When a new season launches in Sword x Staff, secure a single base copy of the featured seasonal relic before spending currency on duplicate star levels, and hold your enhancement materials until you test the relic in active combat.

Seasonal Summoning Sequence

Follow these steps when pulling on a new seasonal relic banner to protect your gacha currency reserves:

  1. Calculate the Pity Threshold: Count your accumulated gacha currency to confirm you have enough pulls to reach guaranteed pity before committing any resources.
  2. Secure the Base Copy: Pull until you acquire your first copy of the highest-rated featured relic, then immediately pause summoning.
  3. Wait for Overlapping Events: Save remaining pulls for limited-time event windows that offer boosted drop rates or bonus milestone rewards.

Evaluating Relic Fit

Before spending currency, evaluate whether a new relic supports your existing build:

  • Active Ability Utility: Ensure the relic offers a needed crowd-control effect or burst damage window for your rotation.
  • Class Stat Alignment: Confirm the relic scales with your class's primary stat, prioritizing Attack for DPS or Defense for Tanks.
  • Seasonal Set Bonuses: Check if equipping the relic triggers set bonuses with other seasonal gear that outweigh standalone stat gains.

Resource Allocation Priorities

Upgrading new seasonal relics requires scarce enhancement stones and late-game materials. Spreading upgrade resources too thin can stall character progression by starving core gear.

Focus AreaPriority ActionStrategic Goal
Featured RelicsObtain base copy onlySecures initial stat multipliers without draining currency reserves
Upgrade MaterialsReserve until combat testingPrevents under-leveling core gear before verifying practical performance
Summon TimingAlign pulls with rate-up windowsMaximizes bonus items and overall pull efficiency

Hold off on maxing out refinement levels until you test the relic in content such as guild wars or seasonal dungeons to confirm it delivers a real power increase over your existing equipment.
