All the different relics in Tales of Grimm and the investment needed to rank them up makes it quite complicated, not only for new players, to decide what relics to work on first. Also players more towards mid-game seem to be lost, so I decided to write a full ranked tier list with some grades for the different ranks that, hopefully, will help you decide what relics you should use and work on.

Search:
- Magic AuraSBest CharactersMagic Aura for sure is a relic that every player in Tales of Grimm should use - it increases the daily resource gain permanently so there can't be two opinions on how helpful it is.Type: YieldingRank 4/5: ARank 6/7: ARank 8/9: SRank 10: SBest CharactersBest Team
- Hellish CurseSBest CharactersHellish Curse provides a very big damage buff for your damage carrier and is one of the most vital relics in Talse of Grimm. Although, you will need some debuffing in your team as well as be aware that Ablation is quite inconsistent until you get it to Rank 10.Type: ActiveRank 4/5: ARank 6/7: ARank 8/9: SRank 10: SBest CharactersBest Team
- KaboomA+Best CharactersKaboom works well in all stages for PvE aspects and can be used really well to counter common heal relic placement in PvP. You won't go wrong here.Type: ActiveRank 4/5: ARank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: SBest CharactersBest Team
- Fairy ManaA+Best CharactersFairy Mana provides a great permanent debuff and will become amazingly strong when maxed. Another relic I can recommend without any limitations.Type: PassiveRank 4/5: ARank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: SBest CharactersBest Team
- Dark ManaA+Best CharactersDark Mana also provides a very strong permanent buff and becomes really strong when maxed. In addition you will get some good base stats.Type: PassiveRank 4/5: ARank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: SBest CharactersBest Team
- Hellish ShieldA+Best CharactersHellish Shield starts getting strong starting Rank 6 and can stack with shield talents and sigils as well. Also provides some nice base stats.Type: ActiveRank 4/5: BRank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: SBest CharactersBest Team
- Mermaid SongA+Best CharactersMermaid Song also becomes good starting Rank 6 and has good base stats. Some players might rate it less viable for PvP as it requires proper timing and it performs more consistent in PvE modes, but a really strong relic.Type: ActiveRank 4/5: BRank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: SBest CharactersBest Team
- GrowlA+Best CharactersGrowl is not really good in the lower ranks, but starts picking up towards Rank 8. The targeting can be a little inconsistent here and there but it hits many targets so it's fine in almost all cases. Also good base stats.Type: ActiveRank 4/5: BRank 6/7: BRank 8/9: ARank 10: SBest CharactersBest Team
- Mind SootherA+Best CharactersMind Soother has an amazing effect but requires timing. The good base stats are also nice, but the strong damage buff will not really reach its full potential until you get it Rank 10.Type: ActiveRank 4/5: BRank 6/7: BRank 8/9: ARank 10: SBest CharactersBest Team
- Wishing AuraABest CharactersWishing Aura permanently increases the daily resource gain (but not as consistently as Magic Aura).Type: YieldingRank 4/5: ARank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: ABest CharactersBest Team
- OnslaughtABest CharactersOnslaught provides a permanent attack increase. Always useful.Type: PassiveRank 4/5: ARank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: ABest CharactersBest Team
- Bear FormABest Charactersprovides a permanent HP increase. Always useful in Tales of Grimm.Type: PassiveRank 4/5: ARank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: ABest CharactersBest Team
- Crit PotionABest CharactersCrit Potion has a strong but temporary effect. I'd also say it leans more towards PvP mode and has strong base stats.Type: PassiveRank 4/5: ARank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: ABest CharactersBest Team
- Mind ProtectionABest CharactersMind Protection has a strong but temporary effect. I'd also say it leans more towards PvP mode in Tales of Grimm.Type: PassiveRank 4/5: ARank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: ABest CharactersBest Team
- Lion RoarABest CharactersLion Roar has a strong but temporary effect. I'd also say it leans more towards PvP mode. Starts to really be good starting Rank 6.Type: PassiveRank 4/5: BRank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: ABest CharactersBest Team
- Protection AuraABest CharactersProtection Aura has a strong but temporary effect. I'd also say it leans more towards PvP mode. Starts to really be good starting Rank 6.Type: PassiveRank 4/5: BRank 6/7: ARank 8/9: ARank 10: ABest CharactersBest Team
- Rage StrikeABest CharactersRage Strike has a strong effect, but it will not get that consistent before Rank 10. Also, I rather recommend running this in PvE where you can use more tries to get the rng out.Type: ActiveRank 4/5: BRank 6/7: BRank 8/9: ARank 10: ABest CharactersBest Team
- Healing GiftABest CharactersHealing Gift will start giving decent amounts of heals when you reach Rank 6. Also helpful when you need to counter some teams that are resistant to debuffs.Type: ActiveRank 4/5: BRank 6/7: BRank 8/9: ARank 10: ABest CharactersBest Team
- Magic ExplosionB+Best CharactersMagic Explosion is, debatable, S Tier for some players in some PvP setups but I think this only applies to such a small player base in Tales of Grimm that I rather rank it where most players should see it. Has good base stats, though.Type: ActiveRank 4/5: BRank 6/7: BRank 8/9: BRank 10: ABest CharactersBest Team
- Soldier MarchC+Best CharactersSoldier March has a strong skill, but isn't really useful until you reach Rank 10 with it, for that reason I ranked it that low. Also, please don't get me wrong, at Rank 10 it gets useful in the way it's designed but still gets outclassed by the other relics in Tales of Grimm by far.Type: ActiveRank 4/5: CRank 6/7: CRank 8/9: CRank 10: BBest CharactersBest Team
- Love ManaC+Best CharactersLove Mana is quite mediocre until Rank 10, and even then it doesn't really shine. The weird targeting that adds a lot of rng is just not working well.Type: Rank 4/5: CRank 6/7: CRank 8/9: CRank 10: BBest CharactersBest Team
- Gunfire FanaticCBest CharactersGunfire Fanatic is, frankly, only for some solid stats alright, there's no reason to upgrade it.Type: Rank 4/5: CRank 6/7: CRank 8/9: CRank 10: CBest CharactersBest Team
