Best Archer Relics in Honkai Star Rail

Relics

Best Relic (Image via Sportskeeda Gaming, HoYoverse)

Genius of Brilliant Stars is a Quantum set that lets Archer deal the most damage. It lets you ignore 10% Defense of the target, and if the enemy has a Quantum weakness, you can ignore 10% more.

Scholar Lost in Erudition is your second-best choice as it increases skill and ultimate damage and gives you a bonus Crit Rate.

• Rutilent Arena
• Inert Salsotto
• Space Sealing Station

Anything that can buff your skill, follow-ups, and ultimate works well on Archer. The Rutilent Arena set works the best, followed by Inert Salsotto and Space Sealing Station.
