You can switch relics

[Chf. Squiggy McBooty]

This includes keeping the active skills, however many points you put into them. I'm looking into passives. That is all.

i dont know what you are trying to say but by my understanding, you cant change or switch relics around.

[Chf. Squiggy McBooty]

Yes you can, and the method is hilariously, stupidly easy. You just go to a manikin and... Switch All. I discovered it while swapping gear between my two captains. Ruby was created with BD, and Eisling was created with Electrode.

Ruby with Electrode. Note that she still has all of her BD actives:

Ruby back to BD. She still has the Electrode shield:

Character select between swaps. Ruby has Electrode, and poor Eisling has no relic at all. The BD is currently stashed in the manikin:

Finally, Eisling, in-game, showing she has no relic at all:

When you do this, the points you have put into other relics stay there, so the in-game skill point counter displays an incorrect total value (how many you should have minus the number of points you've put into other relics). It's completely possible to have, say, BD's shield, Electrode's amazing Chaotic Strikes, and FD's ultimate. I still need to test whether this works with passive skills, and if it works with other characters. However, the fact remains: you can switch relics.

Omfg, they forgot to remove the relic slot from the mannequins when they removed the reliquary :D Now people losing their relics makes so much more sense!

The first time I've been happy a game has bad development.

So after some light testing, I've only been able to reproduce this on cursed captain. Bit of a bummer, seeing as she's the most OP/least dependent on basic attacks.

[Elveone]

Oh, you can make a great CC basic attack build.

[Chf. Squiggy McBooty]

Yeah, but why would you when you can just legendary plunderbuss your way to instant victory?

Cause you can basic attack your way to instant victory?

[Chf. Squiggy McBooty]

I really don't think a basic attack is going to clear the entire screen, but okay.
