RAID: Shadow Legends Ultimate Relics Guide: Crafting & Best Picks in 2025

In RAID: Shadow Legends, relics do play an amazing role in providing you with useful abilities and bonuses. They can help you do the best from your champions, and now, if you want to enhance your power, make sure that you are well aware of what they are, how to craft them and their best picks in 2025. For that, this guide covers everything you need to know about relics, obtaining methods, crafting probabilities, and the best relics to prioritize.

What Are Relics?

As we already mentioned, relics are unique gear items that your champions can use and equip to gain stat bonuses and special abilities. These are not similar to your usual artifacts and accessories as they are more than that for increasing the champions’ performance, boosting survivability, damage output, or utility. Relics can be upgraded if you want, and you can customize them. They do have different ranks as well as rarities.

What makes relics unique from your traditional gears are:

• Stat Bonuses: Relics provide primary stats, and there are even substats here that can enhance champion performance.

• Unique Abilities: Each relic has a specific ability like triggering effects and skills activated in certain scenarios.

• Gemstone Customization: Relics have sockets for gemstones, which add ive abilities to further enhancements for their effects.

• Rarity and Rank: Relics come in rarities as well as ranks, which determine their strength and socket count.

 

Complete Mechanism of Relics

There are different mechanisms that are associated with relics in RAID: Shadow Legends, depending on how you use them. So, if you are a RAID: Shadow Legends beginner, this is a breakdown of the entire mechanism you are trying to go along with.

 

Attributes

Relics provide a primary stat and up to four substations for your hero, and this depends on rarity. Common stats for the relics can be included with

• HP, ATK, DEF, SPD, ACC, RES, C.DMG, C.RATE

There are also substats and those will be unlocked in certain milestones from the gameplay during different upgrades.

 

Abilities

Each relic has a unique ability, and these are not going to be changed under any circumstance. Every ability is going to be scaled with the level and the rank of your relic, and the more you upgrade, the stronger they are going to become, too.

Some of the best examples of abilities from the relics we can provide you here with are:

• Placing a [Magma Shield] buff when losing HP.

• Granting a [Fervor] buff when healing allies.

Triggering extra turns or turn meter boosts under specific conditions.

 

Rarities and Ranks of Relics

As we already said, relics are categorized into four rarities and their ranks for each with their respective abilities can be listed as follows.

• Rare: Rank 1, 1 socket, basic abilities.

• Epic: Rank 2, 2 sockets, stronger abilities.

• Legendary: Rank 3, 3 sockets, powerful abilities.

• Mythical: Rank 4, 4 sockets, game-changing abilities.

Please note that the rarity here is fixed and is the sole method to determine the relic’s starting rank, socket count, and ability strength. Then, there are six ranks for the relics, and if there are higher ranks, those can increase stat values, ability potency, and maximum level as follows.

• Rank 1 (Rare): Max Level 8

• Rank 2 (Epic): Max Level 12

• Rank 3 (Legendary): Max Level 16

• Rank 4 (Mythical): Max Level 20

• Rank 5: Max Level 24

• Rank 6: Max Level 30

 

Gemstones in RAID: Shadow Legends

Relic sockets in RAID: Shadow Legends have Gemstones included in them, and these are there to grant you additional ive abilities. Some of the most useful additional ive skills are included with double attacks, damage multiplier and more. that whatever gemstones are there with the relic need to be matched with the socket shape, or else it won’t fit.

On the other hand, if the rarity is higher here, it means the effects that are coming out of the relic will also be higher. So, try to earn more gemstones from events, Chimera battles, clan shops, as well as from the forge rewards.

 

What are Relic Groups

In RAID: Shadow Legends, relics are divided into groups as well, and this categorization will always be based on crafting materials and sources:

So, here are the groups of relics with each required material for the crafting.

• Standard Group: Crafted with any materials. Most common (50% crafting chance). Includes 4 Rare, 3 Epic, 2 Legendary, 2 Mythical relics.

