Relics in Honkai: StarRail - special items of equipment that are used to increase the characteristics of the character and endow him with additional passive skills that are useful in battle. They are an important component in compiling assemblies, as they have a direct impact on the combat capability of not only an individual hero, but the entire team. By analogy with Genshin impact they represent artifacts, with primary and secondary stats.
This guide will let you know everything about relics: how to get them, upgrade them, and which characters need certain sets.
How to open relics in Honkai: Star Rail
The relic system opens when completing the Yarilo-6 storyline as part of the quest "How many have fallen into this abyss". To do this, you must complete the "Investigate the Unrest in the Mine" stage and talk to Natasha.
What are relics in Honkai: Star Rail: types, types and characteristics
A relic is a piece of equipment that enhances characters and provides additional stat points to their base stats based on type, quantity, and rarity, and gives the character special abilities for 2 and 4 pieces of the set.
Types
There are 2 types of relics in the game - cave relics and planar ornaments:
- Cave relics (main) can be placed in the slot of the head, arms, body and legs. They give the effect of 2 and 4 parts in one set.
- Planar decorations (optional) - accessories that fit in the slots of the Planar Sphere and the Connecting Rope. These relics only have 2 effects in the set.
Each set provides the wearer with versatile buffs and effects, but some also have unique core stats not found in other sets. For example, only Planar Sphere provides elemental damage bonuses.

At Honkai Star Rail, the relics belong to one of 6 types, and also have 1 main and up to 4 auxiliary characteristics (sub-stats).
Cave relics are divided into 4 types with the following main stats:

Auxiliary characteristics are additional increases displayed under the main stat. When pumping a relic, a random sub-stat appears or increases. Depending on the level of the artifact, there can be from 1 to 4 of them, however, they cannot be exactly the same as the main characteristic. That is, if % attack power fell out in the relic "Body", then it will not appear in additional stats.
In total there are 12 auxiliary characteristics, including percentage and flat values:
- Attack power (% and flat).
- HP (% and flat).
- Protection (% and flat).

In short, I have this question. I gave my character a full set, raised the cone to level 5 overlay and fully pumped up the traces, but the chance of Crit and damage did not increase. And when I go to other guys to look at their builds, they have everything the same as mine, but the crit and damage characteristics are higher. How to understand this?
Everything depends on the relics, change the relics and their stats. Even if the relics are the same, their stats will be different. You can pump up speed, you can crit. damage, etc.
In the synthesis of relics, you can adjust the stats that you need, I pumped up the speed of all the Persians there with the help of boots and a speed stat.
Everyone is writing guides, making videos about what relics to install, how to select them, where to farm, and I haven’t seen a single guide about which legendary relics can be safely disassembled and which ones to keep, and this is very relevant now. There are only 1500 places, when it ends, I, with a creaking heart, lay down to drain a hundred and after a couple of weeks everything repeats itself))
Does the Crit buff from the Broken Keel set stack in a team if on several characters?
what are the maximum characteristics?
Where can I get a rope for speed?
Nowhere. For speed, the main stat is only legs. You can only catch in a rope with a sub-stat
The game is super!
What to do with upgraded relics that are not needed?
Smash
when trying to disassemble relics, the upgraded ones are not shown for some reason
Do you understand how to remove artifacts?
And how many credits do you need to upgrade one relic by +15?
Not much, with credits there is no gap in HR up to rank 60+ (I have rank 59)
From what level of development will 5 stars of relics be guaranteed to drop?
3 or 4
Is it worth it to put a set of new arts with an increase in speed on yuikun, because she always needs to be active so that there would be a buff on cr?
It is worth
The question is what is better to put on the ground? 1 build. On the green there is a full set of wheat and there is an increase in quantum damage from the Celestial Differentiator chain, but the crits do not correspond to the ratio of 1/2 those
36/150. 2 Assembly 2 + 2 two sets of quantum damage and two of wheat, while the ATK almost does not change, but the Crit damage drops quite strongly 68/105 chain is the same, which is better? The question is whether to change the chain with a bonus to Crit damage per Crit chance or wait for a new set of chains and then play with the second assembly 2/68?
Although I’m 8 months late, I would put 4pcs of genius diamond stars and planars…. Whatever they are called, in general for a skill and base buff. attacks. The cloak would have a chance for crit, because... 70% crit chance is quite difficult in extra. stats to type (but not impossible). In general, as for me, without a 90%+ crit chance, a Persian never crits)
Can you please tell me how exactly the relic bonuses work? The question is. My general is wearing salsotto planarks, it says that if the ksh is higher than or equal to 50, then an increase is given to the damage of superpowers and bonus attacks, but if the general has, say, 40 ksh, a trace is triggered in battle, which increases ksh by 10% and becomes the same 50 required to get a damage bonus, will the set effect work in battle?
Yes, if during the battle you get the necessary buffs and the KS reaches the required value, all bonuses are activated)
Thank you so much, I already broke my head)
Does the chance of "DROP" four, not three, but four sub-state relic/planar ukr (5 star relic/planar urk) increase with the difficulty level of the corrosion cave/virtual universe? Or whatever they are called..
As far as we know, the level of the cave or the universe does not affect this. Only for the very rarity. Dropping four stats always happens randomly.
The Genius of the Diamond Stars I think it will be great for a silver wolf
Perfect for Zele in mono-quantum with Silver Wolf)
hello, someone tell me where the knight’s art is, I wanted to put it on a cheetah, but I can’t find a dungeon with them anywhere. I'm at rank 26.
It will open when you get to Lofu Sanzhou (The next planet, so to speak)
thanks a lot
It is very strange that there is no chanterelle in the recommendations for the wheat set, these set bonuses are purely for it: the skill depends on the attack power, we use the skill once every 3 turns, which means we use the basic attack often, + speed because it should be the first to resemble. and electro does not suit her well, just better than nothing.
Thanks for the comment! You are right, we will add it to the recommendations for the set.
Why do you need speed at all? :_)
Just a couple of minutes ago they published an article about speed 🙂
https://wotpack.ru/skorost-v-honkai-star-rail-kak-rabotaet-porjadok-dejstvij/
Everything is detailed there.
please tell me, is “Speed” a substitute for the relic or does it come as a separate one? I just have never come across it, only as a substitute in other relics.
Only Legs have speed as a main stat. And so, as a sub-stat, it can fall out anywhere
And from what rank do legendary artifacts become available?
why did I go through this story but they did not appear ..
did not appear in the character menu either? what is your rank?
Such a question is how to open a kprozia cave or at what rank or where to get the quest
Probably by the end of the story on Yarilo 6. We will add information to the guide as soon as we know for sure.
At what rank can you get them?
Hello. Rank does not affect this. Relics are opened as part of the quest “How many of them fell into this abyss” - this is the plot task of Yarilo VI. They indicated this in the article in the "How to get" section.
Thank you! The article seems super for me, a person who did not pass the beta test and looked at the reviews from those who went through the beta a little 🙂
