Universal Tower Defense X Relics Tier List – Best Relic Set [UPD 2.75]

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Top + Bottom: When this unit applies any crowd control effect, gain 30% extra damage for 10 seconds.
• Accessory: When this unit swaps form/mode, permanently increase that placed unit’s damage by 5%, stacking up to 6 times.
• Ninjaverse tag: +20% Element Damage, +15% Crit Rate, +20% Crit Damage.
• Sage tag: +15% Element Damage, +20% Hyper Armor Damage.
• Bloodline tag: +15% Element Damage, +15% Damage, +20% Range.

Evaluation

One of the strongest Relic sets overall. It rewards units that already apply crowd control and becomes even better on form-swap or mode-swap units because the Accessory bonus can build permanent damage. The tag perks are also stacked with high-value offensive stats, making this a premium late-game DPS/control set.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Top + Bottom: +10% Damage and +20% Meter Gain.
• Accessory: When a meter bar is used, increase damage by 70% for 10 seconds.
• Limit: The Accessory damage buff does not stack.

Evaluation

A burst-damage monster for meter-based units. The baseline +10% Damage is already useful, but the real value is the +20% Meter Gain feeding into a massive 70% damage window. Best for late-game DPS units that can reliably use meter bars during boss waves or important damage checks.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Full Set: +10% Damage and +15% Crit Chance.
• Extra condition: +20% Damage if the unit is placed within range of a Saiyan unit.
• Accessory: 5% chance to stun enemies on attack.

Evaluation

Excellent for crit-focused DPS and Saiyan-centered setups. The set is already strong without the conditional bonus, but it becomes elite when you can activate the Saiyan-range damage boost. The stun chance adds extra utility, making it valuable for both damage and wave control.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Top + Bottom: +10% Range and +20% Damage for 10 seconds when this unit hits with type advantage.
• Accessory: If this unit takes down an enemy it has type advantage against, gain +40% Damage and -20% Cooldown for 10 seconds.
• Limit: The Accessory effect is not stackable and has a 10-second cooldown.

Evaluation

Premium when you can play around type advantage. Since elemental advantage already matters in UTDX, Great Mage is extremely strong on the right stage or matchup. It is less universal than pure stat sets, but its damage and cooldown payoff makes it one of the best specialized bossing and stage-clearing sets.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Full Set: -7.5% Cooldown and +15% Range.
• Accessory: -7.5% Cooldown and +15% Range.
• Peroxide tag: +10% Damage, +5% Buff Potency, +8.5% Crit Damage.
• Reaper tag: +20% Hyper Armor Damage, +12.5% Armor Penetration, +15% Range.
• Rage tag: +25% Crit Damage, +10% Crit Rate, +10% Range.
• Hollow tag: +12.5% Damage, -7.5% Cooldown, +15% Range.

Evaluation

A very strong tempo and coverage set. Cooldown reduction and range are useful on almost any attacker, and the tag perks can push the set much higher on matching units. It is especially good for units that need better uptime, larger coverage, or raid/boss pressure through Hyper Armor Damage and Armor Penetration.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Full Set: +2.5% Damage, +10% Range, +5% Crit Rate, +5% Crit Damage.
• Accessory: +2.5% Damage, +10% Range, +5% Crit Rate, +5% Crit Damage.
• Peroxide tag: +10% Armor Penetration, +15% Hyper Armor Damage, -10% Cooldown.
• Reaper tag: +30% Elemental Damage, -12.5% Cooldown, -5% Damage.
• Rage tag: +15% Elemental Damage, -8.5% Cooldown, +10% Buff Potency.
• Hollow tag: +20% Crit Rate, +12.5% Crit Damage, +5% Hyper Armor Damage.

Evaluation

A strong hybrid stat set with excellent tag scaling. The base bonuses are broad and easy to use, while the tag perks can turn it into a powerful elemental, crit, cooldown, or armor-breaking option depending on the unit. Best on matching tagged units, but still serviceable as a general DPS set.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Full Set: +10% Damage, +5% Range, -5% SPA, +5% Crit Rate, +15% Crit Damage.
• Accessory: Deal +10% Damage to enemies under 50% HP.

Evaluation

One of the cleanest all-purpose DPS sets. It improves damage, range, attack speed, crit rate, and crit damage at the same time, then adds an execute-style bonus against enemies below half HP. Great for bossing and late waves where finishing high-HP enemies matters.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Top + Bottom: +10% Dark, Fire, Rose, and Light Damage.
• Accessory: Every 5 hits buffs the next attack to deal extra 20% True Damage, ignoring all resistances.

Evaluation

Excellent for multi-hit or frequent-attacking elemental DPS units. The elemental boost is narrower than universal damage, but the True Damage proc is valuable because it bypasses resistances. Strong in bossing and resistant-enemy situations if the unit can trigger the 5-hit cycle consistently.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Top + Bottom: +10% Damage and +30% DoT Damage.
• Accessory: Every 5th attack gains DoT Damage equal to the unit’s range for 10 seconds.
• Scaling rule: 1 Range = 1% DoT Damage.
• Limit: The Accessory effect does not stack.

Evaluation

The dedicated DoT set. It is excellent on units whose damage profile already leans into burn, bleed, poison, or other damage-over-time effects. It is less universal than raw DPS sets, but on a proper DoT unit with good range, the Accessory scaling can become very meaningful.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Top + Bottom: +5% Damage and +10% Light, Water, and Ice Damage.
• Accessory: Every 6 attacks, the unit gains a damage buff equal to its range for 7 seconds.
• Scaling rule: 1 Range = 1% Damage buff.

Evaluation

A powerful range-scaling DPS set. Sun God is especially good on Light, Water, and Ice units, but the Accessory is the real prize because it converts range into a temporary damage buff. Best on units with strong range values and steady attack cycles.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Top + Bottom: +5% Damage, -5% Cooldown, and +5% Range.
• Accessory: Active Ability Cooldown -5%.

Evaluation

A simple but useful generalist set. It improves the core combat loop without needing tags, type advantage, meter, or specific mechanics. It is best on units that care about active ability uptime, but its numbers are more modest than the top-tier burst and scaling sets.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Top + Bottom: +10% Critical Rate and +25% Critical Damage.
• Accessory: Refunds 5% of yen spent on upgrade.

Evaluation

A good crit set with an economy side bonus. The Top + Bottom perks are useful for crit-scaling DPS units, while the Accessory refund can help with upgrade costs. However, because the Accessory is economic rather than combat-focused, it is more practical than meta-defining.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Top + Bottom: +5% Damage and +10% Dark, Rose, and Fire Damage.
• Accessory: Every 5 attacks, increase DoT Damage by 20% for 10 seconds.

Evaluation

A solid elemental DoT option. Hokage works best on Dark, Rose, or Fire units that also benefit from DoT boosts. It is useful on the right unit, but its ceiling is more restricted than Reanimated Ninja because its DoT bonus is smaller and its elemental coverage is specific.

Stats / Buffs / Set Bonuses

• Top + Bottom: +5% Damage and +10% Wind Damage.
• Accessory: Increase buffs received by 1.1x.

Evaluation

A support-synergy set rather than a raw carry set. Junior Ninja is best on Wind units or units that are regularly receiving external buffs. Its value depends heavily on the team around it, so it can be useful in coordinated buff setups but is less impressive as a standalone DPS option.
