What are Splatoon Raiders relics?

Splatoon Raiders relics are items that you can equip to your ink tanks to give you a few buffs. The vast majority of relics have two upgrades, as they combine with two other relics to provide a multifaceted boost as you find more. Relics that can fuse will automatically do so after you finish a level. There's only one relic that doesn't have upgrades, found at the very end of the game.

There are different colors of relics, which signify which tank(s) you can equip them on. Grey relics can go on any tank, whereas blue, orange, and purple can only go on speed, power, and tactical tanks, respectively.

The combinations of boosts you can make are pretty endless, meaning you'll be able to play around with the effects that help you the most. If you want to check out all the relics you've got, you can view them with Big Man at the hoard on the Hideout Ship, or simply open the menu.

How do I get Splatoon Raiders relics?

You can find relics as treasure at the end of most levels in the game. They're in the treasure chests you're hunting for, after all! The Buried Ruins levels have three relics in each, which you need to use the three different tanks to unlock. You can find some in the Bottomless Buffet levels, too, so keep going for more rewards.

What are relic powers in Splatoon Raiders?

Relic powers are the buffs that each provides when equipped on your build. Whether it's reducing ink consumption, increasing your shot power, providing ink on the ground for you to swim in, or explosions, there are tons of ways that relic powers can aid you in your time of need.

You can equip one at the start of the game, and by the end, you can equip five at a time. It's up to you to figure out the best combination of survivability, damage boost, and tank-specific abilities that work for you. If you need a hand, check out our favorite Splatoon Raiders builds.

How do I unlock more titles in Splatoon Raiders?

As you work your way around the islands and dig up more treasure, your 'score' goes up. When looking at your relic collection in Big Man's hoard, in the top-right corner, you can see your title and associated Shard Yield. The better your title (and the more relics you've found), the higher your shard yield is when mining Spirhalite.

Essentially, every relic you pick up earns you gold, and as you accumulate more, you unlock new titles.

We're still working on unlocking the last three titles, but here's what we've unlocked so far:

  • Jr. Survivalist - shard yield +10%
  • Beachcomber - shard yield +20%
  • Loot Scavenger - shard yield +30%
  • Treasure Hunter - shard yield +40%
  • Seasoned Explorer - shard yield +50%
  • Wise Collector - shard yield +60%
  • TBC - shard yield +70%
  • TBC - shard yield +80%
  • Gold Whisperer - shard yield +85%
  • TBC - shard yield +90%
  • Gazillionaire - shard yield +95%
  • Legendary Raider - shard yield +100%

There you are - everything you need to know about Splatoon Raiders relics, how to find them, and what benefits you get.

Before starting at Pocket Tactics, Quinn freelanced articles and taught writing. They have a degree in Politics and another in Writing, a deep longing for the nostalgic days of the Wii’s prime era, and an interest in storytelling. With a taste in gaming described as ‘eclectic’, they’ll play pretty much anything as long as it’s got some soul and fun colors. They particularly love Hades, Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, Roblox, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf (the latter even despite losing their 3DS many moons ago). Their biggest gaming guilty pleasure is interactive romance novels, but they frequently need to remind themselves that it’s okay to like things, actually.
