Best relic for Jean Grey

I recently pulled and awakened Jean Grey and was wondering the best relic for her?
Google tells me it's Scream/Venom or Juggs but being a mutant I can't use them so that's obviously wrong.

Thanks, I have 3 5* domino statcast relics. No battlecast unfortunately.

Not sure the difference of the 3, they all look the same to me.

I'm still learning about relics, they weren't a thing when I stopped playing a few years ago.

To explain relics:

The most important thing about them is that they give you access to a striker, which lets you continue your combo after your normal combo-ender. You do a five-hit combo, throw a striker that has a few hits of its own, then get a "stun" (that always work, even if the defender is stun immune), and can do a new combo/heavy/special attack after that. You get this striker regardless of whether or not you're using Battlecasts or Statcasts.
So what's the difference between Battlecasts and Statcasts? It's pretty easy. Let's first explain Statcasts. They give your champion a little bump to their stats, on both attack and defense. So when people are recommending the Domino Statcast relic, it's because its primary stat is Energy Penetration, which makes a champion such as Jean (who relies on energy damage) deal more damage. All Domino Statcast relics have this Energy Penetration stat boost, but the difference between the three that you have is that they all have different secondary stat boosts. My three 5* Domino relics have Physical Penetration, Physical Resistance, and Armor as their respective secondary stat boosts.
Meanwhile, Battlecasts only work on attack but enhances your champion's abilities in some type of way. For example, the Gambit Battlecast increases your critical rating whenever you throw a special that deals physical damage. Not very good for Jean since she deals energy damage, but amazing for quite a few other mutant champions. You can tweak those Battlecast relics in a way that you can't with Statcasts, with runes that you can swap around to your liking.

I hope this helps!

You can use magneto relic if you don't have domino relic. It boost special attack and her damage is mainly special attacm

I have both domino and magneto 7* relic and testing on Winter Soldier I found the magneto relic helped Jean finish the fight about 3-4 seconds faster. I did 3 fights with each relic to test to get a rough average. So domino was around 40 seconds and 36-37 seconds with Magneto.

Sooo... Use whichever you prefer. I personally go for the bigger sp2 boost with Magneto.

Thank you @Ercarret and @WhoDaPoo for the info
