Honkai: Star Rail Leak Teases Quality-of-Life Change to Relics
A new Honkai: Star Rail leak has revealed a quality of life change that will affect the number of relics players are allowed to have in their inventory. Relic sets are very important for every character in the game as they can significantly impact their on-field performance.
Similar to Genshin Impact's artifacts, Honkai: Star Rail relics provide different types of bonus effects when equipped by characters. Similar to most similar items, Relic Sets can have different rarities, with 5-star relics being usually the most powerful ones and the hardest to obtain.
With the game constantly adding new characters to the roster, fans have been complaining about the number of Relics they can have in their inventory. Luckily, a new leak shared on the Honkai: Star Rail Leaks subreddit has revealed that Trailblazers will have the option to carry up to 2000 Relics in their inventory instead of the current 1500. This adjustment will go live with the release of the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail Version 2.1. Many comments claim that despite being very careful with which Relics they are keeping, they have already come close to the 1500 limit and this change will come at the perfect time.
Honkai: Star Rail has two different types of relic sets, Cavern Relics and Planar Ornaments, both of which offer different types of effects. Players can equip up to four Cavern Relics, which can be placed in different slots: Head, Hands, Body, and Feet. These Relics function similarly to Genshin's artifacts as they provide additional 2-piece and 4-piece bonus effects. Planar Ornament can be placed in the Planar Sphere and the Link Rope slots, and they can have 2-piece effects that are usually tied to providing elemental damage buffs.
This Relic change won't be the only novelty in the upcoming Honkai: Star Rail update 2.1 as three new characters are expected to join the roster: Acheron, Aventurine, and Gallagher. The first two are expected to be five-star characters, while Gallagher will have a lower four-star
