This was part of the The Awakened Invasion. As of 19/12/2024, the event has concluded.

Description

The Relic is a spawner tower that summons medieval-type units along the path, primarily dealing Melee or Collision damage. Similar to the Barracks, its units can stop to attack when enemies enter their range.

It was originally available from Tier 22 of the The Awakened Invasion battle pass, though it could be purchased separately for 1,500.

Upgrades

Like all event towers, this tower has only one path. Each upgrade gradually increases the number of units it can spawn, starting with the Bandit Level 0 at level 0, Bandit Level 1 at level 1, Zealot at level 2, Archers at level 3, and Warden at level 4. At level 5, it summons the seraph and the Overseer Prime, along with units spawned at previous levels except for the Bandits, which are removed.

Levels 0 through 4 are inexpensive and useful in the early game. However, the max level costs a whopping $1,000,000 and is a major step up from Level 4. The Seraph is an Airborne unit capable of dealing massive DPS when stacked in one location, while the Overseer Prime has 150,000 Health, 30% collision resistance, can summon additional units Seraphs and Wardens, and delivers huge burst damage from across the map. Due to its cost, the max level is intended primarily for late-game use, and it is very versatile in this regard, capable of dealing with hordes and bosses effectively.

Strategies

• The Relic, with a cheap base cost and overall upgrade costs (ignoring Level 5), is a great early game tower, although it should not be used by itself but in conjunction with other towers.
  • In particular, the Archers for just $2,500 detect stealth, deal good DPS, spawn relatively fast, have 200 HP, and are only weak to Melee Resistant enemies like the Executioner, which is great value.
• If you're trying to get to Level 5, it is best to use the Relic in modes where $Cash will flow in plentifully. Expert Mode, Endless Mode, and Nightmare Mode are good examples.
  • Farms and Golden Mobsters are very useful to get more $Cash quickly to upgrade the Relics fully.
  • The bottom path EDJ may also be helpful to reduce upgrade costs, although because the first three levels are cheap and it does not reduce the cost of the final level, it is generally unnecessary.
• It is worth noting that most bosses have collision resistance, with bosses such as the Destructor and Nightmare Void having higher resistance. This means collision damage from the Overseer Prime and Phantom Overseer deal less than they normally would.
• The Relic is excellent in the late game, as both the Overseer Prime and Seraphs deal extremely high DPS and are able to deal a huge amount of damage to bosses; just three Overseer Primes can take off a good portion of the Alpha Predator's health when considering Quad teams.
  • Additionally, the Overseer Prime has map-wide range, which eliminates the core issue of bosses moving past defenses, and ensures damage can be dealt to bosses consistently.
• Bottom path EDJ can be used to reduce the cooldown of Relic Summon. Considering the normally long 200 second cooldown, the 40 seconds shaved off by the EDJ is very helpful.

Trivia

• The Overseer Prime has the highest DPS in the game, outputting 21,276.6 DPS with its Cleaving Claw when targeting airborne enemies, surpassing the War Machine III and Refractor.
• The Relic is the 3rd most expensive tower, behind Refractor and War Machine Factory
• The Relic's Phantom Overseer/former Overseer, the APC, and Ice Breaker's Ice Shard are the only units in the game who do not attack and can only damage enemies via Collision.
• The Relic was a very rushed tower, as the teased Seraph unit was missing on release (alongside other units, which would go unreleased), and the tower underwent a ton of statistical changes within a few days. Its release also came with a strange bug regarding the Overseer.
  • The rework would not come until over a year later, however.
• The now removed Overseer was the first Unit in the game with Full Stun Immunity.
• The Relic is the 2nd ever tower to get reworked, with the first one being Shotgunner.
• The Relic is the 1st building spawner tower to have an Interactive ability.
