The game's own text, ability level 1
RaidCodex explanationDamage
A battle effect, not a stat: it works in battle when its condition is met and never appears on the champion's stat screen. The relic's own three stats are different: they always count in the champion's stats.
Worked out from the kind of effect in the game's data (ChangeDamageMultiplier); not tested in battle.
Ability by level
The ability gets stronger as the relic levels up: ability level 2 at relic level 6, then 9, 12, 15 and level 6 at relic level 18. Each row is the game's own line for that level.
| Ability level | Relic level | The game's line | Value at this level |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | As in the ability text | 10% |
| 2 | 6 | Damage +5% | 15% |
| 3 | 9 | Damage +5% | 20% |
| 4 | 12 | Damage +5% | 25% |
| 5 | 15 | Damage +10% | 35% |
| 6 | 18 | Damage +15% | 50% |
The values are worked out from the game's skill data and agree with every line of the game's text.
Stats
These stats count in the champion's stats: the game's stat screen lists them in its "Relic" column.

Every relic uses the same stat table: a stat's value depends only on the relic's level. Rarity decides the starting rank, not the numbers. Each relic has three stats: the first works from level 0, the second from level 9 and the third from level 15.
Gemstone sockets
This relic has 3 sockets. A Gemstone only fits a socket of the same shape:
There are 5 different shapes of Gemstone, and they can only be inserted into Sockets that are the same shape.
Rank and level
Legendary Relic: starts at rank 3, which allows up to level 9. Each rank raises the maximum level by 3, up to rank 6 and level 18.
Ranking up a Relic allows to upgrade its Level further, increasing its stats and the strength of its Ability.
Relic Lore
Gracchos’ closest friend in the Imperial legions also became a Demon. The Shadow God demanded each prove their loyalty by killing the other. Gracchos won. His prize? His comrade’s skull, burning with Anathraad’s flames.
