What tier is Critical Vessel in Guildrun?
Critical Vessel is S tier on patch 0.5.12. Crit 20 times and all Heroes gain 25 Attack Speed and 5 Omnivamp. Published Rush Duelists Stack comps run it, and on a large sample its runs beat almost every other Common relic.
What is the difference between a relic and an item?
Items are equipped by a single hero and take up one of that hero's slots. Relics apply to the entire guild and do not use slots. That makes relics the stronger of the two when a build starts coming together.
How do I increase my team size?
Harmony Crystal raises it by one, up to five. So does each of the fifteen Mandate relics, but those require finishing an objective first, like dealing 15000 auto attack damage or applying 30000 shields. Pick the Mandate that matches what your team already does.
