Relics

Relics are passive effects that last the entire run. They stack freely and are the primary way your build takes shape between combats. All relics below can appear in shops, combat rewards, and other sources — with the exception of archetype signature relics, which are exclusive to their character and never appear in the shared pool. See Archetypes for those.

Rarity

Rewards and shops roll relics at different rarities:

Rarity	Where you find them	Power
Common	Basic combat rewards, shops (30g)	Small stat boosts, quality of life
Uncommon	Elite combat rewards, shops (60g), temples	Build-around effects
Rare	Boss combat rewards (always), shops (100g), temples	Build-defining power, often with a curse

Rare relics often carry a curse — a built-in drawback that balances their power. Curses are listed in italics in the tables below.
