Winds of Winter Event Relics Ranked in Raid: Shadow Legends

“Wearer receives 2% less damage from enemies with at least double their MAX HP.“

• Upgrades: 2% heal, scaling to 8% at max rank.
• Stats: HP, DEF, RES.
• Gemslots: Circle.
• Best Use: Budget relic for helping champions stay alive against bosses.
• Rating: 4/10 – Filler relic for keeping champions alive against bosses. Decent early, then use as relic food when you pull better ones.

“Wearer deals 2% more damage to enemies with at least double their MAX HP.“

• Upgrades: 2% damage, scaling to 8% at max rank.
• Stats: ATK, DEF, C.DMG.
• Gemslots: Triangle.
• Best Use: Budget relic for any ATK-based damage dealer.
• Rating: 5/10 – A filler damage relic for ATK-based damage. Very easy to meet the requirements. Useful, since it lets you save your Malefic Talons for HP and DEF nukers.

“Wearer heals for 3% MAX HP whenever they gain Turn Meter from an active skill.“

• Upgrades: 3% heal, scaling to 10%.
• Stats: HP, ACC, SPD.
• Gemslots: Diamond, Pentagonal.
• Best Use: Solo or duo champions who have (or are paired with) regular Turn Meter boosts.
• Rating: 6.5/10 – A steady stream of healing for PvE content if you can bring regular skill-based TM boosting in your team.

“Wearer absorbs 5% of the damage the most injured teammate would take from Bosses.“

• Upgrades: 5% damage redirection, scaling to 25%.
• Stats: DEF, HP, RES.
• Gemslots: Square, Circle.
• Best Use: A tanky champion who can take the redirected damage and/or heal themselves up quickly afterwards.
• Rating: 7.5/10 – One of the very few relics (or gear, or blessings, or anything!) that let’s a tanky champion help a squishy champion stay alive. Very nifty for tough boss fights (please Plarium, let us swap relics for free so we can use this in Grim Forest, Cursed City, etc.!)

“When the wearer loses 70% HP in a single turn, removes all debuffs from them.“

• Upgrades: 70% threshold, scaling down to 30%.
• Stats: RES, SPD, HP.
• Gemslots: Square, Pentagon, Pentagon.
• Best Use: A RES-stacking champion.
• Rating: 7/10 – If you’re building RES, you’re aiming to avoid debuffs entirely, making the effect quite underwhelming (plus it’s hard to trigger and requires far too many relic ranks to get good). That being said, it has great stats and gem slots, making it one of the better RES relics despite its flaws.

“Wearer deals 10% more damage to enemies under Shield buffs.“

• Upgrades: 10% damage, scaling to 40% max.
• Stats: C.DMG, ATK, DEF.
• Gemslots: Triangle, Triangle, Circle.
• Best Use: Any damage dealer who ignores Shield buffs, or who is regularly trying to break through Shields (mostly a PvP thing).
• Rating: 8.5/10 – Great damage stats and gems sockets, with a niche but very powerful effect. This is extremely strong on any PvP damage dealer who ignores Shield buffs.

“Wearer receives a 25% Fortify buff for 2 turns at the start of each round. They also receive a 10% reduction in Ignore DEF effects used against them while below 50% HP.“

• Upgrades: 10% reduction in Ignore DEF, scaling to 50%.
• Stats: SPD, DEF, HP.
• Gemslots: Square, Diamond, Circle, Diamond.
• Best Use: Tanky high-RES champions. Or perhaps very fast champions in 9-piece Mercurial, to keep you alive as you cycle back to Total Guard.
• Rating: 9/10 – Main stat SPD is always amazing. The downside here is that the Fortify buff can be removed unless you have very high RES, and the reduction in Ignore DEF, while strong, will struggle to keep you alive if you’re already low on health.

“Wearer has a 50% chance to increase a random skill’s cooldown by 2 turns against one target. Wearer also deals 3% more damage for each turn of cooldown remaining on all enemy skills.“

• Upgrades: 50% chance, scaling to a 100% chance.
• Stats: ATK, ACC, C.DMG.
• Gemslots: Circle, Circle, Diamond, Triangle.
• Best Use: PvP ATK damage dealers who build some ACC.
• Rating: 10/10 – Incredibly strong, though it needs ACC to land the skill increase. That being said, it can enable you to prevent enemy damage dealers using their big attack, or prevent a reviver reviving. It’s also a massive damage boost, particularly if paired with other skill cooldown increasing champions.
