2-piece or 4-piece?
Depends on the character: some only need the 2-piece bonus (mixing with another set), others need the full 4-piece to benefit from the main effect — check the two character lists above to see which group you fall into.
Priority substats
Derived from the recommended substats of characters currently using this set (Seele, Archer, Silver Wolf):
CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG > ATK% > SPD

Sub-stats — value of one roll (5★)
Every +3 levels grants one roll, landing randomly on one of the three values below. These are the true values added to your stats; the in-game panel shows them rounded down.
| Stat | Low | Mid | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| HP | 33.9 | 38.1 | 42.3 |
| ATK | 16.9 | 19.1 | 21.2 |
| DEF | 16.9 | 19.1 | 21.2 |
| HP | 3.5% | 3.9% | 4.3% |
| ATK | 3.5% | 3.9% | 4.3% |
| DEF | 4.3% | 4.9% | 5.4% |
| SPD | 2 | 2.3 | 2.6 |
| CRIT Rate | 2.6% | 2.9% | 3.2% |
| CRIT DMG | 5.2% | 5.8% | 6.5% |
| Effect Hit Rate | 3.5% | 3.9% | 4.3% |
| Effect RES | 3.5% | 3.9% | 4.3% |
| Break Effect | 5.2% | 5.8% | 6.5% |
What main stat to run, by role
| Body | Feet | Planar Sphere | Link Rope | Sub-stat priority | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Main DPS | CRIT Rate or CRIT DMG | ATK% or SPD | the character's own Elemental DMG Boost | ATK% (or Break Effect for a break-focused kit) | CRIT comes first — aim for roughly a 1:2 ratio of CRIT Rate to CRIT DMG — then ATK%, then SPD. |
| Healer | HP% or Outgoing Healing Boost | HP% | HP% | Energy Regeneration Rate or HP% | HP% first, then SPD — healing output scales off the target's Max HP. |
| Tank / Shielder | DEF% or Effect Hit Rate | DEF% or SPD | DEF% | DEF% or Energy Regeneration Rate | DEF% first, then Effect Hit Rate, then SPD. |
| Support | No safe default — depends on the character's kit, check that character's page | SPD, almost always correct | No safe default — depends on the character's kit, check that character's page | Energy Regeneration Rate | SPD first; add Effect Hit Rate if the character applies debuffs. |
This is a default framework, not a hard rule. Some characters break from it because of their own kit — for example a support that needs CRIT DMG or Break Effect instead of Energy Regeneration Rate. Always check that character's page before locking in a set.
Basic rules you need before picking Relics
- Head always rolls flat HP, Hands always roll flat ATK — no need to check the main stat on these two, just look at the substats.
- Only Feet can roll SPD as a main stat; only the Link Rope can roll Energy Regeneration Rate as a main stat.
- A substat never duplicates that piece's own main stat, and the four substats never duplicate each other.
- Each piece caps at 4 substats. Every +3 upgrade grants one roll — either unlocking a new substat line or boosting an existing one at random.
- Enhancement cap by rarity: 2-star +6, 3-star +9, 4-star +12, 5-star +15. Starting substat count: 3-star 1–2 lines, 4-star 2–3 lines, 5-star 3–4 lines.
- The main stat is NOT random — at the level cap it's always the exact same fixed number. Only substats roll randomly.
- Quick filter trick: enhance to +9 and you already see enough substat quality to decide keep-or-salvage — don't burn all your resources to +15 before judging.
Should you keep or salvage this piece?
- Wrong main stat for the slot (e.g. an HP% Sphere on a Lightning DPS) → salvage it right away, don't get attached.
- Right main stat but the 4 substats don't have even one line of CRIT Rate / CRIT DMG / SPD (for a DPS role) → low value, salvage first.
- Right main stat plus at least 2 substats you actually need from the start → enhance to +9 and reassess — this piece is worth investing in.
Where can you get Relics?
- Cavern of Corrosion — the main source of the 4 Cavern Relic pieces, with 6 difficulty tiers tied to your account's Equilibrium Level; the higher your Equilibrium Level, the thicker the 5-star drop rate.
- Simulated Universe — source of the 2 Planar Ornament pieces, only unlocked from World 3 onward.
- Divergent Universe — a second source for Planar Ornaments, separate from the Simulated Universe.
- Operation Briefing — clearing these objectives also pays out Relics and related materials.
- In-game shops — some vendors sell full 4-piece sets directly for in-game currency.
- Treasure chests scattered across the main story maps.
- Story quest rewards, plus milestone rewards for leveling up your Trailblaze Level.
Relics unlock during the Belobog story arc. To target the exact set and slot you need instead of farming blind, use the Omni-Synthesizer: it runs on Relic Remains, which you get by salvaging Relics you don't use. The machine unlocks from Equilibrium Level 3 onward.
