Help with Relics

Hey everyone, I could use some help. I just started playing the game again after several years, and I know nothing about relics. I’ve just kind of been throwing them on champs to have a striker, but are any of these good and worth ranking up? I obviously have several lower star relics too. I have some embers and alloys and don’t really know how they work and don’t want to invest in relics that suck. Any advice helps, thanks!

These are my top champs if that helps

honestly…. I wouldn’t waste 1 minute on relic rank ups. Combo extenders and an additional way to get an intercept on a dashing defender is all they are good for if you aren’t playing top tier BG’s where a second or two matters.

Hulkbuster relic helps guardian, and venom gets a boost from venom but it’s not game altering. And the new statcast ones are definitely forgettable for the average player…. Except as I mentioned above

Upgrade that prowler relic. it helps irondoom very much. and both attributes are fire for that relic.

these are messed up for sure. Ant man relic makes SW wayyyy better. Okoye wants winter soldier. Shuri wants Hulkbuster. I think archangel wants gambit. Karolina wants ms marvel if i remember right

Thanks for the responses! How much do stars matter? I obviously care more about SW than miles morales that’s why I had the 5* torch relic rather than the 3* antman

Ant man relic is very good for any power sting champ, Hulkbuster is great for bursty shock champs (guardian in particular loves the boost to L2). Black Widow relic is especially good on Black Cat but is solid on anyone who does AA reduction.

Higher rarity relics have stronger abilities, and higher rarity battlecasts in particular get unique abilities, and get an extra bonus when duped (Statcasts just get extra potency on their stat boosts)

Doesn’t look like you have a great candidate for the gamora relic yet - she’s very good on King Groot or Gamora herself.

I keep seeing ant man being a good relic on SPW, but which part? The twin stinger or the bitter? Currently I’m running twin but I’m unsure which is better

Okoye wants Winter Soldier and not Black Panther??
