Match the trigger to the build
| Official wiki category | Ask this question | Who should inspect it |
|---|---|---|
| Passive | Is the effect always useful for this route? | Any build with a matching stat need |
| Chance after each kill | Does the route provide enough kills? | Fast clearing and farming builds |
| Chance when attacking or striking | Does the skill count as the required hit type? | Weapon-attack builds |
| Chance when casting | Is the main action tagged as a cast? | Caster builds |
| Chance when struck | Can the build survive being hit? | Durable builds, not fragile glass cannons |
| Follower, grants ability or orbital | Does the extra entity or skill solve a real constraint? | Builds with room for utility |
Compare a relic in four passes
- 01Read the exact trigger and reject effects your main skill cannot activate reliably.
- 02Compare the current level value with the next visible breakpoint rather than assuming the maximum value.
- 03Name the job: damage, sustain, defense, movement, Magic Find or utility.
- 04Replace one active relic and test the same encounter before changing the rest of the setup.
Unlock the fifth relic slot
Current community evidence connects the fifth active relic slot to The Fall of Darkness questline in Hell 5. The final named objective is Gabriel in the Circle of Hatred plus Amun-Ra in the Tomb of Amun-Ra. Follow the focused quest guide because prerequisite order can vary with the live journal.
The fifth-slot route is community-reported. Season 10 officially adds Relic Storage to the inventory, but its announcement does not document this quest reward.
Farm relics with a visible reason
The official Satanic Zones page lists Relic Keepers as a modifier that gives Ancient monsters a chance to drop a relic. Use the hourly world-map rotation, read the complete buff/debuff package and choose a tier your build clears safely.
- Prioritize an active Relic Keepers rotation instead of farming a random act indefinitely.
- Track clear time and deaths; a dangerous higher tier can produce fewer useful attempts per hour.
- Move unused relics into the Season 10 inventory storage instead of letting the active comparison become cluttered.
- Re-check values after balance patches; the official wiki list can lag behind the live tooltip.
Questions players ask
How do I choose the best Hero Siege relic?
Start with trigger compatibility, then compare the effect’s role and current level. A popular relic is weak if your build rarely activates it.
How do I unlock the fifth relic slot?
Current community evidence points to completing The Fall of Darkness questline in Hell 5, ending with Gabriel and Amun-Ra.
Where can I farm relics?
Watch the Satanic Zone rotation for the Relic Keepers modifier and farm a tier your build can clear safely.