Every piece & its lore
Genius's Ultraremote Sensing VisorHead
Genius's Ultraremote Sensing VisorA pair of communication goggles embedded with ultraremote sensing technology that breaks through the shackles of limited transmission and remote distances.
Social interaction is indeed a burden for most people, even more so for geniuses traveling between worlds.
Elias Salas, member 56 and the second head of the Genius Society once tried to resolve this problem. He ardently prepared communication goggles equipped with ultraremote sensing capabilities for all members. Although he succeeded in establishing a bridge between the most distant of stars, few were willing to connect. Thus, the universe's greatest-ever communication device was never fully utilized.
"'Da numba you hab dialed is not in sewvice.' Can't you just show a bit more commitment when you pretend to be an AI...?"
Elias Salas sighed and understood that this indeed was a huge ask. But he's got to give it a try, believing his technology would one day have its use one way or another.
Genius's Frequency CatcherHands
Genius's Frequency CatcherA pair of gloves equipped with a precision frequency-capture device, which enables direct manipulation of otherwise-intangible sound and light vibrations.
He made a pair of gloves that could capture specific frequencies and the escaping sound and light, allowing himself the pleasure of researching the stringed instruments behind the frequency fence.
This technology could capture and confine all light and sounds within the designated area, and was simply inexplicable within the current confines of Aiden classic sciences. It was indeed an outstanding invention that could change the course of science to say the least, but Stephen had no interest in introducing this technology to the public. After all, to him, it was just a toy he made to loaf on the job.
"Stephen, I don't know exactly what you've done, but you're definitely slacking off, right?"
Even though Stephen Lloyd was celebrated as a genius among geniuses, to his foster father, Stephen was just a child that liked fantasizing and goofing around.
Genius's Metafield SuitBody
Genius's Metafield SuitDiving-suit-like attire that envelops the body when activated, sending neural signals from your whole body to the metafield in real time.
For these creatures that were unable to travel between worlds, this collective dream domain granted them a chance to connect with one another and seek peace and tranquility that were non-existent in the real world.
Within this metafield of virtual data, these creatures created countless cultural assets, and a new order was quietly established. Just when it looked like this virtual eden would finally replace reality, Sserkal the Net Weaver of all Creation cut off the connection to the consciousness network, as if it had been one big joke. The entire metafield suddenly sank into silence.
"All those investors who would yammer about metafield space all day have all gone mad. The industry has been empowered countless times, but now the metafield is gone."
People are prone to any supposition when they lose something. The metafield might have been designed to be a petri dish for the soul. Inviting creatures of various kinds might just be a ruse for getting free soul samples.
Genius's Gravity WalkerFeet
Genius's Gravity WalkerA wearable gravity-capture device. It is shaped like a pair of ice skates that reflects the stars' twinkling lights during quick gliding.
Dr. Primitive seemed to enjoy the thrill of being pursued, always keeping a carefully managed distance from those who were hunting him, never too close to be caught nor too far to be untraceable.
He applied some kind of gravity-capture technology to his escape where he was able to use gravity to wander freely across space. Astrophysicists from the Intelligentsia Guild could not understand the principles of this technology, so they merely assumed that it was something to do with the gravitational potential difference between stars. His pursuers riding in vehicles of the gravity era struggled to catch up to his speed, swearing to bring him to justice.
"Watching someone spacewalking should've been a feast for the eyes," a Galaxy Ranger said. "Too bad, that 'someone' is Dr. Primitive."
The Galaxy Ranger still refused to believe in Dr. Primitive's presumptive death and continued the hunt for him even after he had completely vanished.

How to read this relic set page
Cavern Relics have 4 pieces: Head and Hand always carry fixed flat stats (HP and ATK), so only Body and Feet have a random main-stat you actually choose. The 2-piece effect unlocks with 2 out of 4 pieces from the same set; the 4-piece effect is stronger but needs all 4 and usually has its own trigger condition — read the exact text above before committing. Planar Ornaments only have 2 pieces (Planar Sphere + Link Rope) and only ever have one 2-piece effect, there is no 4-piece version.
The two types also differ in where you get them: Cavern Relics drop from the Cavern of Corrosion and cost Trailblaze Power per run; Planar Ornaments come from the Simulated Universe or Divergent Universe, which do NOT cost Trailblaze Power — you trade for them with items or completion rewards instead. A full loadout usually combines one 4-piece Cavern set (or two different Cavern sets at 2 pieces each) with one 2-piece Planar set — go 4-piece when that set gives a large, reliable damage buff, and mix 2+2 when you need to stack several smaller stats (e.g. ATK% from one set plus Elemental DMG% from another).
The "who should use this" list is pulled from cross-sourced build consensus and updates automatically as the meta shifts, it is not hand-picked. See the full set table on the Relics page, or check terms in the HSR Glossary.
