Relics and Gemstones
Relics that work well:
Since relics often also depend on the enemy setup, there is not one single best for all. The ones with the highest syerngies are Murderfang, Diadem of Undeath, The Deathdealer, Malefic Talon, Gorecrescent, Unholy Grail, Crown of Corruption, Lens of Intangibility, Steel-Eyed Cutter, Dreadbomb.
Gemstones that work well:
Same as the Relics, the Gemstones with the highest syerngies are Sharpened Riposte, Constant Onslaught, Unrelenting Power, Bloodthirsty Prowess, Maximum Velocity, Piercing Strike, Rolling Force, Attacking Prowess, Target Smash, Quickstrike.
Let’s Talk Data! You might wonder why top sources for the game out there claim to have working builds and then all their champions use relics recommendations that are sometimes 4+ years old. They rarely update older champions with newer relics unless they are top meta and the real reason is you can’t maintain 900+ champions with relics and changes and re-do your builds every few weeks… Until now as we did find a way. We developed a highly focused AI system where AI uses the hero skills, stats and multipliers to simulate the character battles and lets us in an instant update artifacts and relic recommendation once a new relic is added or a skill of a champion is even slightly changed. Let’s say a new relic is released or a champion skill is changed, AI will see that and reevaluate the recommendations of Relics and Gemstones right away and the next time we update content (typically when a new champion is released) this will get updated on the website. But also please understand that recommending relics only works to a certain extent as relics also often times rely on countering certain enemy setup so our recommendations are only based on champion synergies.
This is everything you need to know to build Varkos Headsplitter to the best performance in RAID Shadow Legends. If you’re looking for complete builds for other heroes, please find them all linked the the frequently updated tier list here.
