Champions who most benefit from Statcast Relics vs Battlecase Relics?

Since the Statcast relics came out we've been SWAMPED with options to relic up our champions, which is great for those who sometimes felt there weren't enough to go around, but where I'm struggling is identifying which champions most benefit from the Statcast relics specifically instead of any of the Battlecast relics.

Obviously there are some Battlecast Relics that explicitly benefit champions (examples that immediately come to mind are Venom with the Venom Relic, Black Cat with the Black Widow Relic, Domino with the Sinister Relic, Guardian with Hulkbuster, and Bastion with the Sentinel Relic. But beyond some of those key connections, are there any Champions who SPECIFICALLY prefer one or more of the Stat cast relics? Should you simply put them on any champion that you expect to use in AW/BG defence since they benefit from them still?

I've looked around for some guides but nothing has taken them on again (which is understandable given how many there are) so I'm feeling really lost and overwhelmed with so many options...

Unless there's a champ that benefits specifically from extra shock/bleed/incinerate damage etc. Then just pop a relic on em and be done with it.

I, myself haven't had much luck finding a guide to statcast relics. I haven't ranked up any either.

I can think of one specific champ off the top of my head. Jack wants more crit damage as it amps up his red numbers. So he benefits more from the prowler relic than a battle cast relic. I’m sure there’s more. But as a whole, any defender you have wants a stat cast relic so it will boost them on defense

Okoye plus bullseye statcast relics is amazing

I recall one of the YouTubers (MSD?) saying to use the Black Widow Relic on Okoye…although looking at her kit it seems to only be relevant if you use her SP3…??

The best so far was KT doing a livestream talking about them with his chat, maybe like a week or 2 ago.

In general I would say like 80% of champions are going to prefer a statcast relic. The battlecasts were very niche, but when they did work they worked really well.

Going to get alot of defensive stats from 50% of the statcasts as 4 are offensive primary and 4 defensive (Lucky me pulled 6 7* defensive ones). Then secondary I think has 3 defensive and 2 offensive options for each primary.

Hulkling on Serpent - sure give him more armor penetration, why not.

The Crit damage tech crew - Shuri, Jack, Guardian etc who benefit from abilities based on their Crit Dmg Rate

Science and Mystic relics are both defensive in nature, help the photons, enchantress, kindreds be more of a pain. Thing you can help torch with his block prof.

Magneto more SP damage, awesome great for Jean. I am trying out the Colossus on sinister, if it is better then using his own.

Ok. This is informative.

there is some nuance to placing the right ststcast relic — for example, one Bullseye is better than the other for Okoye. But generally the ststcast stuff isn’t that deep, and that was Kabam’s whole point. Their interaction with the kits is supposed to be simple.

You can easily throw them into two buckets — statcasts that boost damage and statcasts that improve survivability. Put the damage ones on your attacking champs and the survivability ones on your defenders.

Cull with the block prof hulkling relic

If you can get a Cosmic 'of Blocking' Statcast relic, stick it on Cull Obsidian.

The Superior Iron Man relic would be best, since it gives both block proficiency and armour.
