Relics are special items you can equip on your characters in Universal Tower Defense to make them stronger. Each character can wear three relics at once, and when you equip a full matching set, you get big bonuses that help you win battles. Relics give two types of benefits: basic stat increases that work all the time, and powerful set bonuses that activate when you wear complete sets.
Understanding which relics to use and how to get them helps you build stronger teams. This guide covers every relic set in Universal Tower Defense , all the stat bonuses they provide, and how to upgrade them for better performance.

What Are Relics in Universal Tower Defense?
Relics are equipment items that give your characters extra stats and special abilities. Each character can equip three relic pieces: one Head piece and two armor pieces (Body and Leg). When you equip relics on a character, they get stronger right away from the basic stats, and if you complete a matching set of three pieces, you unlock powerful set bonuses.
Relics work differently from traits. Traits change how your character performs during battles, while relics give direct stat increases and special effects. A character can have both traits and relics equipped at the same time, and both bonuses work together to make your character stronger.

How to Upgrade Relics in Universal Tower Defense
You can make relics stronger by upgrading them with Power Ups. Power Ups are items you get from playing the game. Here’s how upgrading works:
- Step 1: Open Your Inventory: Go to your inventory and find the relic you want to upgrade.
- Step 2: Use Power Ups: Click on the relic and press the Enhance button. Each Power Up increases the stats on that relic.
- Step 3: Unlock New Sub Stats: Every 3 Power Ups, you get a chance to add a new Sub Stat to the relic. This chance can fail, so you might need to upgrade more than 3 times to unlock new stats.
- Step 4: Keep Upgrading: Continue using Power Ups to improve your relic’s stats. Higher level relics have stronger numbers and more Sub Stats.
