🛡️ Breaking News: The New Relic Sets

As any seasoned Trailblazer knows, finding the perfect Relic set is half the battle. Version 2.3 is introducing two contenders that are about to become someone's new best friend.

  • Iron Cavalry Against Scourge

    This set is basically a love letter to the Break Effect meta. It’s all about making that moment when you shatter an enemy's Toughness bar hit even harder.

    • 2-piece effect: Increases Break Effect by 16%. A solid foundation.

    • 4-piece effect: Here’s where the magic happens. When the wearer's Break Effect is ≥ 150%, their Break Damage ignores 10% of the enemy's DEF. If you can push it to ≥ 250%, that ignore DEF jumps to a whopping 15%. Oof, that's gonna leave a mark.

  • The Wind-Soaring Valorous

    For the characters who live for their big, flashy moments, this set is calling your name. It’s all about capitalizing on Ultimates and follow-up attacks.

    • 2-piece effect: Straightforward and powerful—ATK increases by 12%.

    • 4-piece effect: Whenever the wearer uses an Ultimate or unleashes a follow-up attack, their DMG dealt gets a 20% boost. This effect can stack up to 2 times, but it resets at the end of their turn. Timing is everything!

✨ Planar Ornaments: The Perfect Companions

To complement these new Relics, two new Planar Ornament sets are also headed to the Simulated Universe rewards pool. They seem designed to pair perfectly with the new Relics, creating some deadly synergies.

Set Name 2-Piece Effect Ideal For...
Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern Increases the wearer's SPD. When attacking enemies with Fire Weakness, also increases Break Effect. Speedsters who target Fire-weak foes. Pure synergy!
Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves After using a follow-up attack, gains 1 stack of "Merit" (max 4 stacks). Each stack increases ATK. At max stacks, also grants a CRIT DMG bonus. The ultimate follow-up attack engine. Stacks for days!

⚡ Who Stands to Benefit the Most?

It's no coincidence that these new gear sets are dropping alongside Version 2.3's headline characters. HoYoverse is clearly handing players the keys to unlock these new units' full potential.

  • Firefly (Fire: Destruction): The long-awaited character's kit is rumored to revolve entirely around Weakness Break and Break Effect. Pairing her with the Iron Cavalry Against Scourge Relics and the Forge of the Kalpagni Lantern Planar Ornaments? That's not just optimization; that's creating a break-focused demolition expert. She's gonna make enemies crumble.

  • Jade (Quantum: Erudition): As a master of follow-up attacks, Jade's Skill and Ultimate are said to constantly trigger them. Slap on The Wind-Soaring Valorous Relics and the Duran Planar Ornaments, and you've got a character who builds up insane damage buffs with every extra hit. The combo potential here is... chef's kiss.

💎 Final Thoughts & Farming Tips

With the update expected around June 18, now's the time to prepare. If you're planning to pull for Firefly or Jade, start mentally allocating your resources.

  • For Relics: Save that Trailblaze Power! The new sets will be available in fresh Caverns of Corrosion. Decide which playstyle calls to you more—shattering defenses or chaining attacks—and focus your farming there first.

  • For Planar Ornaments: Your destination is the Simulated Universe. Get ready to tackle those Elite rooms repeatedly to hunt for the perfect pieces with the right sub-stats. It's a grind, but the payoff is massive.

The arrival of these sets shows HoYoverse's commitment to deepening strategic gameplay. They're not just handing out power; they're offering new identities for your teams. Whether you're a Break Effect enthusiast or a follow-up attack aficionado, Version 2.3 is bringing the tools to let your favorite style truly shine. The question is, which path will you choose?
