    I use them only to get openings through combo extenders

    I’m somewhere between loving them and being indifferent toward them. There’s a big gap there

    I think they are cool and a solid idea but it feels impossible to level them up. It feels like it is impossible to get those class alloys so I can’t get any of mine past rank one even though I really want to utilize them.

    I play a lot in BG, the relics are excellent for that game mode. Plus, it ncreases my prestige.

    Kinda like it when Im a little bit short to 3 bars with Doom and his aura and his fury are about to expire, I set SW as his relic champ. Good way to stack 2 furies for him. For other champs, Im kinda indifferent.

    Indifferent towards how they impact game play, but HATE how it’s distracting Kabam from improving basic parts of the game.

    I'm on the fence regarding the usefulness of the relics. Sometimes they're good, sometimes they're bad.

    My biggest issue is the Winter Soldier Relic that inflicts an Energy Vulnerability Debuff, despite minimal Skill champs have Energy Based Attacks

    It would have made more sense to give a boost to projectile based attacks, like bullets or arrows, like a precision passive is gained when the Champ uses a projectile based attack like guns or arrows

    Gambit relic on Nightcrawler is probably the first thing to make me change my mind on relics. I've noticed some nice improved bleeds with the bleed vulnerability.

    I dont mind relics, the combo extension is nice and definitely can help gameplay. The abilities are completely ignored except maybe a bleed vulnerability on Venom.

    Only thing i hate is how relics have replaced better prizes in side quests. Want my shards, awakening gems and catalysts back.

    You can't get something back that has never been taken away from us ... they haven't removed those things that we use to get from objectives, they've merged them into normal rewards and made the objectives relic oriented so that we can skip them if we want to. I don't do them, haven't done since they got introduced but I also haven't gotten less rewards than pre relic era

    They were meant to be a small increase to champion power, which they are. I like that, they are kinda fun.

    However the availability and upgrade cost is way too out of reach, compared to the bonus they have. I as a Paragon player would much rather spend 600k gold on upgrading a 5* champ, rather than pumping this sum into a 4* relic

    If somebody would ask me what is the most fitting description of relics, i would say: "Not exciting".
    The concept of collecting statue-like objects that resemble other champions and empower you with stats and small abilities that reference original character is not that bad, but execution is IMO poor.
    When you are in fighter selecting screen, relics are simply acting like background models, not doing anything but confusing you with their appearance that completely mimics model of existing champion.
    In battle they act like occasional combo extenders, and if they happen to interact with abilities of champion they also add some flavour to the combat, like using OG BP relic to add cruelty buff before going for Shang-chi's sp2. In general nothing fancy or flashy.
    Collection is only place where they actually have distinct look, but even that doesn't make it exciting to play with them or collect them.
    Having them is nice and i don't mind their existence, but i would prefer kabam to focus on more important aspects of the game such as: stability and performance, buggs across all modes, modders in competetive gamemodes, gamedesign of endgame content. And not stuff like ReVIvE sPAm

    Despite what Kabam says, relics just haven’t lived up to the hype. They currently don’t add much to the game, and not many players care about them. Kabam would have been better off using the resources spent on implementing relics into fixing the input issues running rampant across the game.

    Relics suck as most have them. They're unawakened rank 1 3 stars in a maxed out 6 (soon to be 7) star world. As fully realized 5 and 6 star relics, some of them would constitute a solid champ buff (Think Gorr's buff. The changes weren't worthless or extensive nonsense no one asked for, they were targeted and effective.) if they were incorporated into a champs kit and even have some "synergies".

    They sometimes give me an opening… when I go to parry and hit the button instead. Sometimes it gives the opponent an opening instead…
