Honkai Star Rail 3.0 is set to add two new Relic sets

As mentioned, two new Relic sets will be added to the title with the Honkai Star Rail 3.0 update. After the patch goes live, players can access the Cavern of Corrosion stage and farm these sets using Trailblaze Power. The new CoC stage, Path of Aria, is set to feature the two upcoming Relic sets: Hero of Triumphant Song and Poet of Mourning Collapse.

Let's take a look at what these sets can do when equipped on a character:

Hero of Triumphant Song

• 2-piece set effect: Grants the wearer a passive 12% ATK boost.
• 4-piece set effect: When the wearer’s memosprite is present on the battlefield, the former’s SPD gets boosted by 6%. Additionally, when the wielder’s summon attacks an enemy, both receive a 30% CRIT DMG boost for a total of three turns.

Poet of Mourning Collapse

• 2-piece set effect: The wearer receives a 10% Quantum Damage boost.
• 4-piece set effect: When this set effect is active, lowers the wielder’s SPD by 8%. If the wearer has 110 or 95 SPD before they engage in a fight, their CRIT Rate receives a 20% or 32% boost, respectively. The wielder’s memosprite can also receive this CRIT boost.

Suitable characters for Hero of Triumphant Song

The Relic set Hero of Triumphant Song is perfect for the upcoming Remembrance characters. Here are the characters that can utilize this set’s full power:

• Aglaea
• Remembrance Trailblazer

Both units have access to their unique summons/memosprite — Garmentmaker and Mem, respectively — which can easily unleash the set’s maximum potential. Since Aglaea and Remembrance Trailblazer (MC)’s memosprite specializes in dealing damage, players should be using the Hero of Triumphant Song Relic set to build them.

Best characters for Poet of Mourning Collapse

Poet of Mourning Collapse is the second Relic set that can be acquired from Path of Aria: Cavern of Corrosion. The characters suitable for this set are:

• Qingque
• Xueyi

While Qingque can easily utilize this set’s 4-piece effect, Xueyi doesn’t have good synergy. Since no characters in this gacha title wield the Quantum Element and can summon a memosprite, players must wait until HoYoverse unveils a unit that specializes in this field.
