ELDEN RING NIGHTREIGN RELIC SYSTEM - REFERENCE GUIDE

Core System Structure

1. CHALICES/VESSELS:

   • Each character has multiple chalice options (Urn, Goblet, Chalice, Grails)
   • Every chalice provides EXACTLY 6 relic slots total
   • Always 3 non-deep slots + 3 deep slots
   • Slot colors vary by chalice (Red/Blue/Yellow/Green/White)
   • White slots are universal and accept any relic color

2. RELICS:

   • Each relic is a complete, indivisible unit with 1-3 effects
   • Relic sizes: Small (1 effect), Medium (2 effects), Large (3 effects)
   • Cannot swap individual effects - the entire relic is equipped or not
   • Relics must match slot color (except White/Universal slots)
   • Non-deep relics: Standard relics (Red/Blue/Yellow/Green)
   • Deep relics: Yellow deep relics only, typically have "+2" or "+3" versions

3. SCREENSHOT FORMAT:

   • Top row: Shows 6 relic icons representing the 6 equipped relics
   • Bottom sections: Each relic icon corresponds to one section showing its 1-3 effects
   • Example: If a screenshot shows "Slot 1" with 3 effects listed, that's ONE relic with 3 effects
   • The relic positions (1-6) map directly to the sections showing their effects

Balancer Relics

• Name: "Will of the Balancers" or "Will of Balance"
• Come in Red AND Blue variants (non-deep only)
• Each provides: Improved Melee Attack Power (×1.05) + Improved Skill Attack Power (×1.15)
• STACK with themselves multiplicatively
• 2 Balancers = ×1.1025 melee, ×1.3225 skill

Important Rules

1. Relics are complete packages - you cannot mix/match individual effects
2. Total slots are always 6 (3 non-deep + 3 deep)
3. Deep relics are typically stronger versions with "+2" or "+3" designations
4. When analyzing screenshots:
   • Count the relic icons at top = number of relics
   • Each section of effects = ONE complete relic
   • Don't confuse number of effects with number of relics

Analysis Framework

When user provides screenshots:

1. Identify which chalice is being used (if shown or described)
2. Count total relics (should be 6)
3. Identify which 3 are non-deep vs 3 deep
4. List each relic as a complete unit with all its effects
5. Calculate total multiplicative damage bonuses
6. Consider synergies and trade-offs for the character's playstyle

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Don't count effects as separate relics
• Don't suggest swapping individual effects
• Don't forget the 3+3 slot structure
• Don't assume all slots are the same type
• Don't forget Balancers come in both Red and Blue variants
• Don't forget White/Universal slots can equip any color relic
