Honkai: Star Rail 3.7 Relic Recon Event Guide!

Hey, Trailblazers!

The Relic Recon event is one of the most highly anticipated features in Honkai: Star Rail Version 3.7. For a limited time, Trailblazers can obtain fully leveled 5-star Relics with optimized stats, skipping the usual grind and RNG. This guide covers everything you need to know to maximize your rewards.

Event Overview

- Event Period: November 5, 2025 – December 15, 2025 (03:59 server time)

- Unlock Condition: Trailblaze Level 21 or higher

- Key Rewards: Pre-upgraded 5-star Relics and Planar Ornaments at +15 with tailored stats.

During the event, you'll use Access Cards to open special treasure chests aboard the Herta Space Station. Each chest contains a Relic that's already enhanced to the max level, complete with a useful Main Stat and strong Subsidiary Stats.

 

How to Play

Select Your Target Relic Set

Before opening chests, choose a character and a Relic set you want to build. The game offers a System Plan for those unsure about optimal stats—ideal for beginners or players looking to save time.

Obtain Access Cards

Complete new missions and content introduced in Version 3.7 to earn Access Cards. These are used to open treasure chests in Herta's vault. Each chest guarantees one +15 Relic.

Store, Compare, and Replace

- You can temporarily store one Relic per slot (e.g., Head, Hands, Body, etc.).

- Stored Relics can be equipped on characters during the event.

- If you obtain a duplicate for a slot, compare the stats and keep the better one. The game provides hints about Main and Subsidiary Stats based on your target character.

- All stored Relics become permanent after the event ends.

 

Character & Relic Selection Strategy

Mechanism: Characters and relics can be freely selected. Relic sub-stats are generated based on the system-recommended stats for the chosen character. There is a pity system (guaranteed to start with 4 sub-stats, including 2 effective ones), but the main stat for the six relic slots may not always be the one you want.

To maximize the value of your Relic rolls, strategically selecting your target character and set is crucial. The system generates sub-stats based on the chosen character's recommended stats. Use the following strategies to target specific sub-stats and avoid unwanted ones:

For Main DPS

ATK/CRIT DPS who do NOT want SPD sub-stats:

Target: Phainon

Phainon

Logic: This forces the system to recommend a Physical DMG% Planar Sphere. Choose this only if your DPS can utilize a Physical orb or if the set bonuses are more critical than the elemental damage. Focus on getting your ideal outer set.

ATK/CRIT DPS who DO want SPD sub-stats:

Target: The specific DPS character you are building

Logic: This is the standard approach, giving you the correct elemental DMG% orb and SPD as a recommended substat.

HP/DEF/CRIT DPS:

• Without SPD: Target Castorice or Tribbie.

Castorice

Tribbie

• With SPD: Target Evernight or Mydei.

Evernight

Mydei

Note: Always verify the resulting Planar Sphere element (e.g., Ice, Quantum) matches your DPS's needs.

Break Effect DPS:

Target: Lingsha

Lingsha

Logic: This ensures the system prioritizes Break Effect and other relevant stats.

For Supports

SPD/ATK Supports

Target: Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae

Dan Heng • Permansor Terrae

SPD/CRIT DMG Supports

Target: Cerydra or Trailblazer(The Remembrance)

Logic: While you may get an unwanted ATK% substat, it is generally more usable than Effect RES for these characters.

SPD/HP Supports (Healers)

Target: Bailu

Bailu

Logic: Optimizes for HP% and SPD, with Effect RES as a less-priority but still acceptable substat.

SPD/Break Effect Supports

Target: Gallagher

Gallagher

Logic: Prioritizes Break Effect and SPD, with Effect RES as a secondary sub-stat.

Tips for Success

It is highly advised to use this event to gear your Main DPS characters. They have the most demanding stat requirements (e.g., starting with 4 sub-stats including CRIT Rate and CRIT DMG). Supports can often function well with relics that have fewer optimal sub-stats.

- Prioritize High-Value Sets: Focus on Relic sets with universally strong stats (e.g., Quantum DMG sets) or those paired with less useful secondary sets to maximize efficiency.

- Leverage Stat Hints: Pay attention to the system's recommendations—especially for stats like SPD, CRIT Rate, or CRIT DMG—to ensure you keep the most useful pieces.

- Farm Consistently: The more Access Cards you earn, the more chances you have to secure a full set of ideal Relics. Don't miss daily missions and event tasks!

 

Final Thoughts

The Relic Recon event is a game-changer for both new and veteran players. It offers a direct path to minimizing the frustration of Relic RNG and helps you build characters faster than ever. Whether you're optimizing for a meta DPS or finally finishing support builds, this event is your chance to secure top-tier gear. Mark your calendars for November 5th, and prepare to dive into Herta's treasure trove!
