If you’re trying to take your damage, farming, or shadow-hunting to the next level in Arise Crossover, this guide’s gonna save you a ton of time and grinding. Relics in this game aren’t just small boosts, they’re game-changers. The right combo can take your build from decent to busted, whether you’re looking to melt shadows in seconds, stack insane loot, or finally stop failing those Arise attempts. I’ve tested tons of setups, and I’m sharing the best relic builds for damage, drop rate, and luck. I’ll show you which relics stack best, how to farm them fast, and a few tricks most players miss, including how to force certain bosses to drop what you want.
Best Relic Combos for Damage, Luck & Loot
Relics are passive power-ups that drop from bosses in Arise Crossover. Think of them like equippable bonuses, some increase your weapon damage, others raise your Arise Luck or drop rate. Each relic can come in different ranks—E through SS. SS-rank relics are the real MVPs, offering up to +120% effect.
You get three slots for relics, but here’s the catch:
- Slot 1: Free, unlocked by default.
- Slot 2: Buy it via Game Pass (549 Robux or Tickets).
- Slot 3: Comes from your guild once it reaches a certain upgrade tier (about 25 Sextillion Gimps invested).
Important: Only relics with different names stack, so mix and match for the best synergy!
| Relic Effect | Description |
|---|---|
| ️Shadow Damage | Boosts all Shadow DPS |
| Shadow Level | Temporarily raises Shadow levels (doesn’t raise cap) |
| Arise Luck | Boosts chance of successful Arise |
| Drop Chance | Increases loot drop chance (like Loot Aspect) |
| Weapon Damage | Boosts Weapon DPS |
Shadow Damage Builds
These relics don’t just increase percentage damage, they boost shadow level, which scales way harder.
- Hive Plate (Dedu Raid): +24% Shadow Damage, +6 Shadow Level
- Echo Shard (Faceheal Town): +14 Shadow Level
- Snow Crown (Winter Raid): +19–20 Shadow Level
Best Combo: Stack all three for a shadow-melting build that dominates everything.
Weapon Damage Builds
Melee main? Slash your enemies into dust with this combo:
- Grit Core (Nipon City): +6% Weapon Damage
- Shard of Malice (Infernal Castle): +3.6% Sword + Shadow Damage
- Frostbound Core (Winter Raid): +10.8% Weapon Damage
Perfect for up-close players who want to hit like a truck.
Arise Luck Builds (For Shadow Collectors)
These are ideal if you’re farming rare shadows and want better success rates.
- Silent Veil (Grass Village): +7% Arise Luck
- Flicker Crest (Mori Town): +9.6% Arise Luck
- Paranormal Eye (Kindama City): +12% Arise Luck
This trio is a collector’s dream, especially if you’re rolling for legendary shadows.
Loot Farming Builds (For Drop Grinders)
Farming relics, gear, or gimps? You’ll want these:
- Drift Compass (Brum Island): +8.4% Drop Rate
- Sight Node (Dragon City): +13% Drop Rate
- Blood Chalice (Infernal Castle): +16.8% Drop Rate
Combine this with Drop Potions and the Loot Aspect weapon enchant, easy loot life.
Where to Get the Best Relics
There are three main ways to farm relics:
- Dungeons (Most Reliable)
- Spawn every 15 minutes, last 14 minutes
- Rank E to SS—higher rank = better relic odds
- Bosses drop specific relics per zone:
| Location | Relic Type |
|---|---|
| Leveling City | Clawbound Ring (Shadow DMG) |
| Grass Village | Silent Veil (Arise Luck) |
| Brum Island | Drift Compass (Drop Chance) |
| Faceheal Town | Echo Shard (Shadow Level) |
| Lucky Kingdom | Ink of Depth (Shadow DMG) |
| Nipon City | Grit Core (Weapon DMG) |
| Mori Town | Flicker Crest (Arise Luck) |
| Dragon City | Sight Node (Drop Chance) |
| XZ City | Pulse Emblem (Shadow DMG) |
| Kindama City | Paranormal Eye (Arise Luck) |
| Infernal Castle | Shard of Malice (Shadow + Weapon DMG) Blood Chalice (Drop Chance) |
| Dedu Island | Highplate Core (Shadow DMG + Shadow Level) |
| Winter Raid | Frostbound Core (Weapon DMG) Crown of Snow (Shadow DMG) |
- Dedu Raid
- Spawns every hour at :15, lasts 15 minutes
- Drops Hive Plate (Huge for Shadow builds)
- Best done with a group, boss is tough!
- Infernal Castle (Fastest Method)
- Spawns hourly at :45
- Every 5 floors = boss fight
- Bosses can drop the Shard of Malice (Shadow + Weapon DMG)
- Farm Tip: Start at Floor 25, clear 2 rooms, defeat boss, re-enter for fast cycles.

Boost Your Drop Rate
Because relics only drop from bosses, every % matters. Here’s how to boost it:
- Enchant weapon with Loot Aspect
- Use Drop Potions (from AFK rewards)
- Buy 2x Drops Game Pass (599 Tickets)
- Equip drop relics (like Sight Note, Drift Compass)
The goal? Create a loot feedback loop: get better relics to get even more relics.
Advanced Farming Tip: World Runes
These consumables let you change the boss in a dungeon, even if the zone stays the same.
That means you can:
- Spawn a boss from another zone
- Farm specific relics across locations
- Skip bad bosses and target top drops
Strategy: Use them to force dungeons to drop relics you’re missing.
Wrap-Up
So yeah, relics are kinda cracked once you know what you’re doing. Whether you’re hunting shadows, chasing perfect gear, or trying to flex on the leaderboards, having the right relics makes all the difference. Make sure you’ve unlocked all three relic slots, farm smart (not just hard), and don’t sleep on Drop Potions, Loot Aspect, or World Runes, they’ll seriously boost your farming efficiency. Let me know in the comments what relic combo you’re running, or if you’re stuck on anything. Good luck on those drops!
