How many of you care about relics ?

JessieS

Kabam has been pushing relics really really hard . Even in the banquet the supposedly best reward is a five star relic but I just don’t care at all about them . I grinded very hard to get the awakening gem but I am completely apathetic to the relic . And pretty much everyone in my alliance feels the same . Nobody wants to bother with them

So I am curious how do most of you feel ? Am I an outlier who just can’t appreciate how amazing relics are ? Or do you also don’t care about them and are wondering about why they spend so much time on them instead of fixing far more important issues with the game ?

Not one little bit. In my opinion, the game already has enough mechanics, rather than introducing a whole new world of 'relics' and having to level and rank them up too.
If it was just a case of; collect a relic and add it to your champ, I think I'd be happy with that. But so far, I'm really not interested.
When I get a new relic I add it to a champ, then pretty much forget about it.

I think the real reason relics were introduced, was to re-start the prestige race. And of course to make ton of money in the process.
They offer nothing of significance except the stun when you do use them.

Way too expensive (gold wise and effort wise to acquire one) in comparison to how little they offer.
The relic special button is placed in a terrible spot, can't get used to it.
The yellow colour of a champion when you bind a relic to them just looks cheap.
Now the champion screen height is even smaller with the added option to show the relics only.

Only the stun is useful and you can't even use it in AW or Story content. I really hope they get removed from this game soon.

Wish the passive ability wasn’t locked behind the dupe, that’s probably the most interesting part

If I could use them in all content, I would actually like them (I think).

LeNoirFaineant

At this point I care about them for prestige. That's it. It could become more.

Palistes

I honestly haven't even bothered to fully understand how they work or how to rank them up.

OKAYGang

If I could bind and unbind them I might care but they are straight busted and nobody seems to care about fixing the problem. People have been posting in the section dedicated to relic bugs for nearly a month about this without one single response.

The binding/unbinding isn’t bugged. It’s people not understanding how to do it properly.

I’ve found them fun, I suppose they’ll become more significant as we get more powerful relics that synergise better with the top champions. They’ve pushed me to 16k prestige which is cool but beyond being a free combo in bg I’ve not found them earth shatteringly important.

The extra combo is great when you are trying to wait out Hercules’ immortality or trying to KO someone who is almost 3 bars of power but you are impatient… I hate baiting, that’s why I don’t go fishing either.

Skunkcabbage

I'm boycotting them personally, just pointless IMO.

Rudolph_Raindeer

I care for them, but only for prestige. Actually it is the only thing I am currently hunting, since I am good in all other aspects of the game…

Colinwhitworth69

I use the strikers to positive impact. Nothing game changing with the other impacts until I can rank up the relics.

No it is bugged mate, it isn't allowing the binding of a relic to stick to the champ. I've created a thread on this and shown through GIFs that it is indeed bugged.

Mackey

I am binding (when it let's me at least) relics to champs when I get them, we'll 5* and 4* ones anyway but other than that I don't care for them at all. Just a gimmick to spin a load of money off the whales chasing prestige IMO

It's more fun when you master it.

Chobbly

I want to care about Relics.

I want to get Mjolnir and Stormbreaker as relics. I want the Eye of Agamoto, Daredevil's Cowl, the Darkhold, Cap's Shield, JARVIS and Hawkeye's Bow. Maybe sling rings as a common item for mystic characters. Or even as ultra rare items the Infinity stones themselves.

What we've got now are a bit bland to be fair. Fully acknowledge all the work that's gone in so far, etc but Relics are a shadow of what they could be.

H3t3r

Don't care for 3/4* relics. Do care about the 5* and above as I notice those ones add quite a bit of damage/ utility to the champs.

Badabibidon

I didn't care about them until I got the 5* juggernaut relic *

spidyjedi84

Don't care at all about them in any fashion. A waste of Kabam's time to introduce this for whales instead of fixing the long list of ongoing issues players have been having like input issues that was never, ever fixed, we just stopped getting compensated for the issue.

I understand how to do it, it's bugged. Go see the multiple screenshots people have posted, game says it binds but it does not. There is also an issue unbinding, and no it's not because the champs are active in quest, war or arenas.

Honestly I loved a couple of them
Especially juggernaut on juggernaut, the beserk buff adding up a little, gaining regen when I get unstoppable or hit harder by going for intensify

Also like thor on odin, it's fun to watch 2 lines of buffs on u.

Rest mostly are underwhelming. Yet to try hulk and storm

Agreed they could have done this and it would have been so much cooler, maybe even made some animals that could be summoned like the current strikers as well like Cosmo the space dog for the Guardians, Lockjaw for the Inhumans, a giant ant for Antman, etc

GroundedWisdom

I think they're great if used properly. It's all about binding them to the Champs that will gain the most from them.

For me, the number of years Kabam has been working on relics would have been better served on working on something else. They don’t do enough of anything to make it worthwhile trying to obtain them and rank them up. I’d rather keep my gold. If you’re in the prestige race, I guess this is something to collect until 7* champs truly arrive. I really want to like relics. At the moment they just feel like a massive waste of developer time, especially as we’re still waiting on a mastery update.

Chikel

I wanted to like them, even tested out the early ones but they were disappointing. Now I have completely forgotten about them
1. They don't offer anything to the champs I use. To properly utilize them, I'd have to rank up some B-tier or C-tier champs
2. They take too long to fill up especially in BG. Fights are over by that time
3. When everything lines up, I don't notice a difference. The numbers are absurdly low. 0.0001 attack rating or some ****. Why would I waste efforts and resources for that?

I think Kabam was too afraid of making them OP that they ended up extremely underpowered. I hope they have learned their lesson and come up with a way to make them exciting. There's a lot of potential there.

TheLightBringer

There was an increase in caring about them for me, now I care enough to say I hate everything about them and I hope they get removed from the game by some sort of a miracle

KingAz

I don’t really care. It’s kinda just there tbh

BowTieJohn

Not yet...

I feel like you are underestimating the 5 and 6* versions. They add quite a bit. And they work very well on the best champs of the relics specific class.

JragonMaster170

Some of them have neat benefits. They’re nice just to have.
