The best relics to prioritize in Omniheroes Season 16 are Blade of Chaos and Hand of Tyr. Focusing your upgrade materials into universal S-tier relics provides immediate combat value across World Arena, Rift Odyssey, and guild bosses. Upgrading these staples first secures round-one burst and critical defensive stabilization before you invest in faction-specific synergy items.

Season 16 Relic Rankings
S-Tier: Universal Core Relics
These relics perform at the highest level across all game modes without requiring specific faction synergies. Focus your primary enhancement materials here.
- Blade of Chaos: Delivers rapid percentage-based damage and reduces enemy defensive stats, allowing primary carries to eliminate frontline tanks in both PvP burst rounds and high-level PvE boss encounters.
- Hand of Tyr: Generates robust shields and defensive stabilization to keep backline carries and supports alive through opening enemy turns.
- Gungnir: Targets high-threat units directly, delivering heavy single-target burst and control effects against the opponent's primary damage dealer.
- Dragonfang Staff: Provides offensive damage amplification while cycling crowd-control pressure across multiple combat rounds.
A-Tier: High-Impact Synergy Relics
A-tier relics match S-tier performance when paired with specific team compositions, but they lack universal plug-and-play versatility. Upgrade these after establishing your core staples.
| Relic Name | Primary Function | Supported Lineup Synergy |
|---|---|---|
| Excalibur | Holy burst damage and execution | Valiant and Glorian burst teams |
| Kamaitachi’s Fan | Backline disruption and energy drain | Ethereal and speed-cleave teams |
| Gjallarhorn | Team-wide attack boosts | Multi-DPS PvE and World Arena offense |
| Chalice of Rebirth | Sustained healing and debuff cleanse | Mystifier and defensive stall teams |
B-Tier: Multi-Team and Situational Fillers
B-tier options offer localized sustain, shields, or minor resistances. They are best utilized as baseline filler on third or fourth squads in multi-team formats like Tournament, or to resolve specific boss mechanics. Unlock them for passive account stats, but avoid spending high-tier upgrade materials on them early.
Low-Tier Relics to Keep at Base Level
Leave the following relic categories at base level to avoid wasting rare forge resources:
- Flat-stat statues: Items offering small flat defenses without percentage scaling do not keep pace with endgame scaling.
- Minor direct healers: Relics that restore small flat health values cannot counter round-one burst damage.
- Slow ramp-up artifacts: Any relic requiring four or more rounds to reach full effectiveness struggles in fast-paced PvP matches that end within two turns.

Recommended Loadout Structure
A standard competitive setup uses two offensive options alongside one defensive or sustain relic to prevent early wipes while maintaining kill pressure:
- Slot 1 (Burst or Initiation): Blade of Chaos or Gungnir
- Slot 2 (Defense or Sustain): Hand of Tyr or Chalice of Rebirth
- Slot 3 (Utility or Cleave): Dragonfang Staff or Kamaitachi’s Fan
When upgrading, push individual core relics to major star threshold milestones to unlock enhanced secondary effects, such as extended crowd control or bonus energy generation, instead of leveling your entire relic roster evenly.

I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
This helped me understand heroes much better.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
