Exclusive Relics/Relic Power Boost
Credits to sanglass#4944 at the Rise of Eros Discord for the discovery & documentation of the Relic Power Boost.
Exclusive Relics are basically level 30 R Relics. These Relics give a huge power boost that SR & SSR Relics cannot easily match, despite their better initial base stats.
As you can see, the SR Relic has superior base stats to the R Relic. However, the EXP needed to level up the SR Relic is 10x the EXP needed for the R Relic.
This is a R Relic’s stats at level 30.
The boost is massive – this translates to approximately 2x HP, ATK & DEF for a 0 Star, level 20 Persona.
Why not SR/SSR Relics?
I know what you’re thinking, a SR/SSR Relic should be a better investment. Normally that would be true, except that the resources required are exponentially & disproportionately higher.
Because the only way to get more Relics is via the Summons, it is much harder to obtain them in the quantities needed to level up a Relic.
In addition, Relics power up exponentially, meaning you really only see the results at level 25+.
Relic Rarity | XP needed for Level 15 | R Relics Needed | SR Relics Needed |
R | 1200 | 8 | 2 |
SR | 11,200 | 75 | 16 |
SSR | 27,000 | 180 | 39 |
I’ve not yet seen anyone with a level 30 SR/SSR Relic, due to the ridiculous amount of Relics needed to mimic a fraction of a R Relic’s power, not to mention the need for dupes.
R Relic XP Table
Relic Level | XP needed per level | Cumulative XP |
1 – 15 | 80 | 1120 |
16 – 18 | 150 | 1570 |
19 – 21 | 180 | 2110 |
22 – 24 | 220 | 2770 |
25 – 27 | 320 | 3730 |
28 – 30 | 400 | 4930 |
Before you get carried away, there are a few things to take note of
- Focus on R Relics first. A fully upgraded R Relic takes the same amount of resources as a level 7 SR Relic.
- The major limiting factor here is getting at least 5 dupes, as the Relic Boost is exponential. You will only start to see results after level 24.
- Do not pick a Fire Relic first, unless you have no choice – The starting Chapters have a lot of Water-element enemies.
- Like Gear, upgraded Relics can also be used later on to upgrade other Relics.
- The ‘best’ Relic is any Relic that you have 5 dupes of. This will be the only time I will be polite about this.
- The Legend Himself, Sandglass#4944, has suggested leaving the Relics at Level 29. This helps to optimise your limited resources since you’re going to need to make the most of the resources you have available.
- Using SR Relics to upgrade R Relics might not be such a bad idea, but check in with the Meta Analysis section before you do so.
- Remember that the rest of your party will also need Relics for the Elemental advantage & stat boost.