• Chimera Group: Ocular Masses are required here to craft theese from Chimera battles. Includes 4 Rare, 3 Epic, 2 Legendary, and 2 Mythical relics, generally stronger than Standard.

• Clan Group: Crafted with Gilded Medallions from the Clan Shop. Includes 2 Rare, 2 Epic, 2 Legendary, 2 Mythical relics.

• Event Group: Crafted with event-specific materials. Limited-time availability.

• Live Arena Group: Live Arena materials are required to craft these. Includes 2 Rare, 2 Epic, 2 Legendary, 2 Mythical relics.

 

How to Obtain More RAID: Shadow Legends Relics? 

Since relics have such an amazing role to play in gaining strength, it is better if you focus more on collecting them. So, there are several in-game activities that you can focus on here to craft both relics and their crafting materials as follows.

 

Chimera Clan Boss

The Chimera is a Clan Boss introduced in Patch 10.00, and you can access it after level 33+ in a clan. It has four forms, Ultimate, Ram, Lion and Viper, and every form comes here with some unique mechanics and cycles to be refreshed for every five turns. Here, if you managed to beat the Chimera or dealing sufficient damage to them, it yields Chimera Chests containing Ocular Masses: crafting materials for Chimera Relics,  Starstones, Basalt, and gemstones and Champion fragments for Mythical Champion Embrys the Anomaly.

 

Clan Shop

A clan shop is also another way of collecting more relics in RAID: Shadow Legends. There are Gilded Medallions here that you can use to craft your relics, and you can craft two clan relics from Mythical, Legendary, Epic and Rare, respectively. You can buy things from the clan shop by earning the currency by playing clan tasks.

 

Events

Events are also guaranteed to provide more relics during time-limited in-game events. And you are allowed to craft them in events using event-specific materials. that the event materials here will be varied from one event to another and you have to collect them by completing event tasks as well as by collecting rewards.  that the Relics have a maximum 50% crafting probability, similar to other groups too here.

 

Forging

You can use different materials from different sources and then craft relics. Once you achieve level 30, you will be offered a free relic and materials from Rare, Epic, Legendary, or Mythical materials from Chimera, Clan Shop, events, or other activities will be forged here.

 

Other Sources for Collecting Relics

Other than these primary methods, there are also other ways to collect more RAID: Shadow Legends relics as follows.

• Live Arena: you are allowed to collect materials for Live Arena Relics here.

• Forge : Seasonal es provide crafting materials, Starstones, and gemstones.

• Market: Occasionally offers relics or materials, refreshed hourly.

• Campaign/Dungeons: May drop materials in future updates, though currently limited.

 

How to Craft RAID: Shadow Legends Relics?

The process of crafting relics isn’t always easy, and there is a lengthy process to follow here. And here is how it works.

1. Select Materials: the first step is to choose crafting materials from any source

2. Mix and Match: then combine materials of different rarities and groups. Higher-rarity materials increase the chance of crafting higher-rarity relics.

3. Craft: Spend materials to craft a relic. The outcome is random but influenced by material rarity and group.

 

Crafting Probability for Relics

• 50% Standard Relics: Regardless of the materials used, there’s a 50% chance of crafting a Standard Group relic. The remaining 50% is split among other groups (e.g., Chimera, Clan, Event) based on the materials used.

• Rarity Odds: Using higher-rarity materials (e.g., Mythical) increases the likelihood of crafting Epic, Legendary, or Mythical relics, but Rare relics are still possible.

• Example: Using only Ocular Masses (Chimera materials) gives a 50% chance for Standard Relics and 50% for Chimera Relics. Mixing Ocular Masses with Gilded Medallions splits the non-standard chance between Chimera and Clan Relics.

• Strategy: Stockpile Mythical materials (e.g., 100 or 4 sets of 25) to maximize the chance of crafting Legendary or Mythical relics, as lower-rarity materials dilute the odds.
