What are Universal Tower Defense Relics?
Universal Tower Defense Relics are special items that drop after completing stages and come in the form of a headgear, something for the chest, or pants. You can equip them to your characters, swap them out if they don’t work, and get powerful set bonuses from them – including critical hit rate increases, damage increases, and cooldown reductions.
All Universal Tower Defense relic sets
Relics are part of a set which, if you equip all relics from the same set, can provide a set bonus in addition to their individual buffs. The lists below provide a comprehensive guide to all the bonuses on offer:

How to get Universal Tower Defense relics?
You earn Universal Tower Defense relics through drops for completing tower defense stages. As you can see in the tables above, different game modes offer different relics, so if you’re grinding, make sure you select the right stage for the right relic you want. Shirts and pants can be obtained in the story mode, and hats appear in the virtual world.
Relics can also have different rarities. To obtain a higher rarity relic, you must complete a higher difficulty level, such as Nightmare. This is not exact knowledge, because you also need to be lucky, but there is a much greater probability that you will come across a relic of a higher rarity later on. Don’t waste your time leveling up on lower difficulties if you have the strength to level up on higher ones, and if you need some extra luck, some Universal Tower Defense cheats can facilitate you out.
What are the best Universal Tower Defense relic sets?
As always, which relic set is best depends on your playstyle and what traits your units have in Universal Tower Defense. You should also consider the rarity of your relics and prioritize the infrequent ones. With that in mind, here are our tips for the best relic sets.
- Set from Captain Urahara: These relics can facilitate you tap into critical power, which is often crucial to your damage output
- Sun God Set: Given that these relics escalate three elemental damage, they have a wide range of uses and are versatile enough to be useful to almost any player
- The Laughing Captain Set: If your units are already powerful enough and you have excellent traits, these relics will facilitate you tremendously with complex cooldowns and low attack ranges.
You should combine these relics with great characters and features, so you can check the Universal Tower Defense tier list for comparison.
