Bestest of relics

[titanopteryx]

What are some of the best relics to have at my base? There's a guide on steam with some of them but a lot are missing. It is a helpful guide though.

I love the +% Critical Chance and +Accuracy items there. Power regeneration or power steal is also very useful for those costly multitarget spells. One gives you +1 Power Steal and in best case this is a 6 power discount against 6 enemies. Probably it's best to use relics which bonuses are difficult to obtain on gear and especially difficult to get for 4 characters. The Book of Dread Relic is also good. It gives +5% Loot Quality but for 4 characters it sums up to +20%. Evasion can be good if you want to build up an agile team which already focuses on having high evasion. +10 Evasion for sb. who already has +50 means that an enemy with 100 accurracy(when 5 Evasion equals 10%) hits with a 20% lowered chance, not just 10%.

Thank you for the reply. What about the relic from the quest to collect monster heads that boosts legendary resistance? I'm gonna look at what relics I got to see what I can plug in there.

It gives useful stats. I don't see a reason to not pick it actually, especially when you like to level up all kind of characters. The XP bonus and the extra accuracy is what you might want when using this relic. From the Legendary monsters heads I actually only use Medusa's for the stun chance. It makes the Retribution tree having a 100% stun chance with this, the 75% passive for critical and +20% from his fighting style. Stun chance is good even if you don't go higher than 10-20%.

Personally, I like relics that give +quickness but will remove all others once I get Time's Arrow. I also like relics that boost resistances.

I also like miasmic embrace and pet nekoatl but those might not be for everyone. (I love stacking DoTs.)

Here's a list of the relics I use. Keep in mind I run an INT-heavy team that wants to stack poison and drain the opponent's mana. Order is, somewhat, based on importance to me.

1.) Miasmic Embrace - being able to stack poison is game altering.
2.) Entropy's Advocate - that Power steal is deceptively good. AoEs will often return 3-6 mana, and it can help lock an opponent out of combat if they are under Scorched Earth and Afraid.
3.) Stonethrone's Reach - because missing attacks is annoying.
4.) Time's Arrow - Quickness is the most important stat in the game.
5.) N-Dimensional Hypercube - for the +2 Power regen
6.) Tyrant's Blade - the maximum power helps offset the penalties of using multiple artifacts.
7.) Medalion of the Legendary Hunter - mainly for the accuracy, but the resists could be useful in those fights.
8.) Manticore's Head - for the +1 Power regen
9.) Gorgon's Head - stun evasion is good and it comes with a small chance to cause stuns.
10.) Amenonuhoko - just some passive healing.
