Best Peglin Relics — Tier List

Updated 20 Oct 2026 Source Synthesized from published Peglin guides; rewritten in original wording on 20 October 2026 By

Relic rankings assume an average build. A relic that looks weak alone can be top tier once a second relic supports it.

Run-defining

Per-peg effects and effects that scale with how long an orb stays on the board. These are the relics that break a run open.

Strong

Crit boosts and orb-specific multipliers. Strong, but they want an orb that can use them.

Situational or skip

Flat one-time bonuses and narrow effects. Fine early, forgettable later.

Frequently asked questions

What is the single strongest relic type?

Anything that pays per peg. Peg count is the number that grows fastest in a run.

Should I take a relic I do not understand?

Check the [relic database](/peglin/relics-database/) first. A wrong pickup is permanent.

Do relics stack?

Generally yes, and stacking is where the largest numbers come from.
