Characters Who Use This Set
2-piece or 4-piece?
Based on current data, 2 pieces are enough — no character is recorded as needing the full 4-piece bonus of this set, so you can mix it with another set on the remaining slots.

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
Scholar's Silver-Rimmed MonocleHead
Scholar's Silver-Rimmed MonocleA crystal monocle reflecting a grand building, demonstrating its owner's sophistication and erudition along with the cane, bracelet, and brooch.
[Name] Crystal monocle
[Key Feature] Displays evident fractures
[Location] Bohdan laboratory in the Energy Research Lab, Ohioti Central Academy of Sciences
[Individual Involved] Bohdan, the Chief Scientist in the energy analysis field and member No. #7 of the Genius Society.
[Site Analysis]
The traces on the site indicate that the subject inadvertently triggered a reaction while operating the observation device, leading to Phlogiston leakage from the vessel and severe injury to the subject's left hand. During the incident, the monocle fell from a height and was fractured.
[Supplementary Testimony]
Bohdan mentioned abnormal visual light emissions in the monocle during experimentation, resulting in a series of coincidences that eventually led to the Phlogiston leak.
The testimony was deemed inadmissible due to an excessive number of coincidences mentioned by the witness.
[Additional Information]
Suspected as a premeditated criminal act. However, the cascading coincidences creating the Butterfly Effect did not constitute a reproducible criminal method, therefore this event was ultimately classified as an accident.
[Recording]
"...This accident is actually a blessing in disguise, because it sent Lambda back to me again. Actually, this is our fourth remarriage... and it's a bit embarrassing to say, but this is MY first proposal for a remarriage." Sourced from Bohdan.
Scholar's Auxiliary KnuckleHands
Scholar's Auxiliary KnuckleAn exoskeleton crafted from an alloy that aids finger movements, tailored to the user's hand and of significant value.
[Name] Finger exoskeleton infused with Grayseal Gold alloy
[Key Feature] Displays signs of external damage. Confirmed to have been damaged before the explosion
[Location] Central control room, polar energy excavation site
[Individual Involved] Lambda (deceased), the best scientist in bio-wave detection science and member No. #8 of the Genius Society.
[Site Analysis]
Surveillance footage indicates the subject's improper operation led to a volatile explosion in the central control room, which immediately killed the subject.
[Supplementary Testimony]
"God knows what secrets she's been hiding, but if anything happens to her, Klein definitely has something in it!"
Two weeks prior to the explosion, Bohdan filed a report, stating that a thug had harmed his wife's disabled right hand. However, Lambda, the actual victim, declined further investigation and withdrew the case.
[Additional Information]
After the explosion, the subject's husband requested to retrieve the exoskeleton along with the subject's finger bones once the investigation was over.
Given the string of incredible coincidences in this incident, this case is recommended for high priority.
[Recording]
"Come to me, Klein! We've got to settle this score! Both you and I know well there are no such things as 'coincidences' in this world, let alone this unbelievable string of them."Sourced from the security system in Klein's house.
Scholar's Tweed JacketBody
Scholar's Tweed JacketTweed jackets paired with knitwear are a commonplace attire at the academy. For visiting scholars, its durable fabric is an ideal choice.
[Name] Tweed jacket, coarse spun wool vest, and white shirt
[Key Feature] Displays an 8-centimeter Phlogiston burn mark on the left chest
[Location] Bohdan laboratory in the Energy Research Lab, Ohioti Central Academy of Sciences
[Individual Involved] Bohdan (Deceased), the best scientist in the energy analysis field and member No. #7 of the Genius Society.
[Site Analysis]
The traces on the site indicate that the Grayseal Gold pellets carried by the subject absorbed a substantial amount of Phlogiston, resulting in a temperature spike of nearly 1,000 degrees Celsius near the subject's heart, leaving burn marks on the jacket, vest, and shirt.
Half of an unburnt finger bone was found in the burnt area, identified as originating from Lambda or related to the high-purity Grayseal Gold pellets.
[Supplementary Testimony]
"...We should have been more caring about him, especially considering he never truly let go of his wife's death..."
According to other scholars at the lab, Bohdan, who devised the safety manual specifications, should not have made such a "simple mistake."
[Additional Information]
Grayseal Gold is a rare alloy developed by Klein, member No. #9 of the Genius Society, known for its ability to absorb and store Phlogiston.
When a series of coincidences pile up, does that still count as a coincidence?
[Relevant Document]
"It is strictly forbidden to bring high-purity Grayseal Gold alloy products into laboratories with Phlogiston observation areas." Excerpted from the Energy Research Laboratory Safety Manual.
Scholar's Felt SnowbootsFeet
Scholar's Felt SnowbootsThese cozy and stylish women's boots have accompanied their owner on polar expeditions for years, being perfectly in-fashion when paired with calf-length pants.
[Name] Women's snow boots for polar expeditions
[Key Feature] Displays evident signs of wear and repair, with a hidden disk in the sole. Possibilities of espionage have been preliminarily ruled out
[Location] Basement of Klein's House
[Individual Involved] Klein (deceased), the best scientist in alloy material science and member No. #9 of the Genius Society.
[Site Analysis]
A huge number of items belonging to the late scientist Lambda were found in Klein's home, including the these boots.
[Supplementary Testimony]
"Maybe I was wrong about him... I mean, Klein. As for my late wife, Lambda... She's been away from me for a long while, and I just feel... unfamiliar about her."
Bohdan was unaware of his wife's belongings in Klein's home but displayed no visible surprise upon discovery.
[Additional Information]
Klein's residence is located in a remote area with no visitors around the time of death as determined by the coroner. The preliminary diagnosis is accidental death.
Bohdan, Lambda, and Klein shared a unique relationship and the series of "coincidences" they experienced border on supernatural phenomena.
[Recording]
"*Sigh* I know you doubt me, Bohdan, and I know I can't prove my innocence to you. I'm very sorry for what happened to Lambda. I feel guilty, but I'm the last one who would ever deliberately harm her... In fact, I have some leads about the murderer's identity. Have you ever heard of the Lord of Silence?... *noise*" Sourced from the disk hidden in the boots.

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.
