Will there be more relics available soon?

So far, I have 24 3* relics, and some of the same relics in the upper star levels, but hundreds of champs. Are there more relic champs available and I just don't have them yet? If not, will there be new relics released soon, and with a varitey of classes? Constantly unbinding them from one champ and binding to different a champ is getting old. We keep getting relic offers, but no new relic champs. Here is a list of the ones I have:

Wolverine
OG Black Panther
Hulkbuster
Vision
Scarlett Witch
M⚡️Marvel
Iron Fist
Hulk
Captain America
Venom
AntMan
Spidey 2099
Gamora
Valkyrie
Storm
Winter Soldier
Thor
Juggs
Ghost Rider
Sinister
Green Goblin
Black Widow
Gambit
Sentinel

There's no news on future relics yet

Better question, will relic whiffing be acknowledged and addressed?

Schnoodle

I’d love to see some sort of relics that aren’t characters in the game, sort of relic exclusives.

or relics that aren't attacks

mystic relic... no hit, no damage, just remove 1 bar of power
tech relic... no hit, no damage, just inflict heal block for NN seconds
etc.

Yup I just stated saving my shards. I'm hoping on some new ones soon. I have 72 but somehow I don't have spider-man 2099.

Defensive bullseye relic that makes him even tougher to face 😎

100% this…

Just to preface this opinion, I'm coming from a stance of liking what relics offer.

Now that said, whether you love, hate, or feel completely indifferent to relics, I think the concept must be up in the top 5 most frustrating topics of 2023.

Kabam hyped them up pretty good at launch towards the end of 2022, and less than a year later, the release cadence is "paused".

To me, the frustrations are multifaceted.

1) Five months after announcing the pause in release cadence, we've had no additional information. Miike made a brief reference to them on a stream in December, but it was little more than dancing around the topic saying "they're not going away".

2) Despite #1, they continue to release content that punishes summoners for not using relics.

3) They continue to include relic shards (rather stingy) as rewards in top tier content.
3a) Could other rewards replace these relic shards?
3b) Does kabam have a plan for the shards being awarded, if at the conclusion of the pause, they decide to do away with them?

4) The limited pool of relics combined with #2, forces additional steps in playing end-game content, cause you likely have to unbind a relic from one champ to put it on another champ.

5) With the increasing range of abilities new champs have, many champs don't even have a relic that truly benefits them. You're left simply throwing a relic on and using it for nothing more than a combo extender, and negating the punishment received by a node for not having one equipped.

I'm currently sitting on 19 5* Nexus relics because I already have all of the available 5* relics awakened.

I continue to open all tiers of relic crystals when I form a full one via shards cause I'm still missing nine of the 6* relics that I'm chasing.

So like I said, I personally like relics. I just really wish they'd give an update on the status. Kill the program completely or get it back on track as something we can get excited about. At a minimum though, stop releasing content that punishes people for not having a relic equipped.

New relics are needed. The fact that you are “forced”, and yes we are, to use them, we need more options. I currently have every relic 3*-5* awakened. I am still missing quite a bit of 6* relics, but I have 0 desire to open them. I still feel most of use them as combo extenders and not their actually abilities save a couple of them.

More unique interactions with new relics should be implemented. Give a 3 second debuff immunity passive, grants a passive power gain, pauses debuffs on activation for 3 seconds, grants a regen passive etc…. There are so many cool things they can add instead of just extending a combo. I’d be fine with giving them some of the abilities I mentioned above and taking away the stun… only for new ones though.

It’s very bizarre that they pushed them so hard for 6 months and then basically cut them off except forcing us to have and use them. What if they just cut off releasing 7* out of nowhere? It’s the same thing basically.

They haven't announced new relics yet, but possibly relics that aren't strikers would also be useful as well.

IvarTheBoneless

I have no problem with the pause. I still need to pull sp2099 relic ib a higher rarity than 3 star

Yes we need relics to benefit certain mechanics of the classes

An Iron Man/War Machine/ Silver Centurion Relic that benefits armor up gain

A Cyclops Relic to benefit power efficiency for champions like dust and Prof X

An Annihilus Relic for Armor Break

A Man Thing Relic that benefits Nullify And Poison for champions like Diablo and Claire

A Zemo relic that Benefits Cleanse/Purify

An Electro Relic that benefits Supressions Exhaustions, Withers and Petrifies

We have over 250 champs. Kabam made it seem like we'd have those same champs as relics 😅😂

captain_rogers

A science relic which enhances dot effects is a must, I'm surprised how we don't have this one as of yet.

Also a tech relic enhancing armor up effects, a skill relic that empowers bleed is also in due.

All you folks waiting for the s2099 relic: curb your enthusiasm. The relic is reliably bugged so it doesn't work the way you think. You can search the forums for threads on it. Short version is, champs with this relic still count as nullifying a precision buff when the should receive it, instead of true immunity. So all the nodes and champs that punish that effect still hurt you.

It most frustrating because they keep giving us relic materials as high end objective rewards yet no real relic content to speak of for months upon months.

That's like getting GameStop stock as a christmas bonus...in the year 2023.

WeaponX

Sure would love some kind of update on when new relic releases are planned. I have all the existing ones in various rarities and keep pulling dupes which is a waste of shards (which are not that easy to earn) as I cannot equip relics on more of my champs. Having to constantly switch them as I play various game modes is annoying, and would love more variety.

They've confirmed they're working on them currently, they aren't going to give a release date until they actually are ready to go and even then it'll just be in the patch notes before they drop.

You’ve got a link to a thread by any chance?

StuntzTheCMMKid

Would be nice to get an update.

For perspective, we currently have hundreds of champs, but only 4 relic champs in each class.

Science: Spidey 2099, Captain America, Hulk, Ant-Man.

Tech: HB, Vis, Sentinel, Green Goblin

Skill: Black Panther, Valkyrie, Winter Soldier, and Black Widow

Mutant: Storm, Gambit, Sinister, Wolverine

Cosmic: Gamora, Thor, Venom, Mz. Marvel

Mystic: Iron Fist, Juggs, Scarlet Witch, Ghost Rider.

That's it.

I've got a stash of relic crystals that I won't even open because there's nobody new in them. We're getting relic offers, but I avoid buying them for the same reason.

The relic shuffle is as bad as the mastery shuffle 😅

BringPopcorn

This is probably another reason why people don't push in BGs .. most of the tier rewards are relic based and there is no new relics to be excited about.

I have relics for the vast majority of my champs. Gotta admit that you guys are a lot more interested in relics than I am.
When I get 6* duped versions of the relics I see people chasing? They just feel like any other striker to me. 🤷‍♂️

Patiently waiting for new ones to be released…

You must don't have a lot of champs 🤔

jdschw

Yeah, i wish we would get an update. Given that the original announcement was just a "change to release cadence", and it was 8 months ago!
