About Relic Arena

Relic Arena pits historic leaders against each other in an endless autobattler where you recruit past heroes and equip them with relics each round. Relics are bought from a shop, placed freely on units, and upgraded to create on‑the‑fly combos, while each leader’s ability can be leveled for dramatic effect.

The game includes single‑player challenges, daily tasks, and story‑driven campaign maps that unlock new leaders, relics, and wonders. Weekly patches add surprise content, and cross‑platform multiplayer lets Windows and macOS players battle together, supported by an active Discord community.

01 / THE GUIDE

Relic System

Each round you purchase historical relics from a shop and attach them to any unit without cost. Every relic grants a unique ability and offers three Super Upgrades plus one Juicy Upgrade, enabling varied combos.

With over 100 relics available, players can craft builds that synergize with their chosen leader, making each match feel distinct from other autobattlers.

  • Mix relics that complement your leader’s core ability for stronger effects.
  • Try different upgrade paths to discover unexpected synergies.

02 / THE GUIDE

Leader Progression

The game features 25+ historical leaders, each with five levels that unlock increasingly powerful abilities. Leveling a leader changes gameplay dramatically, such as granting a literal nuclear bomb for Gandhi.

Progress is tracked between games via a leader progression system, and new leaders are unlocked through single‑player challenges, daily challenges, and campaign maps.

  • Complete daily challenges that reward leader experience to level up faster.
  • Experiment with leaders of contrasting abilities to broaden your options.

Wonders

Wonders are a set of 50+ optional elements that can completely transform a strategy. They act as additional modifiers that interact with relics and leader abilities.

Wonders are unlocked alongside leaders and relics through campaign progression and daily challenges, adding another layer of tactical depth to each match.

  • Choose wonders that amplify your leader’s strongest ability.
  • Use wonders that counter popular relic combos when facing experienced opponents.

04 / THE GUIDE

Multiplayer Modes

Relic Arena supports online PvP, cross‑platform multiplayer, and community tournaments, allowing Windows and macOS players to compete together. Matches follow the same relic‑and‑leader mechanics as single‑player.

Weekly patches may introduce new leaders and relics, keeping the multiplayer environment dynamic and encouraging continual adaptation.

  • Join Discord tournaments to practice against varied strategies.
  • Stay updated on weekly patches to anticipate meta shifts.

05 / THE GUIDE

Single‑Player Content

Beyond multiplayer, the game offers single‑player challenges, daily tasks, and story‑driven campaign maps. Completing these modes unlocks new leaders, relics, and other rewards.

Daily challenges refresh each day, while campaign maps provide structured gameplay separate from the endless arena battles.

  • Focus on daily challenges first for quick rewards.
  • Progress through campaign maps to unlock leaders early.
