Skip summoning on the Girls Echo relic banner unless you have already secured a functional core roster and saved enough currency to reach a guaranteed milestone chest. Because relic bonuses scale heavily on percentage-based multipliers, they provide meaningful value only when applied to high-star SSR+ heroes. If your team is still missing foundational units or your currency cannot reach a guaranteed pity tier, save your Diamonds for character banners.

Relic Banner Mechanics and Summon Costs
Unlike hero banners that grant character duplicates for star promotion or unit-specific divine weapons, relics provide universal offensive and defensive attribute increases across your entire active formation. Summoning on the banner draws from a shared pool containing multiple rarity tiers:
- Low-tier relics: Provide flat stat boosts and serve as fusion fodder.
- High-tier relics: Unlock squad-wide percentage modifiers, including attack amplification, damage reduction, and initial energy replenishment.
Summoning consumes dedicated Relic Tokens or direct Diamonds.
| Feature | System Mechanic | Tactical Impact |
|---|---|---|
| Summon Currency | Relic Tokens or converted Diamonds | Rapid Diamond depletion if pulled without saved event vouchers |
| Pull Format | 10-pull batches | Secures baseline drop rarity and milestone progress |
| Milestone Track | Guaranteed rewards at fixed pull counts | Prevents wasted spending by awarding shard or selector chests |
| Pity Rollover | Tied to active event duration | Stopping mid-cycle wastes accumulated milestone points |
Because milestone tracks are tied to limited event periods, never summon in small increments across multiple cycles. Only spend when your reserves can clear a specific milestone threshold.

Evaluating Account Readiness: Pull or Skip?
Review your current account state against these criteria before spending any premium currency on relics.
When to Pull
- Core Lineup Is Established: Your main formation already contains high-star SSR+ damage dealers and essential supports with their required promotions unlocked.
- Hitting Campaign Damage Walls: Your team survives enemy opening attacks but fails enrage timers, making squad-wide percentage attack buffs necessary to progress.
- Guaranteed Milestone Budget: You hold enough Relic Tokens or Diamonds to hit the targeted milestone selector without cutting into your core character reserves.
When to Skip
- Early Account Progression: You are still assembling basic elemental synergy (such as pure Earth, Fire, or Wind formations) and lack roster depth.
- Active Hero Banners: A limited hero banner or phantom selector is currently active and requires your Diamond reserves.
- Insufficient Pull Reserves: You cannot guarantee the next milestone chest, leaving your investment entirely reliant on low raw drop rates.

Next Steps: Equipping Relics and Managing Currency
If you pull high-tier relics, match their attributes directly to your squad's primary bottleneck:
- Equip offensive relics on burst lineups: Slot percentage-based attack boosts and initial energy relics to let your primary carries trigger early ultimate abilities with higher critical and penetration values.
- Equip defensive relics on struggling frontlines: Assign percentage health pools and damage reduction artifacts to formations where tanks fall to heavy single-target boss burst.
- Verify secondary activation passives: Check each relic's specific activation conditions, as some secondary effects only trigger at set squad health thresholds or when paired with matching elemental affinities.
For long-term resource management, rely primarily on free relic tokens earned through daily check-ins, server milestone gifts, and regular event challenges. If you plan to spend Diamonds on relic summons, wait for events that feature rebate rewards, such as summoning ticket refunds or bonus upgrade materials per milestone tier reached.
