niche (vision), but I am curious what interactions ppl will find

Kinda hoping it goes along with champ releases. 2 per month. Maybe even have it where we get a champ one week, a relic the next, and then champ again ending with a 2nd relic. Means we'd have a new.toy every week now instead of every 2 weeks.

Ouch. Sorry to hear that — that’s not a great feeling. I think I might wait for the next batch t before I drop some units on it

I would REALLY REALLY REALLY like for the class restriction to be removed — for example, what if I want to have Thor’s abilities to enhance Iron Man IW? I do agree that they are a bit too specific

The stat increases from them are so minimal right now. Maybe I’m missing something but sure doesn’t like a game changing mechanic.

QS- 10 hit combo, relic, stun from relic, another 10 hit combo. this is probably the most concerning part that will be abused and become a meta. just hope the relic finishing a fight does not disturb charges on champs such as corv, apoc, and other champs that require finishing a champ for benefits.
besides that honestly dont mind relics so far

it's because they are of the 3*/4* variant. if you look at like the 6* Venom relic it's a +32% potency on bleed effects for 16s, so if it maths like it should that's about a 1/3 increase in bleed damage. when he's awakened you inflict indefinite bleed vulnerability passives of 6% that stack 8 times. and if you pick "Merciless Strike" with someone like Venompool it'll be +24% crit dmg and +48% crit chance. yeah, I really don't like being forced into 3*/4* but thinking about my R3 Venompool with a 6* Venom relic or even my R4 Aegon with a 6* BP Relic and I'm starting to get really excited.

show me where it says stun lock.... relic causes a stun that allows another hit combo right after, qs also has a 10-13 hit combo

so you dont think a 5 hit combo, relic stun, 5 hit combo, special 2/3 isnt going a bit over board?

I think they are cool and have potential but I finish most fights before I even get to use them. Also that damn button is always in my way 😂
