33 Immortals Relics

Relics shape each run through paths, effects, and run-level choices. Use this reference to compare relic path strategy, Duo Relics, Inner Fire, relic types, and practical relic directions without relying on fragile tier lists.

Quick Answer

Start with the problem your run needs to solve, then use the path table below. Early deaths usually point toward Mercy or Honor, low pressure points toward damage-facing paths, and weak team recovery points toward Mercy or Unity. Use rerolls, upgrades, Wishing, and Duo Relics only after that direction is clear.

What Relics Do in 33 Immortals

Relics are run-level powers that shape what your setup can do during a run. They are not the same thing as permanent perks or weapon mastery. A relic can push you toward survival, damage, healing, co-op power value, or a more specific build direction.

The safest way to evaluate relics is to ask what your current run needs. A strong relic on paper can be the wrong choice if it does not match your weapon role, group needs, or biggest failure point.

How to Use This Reference

Use this page in order: read the path table first, check the relic type, then use the run tools table for Relic Tokens, rerolls, upgrades, dismantling, and Relic Wishing. If you need a step-by-step decision flow, use the relics guide.

Exact relic values, returns, and proc behavior can change across updates, so this reference focuses on mechanics and decisions that remain useful after balance patches.

Relic Paths Reference

The v1.0 relic rework organizes relic identity around paths. Use paths as broad signals for what a relic is trying to support, then judge the specific relic by your weapon role and run problem.

Relic Path	Main Identity	Helps With	Build Direction	Beginner Note
Honor	Inner Fire, stability, damage, and damage reduction	Keeping a steadier presence in dangerous fights	Frontline, defensive melee, or stable pressure	Useful when you need durability before chasing narrow damage.
Malice	Critical hit payoff	Adding burst or technical damage when execution is reliable	High-skill damage, crit direction, technical weapons	Better after you can survive and avoid greedy attack windows.
Unity	Co-op power orbs and co-op power value	Creating team-facing momentum and group contribution	Support, control, team value, co-op power planning	Strong when the group needs consistency more than solo output.
Vainglory	Missile effects	Adding extra pressure while keeping safer target access	Ranged pressure, uptime, additional damage effects	Fits players who prefer safer spacing and readable pressure.
Revenge	Blast effects	Adding area payoff or high-risk pressure	Blast direction, melee pressure, risky payoff	Use carefully if you are still dying in close-range windows.
Mercy	Healing orbs, recovery, and stability	Recovering from mistakes and keeping runs from collapsing	Beginner survival, support, recovery, group stability	One of the clearest paths when early deaths are the main problem.

Relic Types Explained

Relic type matters because it changes how a path shows up in the run. Read this table before judging whether an offered relic solves your current problem through a trigger, a path boost, or a hybrid direction.

Relic Type / Signal	Best Use	Evaluate By	Common Mistake
Action Relics	Triggered value that fits the way your weapon and role actually play.	How often the trigger can happen safely, and whether it helps the run problem.	Picking a trigger your weapon rhythm rarely activates or cannot use under boss pressure.
Boost Relics	Reinforcing a path direction after that path is already represented in the run.	Whether the active path supports survival, pressure, recovery, co-op value, or a known build role.	Boosting a path just because it looks strong while your setup is solving a different problem.
Duo Relics	Hybrid plans after both paths are represented and support the same role or failure point.	Whether the two paths point toward one coherent build direction instead of unrelated payoffs.	Treating Duo as automatically better than a clear single-path relic.

Relic Type / Signal: Action Relics
Best Use: Triggered value that fits the way your weapon and role actually play.

Common Mistake: Picking a trigger your weapon rhythm rarely activates or cannot use under boss pressure.

Relic Type / Signal: Boost Relics
Best Use: Reinforcing a path direction after that path is already represented in the run.
Evaluate By: Whether the active path supports survival, pressure, recovery, co-op value, or a known build role.
Common Mistake: Boosting a path just because it looks strong while your setup is solving a different problem.

Common Mistake: Treating Duo as automatically better than a clear single-path relic.

Run Tools and Unlock Rules

After you know the path and type, use the system rules to decide whether to unlock, reroll, upgrade, dismantle, or wish. This table keeps those run tools separate from path identity.

System	What It Means	How to Use It
Relic drop	Runs can present relic choices that shape your current setup.	Evaluate the offered relics by path, trigger, and the problem your run needs to solve.
Relic Tokens	New relics still need their Relic Tokens before they can begin dropping during runs.	Treat tokens as an unlock gate before rerolling around a relic that never appears.
Reroll	Official v1.0 notes describe rerolling relic choices with Bones from the selection menu.	Reroll when both choices miss your survival, pressure, team value, or path direction.
Upgrade	Relics can be upgraded in rarity from the selection screen or inventory.	Upgrade stable core relics before speculative options that may not define the run.
Dismantle	Dismantling remains part of relic decision-making.	Treat dismantle as a recovery or cleanup option, not a solved optimization table.
Relic Wishing	Relic Wishing lets you spend Eternal Shards to wish for an Action Relic from a specific path before a run.	Use Wishing when you already know the path direction your weapon or build needs; v1.0 lists 10 Eternal Shards, one active wish, and up to three wishes on the same relic.

