The Crow Relic is a Secret Material added in the Villain Invasion (Update 0.5). It is the most important item for earning rewards from the event. You can enter Villain Invasion acts without one, but you must have and consume a Crow Relic after clearing an act to receive Villain Coins and other completion rewards.
What Is the Crow Relic?
- Type: Secret Material
- Released: July 25, 2026
- Use: One-time consumable
- Purpose: Unlocks Villain Invasion completion rewards
Each Crow Relic is consumed after a successful clear, so you’ll need to keep farming more if you want additional event rewards.
How to Get Crow Relics
Crow Relics drop from Villain Invasion.
The fastest farming method is:
- Farm Act 3 repeatedly.
- Equip event bonus units and skins.
- Reach the maximum 100% bonus to increase your relic farming efficiency.
Many players choose Act 3 because it offers a good balance between clear speed and relic farming.
How to Use Crow Relics
- Enter a Villain Invasion act.
- Complete the stage.
- Consume a Crow Relic after the clear.
- Receive your Villain Coins and event rewards.
Without a Crow Relic, you’ll finish the act but won’t receive the event completion rewards.
Should You Spend Crow Relics on Act 4?
Usually, yes, if your team can clear it consistently.
Benefits

- Faster progress toward exclusive event rewards.
Drawbacks
- Hardest act in the event.
