Players of Honkai: Star Rail are up in arms over the game’s relic system, claiming it is both unrewarding and restrictive. The two types of relic sets in the game, Planar Ornaments and Cavern Relics, play a crucial role in character builds. Planar Ornaments offer additional gear and rare stats, while Cavern Relics enhance main stats like HP and ATK with a powerful 4-piece effect.
Many players have taken to Reddit to express their frustration with the relic system, with some feeling that a lot of relic pieces go to waste. Suggestions for reworks include the ability to alter relic stats and more uses for Self-Modeling Resins. One player, Swift311, completed a triple-reward Planar Ornament event but could only obtain two useful pieces, calling for improvements from the HoYo team.
The need for a rework in the relic system is a common sentiment among players, who feel that it hampers their gameplay experience. Some are advocating for Self-Modeling Resins to have more utility, such as being able to reforge relics. As players navigate the challenging endgame modes like Cavern of Corrosion and Simulated Universe to farm relics, the demand for a more rewarding and flexible relic system continues to grow.
In a recent leak, two new relic sets are rumored to be released in version 2.2 of Honkai: Star Rail, promising to enhance Crit DMG and all DMG dealt for a few turns. Players can expect these Cavern Relics to be available in the upcoming version, adding more depth and strategy to their gameplay. As the community awaits these changes, the call for a revamped relic system in Honkai: Star Rail grows louder.