Choose by Run Problem

Start with the problem the run is showing you, then choose the relic path or type that solves it. This matrix is the practical bridge between the relic reference above and broader build strategy.

Run Problem	First Relic Direction	Why It Fits	Watch Out For	Build Direction
Dying early	Mercy, Honor, reliable recovery, stable defensive value	Early deaths usually mean the run needs recovery, durability, or clearer survival before payoff relics matter.	Do not chase crit, missile, or blast payoff if you leave fights before those effects matter.	Beginner survival or boss stability
Low pressure	Malice, Vainglory, Revenge, or a Boost Relic that reinforces your weapon role	If you already survive, pressure-facing paths can improve uptime, burst, area payoff, or target access.	Damage relics still need a weapon rhythm you can execute under pressure.	Ranged uptime or high-skill damage
Boss pressure	Honor, Mercy, Unity, or readable Duo synergy	Longer fights punish greed, missed revives, and fragile builds, so stability often beats narrow damage.	Normal-room speed does not prove the relic plan survives boss chaos.	Boss stability
Team recovery	Mercy, Unity, healing direction, co-op power value	Large-group runs can fail from weak recovery even when individual damage looks fine.	Do not evaluate the pick only by personal output if it prevents a group collapse.	Support and control
Resource or reroll uncertainty	Readable path value before speculative rerolls or vague best relic chasing	Rerolls and Wishing are stronger when you know which path solves the current run problem.	Spending resources without a target path can make the build less coherent.	Any focused build direction
Hybrid opportunity	Duo Relics where both paths solve the same problem	Hybrid direction works when the two path signals reinforce the same role, such as recovery plus team value.	Two paths are not automatically better if they pull the setup in unrelated directions.	Solo queue stability or support hybrid

Build Direction: Any focused build direction

Run Problem: Hybrid opportunity
First Relic Direction: Duo Relics where both paths solve the same problem
Why It Fits: Hybrid direction works when the two path signals reinforce the same role, such as recovery plus team value.
Watch Out For: Two paths are not automatically better if they pull the setup in unrelated directions.
Build Direction: Solo queue stability or support hybrid

Duo Relics and Inner Fire

Duo Relics are synergy checks, not automatic upgrades. They are strongest when both represented paths support the same run plan, such as recovery plus team value or pressure plus a weapon role you can execute.

Inner Fire is tracked here as part of the Honor path identity. Treat it as a durable-pressure signal for steadier presence, damage, and damage reduction, not as a standalone reason to ignore your survival needs, group needs, or weapon role.

Common Relic Mistakes

Copying old relic tier lists: 1.0 changed the relic system enough that old advice may be incomplete.
Picking damage while dying early: payoff relics need enough survival to matter.
Misreading Duo Relics: two paths are not automatically better if the hybrid direction does not solve your problem.
Rerolling without a goal: rerolls are more useful when you know which path or role you need.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What are relic paths?

Relic paths are broad relic categories such as Honor, Malice, Unity, Vainglory, Revenge, and Mercy. They describe the direction a relic supports, while individual relics are the specific effects you choose during a run.

What does this page cover?

This page covers relic paths and the main relic systems: Honor, Malice, Unity, Vainglory, Revenge, Mercy, Action Relics, Boost Relics, Duo Relics, Relic Tokens, rerolls, upgrades, dismantling, and Relic Wishing. Item-by-item numeric values are handled only when they have a clear public source or reliable cross-source confirmation.

What is Inner Fire in 33 Immortals?

Inner Fire is tracked here as part of the Honor path identity. Use it as a stability and durable-pressure signal rather than a standalone reason to ignore your weapon role, survival needs, or current run problem.

What are Duo Relics?

Duo Relics connect two relic paths and support hybrid directions. They are best when both path signals solve the same run problem, such as pairing recovery with team value or pressure with a weapon role you can execute.

Should I always pick damage relics?

No. Damage relics are useful only if you can survive long enough to benefit from them. New players often gain more from stable survival, recovery, and readable value.

Are relics permanent upgrades?

Relics should be treated as run-level choices, not the same thing as permanent perk or mastery progression.

Does this page list exact relic values?

This page focuses on stable relic decisions rather than patch-fragile number tables. Exact values are included only when they have a clear source trail and can be reviewed after updates.
