How 2.3's NEW Relics & Planars CHANGE Builds! (Relic Guide)

Hey, this guide discusses the brand new Relics & Planars for some characters with the newest 2.3 Relic sets, the Iron Cavalry and Wind Soaring Valorous sets, as well as the new 2.3 Planars, the Forge and Duran Sets. Follow Up DPS like Ratio, Topaz, Clara, Himeko, Herta, all see new potential, and Break units like Firefly, Gallagher, Boothill see new Relic and Planar options too! I go through how they work, who would use them, and how they change builds! Let me know what you think of these new sets! I hope this helps!

WILL YOU BE IN THE NEW RELIC MINES WITH ME IN 2.3? WHO YOU FARMING FOR!
NOTES: - Duran for Ratio / Topaz increases in power difference the weaker your setup. For example if you miss DMG% from say a Signature on Robin or RM, or lack Topaz / Ratio Signatures. So rn in RRAT it's like 4-5% better over Salsotto, but can be higher in certain scenarios or solo calcs. Classic calculation moment.

"Iron Calvary Against the Scourge" has to be my favorite named set from Hoyo.

[tejati]

Kinda fitting since the grind for new relics always BREAKS my spirit. Good luck to everyone farming for Firefly!

[izanagiuzumaki]

Wishing all Firefly / SAM pullers 500% BE in substats day 1

6:02 "Not worth to re-farm"

Bold of you to assume I farmed for Yanqing

[noahtheliberator]

I hope they release a BE set focused on non super break characters like Boothil. I love boothil, and would love to use something that actually enhances his kit.

Imagine a set for him that action advances forward if the unit is single target break damage dealer, how much fun would that be.

[ImRoosevelt]

Well, there goes my 2.3 Resin for the new Break Set for the Cowborg! Great video as always!

[MBussin]

My boy Boothill about to go full Westworld and murder all humans over this noise.

[Adser]

One good thing about the forge set is that BE characters are so similar and simple to build (only really need BE and speed) that you only really need a single good set and then just share it between your breaker of choice.

Fire weakness is also not that rare even without FF guaranteeing it, since we are seeing a lot of fights with more than 3 weakneses on mobs, making it for a nice "just in case" set.

Can't wait for a relic/planar set that will be element and path specific at the same time

[pcueemw]

good lord it works out so great it’s absolutely bonkers. farming crit break relics for xueyi and speed break relics for firefly while getting a full set for yanqing and decent atk 2pc is already good enough but farming a planars for firefly while getting an insane set for my beloved clara as well as rrat team and himeko/herta? that’s just crazy

[somedude]

Dude I'm so sad about Wind Soaring Valorous, cuz early leaks had the set work perfectly for Clara and maybe Topaz. I don't remember the specifics, but it has something to do with getting more follow up damage after you using ult for a couple of turns. I got super excited then they changed it a few patches in.

This is why you shouldn't look at leaks LOL

[Xilibrius]

i'm sad they nerfed the windswept sets original version. i would have farmed it for for clara and aventurine for sure.

[edabb]

as a dedicated break 5* unit skipper (i just happen to not like what we've gotten so far), don't mind me as i enjoy sipping my tea over not having to farm the newest cavern and planar! good luck to u guys tho :D at this rate, i'll prolly have nth else to do but to continue perfecting my acheron's build until 2.4, which is a blessing in disguise.

[Memann]

I cannot reiterate how much Main Stat > Sub stat > Set Bonus prio matters. I've helped a ton of Topaz enjoyers with their build, and changing from a decent 4pc Duke - Salsotto set to a 2pc Duke 2pc Pioneer/Prisoner/Musketeer helps a lot. The percentage difference in many set bonuses aren't as big as that extra 8 CR, 16 CD, or 18% Atk. The only reason we farm BiS relic sets is because it would be best to have godly stats on the best set, but if you don't have the stats to back it up then it isn't worth it.

The only exception to this I might argue/say is Duke 2pc and 4pc Quantum, since Duke with 20% DMG bonus is a lot (worthy of being a 4pc bonus), and Quantum is Quantum.

[lucadivine]

Oh wow, they actually released "quantum set (but better)"! Looks like "quantum set (but better)(but better)" is slated for 3.0.

[electroneurons]

honestly im just gonna wait for the double relic and planars events because my luck with relics is TRASH compared to my luck with character pulls

[avariablestar]

I’m just hoping the other set is for a character I’ll actually summon for so the inevitable godroll off pieces will be useful for once

[ShuriWasTaken]

I can't believe they did this to my boy Boothill....

[skepticalsky]

It's so stupid that they made the 250% superbreak only. Actually just to fuck over boothil.
