Optimizing Melee and Ranged Combat with Relics
Selecting Combat-Focused Relics
The mod offers relics tailored to melee and ranged builds. Melee relics typically boost attack damage, critical strike chance, or weapon speed. Ranged relics enhance arrow damage, projectile speed, or accuracy. Identify which combat style you prefer and prioritize relics that support it.
Stacking Damage and Attack Speed
Combine relics that increase both damage output and attack speed for maximum effectiveness. A relic boosting raw damage paired with one increasing attack speed creates a powerful offensive combination. This allows you to deal consistent, high damage in rapid succession.
Adding Utility and Survivability
Include relics that provide utility benefits like knockback resistance, lifesteal, or temporary invulnerability after dodging. These prevent you from being knocked around or killed unexpectedly, keeping you in control during intense fights.
Adapting to Enemy Types
Different enemies require different strategies. Against armored foes, prioritize armor-piercing or high-damage relics. Against fast enemies, use relics that improve your mobility or attack speed. Swap your relic loadout based on the encounter for optimal performance.
